Subject:
New Hampshire Yankee Division of Public Service Company of New Hampshire Pursuant to 10CFR50.55(f)
Dear Sir:
This is to confirm verbal communication with your offices and resident inspection personnel on or about June 23, 1984 regarding the subject organizational entity and 10CFR50.55(f) implications.
As discussed on June 23, 1984, the Joint Owners of the Project adopted a resolution which' created a division of Public' Service Company of New
~ Hampshire, known as the New Hampshire Yankee Division. The New Hampshire Yankee Division hss primary responsibility for the construction of the Seabrook Project.
Regarding 10CFR50.55(f) discussions, we have performed an evaluation to determine whether the establishment of the organizational structure relative to the New Hampshire Yankee Division has changed the Quality Assurance Program described in the Seabrook Final Safety Analysis Report. We have concluded that, with the exception of organizational name changes, the existing program description has not changed.
Public Service Company of New Hampshire continues to retain overall responsibility for Quality Assurance. PSNH has contracted with YAEC for the establishment and implementation of the Quality Assurance Program. The contracted responsibilities to YAEC and other Project participants relative to Quality Assurance, as described in the FSAR, remain intact. Quality Assurance Program commitments described in the Safety Analysis Report have not been reduced in any manner.

Subject:
New Hampshire Yankee Division Present Role in Seabrook Construction
Dear Sir:
On August 9,1984, representatives of the New Hampshire Yankee Division of Public Service Company of New Hampshire, Yankee Atomic Electric, Westinghouse, and United Engineers and Constructors met with numerous managerial level NRC representatives for the purpose of providing a status report on several aspects of the Seabrook Project in support of the NRC Staff's Operating License Application review activities.
At this meeting, Mr. Edward A. Brown, who was elected President and Chief Executive Officer of the New Hampshire Yankee Division by the PSNH Board of Directors, presented the Joint Owners " Resolution for Transfer of Managing Agent Responsibility" (Resolution). The Resolution was adopted by the Joint Owners on June 23, 1984. Pursuant to the Resolution a division of Public Service Company of New Hampshire has been created by PSNH, known as the New Hampshire Yankee Division. The New Hampshire Yankee Division has primary responsibility for the construction of Seabrook Station. As stated at the August 9,1984 meeting, contrary to the form of organization contemplated by l
the Resolution, Mr. Brown is the only member of the New Hampshire Yankee Division that is on the payroll of Yankee Atomic Electric Company at this time. The remaining officers of the New Hampshire Yankee Division remain employees of PSNH.
The purpose of this letter is to document the verbal presentation given on August 9,1984 regarding the present organizational structure at the Seabrook Site. We have chosen to illustrate this through the device of annotating Operating License Application (FSAR) pages in such a way as to reflect the changes which result solely from the implementation of the Resolution to date. As evidenced by the enclosed annotated FSAR pages, Public Service Company of New Hampshire, through its New Hampshire Yankee Division, YWb b f

b United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission August 31, 1984 Attention: George W. Knighton, Chief Page 2 continues to maintain responsibility for the Project including the quality of construction. As was contemplated by the original Construction Permit, the Applicant's ultimate respansibility for construction, and in particular, quality assurance, resides with the Chief Executive Officer of PSNH.
It should be noted from the annotated pages of FSAR, Section 17.1, that the change to the divisional concept of New Hampshire Yankee has not reduced commitments in the Quality Assurance Program [see Reference (b)]. The annotated FSAR pages enclosed herein will be incorporated into a future Amendment to the Operating License Application, preparation of which is underway.
Finally, please note that annotated FSAR page 1.1-1 reflects the current Unit I core load and commercial operation dates presented at the August 9, 1984 meeting.
Very truly yours, W. P. Johnson Vice President COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS)

1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 Project Identification The Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) is subudtted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Conaission (NRC) in support of an application by Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) for an Operating License for Seabrook Station Units 1 and 2 located in the town of Seabrook, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The application is for a Class 103 license as set forth in 10CFR50.22.
The site at Seabrook, New Hampshire is approximately eight miles southeast of the county seat of Exeter and five afles northeast of Amesbury, Massachusetts. The center of the Boston metropolitan area is approximately 40 miles to the southeast of the site.
Each unit employs a four-loop, pressurized water reactor and support auxiliary systems designed by Westinghouse Electric Company. The Seabrook units are similar in design to Duke Power Company's W.B. McGuire Nuclear Station, Texas Utility Generating Company's Comanche Peak Station, and Commonwealth Edison Company's Byron-Braidwood Nuclear Plents.
Each nuclear unit is housed in a steel-lined reinforced concrete containment structure and a concrete containment enclosure structure. These structures were designed by United Engineers and Constructors Inc.
The two units are essentially the same. Descriptions of one unit shall be interpreted as applying to both units, except where specifically noted otherwise. Differences between the two units and structures, systems and components that are shared between the two units are specified in the appropriate location in the FSAR and are summarized in Subsection 1.2.2.
Each unit will be initially operated at core levels up t a and including 3411 megawatts thermal (MWt). This corresponds yo a nuclear steam supply system thermal output of 3425 MWt and a corresponding net electrical output of 1198 MWe. The engineered safety features have been evaluated at a design rating of 3579 MWt.

/3./. /, F 13.1.1.5 CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION / OPERATION INTERFACE a)
Construction Phase The New Hampshire Yankee (NHY) division of Public Service Company of New Hampshire is responsible for the construction of Seabrook Station. The overall responsibility for all activities associated with Seabrook Station resides in decending order with the PSNH Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the NHY President and Chief Executive Officer, and the NHY Senior Vice President, who is designated as management official in overall charge of the construction of the station. The NHY entity is dedicated to the comple-tion of this construction project.
An integrated project organization has been established, working under the direction of the NHY Senior Vice President, to ensure effective project management control. This
' integrated organization is comprised of the Director of Engineering and Licensing and his staff; the Vice President of Nuclear Production and his staff;.and the Vice President in charge of Administrative Services is responsible for interfacing with YAEC Quality Assurance Department. The director of Construction serves as the focal point for all construction activitics. The Assistant Director of Con-struction working with middle level managers directs the construction efforts with regard to project services, constructed systems turnover, project controls, cost and special studies.
The Director of Construction is responsible for ensuring timely and effective direction for completion of construction of the project.
Similarly, the Director of Engineering and Licensing provides the focal point fcr all engineering and licensing activities.
~
An Assistant Director of Engineering and middle level managers provide the direction needed for completion of engineering, special projects, change contrql and the licensing efforts.
The Quality Assurance Department, which interfaces very closely with the. Engineering and Construction Directors' organizations, reports to the YAEC Director of Quality Assurance and inter-faces with the NHY Vice President. All other entities receive project direction through senior management or Vice Presidential levels described above.
The Operations Department is guided and informed of project status for Construction and Engineering through communication interface and meetings with the Construction and Engineering Directors' organizations. This is supplemented by the Startup Test Department that interfaces between Construction /
Engineering and Operations. The Operations and Startup Test Departments report to the Vice President of Nuclear Production.

~
By virtue of the above organizational structure, senior and upper level project management are able to provide project direction and control that ensures schedule and budget adherence, problem resolution, accountability, and timely execution for the project. They are also able to establish, monitor, and consequently meet project goals.
Having an. organization that virtually funnels from four individuals to one assures quick problem resolution and timely execution on the project.
Westinghouse, United Engineers & Constructors (UE&C) and General Electric are three other organizations having major responsiblilities for the design and construction of the Seabrook Project.
Westinghouse is responsible for the design, fabrication and delivery of the nuclear steam supply system, related auxiliary systems and the nuclear fuel. Technical direction for the installation of the equipment and technical assistance throughout the pre-operational testing, initial core loading and testing programa are further responsibilities of Westinghouse.
United Engineers and Constructors (UE&C) is responsible for the engineering, design and construction of the station.
Included in their services is the furnishing of the balance of plant systems and components, structures and switchyards such that a complete and integrated facility will result.
General Electric is responsible for the design fabrication and delivery of the turbine-generator unit.

Inspection Program Implementation
' The programs require that design specifications, drawings, purchase orders, procedures or instructions include the necessary inspection requirements with acceptance and rejection criteria.
These inspection requirements are translated into inspection programs, procedures, and check lists, by manufacturing, construction, installation and test activities in order to specify, control and provide documented evidence of inspection activities. Inspection procedures, instruction and check lists cuntain the following:
1.
Identification of characteristics to be inspected.
2.
Identification of. individuals or groups responsible for performing the inspection operation.
3.
Acceptance and rejection criteria.
4.
Define the method of inspection.
5.
Verification of completion and certification of inspection.
6.
A record of the results of the inspection operation.
Intpections are performed for each work operation as necessary to verify quality.
Qualified inspectors, independent from the individual or group performing the retivity being inspected, perform inspections using equipment that has been calibrated in accordance with the requirements of Section 17.1.1.12.
Inspectors are qualified in accordance with appropriate codes, standards, and regulatory guides and their qualifications and certifications are kept current and on file.
Inspection procedures, plans, instructions or check lists are maintained where the activity is to be performed prior to the start of work. Rework, repair, or modifications are inspected in accordance with the original design and inspection requirements or acceptable alternatives.
Where direct inspection is not possible, provisions are established for indirect control by monitoring process methods, equipment and personnel. Both inspection and process monitoring are used when control is inadequate without both. Inspection results are evaluated to determine that the requirements have been satisfied. Personnel performing receiving inspection, tests and verification processes are required to be qualified to the requirements of Regulatory cuide 1.58, ANSI N45.2.6 and N45.2. YAEC QA peraonnel review the " n. a d,x ;L.;;;r'; QA Manuals, Procedures and Procurement Documents to assure that 17.1-27

These audits are preplanned and in accordance with written check lists or procedures and are conducted by appropriately trained personnel not having direct responsibility in the areas being audited. The audit schedule is established, based on the project status, safety and importance of the l
activities being performed, and the quality history of the audited activity.
M Audits are initiated early enough to assure effective quality assurance for ongcing activities during the initial design and procurement phases.
The program requires audit results to be documented, reviewed by or with the management responsible for the area audited, and appropriate action initiated to correct any deficiencies. The organization conducting the audit is responsible for conducting follow-up actions, as necessary, to confirm that corrective action is accomplished as scheduled. Follow-up action may be accomplished through written communication, reaudit, or other appropriate means. The audit report distribution includes the YAEC
