SUMMARY

OF INSPECTION FINDINGS hF, kyM Implementation of the quality assurance program for design and procurement P :'

i appeared to be consistent with the application and with the AEC Guidance (2)gy

]

dated June 6, 1973, with the following exceptions:

g&?

,.t, 1.

Procedures for engineering and design activities have not all been g;

formalized.. Some have been issued in preliminary form, and_some as yet rammin unissued for work in which South Texas Project activities

'nWF 8-have not as yet been initiated. Prior to~ commencement of South Texas J-oriented, activities, these procedures should be completed and formalized.

Procedures exist for assuring that design changes which are originated i

l'

- - - as a result of internal engineering review are incorporated; however, I'Yd no such procedure exists for design changes which originate as a part of licensing review.

%u-ygg s, :

3.

The procedures developed for use by the' Civil Division do not appear pp,

WW l

to contain provisions for design change control.

7.Sw'r j

4.

Paragraph 17.1.5.a of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report can be interpreted to require review by theDRC and the Quality Assurance Program Review Committee (QAPRC) of all procedures developed by the

)

engineering and design organizations.

Interpretation by E&P is ff '

that only the.end results, i.e., the compic.ted review packages need h5 j

be reviewed by these groups, and that the intent of the quoted

@?,

paragraph was to assure the proper functioning of the above noted 9i procedures rather than to require their review. This item should t

~

result in a PSAR change by E&P to clarify the wording of this

. *i i

)

paragraph.

i 5.

Procedures for indoctrination, training and qualification of personnel do not include requirements for maintenance of records of personnel wa; external to the QA department. Record requirements for personnel

' I." I i

external to the QA department who are utilized in audit or QA training df

activities should be established to fulfill N45.?. 12 record requirements.
