                 Gentlemen:
                 This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W. G. Hubacek of our staff
                 during the period December 11-14, 1979, of activities authorized by NRC
                 Construction Permits No. CPPR-128 and 129 for South Texas Project, Units 1
                 and 2, and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. L. D. Wilson and
                 other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
                Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the
                enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of
                selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews
                with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
                Within the scope of the inspection, no items of noncompliance were identified.
                Two new unresolved items are identified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the enclosed

1 report.

                In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
                Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the

l enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.

                If the report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary,
               it is necessary that you submit a written application to this office, within
               20 days of the date of this letter, requesting that such information be
               withheld from public disclosure. The application must include a full state-
               ment of the reasons why it is claimed that the information is proprietary.
               The application should be prepared so that any proprietary information
               identified is contained in an enclosure to the application, since the
               application without the enclosure will also be placed in the Public Document

                           Statement Regarding Level II Examiner. The IE inspector was informed
                           that the Bowen QA manual statement that nondestructive testing pro-
                            cedures shall be prepared and approved by a " Level II Examiner"
                            contained a typographical error and the current revision of the QA
                           manual has been corrected to read " Level III Examiner." This correction

  '                  Pump 1A and its associated electric motor (PPM 1601-16) were heavily
                     coated with dust from sandblasting activities which had occurred in the
                     vicinity of the pump. It was noted that the dust had apparently infil-
                     trated through the Kelly Klosure which enclosed the pump and a plastic
                    sheet which was draped over the pump.
                                                              It was also observed that the
                    dust had entered a mechanical coupling between the pump and its electric
                    motor.
                               The coupling was separated in accordance with instructions con-
                    tained  on
                    for the pump.the Equipment Storage and Maintenance Instruction (ESMI) card
                   The IE inspector was informed that the above storage conditions had been                  '
                   identified by a Brown & Root QC inspector and the IE inspector was pro-
                   vided a copy of an ESMI verification report dated November 29, 1979,
                   which documented QC's findings. A licensee representative stated that
                   immediate ster would be taken to correct the inadequate storage conditions.
                  The IE inspector expressed concern regarding the adequacy of protection
                  of   stored equipment from dust and grit resulting from sandblasting acti-
                  vities.
                  This matter is considered unresolved pending completion of corrective
                  actions
                  review by  in IE.

                The IE inspector was informed by licensee representatives that Bowen
                 Industries Incorporated (Bowen) has not begun safety-related work on
                HVAC systems for the South Texas Project. A date for commencemest
                of safety-related work was not available. A licensee representative
                also stated that the Bowen QA manual and implementing procedures would
                be issued and approved and that personnel would receive indoctrination
                and
                related training   in QA manual requirements prior to the start %f safety-
                             activities.
               The IE inspector observed storage conditions of six Reactor Containment
               Fan Cooler (RCFC) fans which were located in Kelly Klosure "A". It was
               noted that the ESMI cards for RCFC fans specified that a level B storage
               environment was required. The IE inspector observed that Kelly Klosure

              During discussions of the storage conditions with a Brown & Root repre-
              sentative, the IE inspector was informed that work to upgrade Kelly
              Klosure      "A" had been initiated prior to the NRC inspection and that
              heaters for the structure were on order.
              This matter is considered unresolved and will be followed during
              subsequent IE inspections.

               6.   Concrete Placement
                    On December 14, 1979, the IE inspector observed selected activities
                    related to placement of concrete in EAB-1 to ascertain whether require-
                    ments of Procedure CCP-4, " Concrete Placements and Finishing," were met.
                    The placement included pour numbers El-SO45, El-S039A, El-122-01Z,
                    El-W122-05 and El-WO27-09A. The concrete pour cards for the place-
                    ment specified the delivery of approximately 650 cubic yards of six
                    B-1-3-11 concrete. The IE inspector observed delivery, placing, and
                    consolidation and reviewed testing records during approximately three
                   hours of initial placement activities.
                   The IE inspector observed that marginal lighting conditions initially
                   existed in two wall placement areas but these were corrected by the
                   installation of additional-lighting. Early in the placement, the IE
                   inspector also observed some isolated areas where small quantities of
                   water from a slow drizzle penetrated the weather protection which had
                   been erected over the placement area.
                   Subsequent repairs to the weather protection appeared to be effective in
                   stopping the water leaks.                                             -
                                                                                              \
                   During discussion of the water leakage, a Brown & Root representative
                   stated that water that had accumulated on the horizontal fom would not
                   be allowed to be incorporated into the concrete being placed.
                  No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
             7.   Unresolved Items
                  Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required
                  in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of non-
                  compliance, or deviations. Two unresolved items disclosed during the
                  inspection are discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4.
             8.   Exit Interview
                  The IE inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in para-
                  graph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on December 14, 1979.
                  The IE inspector summarized the purpose and the scope of the inspection
                  and the findings. A licensee representative acknowledged the statements
                  of the IE inspector concerning the unresolved items.

          The IE inspeetors reviewed copies of four formal presentations
          given at the Brown and Root Construction and QA/QC seminar held
          January 4, 1980 on the STP Job site. The four presentations
          by Brown.and Root management are as follows:
                " Introduction," Vice President and General Manager South Texas
                                   Project
        .
                "The Role of QC Personnel at South Texas Project," Project
                                   QA Manager
                " Construction Support for STP QA Program," Project Construction
                                  Manager
                " Conclusion," Vice President and General Manager South Texas
                                   Project
          The IE inspectors noted in review of the second presentation,
          "The Role of QC Personnel at the South Texas Site," that it was
          e=phasized frequently that the QA/QC organization has a responsibility
          in the area of cost and scheduling. While this responsibility may-
          impact on upper QA management, inspectors on the QC level must have
          sufficient independence from cost and scheduling to properly perform
 *
          quality functions. To the contrary, QC inspectors have complained
          that they are pressured by construction to meet schedules.
          Also, the presentation seems overly concerned with impressing on
          QA/QC personnel that they do not have the final word in acceptability
          or unacceptability of any given item or circumstance. This should
          be an infrequent action. Properly defined accept / reject criteria,
          which are understood by construction as well as QC, allow QC
          personnel a firm position from which to make decisions. Ambiguous
          accept / reject criteria, for the sake of flexibility, dilute the QC
          effort, cause indecision, allow confrontation, sicws construction
          and results in poor quality work.
          The above does not reflect requirements of Criterion I of Appendix B
          to 10 CFR 50 in that it does not support the position that the persons
          and organizations performing Quality Assurance funct'ans have
          sufficient authority and organizational freedom to identify
          quality problems; to initiate, recommend, or provide solutions;

! and to verify implementation of solutions and that this required ! authority and organizational freedom includes sufficient independence

from cost and schedule.

        b. Action Item No.2
           Field Requents for Engineering Action (FREA's) and Non-Conformance

'

           Reports (NCH's)
           Procedures that address Field Requests for Engineering Action (FREA's)
           and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR's) are:
                  STP QAP 2.6, "Non-Conformances," Revision No. 9,
                                 Janua ry 31, 1980.
                  GCP-21 " Field Request for Egnineering Action"
           Review of QAP 2.6, Section 5.1, " Reporting Nonconformances" revealed
           the following:
           (1) The statement, "For the purpose of this procedure, final
                  acceptance shall be that time when the item is presented to
                  QC for acceptance." Has limited application. Although the
                  establishment of this point for acceptance inspection is
                  appropriate for activities such as preplacement inspection for
                  concrete, it is not adaptable to activities such as electrical
                  cable pulling.
           (2) The section should be tailored to fit inspection of ongoing
                  work such as concrete placement, cable pulling, welding, etc.
           Appendix STP-QAP-2.6-2, " Instructions for Originator" should address
           action on " invalid" NCRs as determined by the supervisor. As pointed
           out by the licensee, a statement should be included to the extent
           that if an NCR is not valid, as determined by the supervisor, it is
           returned to the originating QC inspector. Also, the reason for the
           disposition should be included on the NCR.
           The FREA program, including trending was discussed with B&R
           engineering personnel on March 5, 1980. The IE inspectors were
           informed that 100% re-review of approximately 6000 FREA's has been
           initiated to determine how FREA's have been used; if there was
           a change in design without describing how or why; or if the change
           caused by the FREA is properly documented.
           The group explained that coding of FREA's is to be complete by
           April 1, 1980. The first trending report is to be complete by
           April 15, 1980 with subsequent issue of a quarterly report. Backfit
           of design will be cocplete by July 1,1980.             (A completion date
           for civil / structural design backfit will be established pending
           review of data on July 1, 1980).
           It was pointed out by a Brown and Root representative that there
           is no onsite approval of FREA's. The General Construction Procedure
           GCP-21, " Field Requests for Engineering Action" will be revised by
           April 25, 1980.

          The IE inspectors determined, by review of records and discussions
          with the QA and Construction Training Coordinators, that three
          sessions for retraining of personnel in TREA and NCR procedures
          were held on January 11, 1980. The three sessions included (1)
          Civil / Procurement; (2) Mechanical / Electrical; and (3) Subcontract /
          Administration. Clerks and C00P's were not required to attend.
          A makeup retraining session was held January 14, 1980. Any personnel

,

          missing these two sessions were to be retrained by March 6, 1980.
          IE will require further review of the outstanding issues in this
          action item, ccnsequently, this item remains open.
       c. Action Item No. 3
          Resolution of Disputes Between Construction and QA/QC Personnel
          Brown and Root issued a written policy statement which outlines
          specific steps to be taken when disagreements between personnel arise.
          This procedure, STP-PGM-02, Revision No. O, January 7, 1980, " Pro-
          cedure for resolving disputes between construction and QA/QC Person ~nel"
          was reviewed by the IE inspectors. The procedure which defines the
          method for resolving disputes between construction and QA/QC Personnel
          was reviewed by the IE inspectors and noted that it defines an accept-
          able method for resolving disputes between construction and QC personnel.
          The inspectors have no further questions at this time regarding
          this action item.
       d. Action Item No. 4
          Qualifications of Brown and Root QA and QC Personnel
          The IE inspectors reviewed with representatives from HL&P and
          B&R the status of this action item.                         ,
                                                                      .
          Level III inspectors have reviewed the bases by which QC personnel
          are qualified and the inspector's applicable work experience was
          reviewed in the light of his certification during the period
          when be was doing work.     It was determined by record review that
          none of approximately 150 inspectors were unqualified, but five
          did not have verification as to dates, etc. These five have
          been placed on limited work until confirmatory data is received.
          To verify information contained in qualification records, telephone
          calls have been made to previous employers and schools. When the
          c=plcyers and schcols would r.ct furr.ish confirmatcry data, a letter
          of release, signed by the B&R employee, was sent to the employer
          aad/or school. An arbitrary date of April 15, 1980 has been set for
          receipt of this material before further action is planned. At the
                                          6

     time of the IE inspection, approximately 40 personnel still required
     verification. Brown and Root representatives stated that the verifi-
     cation of previous employment and education is complicated by businesses
     and schools which no longer exist or some employees have been educated
     in foreign schools.
     Actions identified for this action item have been implemented. The
     IE inspectors have no further questions at this time.
           e.   Action Item No. 5
                Procedure Implementation in Regard to Concrete Pre-Planning
                and Placement Activities
                To assess implementation of procedures, the IE inspectors observed
                 activities related to placement of concrete in slab MEl-S206A and
                S052 in the Unit 1 Mechanical / Electrical Auxiliary Building which
                 occurred on March 13, 1980. Activities observed included pre-
                placement preparations and depositing, consolidation and finishing
                 of concrete.
                 It was noted the HL&P personnel were performing surveillance as well
                 as the B&R QC inspector who was inspecting placement activities.
                 It was observed that a concrete pump discharge line failed during
                 the placement; however, the line was repaired and returned to
                 service without any apparent adverse effect on the quality of the
                 concrete that was placed. Concrete placement continued by means
                 of buckets during the pump outage.
                 The IE inspectors also reviewed the results of tests of concrete
                 samples taken at the truck discharge point. The test results
                 appeared to meet acceptance criteria for slump and air content
                 specified on the test records.
                 Concrete curing was inspected on March 14, 1980.          J
                 Although no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified
                 during this activity, the placement was not considered large enough
                  nor complex enough to provide a good determination of the thorough-
                  ness of procedural implementation.
                  The IE inspectors discussed with responsible KL&P and B&R personnel
                  preplacement inspection activities in regard to the in process
                  inspection " punch list." It was explained to the IE inspectors
                  that the list contains ite=s to be corrected or evaluated and accept-
                  as-is at Four Card sign-off. When all items have been signed eff, the
                  " punch-lis*" is si ned
                                       F   by the QC inspector to verify the above, and
                  attached to the Pour Card. The " punch list" is originated by the
                  Construction Engineer and the maintenance of it through the construc-
                  tion and preplacement activity is his responsibility. There is no
                  mechanism to preclude entering on the list such items as may require
                  an NCR or a FREA other than the Engineer's review of the list.

  *           The licensee and construction personnel stated that Quality
              Construction Procedure A040KCCP-3, "Prepour Activities" would
              be revised to include a requirement for check for completion and
               sign-off of the " punch list" by the QC inspector and to make the
              " punch list" a part of the Pour Card package.
                                                                                 .
              Further discussion revealed that the " punch list" may contain
               safety-related items and consequently is an activity affecting
               quality. Consequently, the procedure for the " punch list" should
              be formalized to comply with Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50.
              This item will remain unresolved pending incorporation of the
               " punch list" activity into a procedure.
               This action item remains open.

               Provision of Method for Judging When Reinspection of a Concrete
               Placement is Necessary
               Brown and Root Quality Construction Procedure A040KCCP-3 "Prepour
               Activities," was revised to include reinspection criteria by Interim
               Change Notice No. 1, dated January 7, 1980. The Interim Change
             ' Notice requires that, should undue delays occur after the concrete
               pour card signoff, QC shall consider climatic conditions, personnel
               traffic in the pour area, and work activities that may affect the
               pour area.    QC will then reinspect for cleanliness of the pour,
               excess water (if applicable), and alteration caused by personnel
               traffic (if applicable). Results of reinspection will be documented
               on the applicable QC inspection report.
               Training records indicated that Brown and Root QA/QC and construction
               personnel attended training sessions relative to CCP-3 in
               January 1980.
               The IE inspectors had no further questions concerning this matter.

              Assessment of the Brown and Root Organization to Determine Cause    '
              of Perceived Harassment or Undue Pressure on QC Personnel
              A management assessment to determine the cause of the perception of
              harassment or undue pressure on site QC personnel was completed by
              Brown and Root in January 1980. The management assessment concluded

l

               that the perception of harassment of QC could have existed in the

l past because of instances of confrontation between construction and QC.

              Brown and Root engaged the services of an independent censultant

                           (See Item c of this section of the report).
                     (4) Refresher training, meetings and seminars to strengthen
                           the role and understanding of QA/QC.
                     (5) Improved coc=unication by QA/QC management.

           3.  Meeting with Licensee Representatives
               A meeting with licensee representatives (denoted in paragraph.1) was held
               in Houston March 11, 1980 by the Region IV Chief of the Reactor
               Construction and Engineering Support Branch and me=bers of his staff.
               Matters discussed pertained to RRI functions including the licensee /NRC
               interface, reporting of 50.55(e) items, reporting of significant
               events, correspondence with the NRC, the need for periodic licensee /
               RRI meetings, and improvement of co=sunications between the licensee
               and the NRC.
               Regarding communications, the senior licensee representative expressed
               concern that an apparent coc=unications problem had developed between
               the licensee and Region IV.       He stated that he wished to reaffir= the
               policy of open communications between the licensee and the NRC.
               The senior Region IV representative also expressed concern that a
              ' communications problem had developed between the licensee and the RRI.
               He stated that the RRI is the prime Region IV contact for all site related
               matters and discussed methods of i= proving licensee /RRI ce==ucications.
               Reporting of 50.55(e) items was discussed. The Senior Region IV
               representative stated that construction deficiencies must be
               promptly reported to the RR1 within the twenty-four hour period af ter the
               deficiency is found.     Initial reporting may be by telephone. If the
               deficiency is later determined to be not reportable, Region IV should
               be notified by letter of that deter =ination.      If the deficiency is
               determined to be reportable, a written report is required thirty days

, ' i from the date of prompt notification. If insuf ficient information is

               available for a final report at thirty days, an interim report stating

. t the status of the matter cust be submitted to Region IV. The interi= t i

   *          or, if the final report date is unknown, subsequent interim reports should
 -            be cubmitted at thirty day intervals until a final report date is
              established.      The licensee was encouraged to discuss reportability of
              deficiencies with the RRl. A handout, summarizing the reportability
              requirements of 50.55(e), was provided to the senior licensee representa-
              tive.                                                                         (
              The senior Region IV representative also discussed reporting of
              incidents, accidents, unusual occurences, and other items of interest
              occurring at or related to activities licensed by the NRC. For
              plants under construction the following avents should be reported to
              the NRC.
                     Serious natural occurrences and their effects.
                     Serious fires or explosions.
                     Significant environmental events.
                     Actual or threatened sabotage - malicious mischief, bomb
                     threats.
                     Demonstrations resulting in arrests or violence.
                     Lost or stolen licensed material.
                     Strikes which result in violence, damage or delay in the
                     critical path of core than one month.
                     Deficiencies in design or construction which have the potential
                     for delay in the critical path for more than one month.
                     An event which results in a fatality or a serious injury.
                     Events in which news media interest exists or is expected.
                     Other events of similar importance to those identified.
               The licensee was requested to report such ite=s to the RRI. In the
               event the RRI is not available due to absence from the STP site
               the license was requested to report the above events and 50.55(e)
               deficiencies directly to the Region IV office.
           4.  Unresolved Items
               Unresolved items are matters about which = ore infor=ation is required
               in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of
               noncompliance, or deviations. An unresolved ite disclcsed during the
               inspection is discussed in paragraph 2.e.

                  .:
    Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on April 8-11, 1980, it
    appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance
    with the conditions of your NRC Construction Permit CPPR-129 as indicated below:
          Failure to Follow Procedure for Storage of Material
          10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting
          quality shall be performed in accordance with instructions, procedures or
          drawings.
          Brown & Root Quality Construction Procedure GCP-35, " Storage and Maintenance,"
          Revision 3, requires that protective covers and closures be intact.
          Contrary to the above:
          During inspection of equipment storage on April 8, 1980, the IE inspector
          observed that a protective cover had been removed from a weld preparation
          on pipe penetration M-39 in the Unit 2 Reactor Containment Building (RCB)
          and a steel hook, used to support scaffolding on the exterior of the RCB,
          was in direct contact with the weld preparation.
          This is an infraction.

               (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-498/79-03; 50-499/79-03: Long Term Storage
               Requirements in NSSS Manual. The IE inspector observed that the " South
               Texas Project Recommended Storage Criteria," Revision 1, dated February 15,
               1980, addresses frequencies of inspections and defines inspection
               requirements.

I l This matter is considered resolved.

               (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-498/79-13; 50-499/79-13): Certification of
               Level II Cadweld Inspector.     The IE inspector observed that a memorandum,
               dated August 21, 1979, stated that the certification document for the Brown
               & Root $&D Cadweld inspector did not display the ccrrect amount of work
               experience necessary for Level II certification in that a time waiver was
               omitted from the certification form. The memorandum waived one year of
               the required work experience. A licensee representative stated that the
               responsible Corporate Level III was aware of the Cadweld inspector's lack
               of the required work experience, but had inadvertently failed to provide
               the waiver at the time of the initial certification. Waivers were
               permitted by the B&R certification requirements in effect when the
               Cadweld inspector was initially certified. Waivers are not permitted by
               the current revision of the Brown & Root training manual.
               This matter is considered resolved.

                 (Closed) Deviation (50-498/79-14-B; 50-499/79-14-B): Failure to Sign
 ,               or Date a Supplemental Entry on a QA Record. The supplemental entry on
                 the Examination Check Form documenting QC inspection of concrete placements
                 CSI-12A and CSI-13A, dated November 9, 1978, was signed and dated on
                 September 13, 1979, by the individual who made the supplemental entry.
                 The IE inspector observed that written instruction SQA-3303, " Construction /
                QA Documentation," dated January 30, 1980, addresses handling of corrections
                 and additions to construction and QA generated documents. Instruction of
                QA/QC personnel in the requirements of SQA-3303 has been accomplished and
                 documented.
                This matter is considered resolved.
                 (Closed) Infraction (50-498/79-14-A; 50-499/79-14-A): Failure to Follow
                Procedures for Release of Stop-Work Notice S-14. The IE inspector
                ascertained that the B&R site QA Manager has been informed by verbal and
                written communications of the need to follow procedural requirements
                 for the release of Stop-Work Notices. Discussions with licensee repre-
                sentatives indicate that the verbal release of Stop-Work Notice S-14 was
                an isolated occurrence. Individuals responsible for release of Stop-
                Work Notices displayed adequate knowledge of procedural requirements and
                stated that these requirements will be strictly followed.
                This matter is considered resolved.
                 (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-498/79-14; 50-499/79-14): Frequency of
                Inspections Required by B&R Procedure CCP-12.            The IE inspector observed
                that Interim Change Notice No. 1, dated March 7, 1980, has been issued
                which clarifies the scope and frequency of CCP-12 inspection requirements.
                The IE inspector also observed that HL&P issued a memorandum, dated
                February 11, 1980, which requested that B&R compare all existing B&R
                Quality Construction Procedure requirements contained in the bodies of
                the procedures against the requirements contained in the attached QA Plans
                and Schedules.
                This matter is considered resolved.
                (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-498/80-02; 50-499/80-02): Reinspection of
                Former QC Inspector's Work. The lE inspector reviewed the results of
                B&R QC reinspection of the work of a former QC coatings inspector who was
                terminated for falsification of personnel records. The reinspection
                indicated that the former coatings QC inspector's work was adequately
performed and documented.
                This matter is considered resolved.
           3.   Site Tour
The IE inspector walked through various areas of the site to observe
                construction activities and to inspect housekeeeping and storage of
                materials and equipment. During inspection of the Unit 2 Reactor

          . Containment Building (RCB), the IE inspector observed that a protective
  ,
            cover had been removed from a pipe penetration (M-39, Component Cooling
            Water) and a steel hook, used to support scaffolding on the exterior
            of the RCB, was in direct contact with the weld preparation on the end
            of the penetration inside the RCB.
                               ~
            This condition is in noncompliance with Brown & Root Procedure GCP-35,
            " Storage and Maintenance," Revision 3, which requires that protective
            covers be intact, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, which requires
            that procedures be followed.
       4.   Exit Interview
            The IE inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in paragraph 1)
            at the conclusion of the inspection on April 11, 1980. The IE inspector
            summarized the purpose and the scope of the inspection and the findings.

                         The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the status of Show Cause
                         Order items in regard to resumption of ASPE safety-related welding
                         activities on a regular production basis.
      .             b.   Status of Restart of Limited Welding
                         By letter, dated October 2,1980, Houston Lighting and Power Company
                         (HL&P) requested limited restart of AWS and ASME safety-related
                         welding and placement of complex concrete.
                         An IAL, dated October 3,1980, K. V. Seyfrit to G. W. Oprea, Jr. ,
                         established that AWS welding in regard to re-examination, repair,

i

                         and limited restart was allowable, but restart of ASPE welding and

i placement of complex concrete were not allowed due to incomplete

                         corrective action.
                         On November 19, 1980, HL&P updated their October 2 letter to the
                         NRC and requested limited restart of ASPE safety-related welding

, l in accordance with a scheduled plan. By IAL, dated November 21, l

                     -   1980, K. V. Seyfrit to G. W. Oorea, Jr. , limited restart of Ast1E

f ' safety-related welding was allowed.

                    On January 5,1981, an IAL, K. V. Seyfrit to G. W. Oprea, Jr. ,
                    allowed expansion of ASME safety-related welding in accordance
                    with a 10 Week Work Plan.
                    By letter of March 13, 1981, G. W. Oprea, Jr. to K. V. Seyfrit.
                    HL&P requested resumption of ASME safety-related welding on a
                    production basis.
                 c. Discussion
                    A meeting of HL&P with the Region IV staff was held on March 23,
                    1981, to discuss the status of implementation of corrective action
                    in regard to Show Cause Order items with respect to resumption of
                    ASME safety-related welding on a production basis.
                    During the discussion, it was d:termined that corrective action
                    had not been adequate with regard to the cuality assurance aspects
                    required for resumption of ASME welding on a production basis.
                    Consequently, the RIV Director pointed out that implementation of
                    Show Cause Order item corrective action was not complete and ASME
                    welding on a production basis should not commence. The status of
                    corrective action did not, however, appear to be so incomplete as
                    to preclude extension of limited ASME welding.
                    The Region IV Director re-emphasized the need "or the licensee and
                    his contractor to thoroughly examine and complete corrective action
                    in areas of the STP Quality Assurance program so as to fulfill
                    commitments to the Show Cause Order.
                    The licensee attendees acknowledged the eroblem areas outlined and
                    agreed to concentrate their effort in these areas to complete
                    adecuate implementation.
                                                                               :

                   The NRC, Region IV Office, was informed by telephone of specific
           allegations pertaining to the B6R Civil QC effort at the South Texas
           Project. On July 25-28, 1978, the NRC performed an investigation of the
           allegations. The NRC found no items of noncompliance and discussed one
           area of concern with Mr. Viaclovsky and myself on July 28, 1978.- The
           concern will be discussed later in this summary. n e NRC interviewed a
           number of B6R personnel during the investigation.

                        personnel are not available when needed.
                   7.   Construction Engineering is not doing their job.
                   As mentioned earlier, the NRC found no items of noncompliance as a
           result of the investigation of the above alleged conditions. The one con-
           cern they pointed out involves Criterion 1 of 10CFR50, Appendix B. They
           are of the opinion that QC personnel are performing functions during in-
           process inspection that are the responsibility of Construction Engineering.
           QC personnel later perform the final acceptance inspection after they were
           involved in the in-process effort. They feel that QC is not as independent
           as it should be.      It was the NRC's opinion that QC is not performing over
           and above their responsibilities, but Construction Engineering may not be
           doing enough regarding the prime responsibility of building this plant in
           accordance with the drawings, specifications, etc.          It is my contention
           that B6R QC is performing it's function adequately.                                               ,
