SUBJECT:

NOVEMBER 14-16, 1984 TRIP REPORT i TO COMANCHE PEAK

On Thursday, November 15, 1984, I requested that Texas Utilities (TV) make
available QA/QC inspectors in all disciplines from Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2 for discussions with myself and Annette Vietti, a project manager on my staff.

l; We met with approximately 70 QA/QC inspectors in groups of five to ten i throughout the day. The purpose of the meetings was to emphasize to the

] inspectors that the NRC must resolve.all safety concerns before either unit can be licensed. We also assured each group that any inspector having a safety concern could discuss it in confidence with the NRC staff and to' facilitate .

this opportunity, we would accept collect telephone calls. Ms. Vietti and I
provided.them with our telephone numbers by handing out our business cards.

! We also discussed with them the NRC's concerns regarding TU supervisory attitudes toward the QA/QC issues they had raised. We emphasized to them that the NRC will attempt.to ensure that TU adequately addresses all safety concerns identified by QA/QC inspectors. Finally, we discussed with them the role of

. the NRC resident inspector in forwarding their concerns directly to me at NRC headquarters.

It is too soon to tell how effective the meetings were, although it was obvious to us that the inspectors appreciated the interest taken by NRC in fostering an attitude that will permit them to perform their important work

/P effectively. In fact, one group, which voiced several concerns, then met with

& Herb Livermore, TRT QA/QC Group Leader, who will now follow up on a couple of

.f I

the concerns raised.

That evening, three NRC staff members, three of our consultan'ts and myself l assembled for a pre-arranged feedback interview with one of our primary l

allegers, A-3. Although we waited a reasonable amount of time, alleger A-3 8606250168 860611
