MEMORANDUM FOR:

H. 'Schierling, Diablo Canyon Project Manager, NRR FROM:

T. Bishop, Director, Resident, Reactor Projects and Engineering Programs Division Region V

SUBJECT:

TH$ COMMISSION"S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON THE EXTENT OF SAMPLING IN REGION V'S INSPECTION PROGRAM WITH RESPECT TO CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to your verbal request for Region V input to address item No. 1 of an NRC memorandum, Chilk to Dirks,

)

dated September 20, 1983.

During 1982 the Region V inspection staff examined 70.to 90% of the modifications being made to Diablo Canyon as a result of the Independent Verification Program (IDVP) and the Internal Technical Program (ITP). This construction inspections dealt primarly with pipe. supports, raceway supports, and structural steel connections.

In 1983 the scope and number of 4

raodifications being made by the licensee expanded significantly. As a result" the construction inspection effort >was increased; first, by assigning additional inspectors to conduct construction inspections at Diablo Canyon, and second, by contracting with Lawrence Livermore National Labratory to obtain additional resources.

It is estimated that approximately 5% of the licensee's construction activities conducted during 1983 have been examined by either NRC or NRC contract personnel. These construction inspections have been, and will continue to be documented in Region V inspection reports.

A draft copy of this memo'was telecopied to you on October 14, 1983 by Mr. P. Morrill of my staff.
