I, P ACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY DOCKET No. 50-275 e
The Cameron Iron Works (CIW) and the Southwest Fabricating and Uciding Company (SWWCO) both located in Houston, Texas, were visited by me on May 6-7, 1969. The purpose of the visits was to reviev QA-qC programs for the Pacific Gas andElectric Company Diablo Canyon Unit No. I reactor primary piping. A second purpose of the visit was to review problems associated with :he Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) piping for the Consumers Power Company Palisades reactor (Section C of this report).
The problems relative to the Palisades reactor ECCS piping appear to have been satisfactorily resolved.
Our review of the QA-QC programs maintained by CIV, SWDJC0 and Westinghouse in conjunction with the Diablo Canyon Unit No I reactor and with reference to PI 3800 indicates that:
1.
Both CIW and SWE?CO ruintain vigorous, comprehensive QC programs in the form of "tight" process control program concepts and very close management-staff working contact as opposed to more formal QC programs.
However, we feel that, except for such contingencies as relatively long-term loss of key personnel, the process control concept is an adequate QC approach in both plants.
2.
Neither CI'; nor SWnico have structured or maintained a formal CA program. CIW decries the need for a formal QA program whereas sniC0 recognizes a potential value and has proposed additional activity in this area.

3.
The PI 3300 licensee-contractor QA criteria have been adequately expedited, by both Westinghouse (Diablo Canyon PG6E) and Bechtcl (Palisades - C?) in the form of purchase specifications, velding instructions,
forging instructions, QC instructions and audit and review (inspection) programs. Our c nnent in this catter is based partially on a review of documents and records 'aut mostly on com:nents provided by the licensce-contractor and vendor personnel during the visit.
'Je cannot speak f or CP (Region III) but, as you know, PG6E is still in the process of documenting a QA pro;; ram for Com:aiss ton review.
