AFFIDAVIT OF CYRIL M. SHUSTER

' County of Lake )

State of Ohio )

Cyril M. Shuster, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. I, Cyril M. Shuster, am Manager, Corporate Nuclear Quality Assurance Department (CNQAD), The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company. My business address is 10 Center Road, Perry, Ohio 44081. A statement of my professional qualifications and experience is attached hereto. I have personal knowledge

! of the matters set forth herein and believe them to be true and correct.

2. I have reviewed NRC Inspection Report No. 50-440/

83-13(DE); 50-441/83-12(DE)(the Inspection Report), which

[ was transmitted to CEI by letter dated July 25, 1983. The l

( . .

Inspection Report resulted in a severity level V violation, as indicated in the Notice of Violation attached to the Report.

i i

I am the Chairman of the Quality Assurance Advisory Committee (QAAC) and have personal knowledge of matters relating to i

the QAAC issues that were the subject of the Notice of Violation.

j In addition, I have the responsibility for preparing CEI's response to the Notice of Violation. That response is now in preparation, and will be filed not later than August 24, l

1983, as required-in the Notice.

3. A description of the QAAC is set forth in CEI's prefiled testimony in the above-captioned proceeding, following Tr. 1031, at page 24. As described in the testimony, CEI established the QAAC to provide consultation and advice to CEI's Vice-President, Nuclear Group, on significant QA policy issues. The QAAC reviews a variety of QA program documents, including CNQAP quarterly reports, performance analysis reports (PARS), selected internal audits, NRC inspection reports, I significant nonconformance reports, audit reports, corrective l action requests, and stop work notifications. QAAC members also observe site activities and interview site personnel involved in quality related activities.

L

4. The Notice of Violation identifies procedural discrep-ancies in connection with QAAC activities in 1981 and 1982.

The first finding described in the Notice is that the QAAC held two, rather than four, formal meetings in 1981, contrary i

to the QAAC Charter. A third " informal undocumented" meeting was held in September 1981. See Inspection Report, p. 5.

This consisted of site tours of three nuclear plants by three members of the QAAC. The purpose of the site tours was to evaluate various aspects of the quality assurance programs at those plants for possible applicability to Perry. The December 1981 QAAC meeting was postponed until January 1982.

The QAAC held four formal meetings in 1980.

5. The NRC's second QAAC scheduling concern is that "two conflicting procedure instructions appeared to be in effect for approximately two months in 1982." See Report, pp. 4-5; Notice of Violation. During these two months one instruction provided for biannual meetings and another provided for quarterly meetings. Despite the discrepancy in the 1982 QAAC scheduling instructions, the QAAC held eight formal meetings i Thus far the QAAC has held six formal meetings in in 1982.

1983. Although the QAAC charter currently provides for quarterly meetings, we intend to continue to meet on a frequent basis.

6. The remaining QAAC item discussed in the Notice of Violation and the Inspection Report concerns the QAAC's review of PARS and other Perry quality documents. The Inspec-tion Report at page 5 does acknowledge the statement of the QAAC member interviewed that PARS were available and reviewed by the QAAC in 1981, although this review was not documented. As

indicated in 53, above, the QAAC has and will continue to review PARS and other quality documents, and will continue to monitor individual contractor performe.nce. ,
