A comprehensive program for the identification and resolution of deficiencies related to unauthorized alteration of Henry J.

Kaiser Co.(HJK) welding procedures has been developed by the CG&E Nuclear Engineering Department (NED).

This program will identify unauthorized alterations, document these alterations on the appropriate deficiency document, identify potential impact on safety related hardware, propose resolutions, and evaluate the proposed resolutions for code and technical acceptability..

A detailed review of all HJK welding procedures and currently available supporting documentation is being accomplished by the HJK Welding and Quality Engineering Departments concurrent with an independent review by the CG&E Quality Confirmation Program (QCP).

The QCP review has to date identified two additional cases of alledgedly unauthorized alterations of HJK welding procedures and has identified these on Condition Evaluation Requests 83-42 and 83-48.

b Mr. J.G. K pplor Regional Administrator March 29, 1983 LOZ-83-0004 Page 2 Following the reviews for identification of any additional unauthorized alterations of welding procedures, CG&E Quality Engineering will combine the results of the two reviews and document any deficiencies on Corrective Action Requests.

The impact of these deficiencies on safety related hardware and the development of resolutions to these deficiencies in accordance with the FSAR commitments will be addressed by a Task Force comprised of Sargent & Lundy, CG&E Nuclear Engineering and Quality Assurance Departments, and HJK Welding and Quality Engineering Departments.

This procedure review program is being combined with the program established for resolution of 10CFR50.55 (e), Item M-29, Lack of Weld Procedure Qualification.

Subsequent reports on the status of this review and evaluation will be provided under Item M-29.

We trust the above will be found acceptable as an interim report under 10CFR50.55 (e).
