1.0 CHARACTERIZATION OF ISSUES 1.1 Introduction There are thirteen concerns in the element Quality As surance (QA)

Independence and Authority.

These concerns were - grouped into the following two issues to aid the Quality Assurance Category Evaluation Group (QACEG) investigation at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN):

The QA organizational structure as it relates to the independence a.

4 of QA personnel.

b.

The lack of depth of QA audits.

1.2 Description of Issue x

1.2.1 The QA organizational structure as it relates to the "ndependence of QA personnel (IN-86-087-002, WBM-86-004-001, f

i PH-85-056-X02, WI-85-090-001, WI-85-086-001, WI-85-086-004, XX-85-118-001, XX-85-119-001, XX-85-113-001, WI-85-090-002, 49 WI-85-086-003 and IN-85-767-005).

The Employee Concerns relate to the organizational structure of the QA Department.

These concerns state that because the QA Site Staff reports functionally to plant management, this reporting relationship would lessen the effectiveness of QA as an independent reviewer.-

Also several Concerned Individuals j

i (Cis) criticized TVA's decision' to " Decentralize" the QA audit Branch since they considered ~ this condition would violate j

%g.

regulatory requirements and the TVA approved QA Program.

jj 1.2.2 The Inck of depth of QA Audits (XX-85-116-011).

This issue was stated by the CI that SQN Management complained to the Director of QA that audits were too indepth.

The CI

~

also stated that the Director - of QA issued a letter dated November 25, 1985 to the Auditors directing them to increase l5-the e number of audit areas - per ' audit.

The C1 assumed this directive would restrict the' auditors indepth approach into Y,

the activities of the audited organization.

\\

4 In February 19o4, the Power Operations - and the Engineering and

.ere merged into the newly formed Construction functions w

j organization called the Of fice of Power and Engineering.

Under the new organizational structure originating in 1984, TVA introduced the management philosophy of the Owner / Operator concept.

The Owner / Operator was to be fully responsible for 1

This the performance of those facilities which they operated.

concept delegated to.

.the operator the-authority, responsibility and accountability for regulatory complianc e, engineering

services, quality activities, operations-and costs.

Additionally, this concept was to establish a

" Decentralized" method of operations for each of TVA's nuclear plants. '

Furthermore, each nuclear plant would function autonomoysly by developing its own programs and systems to j

control plant activities.

These actions were TVA efforts to i

effectively interface various disciplines at each site to meet i

site-specific conditions.

~

The Topical' Report,i revision 8, was revised by TVA to define 1

the Owner / Operator concept, which included " Decentralization".

The Topical Report,, which is TVA's highest tier program jccepted by HRC in October 1984 as

document, was satisfactorily meeting the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR'50.

The< revised report established the position of ' the responsible. for the quality of work Site Directo,r who was activities at licensed nuclear plants.

' In' addition, this j

report established the position of the Operations QA Manager who maintsined a Plant QA Staff at operating plants to perform work functions relative to-quality engineering, quality control an( surve7/115nce activities.

The Supervisor of Plant QA Staff receivedi functional supervision from the Site Director, but teported administrative 1y to the Ope, rations QA s

TITLE:

5 Quality Assurance Independence and Authority PAGE 7 0F 10 QA Auditing functions for operating plants had not been fully

. implemented at that time.

The results of this investigation indicated the Operations QA Audit Group's plans to decentralize never did materialize.

The program to decentralize the audit group ended during the reorganization of the QA Department in early 1986.

A number of CIs expressed their concern that organizational structure relative to the independence of QA personnel was a

requirement violation.

The term " independence" as referenced in the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, i

Criterion I,

requires that persons and organizations

}

performing QA-functions shall have sufficient independence from cost and schedules as opposed to safety considerations.

The acceptance of TVA's Topical Report by the NRC. in October i

1984 as satisfactorily meeting the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 endorses.the approval of TVA's organizational

,b structure, including the intent of QA independence and organizational freedom.

f g

u j

Since early

1986, TVA has been involved with the-j g

reorganization of the Nuclear QA functions (as well as other 1

functions) under a single or central department.

The g

responsibility for all Nuclear QA functions in the Office of Nuclear Power, including Quality As surance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) activities relating to engineering, construction, and operations, has been consolidated under the-Director of Nuclear QA.

TVA has developed a standarized Nuclear QA Program described in the revised Topcial Report, revision 9, and also the revised NQAM which includes QA/QC activities relating to plants under construction and plants holding an a

f2 operating. license.

These programmatic measures eliminate the

" owner / operator" and " decentralization" conc ep ts. -

This will

,g allow TVA to attain a centralized responsibility for Nuclear QA/QC functions which will report to a high level' 'of management in accordance with a standard program.

The revised Topical Report has been submitted' to the NRC for their review and approval.

Final NRC approval of the Topical Report l

revision is still pending at the writing of this Element i

Repo'rt.

(

5.1.2 Conclusion i

Based on the above evidenc e, this issue is not. valid.

TVA's decision to decentralize the QA Department was part of an overall program to decentralize all activities including QA.

This plan was approved by TVA's Board of Directors and NRC in October 1984.

NRC approval of the TVA revised organizational structure also endorses the " independence" as described in Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, Criterion I.

5.2 Issue :

5.2.1

Background

In.this concern,.the CI states that the Director of QA issued a letter (November 25, 1985) to _ auditors to increase the number of audit areas per audit, which the CI felt would restrict the depth of audits.

Having reviewed the Correspondence Logs, RIMS and individuals ' personnel files, QACEG could not locate this letter.

Af ter a discussion with the former Director of QA we directed our attention to 1984 g

rather than 1985 since the subject of audit frequency, numbers of auditors on site, and organizations performing audits was a s

concern to Site Directors and managers in 1984.

We did locate an " ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL" memo from the Director of QA to Branch Managers dated October 24, 1984, which did address (among other topics) audits and comments P

made to the Director of QA by various site. and plant on his visits to WBN, SQN and Browns Ferry representatives (BFN) during the week of October 14, 1984.

This memo stated under

" Watts Bar" that

" twenty-four audits

.a year _ is-the plant and site staffs _ to be more than by considered They, would like _ to see this reduced by a factor of necessary.

Site and Plant-about 2."

Under the comments for "Sequoyah",

Managers made the comment that - " Auditors need-to be sure the 4

when they do or do not have a finding and, when possible, M

number of audit team members should be reduced."

h' On August 7,

1984, the Nuclear Central Office ' Industrial Engineering Section issued a report, " Audit and Inspection-Analysis",

regarding the frequency and duration of those

,j audits and inspections' conducted during' fiscal year ' 1983 at SQN and BFN.

The August 22, 1984 Memorandum from The Director and stated of QA to "Those Lis ted" ~ replied to that' analysis,'of the direction he had given to the Division

. Quality j,.

Assurance Audit Group Heads was to:

Be very sensitive to and dedicated to eliminating any 1

A.

unnecessary adverse impact.on audited organizations,'

Work closely. with the staff and management at' each B.

location in aggressively pursuing, planning and scheduling n

practices that will provide for both. an e f fective audit program and minimize unneessary adverse impact on the 6

- Quality Assurance Independence and Authority orgainzations.

The Director of QA went on to state that.the audit group was required by the Technical Specification (Tech Spec)-

requirements to perform a given number of audits (modules) and that he agreed ' that a smaller number of audits would lessen the impact at the. plants but could still - be accomplished-effectively.

"By November 30, 1984, we will have'a plan which reduces the number of times audit teams appear at a given location.

This'- will L be accomplished by combining standard audit modules into a given audit."

He further stated..."We will strive to, work more efficiently and : conduct fewer but

. comprehensive - audits.this year.. 'while-atill very more effectively addressing the ' scopes defined by our-audit modules."'

~An indepth review of Audit Status ' Logs (Sequoyah). for the-

?

Fiscal years 1983, 1984, and 1985 was made along with a' review of actual audits performed during those~ years, :(total. of 42

- audits). to determine length of time onsite, number i of audit modules addressed, depth of audits.and. number of audit personnel involved in each audit.

Contrary 'to the CI's-concern, we-found that the audit funetion w'as not restricted in Fiscal year 1985 (the period 'following' the direction to

. consolidate where possible).

Our review of the number of.-

audit modules' indicated they did not decrease, however, 'eight audits covered two or more modules, which was an improvement-over. 1983 and 1984 where only single audit'. modules were-performed.

This condition indicates. that the - required audit.-

areas in 1985 did not ! change;; however, the number of audits N

performed at SQN did decrease by three. audits.

We also found

~

3 in our review of the individual audits that depth of coverage and numbers of audit personnel were in no way reduced which-1 would restrict the depth, as the CI stated.

I,',

5.2.2 Conclusion Based on the above evidence, the employee concern is. not a

valid.

We can only. assume'~that.the CI' was incorrect in stating that the-Director of ~ QA issued a-le,tter dated G

November 25, 1985. and that he - is referring to.

'the'

" ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL"; memo dated n October 22,- 1984.

Based on. our investigation using : the ' ab'ove document as a '. basis to identify any impact that memo had on the audit function'and

~'

the actions taken, by the ' Quality Auditi Branch. to reduce the.
