Response to NRC Letter dated October 12, 1978 TXX-2903 Page 2 Failure to Promptly Report a Significant Deficieng 10 CFR 50.55(e)(2) states, "The holder of a construction permit shall, within twenty-four hours, notify the appropriate Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection and Enforcement Regional Office of each reportable de fi ci ency. "
Contrary to the above:
A Brown & Root craf t labor superintendent reported to a responsible member of your Quality Assurance organization at approximately 5 p.m.
on October 2,1978, that a "Cadueld" in the Unit 1 containment wall had pulled apart while positioning an attached length of 18-S rebar.
Your Quality Assurance organization apprised the on-site NRC Resident inspec-tor assigned to the Region IV office of this significant construction deficiency at approxinately 10:00 a.m. on October 4,1978, approximately forty-one hours af ter initial identification of the apparent reportable deficiency.
This item of noncompliance is a deficiency.

2)
Each responsible member of our Quality Assurance organization has been made aware of the actions we propose to take and will receive formal indoctrination as soon as the revised procedure is fully developed.
Date of Full Comoliance, i
