4 MEMORANDUM FOR:

William V. Johnston, Assistanth[d r for Materials &
Qualifications Engineering, Divisio of Engineering FROM:
Walter P. Haass, Chief, Quality Assurance Branch, l
Division of Engineering
SUBJECT:
QAB COMMENTS ON THE PG&E OVERALL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND THE TES PHASE I PROGRAM MANAGEMENT i
PLAN FOR DIABLO CANYON As requested by a memorandum, D. Eisenhut to R. Vollmer dated April 12, 1982, the following are the QAB coments on the subject documents:
i 1.
PG&E Overall Management Plan transmitted by letter dated April 6,1982 a.
For clarity, the last paragraph in the " Scope" section (p. 2) of the Independent Program should include the words "the quality assurance" prior to " tasks."
b.
It is noted that items 2 and 4 (initial portion) under the Quality Assurance activities of PG&E (pp. 6 and 7) are also the responsi-bility of RFR, Inc. To our knowledge, no results from these acti-vities by PG&E have been reported to NRC.
It would be of interest to compare these results with those of RFR, Inc.
2.
TES Phase I Program Management Plan transmitted by letter dated April 2, 1982 a.
Section 8.0 (pp.12 and 13), "PG&E Action" does not seem to be consistent with the activities by PG&E described in the Manage-ment Plan (pp. 6 and 7) in that the QA activities are not addres-sed.
b.
Section 3.0 of DCNPP-IDVP-PP-004 (Appendix F, " Applicable Quality Assurance Requirements") should be expanded to briefly describe the specific QA controis utilized by the independent contractors for the conduct of the IDVP rather than simply referencing the QA Manuals for each organization. The QA Manuals most likely i
include many more controls that are not ap,1ropriate to the con-i duct of this IDVP.

In general, the two subject documents appear to be complete and responsive t the Commission's Order and the staff's needs in the quality assurance area.

Dear Mr. Denton:
t.n
^
l I am writing on behalf of Governor Brown to elpress concern with two matters discussed at the Staff's April 30 meeting with PG&E.
1.
Bechtel's activities should not proceed until a complete QA program covering Bechtel's scope of work is developed, approved by the NRC, and implemented.
Please refer to the requirements of l-Sections 50.34 (a) and (b) and Criterion 2 of Appendix B, Part 50 of the.NRC's regulations.
Bechtel has not been a participant to date in the Diablo Canyon project, and, given the widespread, demonstrated deficiencies of PG&E's own QA programs, Bechtel should be permitted to proceed only after NRC approval of the Bechtel/PG&E QA program for design and construction.
2.
The conclusions of the Reedy report not only identify the breakdown of PG&E's QA responsibilities through the mid-1978 period, but in various instances the Reedy report documents PG&E's QA deficiencies after 1978.
The Reedy ' report -- particularly when it is read in the context of PG&E's 100-plus design and construc-tion mistakes uncovered by the ongoing verification audit -- must be taken to signal the need for an independent complete audit of i
PG&E's QA programs which were in place during the entire design and construction phases of the Diablo Canyon plant.
Accordingly, the Governor again requests that the Staff order an expansion of the Phase I independent verification program to includa. such a complete audit of QA programs.
Sincerely yours,
=
