Persons Contacted Consumers Power Company S. H. Howell, Executive Vice President J. W. Cook, Vice President - Midland Project i
G. S. Keeley, Project Manager - Midland Project B. W. Marguglio, Director Environmental Service and Quality Assurance W. R. Bird, Manager - QA - Midland Project 4
2.
Areas Discussed A summary of the SALP program was presented, including the a.
development, the basis for evaluation, and its purpose.
b.
The results of the NRC's evaluation of the licensee's performance were discussed., (A copy of the evaluation is enclosed).
I c.
Several topics related to enforcement, the inspsetion program, and regulatory planning were discussed with the licensee.
3.
Major Observations a.
Within the areas reviewed during this appraisal period, the non-compliance history for issued inspection reports was low, however, when the items of noncompliance relative to the investigation of Zack activities at the Midland site are added, the numbers are high.
The investigation report for the Zack activities is under review for escalated enforcement.
b.
Of-the twelve construction deficiency reports of problems reported by the licensee in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(e) requirements, four were deemed to be within the control of the licensee.
c.
The NRC acknowledged that the licensee had undertaken a ssjor re-organization to improve licensee control of activities, however, some problems persist.
(See Inspection Reports No. 50-329/80-36 and No. 50-330/80-37.)
d.
These significant problems were identified during the evaluation period. They were:
(1) RPV Anchor Bolts - two meetings were held relative to these bolts. It was recognized that these. problems originated in the
- period of 1973.

.i (2) Qualification of QC inspectors for containment post tensioning work - additional training and instruction was required to bring the inspectors up to an acceptable level after identification of the problem by the NRC. The meetings in RIII were documented in an inspection report.
3 (3) Investigation of HVAC Zack Company activities - a leegthy in-vestigation was conducted at the site. Bechtel and Consumers Power Company were aware of continuing problems with quality requirements, but did not stop the work. The investigation report is under review for escalated enforcement action.
The licensee was informed that the types of concerns which contributed to the three related problems were simular to there identified in previous years. While we recognized that CPCo had taken actions to improve its QA/QC operation through reorganiza-tion and restructure, additional efforts were warranted.
4.
Overall Assessment The overall performance of Consumers Power Company during the appraisal period, as related to the Midland Unit I and Unit 2 plants, is considered s
adequate.
5.
Planned NRC Actions Increased inspection effort is planned in the areas of: Quality Assurance, Management and Training; Soils; and HVAC.
