. Steve O'Connor reviewed the design control portion of the inspection. His review included 0 Sierra Nuclear Corporation (SNC) drawings and design packages to ensure they received the appropriate level of technical as well as independent review. He also assessed drawing and design package reviews to ensure PGE reviewers had t.ppropriate technical qualifications. Mr. O'Connor l looked to ensure documents were logged into, and maintained, in an existing systen and tracked by that system. His area of review included assessing the controls for responding to corresponding issues and commitments, and methods for monitoring them through to inclusion in an appropriate docuraent, such as a technical specification or procedure. He found the people he contacted during his inspection to be conscientious and knowledgeable. He said Trojan's tracking systems and control mechanisms looked very good. Mr. O'Connor had only minor questions, which were quickly resolved, and had no findings.

Howard Stromberg reviewed the QA aspects of the design process for the ISFSI project. His l review included assessing proceduralized controls which ensure documents are complete and have  ;

an appropriate level of approval. He assessed the QA portions of the licensee's )

10 CFR Part 72 application for completeness. Mr. Stromberg also reviewed design control related to interface with the contractor and issues requiring NRC approval were resolved. His inspections produced only a few issues that were quickly resolved by PGE employees.

Mr. Stromberg had no findings. I Tom Matula focused on management controls for the QA portion of the ISFSI project.

Specifically, he looked at QA policies, authorities, organization, and the independence of QA staff members. He expressed an appreciation for our graded approach to components and stated the quality assurance plan for the planned dry storage system seems cornprehensive. He found Trojan's tracking program for corrective actions to be excellent, and specifically was impressed with the Trojan two-week look ahead program. Mr. Matula's area of review included 10 CFR Part 21 postings, purchase order requirements, document control, procedure development and processing changes, and controlling issuance of drawings. He stated that he liked the annual audit, which includes visual verification of all controlled documents. The scope of the QA audit program was found to be appropriate, and Mr. Matula noted it includes both internal and external activities. He also found personnel training and qualifications to be satisfactory.

Mr. Matula continued by emphasizing the extreme importance of vendor control and oversight.

He stated that Trojan had great programs and systems and he was very impressed with them. He urged us to continue following them, but warned against becoming complacent over time. He said the real test of the programs will be during fabrication and installation of project components.

All the Team members stated they were impressed with Trojan personnel cross-training they

, encountered, specifically the use of databases and overall knowledge of the plant.

, 1 Mr. Matula stated that the next step will be for the Team to generate the inspection report. There j were no findings and a PGE response will probably not be required. The Team will probably be back later in the year when there is more activity going on. He again thanked employees for their support.

Dan Nordstrom expressed his appreciation for the inspection of the QA area.

e Dennis Reid remarked this has been a good trip for him. It is his first time at Trojan and he had a chance to become familiar with the site and personnel. Mr. Reid stated this visit was a good

,! precursor for assuming his responsibilities as Trojan ISFSI Project Manager. He expressed his hope that our current level of preparedness will continue.

Ray Pate added that he is looking forward to working with Mr. Reid.
