SUBJECT:

ACCELERATED QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTION - SOUTH TEXAS CONSTRUCTION SITE l ~ the Mid Term Quality Assurance Inspection As we agreed on June 15, 1979, for the South Texas Construction Site will be performed within the next several weeks 'to be completed within 30 days from this date. We also agreed that the inspection will be performed by the presently assigned Principal Inspector, the Resident Inspector who will soon be assigned l and a Headquarters representative (possibly a PAT member). The inspection is to be particularly oriented toward assessment of quality assurance program imolementation effectiveness. Attention should be directed toward the quality assurance program implementation, whether r the quality assurance staff has sufficient independence and freedom, whether there are any irregularites in record keeping, whether finished l work meets requirements, whether welders and other craftsmen are properly qualified, whether work in progress meets requirements. The above is not meant to restrict the activities of the inspection team. I The intent of performing this inspection is to provide a basis for de-termining whether the sum of the allegations that have been made regarding effectiveness of the quality assurance program at the site has substance. If substance is found, appropriate action should be taken. cn -/. n d u Haro Thornburg, Directo r DivisionofReactorConstruction Inspection, IE l cc: V. Stello J. G.

Al dough the holder stamped the procedure " void" i: the presence cf de II-1:spector, the failure to keno the QA =acual curre: as so.ecified 1: QAP-2.2 is a deficie:cy. The II inspector also observed da: ST-QA-2.3, "Docu=entation Ad=i - istratice," paragraph 5.3.1 shows exa:ples of stamps to be used c: decu ecta-ica.

Dear M. Seidle:

Tne fellowing are Houston Lighting 5 Poyer Company's (HLSF) respense to the items of none'cepliance identified in IE Inspection Repor: Numbers 50-498/79-13 and 50-499/79-13 dated October 5, 1979. A.

In the case of -he Scu h Texas F rc.' e c t, cur Code and Addenda as s a:ed in the Final Safe y .a'ysis Report (F5AR) is the 1971 Edi.icn of th'e Code -i:h the Winter 1973 Addenca. .ne Manual is currently being revised to make the in en: of this re-c,uiremen:.:re precise. 1.

-transmittal and acknowledgment letter used to transmit a manual supplement, and the manual supplement, describe to the manual holder how the supplement is to be integrated into the manual after receipt. 2. Criterion V of 10CFR50, Appendix B, requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with written instructions, procedures or drawings. PDM accomplished this require:cnt, as applied to auditor qualifications, by compliance to specific procedures written for this purpose. These procedures are maintained by the PDM Division QA Manager and are available for ir. formation upon request. It is not a requirement that this informa-tion be stated in the QA. Manual and it is POM's pre-ference to maintain separate procedures for audi:or qualification requirements. 3. QA Manuals r.urber 67 and 150 have had the additienal documents removed. Manuals number 132 and 177, which were deficien:, have been reviewed and are up-to-date. The manual holders for =anuals. number 132 and 177 had received the transmi: als, however, had failed to update their manuals. Recurrence Control [ The PCM Corporate QA Manual is currently being revised to l clarify the intent of the requirement for a serian ual re'. i ew. This manual has been submitted :: 3rewn i Rco: f:r appr: val. S. Failure to Follow Procedures for Ccnduc of POM Site a di:s u l f I Correc:ive a ti:n c l 1. F M cc renced with operation in August of 1976. FDM conducted two mini audits over specific sections of l

he Manual in 1976.

They were 76-:0S on 9/16/76 and 75-:1 en 11/11/76. In January of 19-, audi: 77-201 was c:nducted. .n s was a rull audi: Of all sections of the Manual applicable to site operations at the t i'me. In April of 1977, audit 77-20 was conducted. l t i l

r9 O %. ., mU 60 /.eton 14 tins & ber Comp 3"I 5 Mr. Seidle November.2, 1979 Page Three This was also a full audit of applicable sections of the Manual. In May of 1977, audit 77-203 was conducted. Again, a full audit of applicable sec-tions was performed. All of these audits were per-formed within 10 months of commencement of work at the South Texas Project Site by PDM. Section 13.0 of the PDM QA Manual requiring annual audits has been fulfilled. 2. In that the PDM QA Manual is a Corporate Manual, all documentation is not maintained at the South Texas Project Site, however, copies of the men-tiened corrective action statements signed by QA Management have been sent to the South Texas Site and are available for review. 3. a. The audi: results are maintained at the Corpor' ate headquarters, heuever, copies of these results showing they have been reviewed by responsible managemen: have been sent to the Site and are available for review. b. Per QA Manual, paragraph 13.S, "The Division QA Manager shall initiate re-audits as required to assure correction of deficiencies". The re-sults shall be reported to the Division Chief Engineer. Audit 77-202 was case of such audit, being deemed as required by the Division QA Manager, and with results reported at the Divi-sion Sngineer. In the cases of c:her audits, the Division QA Manager has no: deemed re-audits as necessary. This is in corpliance with Section 13.0 of the QA Manual. c. Since 1977, PDM Drawing Con:r:1 has been a recurring deficiency as noted in,several audi s. This problem was caused because cf difficul:ies in coordinating the PCM Drawing Con:r:1 System with the Brown 6 Root Drawing Control System. Another deficiency of similar nature identified in 197S led to both groups using the Ercur. 5 Roo: system and classifying the PDM system as " info rmation only". Another drawing control deficiency as noted in audi: 79-203 was in errof'and is apparent after reading the.Audi: Deficiency Report.

r a3 64' y g , % gen @tg & he Compary Mr. Seidle November 2, 1979 Page Four Re~currence Control PDM is following Section 13.0, Audits, of their Manual therefore no recurrence control is required. C. Failure to Delineate Organi:stional Change in PDM QA Manual Corrective Action The new Manual has been submitted to Brown G Root for approval on November 1, 1979, which will correct the noted deficiency in the organi:ation chart. Recurrence Control This crgani:ational change was made approximately two weeks prior to the NRC Audit and their Manual had not been revised to reflect this change. A major rewrite of their Manual was to be made in the near fu:ure and they had held back waiting for the new revision to make the necessary changes. FDM has been reminded to be more timely in the future when changes to their Manual are necessary. D. Failure to Maintain Compieted Audit Checklists in Audit Files Corrective Action As noted in U.S. ';uclear Regulatory Co==ission Inspe:: ion and Enf:rcement Manual: l A deficiency is an item of noncompliance in which the threat to the health, safety, or interest of the public or the co cen defense and security is rero:e; and no undue.expendi-j ture of time or rescurces to implemen: ccrree-

i*.e a:: ion is required; and deficiencies in-ciude such items as noncompliance with records, pcs ing, or labeling requirements which are no:

l seri:us enough to a:cun: o infrac:icns. A1: hough :here was no "X" placed in the sa:isfactory co.uc, cf the checklist, the "Ccements" column showed the require-ments on the checklis: were audited and the, activity was acceptable.

'"c o sa 60 Mr. Seidle November'2, 1979 Page Five ' Recurrence Control Personnel have been reminded to include a copy of the completed audit checklists in the specific audit folders. E. Failure to Destroy or Stame a Deleted Procedure Corrective Action The holder of the Brown 6 Root, South Texas Procedures Manual (ST-QAP) number 29, had chosen to retain a de-leted procedure, number ST-QAP-S.12, as a personal reference document. This was permissible by ST-QAP-2.2 providing the holder stamps the precedure as " VOID" or " SUPERSEDED". The manual holder had inadvertently failed to stamp the procedure as required by ST-QAP-2.2. Recurrence Control This is considered as an isclated oversight and precedure number ST-QAP-5.12 has been removed from manual number 19 and destroyed. Very truly yours, em .4 E. A.

Turner, Vice President Power Plant Construction and Technical Services Post Office Box 1700 Houston, Texas 77001 Gentlemen: Thank you for your letter of November 2,1979, in response to our letter dated October 5, 1979, and the attached Notice of Violation. Your response did not adequately address all of the items of noncompliance cited in the Notice of Violation, therefore, the Resident Reactor Inspector (RKI) re-During quested a meeting with = embers of your staff to discuss the response. this meeting, held on Dece=ber 10, 1979, your staff furnished additional infor-mation which was not available to the RRI during the inspection of August 6-10, 1979. Your response and the additional infor=ation furnished to the RRI were reviewed. As a result of our review, we have deter =ined that your responses to itens A.1, A.2, 3.1 and B.3 were inadequate as follows: Item A.l. QA Manual Supple =ents Your response to item A.1 failed to address the finding that Section 12.0, " Manual Revision and Distribution," did not describe require =ents to integrate supplements into the Pittsburg-Des Moines (PDM) Corporate Tield QA Manual. Item A.2, Auditor Qualification Your response to item A.2 failed to identify the specific auditor qualifi-cation require =ents that are maintained by the PDM Division QA Manager. It should be pointed out that, during the inspection, neither licensee personnel nor the PDM QA Manager provided specific infor=ation to the II inspector concerning PDM QA Manual requirements related to auditor quali-fication.

1:ed as a deficiency (severi:y level 3) ra:her than as an infraction (severi:y

• tvel 2) which is indicated in MC 535, Section I guidelines for this type of an::=pliance.

L. E. Fos:er, RII, who iden:ified this 1:e= of nonce:pliance, feels s:rengly tha: it sheuld be classified as severity level 3 rather than severity level 2. His reasons given are that it was an isolated occurrence; the =anual in which the ncnch=pliance was found belonged to the 56R Assis: ant QA Manager who =aintains history copies of superseded procedures and was aware of the sta:us of :he procedure; and the QA =anual in question was not likely to be used by individuals who did ac: knew that the precedure had been dele:ed. &A;Nbu$ W.

Se=a of the ite=s (1100 anchor bolts, surveying error, lif t 8 voids) were repor:ed to RIV as construe:ica deficiencies by the licensee an investigative effort beyced our no:=al follow up of 'f and being monitored by the RIV staff. None of the sixteen and are still ope: ite=s appear to = erit constructics deficie:cies and 1:e=s of nonce =pliance. The only appare:: significant i=fer ation ec=:ained in the article that was not taken frc NRC 1: spec:1cn reports is a stacame:: that, "The overriding i=spection preble= at SINP, according to SWAYZE and a senior Brown & Root engineer s:111 a= ployed at the plant, is a safety syste= that e=phasizes for= cver substance. They caintain that the pri=ary purpose of the vol d cus docu=e::atio: of cens:ruction and inspeccios processes is to fullfil the paper-work require =es:s fer EL&P's operati=g license application new pending before the NRC. But, he and Swayze say, making sure all the blacks are filled is does no: =ecessari'.y guarantee that the plant vill be safe to operate and, 1= fact, =ay have the appesite effect." RIV has, during previous inspec:1ces and investiga:1ces, observed work and reviewed related records. So=e 1:e=s l of nonec=pliance rela:ed to records were identified but there has been no reason to believe that records have been generated =erely to have the blanks ( filled in without ce=pletion of the corresponding work activi:1es. cp. p.9LkL W.
