J. G. Keppler letter to Cordell Reed dated November 6, 1984
Dear Mr. Keppler:
On March 15, 1984, a group from Commonwealth Edison including Messrs. T. J. Maiman, M. J. Wallace, and W. J. Shewski, met with Messrs. E. Greenman, R. F. Warnick, and W.
S. Little, and others af your staff.
They discussed actions which Commonwealth Edison Company has taken and/or initiated in the three areas which were rated category 3 in reference (a), piping, safety related equipment, and quality assurance.
The purpose of this letter is to provide documentation of the information which Commonwealth Edison provided to members of your staff relative to actions taken to improve performance in these areas.
The discussion topics were testing, the mechanical contractor and Quality Assurance.
The attachment begins with summaries of each of these topics.
These are followed by copies of the viewgraphs presented.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this matter, please direct them to this office.
Very truly yours,

SUMMARY
OF PRESENTATION TO NRC MARCH 15, 1985 l
l b.
r Q
f TESTING G
The Braidwood Test and Startup Program was developed initially from the same Startup Manual that Byron used.
The production of that manual strongly considered LaSalle experience as well as the Bu*on experience to that point.
The Braidwood Startup organization was developed to address difficulties experienced at LaSalle County and Byron, particularly the requirement that the Technical Staff personnel complete the end of the testing program and all of the preparatory activities for Station operation at fuel load in the same time frame.
During the course of time, the Braidwood and Byron programs diverged due principally to Lessons Learned, inputs from Quality Assurance, and commitments made to the NRC.
At this point, it is our intention to realign the Braidwood program with the present Byron program.
This should provide familiar activity for Quality Assurance, Project Engineering Department, and the NRC and should produce a " duplicate program" for each succeeding unit.
To accomplish this realignment, the Braidwood Startup Manual will be compared with Byron's and the Braidwood manual will be made to parallel the Byron manual unless there is reason to change both manuals to a new method of operation.
To assure similarity between the tests for subsequent units and the original Byron tests, an example procedure will be written.
This procedure will be applicable to one of the remaining units.
A joint test review board from Byron and Braidwood will approve the technical content of the procedure.
For each subsequent unit the procedure will be reviewed to assure that physical differences between the units have been accounted for.
If a technical problem is found with the example procedure, this information will be fed back to the joint test review board and the example procedure corrected.
Tests which have been previously approved will be reviewed against a checklist to assure that the test at least includes all items covered by the original Byron 1 testing program.
To track this testing realignment, a tracking manager has been assigned.
The Braidwood Lessons Learned program which includes findings from Quality Assurance and the NRC at both Byron and Braidwood has been put into place and, where necessary, administrative procedures are being changed to assure alignment between the two units.
The Byron Unit 2 tester, and the Braidwood Startup Superintendent worked closely on the Byron 1 startup.
They agree on the basic method that is belng used to pursue this particular program.
Commitments to the NRC will be reviewed for both units and, subsequently, commitments to the NRC will be made for both units.
In the area of specific concerns, independent verification of jumpers and lifted Icads has been implemented.
A form for documenting minor test change requests is in use.
Checklists are being prepared for the test review board to use in conducting their reviews.
The checklists will be applied to all reviews completed prior to checklist implementation.
A separate verification of compliance with ANSI 18.7 will be completed when the Braidwood Startup Manual has been modified.

w MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR In response to IE Report 83-09, dated July 1984, Commonwealth Edison Company outlined a number of management actions taken by Commonwealth Edison and their Mechanical Contractor, Phillips, Getschow Company.
These management actions addressed the need to improve the Mechanical Contractor quality and regulatory performance.
Since the initial management actions, both Commonwealth Edison and Phillips, Getschow Company have taken additional management actions to improve quality and regulatory performance.
These actions are outlined on the attached presentation slides.
1.
Mechanical Contractor - Late 1983/Early 1984 Actions 2.
Mechanical Contractor - Beyond 1984 Actions 3.
Mechanical Contractor - Recent Actions-1985 4.
Mechanical Contractor - Outside Assessments 5.
Mechanical Contractor - Q.C. Management Evaluation 6.
Mechanical Contractor - Commonwealth Edison Project Management Actions 7.
Mechanical Contractor - Management Feedback Sessions t summary of the actions presented on the above slides j
indicates that nuclear construction experienced people have been added to the Phillips, Getschow Company Project Management, Engineering, and Quality Control Departments.
When Phillips, Getschow Company did not have the expertise in-house, Commonwealth Edison Company obtained nuclear construction experienced people from other nuclear construction experienced organizations, such as Daniel Construction Company.
Installation and inspection procedures were revised and enhanced.
Work Instructions supplemented installation and inspection procedures.
Quality Control increased monitoring of all process activities, warehousing, and housekeeping.
Trend analysis systems were improved and provided feedback to all Phillips, Getschow Company departments.
Data management tools were provided and put in-place, thus allowing more effective management of retrofit and on-going activities.
Other feedback type activities have recently been undertaken to further improve quality and i
regulatory performance.
Lastly, outside assessments have provided further recommendations for quality and regulatory performance improvements.
Commonwealth Edison and Phillips, Getschow Company have been pro-active towards quality and regulatory performance improvements.
Management actions have been or are being taken to achieve an improved SALP rating.
o QUALITY ASSURANCE Braidwood Site Quality Assurances has focused considerable effort toward improving effectiveness in several areas over the past year.
The overall goal has been to continue the improving trend noted at the end of the previous SALP period and achieve a rating of "1"
for this period.
Positive changes have occurred in the area of organization, staf f size and experience, and audit program depth and techniques.
Also there has been increasing interface with the Operating Quality Assurance Group as preoperational testing and system turnover activities become increasingly important.
The nine slides which follow summarize the high points of each of the major areas of change.
We believe these changes place us in a position to achieve a SALP "1"
rating with our current level of effort in the Site QA organization.
