I feel that we were severely handicapped in our inspection effort by cha absence of a written, definitive progreu by PC Z doccribing in sufficient "U~ .

In absence of a well documented overall program, we ettempted, through di cussions with hoy project personnel end revicu of li=ited documentation,

J..P. O'Reilly December 23, 1969 Much of the written material reisted to design activitics which.is described in the PSAR has not yet been developed. EcwcVer, PCC stated that this material will be included in the Quality Assurance Manual currently being written, t

In view of the lack of a formal, documented manual impicmenting the QA d'MM prograu described in the P3AR, it is recommended that the Diablo II quality assurance program be reinspected after the manual has been approved by PCC

. management.

In the interim, we will strongly urge PCE management to assign high priority to the task of documenting cicarly a program which will insure overall consistency 16 regard to the understanding and implementation of the quality

? assurance requirements for the Diablo Canyon project. In futuro cases it is suggested that the importanco of the Applicant's preparation of such a documented program be emphasized at as early a date as possible prior to our special QA inspection.

1.5, We note that the PG&E has applied for and been granted on exemption which dgG permits construction of that portion of the auxiliary building associated

].[f . with the Diablo Canyon, Unic No. 2 prior to issuance of a construction 4, .,;4 permit. The findings of the current inspection are applicabic to the design, "M; procurement and construction activitics currently in progress in regard to
