TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: Michael B. Sellman, President --

1 THE QUALITY MISSION I

The designers, builders and management of Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company have been - <

' committed to high standards of engineering and operational quality from the beginning.-- During the ensuing years we have installed substantial plant modifications, conducted special

. operational performance tests, and dramatically expanded personnel training programs and -

!. staffing to insure continued quality improvements in plant reliability and safety.

Uncompromising dedication to continuous quality improvement must continue and be vigorously _

pursued by every member of our organization if we are to deserve the public confidence .that is '

necessary for continued success. Among other things, uncompromising dedication to quality ~

. Improvement requires:

Not only full understanding and compliance with requirements, but a willingness to continually question, upgrade and improve the requirements.

iThorough understanding of yourjob functions and an understanding of why yourjob is important.

Producing, expecting and accepting nothing but the highest standards of-performance. Make sure that the right things are done correctly the first time.

Identification, repair or reporting of any equipment, process or material in the plant that is nonconforming, deficient or otherwise not up to an acceptably high level of performance. ..

A:\oOAP.R12 -

~ . .

ATTACHMENT 1 (Continued) i C The Quality Assurance Program (QAP)is the regulatory basis for the processes and C controls we need to achieve a high level of quality and safety. Achievement and .

l C verification of quality are line management functions which are prescribed by the OAP and its implementing procedures. The QAP has provided for the Quality Programs Department to be the principle coordinator and consultant for quality verification activities.

I challenge every employee to actively cooperate and support our fundamental quality objectives of continuous quality improvement, safe operation and high public confidence. You are the key to successful p_ursuit of excellence in all Maine Yankee activities. .

ALTERNATIVEt Maine Yankee shall perform receiving inspection in a manner and in an environment which does not endanger the requisite quality of the item; however, receiving area environmental controls may be less stringent than storage environmental centrols for that item. When inspections are performed in receiving areas with envi onmental controls less stringent than storage area environmental controls, a time limit shall be estab!!shed on a case basis for retention of items in the receiving area. Retention time shall be such that deterioration is prevented and applicable manufacturer recommendations are addressed.

JUSTIFICjf.LQM; Receipt inspection activities are for a much shorter duration and therefore should not be subjected to the same stringent requirements as required for storage.

ALTERNATIVE:

Maine Yankee shall m set the requirements of level A storage for new fuel with the exception of special air filtering; and temperature and humidity controls, t JUSTIFICATION:

The existing storage conditions at the Maine Yankee plant is consistent with the protection provided to the fuel while in storage at the manufacturer

. _2 m = m - 1 (vendcr) and while in transit to the plant site and are judged to provide adeouate protectioc, to the fuel assembly structure which is of highly corrosion resistant materials. We believe that the above listed requirements are Intended for application at the manufacturing facility (vendor) where the uranium pellets may be exposed to the atmosphere and not in its fully encapsulated, and therefore, fully protected form in a completed fuel assembly.
