Dear Mr. Artigas:
SUBJECT:
PRELIMINARY DESIGN QUALITY ASSURANCE AUDIT As a follow to the letter sent to you on February ll, 1988, we are forwarding tha following list of concerns which we expect to address during the preliminary audit February 23-25, 1988.
The initial visit should enable us to establish the following:
1.
Thz systems and subsystems considered by GE to be safety-related.
2.
Areas of design for which each party was responsi'la. by systems, hardware, functional area, etc.
3.
Implementing procedures used to :ontrol the design process within each design organization.
4.
Design verification methods and procedures u;ed by each design organizatien, and the extent of design verification performed on safety-related systems and subsystems.
5.
The change control methods and procedures used by each of the design organizations.
6.
The methods and procedures used to designate and process design documents and records by each design organization.
l 7.
Definition of the interface controls / procedures established to handle design input and output information between the design organizations.
8.
The status of completion of the design of the safety-related systems and subsystems.
9.
Any safety-related systems or subsystems for which GE does not consider the design complete to the extent required to initiate l
procurement.

u Ricardo Artigas 10. The location of the design documents (design bases, assumptions, calculations, drawings, specifications) for each safety-rslated system and subsystem.
- 11. The methods and procedures used by each design organization to audit the design process. Location of internal and external audit reports.
12.
Examples of significant findings of design audits as well as their root cause analyses, corrective actions, and subsequent verification.
Since the NRC has accepted GE's QA topical report and GE has overall design responsibility for the ABWR in the United States, the emphasis of the later interdisciplinary team inspections will be to evaluate how effective GE has been in ensuring proper implemented design QA/QC.
Sincerely.
