'Re: Texas Utilities Generatirs Company, et al.

(Comanche Peak Steam Ele aric Station, Units 1 and 2) Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446 l

Gentlemen:

The Board Chairman has informed Applicants' counsel that in reviewing the record of the June, 1983-hearings he had identified a matter which he believes warrants clarification.

Specifically, the Board noted that Mr. Tolson -( the TUGCO Site

.QA/QC Supervisor) in discussing the computerized record system at Comanche Peak, indicated that data relating to nonconforming conditions identifed on particular components could be obtained.

from.the computerized record system (Tr. 8537). In addition, the Board Chairman r'ecalled having requested during the tour at the site that:nonconformance and inspection reports on a particular component be drawn up from the computer, bdt was .

told.that it was not possible to do so. Accordingly, the Chairman.

has requested clarification (by letter from counsel) of what h.e. thought could be a discrepancy between Mr.'Tolson's testimony and the information received during the site tour.

In response-to this request, Applicants contacted the individual who had responded to the Board's. question during the site tour. That individual stated that he recalled the Board Chairman to have asked to see outstanding (i.e., not ,

yet dispositioned) nonconform'ance and inspection reports for a given component. The response to that guestion was that the' requested information could not be obtained from that computer system. As described below, there_is no inconsistency between Mr. Tolson's testimony.and the response to the Board Chairman's

- question during the site tour. ,

The computerized record system for Comanche Peak collects-information on all components regarding both nonconforming conditions and modifications. However, this system separates the functions of indexing completed records (e.g., closed NCRs or irs) and tracking outstanding items on which work remains to be dono (e.g.,.open NCRs or irs). These two functions are performed by separate computer systems utilizing different data bases. The computer system observed during the site tour is the former system, collecting only completed documentation.

Thus, it was not pbssible to obtain the information (concerning open items) requested by the Board from the particular computer system observed during the site tour. Further, we. note that Mr. Tolson's testimony concerned separation punchlists on which work remained to be performed (Tr. 8536137). Therefore, the information on which Mr. Tolson was testifying also would not have been available from the computer system observed during

'the site tour.

We trust this information is responsive to the Board's question.
