N, SUMMARN OF SIGNIFICANT MIDLAND ISSUES 1.
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Members of Consumers Power Company, Bechtel Power Company, and Zack Company conducted a meeting on January 27, 1983, to finalize comments to resolve _the issue of requalification of Zack Company welders and to justify prior welding. Final comments concerning the requalifica-tion of welders will be implemented into welding procedures.
Requali-fication of welders is expected after final approval and qualification of welding procedures and the completion of welder retraining.
- The NRC RIII has established a hold point prior to restart of welding to review welder requalification procedures and to observe procedure and welder requalification.
2.
Electrical Installed cable reinspection continued with no additional improperly substituted cables found. Currently six substituted cables of approxi-mately 6,000 cables inspected have been identified. Approximately 2,600 cables remain to be reinspected. All cables were installed in Class lE electrical systems.
The licensee is evaluating the safety significance through the use of a nonconformance report.
3.
gudial soils Work Authorization Werk continued on underpinning piers 12 East and 12 West. The excava-i tion for the piers is down to the bell area (the base area of both piers),
and reinforcing bars are being placed in pier 12 West in preparation to pour pier concrete.
The NRC authorized four point jacking of the feedwater isolation valve pits (FIVPs) in preparation for starting excavation of pier 9.
In addi-tion, probing for electrical duct banks around the borated water storage tanks' (BWSTs) foundations was authorized and is a prerequisite for foundation rework.
4.
Consumers Power Company Construction Completion Program On January 10, 1983, Consumers Power Company submitted a letter to the NRC detailing the Construction Completion Plan (CCP) which was initially presented on December 2, 1982. After NRC review of the letter, an onsite meeting was held on January 20, 1983, between NRC inspectors and site management to clarify and answer questions.
A meeting will be held on February 8,1983, at 9:00 AM for Consumers Power Company to present the CCP to the NRC in more detail. After the formal meeting between Consumers Power Company and the NRC, the public will have the opportunity to ask questions of the NRv.

Enforcement Conference i
An enforcement conference was held on January 18, 1983, in the NRC Region III' office to discuss the results of the diesel generator
- building inspection. As a result of the discussion, further inspec-
- tion was performed January 19-21, 1983,. to obtain additional infor-mation regarding IPINs and closecut inspections.

SUMMARY
OF 'IGNIFICANT MIDLdND ISSUES S
- 1.,
Heating,-Ventilation and Air Conditioning-(HVAC)
The licensee, as a result.of audits of HVAC work activities.
determined that welder certifications and welding procedure qualifications were inadequate. All safety-related welding on
~
HVAC was _ stopped by the licensee on November 30, 1982, and 151.
craft workers were laid off. PNO-III-82-130.was issued.
During this reporting period the licensee has begun developing
. a new set of welding procedures.
2.
Electrical The licensee continued electrical cable reinspections. Two (2)
. additional improperly substituted cables have been identified.
A 'tetal of 'six (6) substituted cables, of approximately 4000 cables reinspected, have been identified. Approximately 5000 cables remain to be reinspected.
3.
Remedial Soils Work Authorization On December 9, 1982, the NRC authorized the licensee to commence construction work on piers 12. East and 12 West under the Turbine Building. On December 13, 1982, Consumers Power Company began work on the piers. During excavation for pier 12 the licensee ran into concrete fill. The chipping and removal of the concrete has caused the work,to proceed slower than the licensee had previously expected.
4.
. Consumers Power Company Construction Completion Program
)
'On December 2,1982. Consumers Power Company presented to the Region III staff a plan,to establish confidence in the adequacy
'i of safety-related work at'the Midland Site. The licensee's initial Construction Completion Program (CCP) required a substantial reduction in most of the safety-related work activities and a subsequent r' eduction in the workforce involving approximately 1100 people.
Implementation of the CCP required removal of construction equipment from the work spaces and building cleanup in-preparation for a complete QC inspection of-every safety-related j
system in every area. PNO-III-82-131 was issued.
Region III has prepared a draf t report of the October-November team inspection.
Escalated enforcement action is being considered.

)
An enforcement conference with the licensee is scheduled for January 18, 1983 in RIII.

3 A meeting was held on Decem'oer 7, 1982 with_IE, NRR, and ELD to discuss.the findings'of.the RIII' October-November team inspection and the licensee's proposed construction completion program. A meeting with the licensee to discuss the CCP is scheduled for
- February 3, 1983 in Midland.
It will be open to public attendance.

i MIDLAND MONTHLY STATUS REPORT i
- Midland Site Inspection Team efforts at the Midland Construction Site during the month-of November were concentrated on the completion'of
~ the Diesel Cenerator Building inspection. The inspection was completed
~
on November 25 and the inspection report is currently being written.
Significant inspection findings are-being evaluated by the Region III 3
staff.
Remedial soils work continues based on a work agreement between the NRC and Consumers Power Company. Auxiliary building underpinning remains halted-pending retolution of the independent third party assessment effort.
the licensee continued the reinspection of 100% of Class 1E calles installed or partially installed'. No further underrated or undersized cables have been found as of the end of the status report period.
LA '100% reinspection of all hangers installed in CY 1980 and a sample
. reinspection of hangers installed af ter January 1,1982 is continuing by the licensee.
- All safety-related welding on the heating, ventilating and air condition-ing (HVAC) was stopped November 30, 1982 after the licensee determined that the Quality Assurance Program for welder certification and procedure qualification was inadequate. Zack Company, the HVAC contractor, discontinued all welding on safety related EVAC systems, laying off 151 craft workers.
