Item No. 3 of Chairman Zech's memorandum states:
3.
NRR should examine, in more detail, the inspection records for a facility within Region IV which did not receive as much attention from either NRC or utility conducted efforts
If the results of such review require, further staff reviews of other plants should be performed.

r ENCLOSURE ASSESSMENT PLAN NRC CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION PROGRAM PURPOSE To determine, for a selected plant in Region IV, whether the construction inspection program was adequately completed.
PLANT SELECTION The plant selected for this assessment should be one which has not been subjected to a substantial augmented inspection effort by NRC or a major corrective action program or verification program by the licensee.
In addi-tion, for a meaningful review and comparison of up-to-date construction inspec-tion program information, the plant should have been initially licensed within the past two to three years.
~
REVIEW GROUP ORGANIZATION Specific review group assignments should include the following:
1.
A team leader from NRR, preferably a supervisory-level individual who is experienced in the NRC construction inspection program from a regional perspective.
2.
A Region IV representative who is knowledgeable regarding the NRC construction inspection program at the selected site.
3.
Two additional team members, either NRC personnel or consultants, who are knowledgeable regarding the NRC construction inspection program.
BASIC PROGRAM INFORMATION Prior to beginning the detailed review of the NRC construction inspection program at the selected site, the review group should obtain copies of or access to the following information:
1.
766 System data for the selected plant, including inspection module status information, inspection hours expended per module, and violations cited.
j 2.
The inspection program completion status reports required by Inspection Procedure 94300.

The~ applicable Region'IV program plans and resource utilization reports.
8.
Access to all NRC inspection reports for_the selected plant, as required for verification sampling.
-ASSESSMENT OF INFORMATION The review group activities involved in assessment'of inspection program data for the selected plant and, in some cases, comparison of that information with data for_other plants, include the following:
(
1.
Comparison of the module completion status reported in the 766 System with the completion status shown in the IP 94300 reports and in regional files and data sources other than the 766 System.
2.
Comparison of inspection hours reported in the 766 System for specific construction inspection areas with inspection hours expended in each construction inspection area at other plants, both in Region IV'and in other regions.
a 3.
Verification, for a general sampling of inspection modules, that j
the effort described in the inspection reports supports the status i
reported for the inspection modules.
Special emphasis should be placed on areas where the reported inspection hours are low.
A plant-specific listing of the inspection criteria and attributes
~
i i
contained in the NRC construction inspection program modules would be j
used for this verification review.
4.
Comparison of assessment conclusions and SALP ratings for the
~
selected plant with applicable Region IV program plans, resource utilization reports, and actual inspection effort, to determine whether the construction inspection program adequately emphasized j
increased inspection of problem areas.
5.
Selection of a representative sample :from the Open Items List',
including examples of violations, unresolved items, bulletins, construction deficiency reports, and.Part 21 reports, and-verification, by review of inspection reports, that the selected i
open items were properly closed out.

2.
Two weeks at the regional office and the selected site for detailed review of reports and discussions with inspection personnel.
