LICENSEE AUTHORIZED TO REDUCE 100% REINSPECTION PROGRAN A; of August 1,1982, the licensee has been authorized by Region III to reduce its 100 percent rainspection program of constructor and subcontractor Quality Control inspections. The Licsnsee was required to perform 100 percent reinspections in an Immediate Action Letter 5

(IAL) on April 8, 1981. The IAL was in response to numerous instances of QA/QC deficiencies at the Zi ener plant.

2 Tha licensee has asked that this 100 percent reinspection program be reduced. It bases its 1 rsquist on its revised quality assurance program and the revised QA programs of its constructor, Kaiser Engineering, and contractors. Region III is satisfied with the licensee's

> offerts thus far, and has approved the Licensee's request, allowing a reduction to 50 percent cf reinspections plus a surveillance program. The levels of inspection and surveillance wiLL be edjusted monthly, depending on findings. The constructor, Kaiser Engineering, and rubcontractors will continue their full inspection programs.

N2ws media interest is anticipated. Region III (Chicago) does not plan a press ' release at this time, but will respond to inquiries. The State of Ohio will be notified.

. This information is current as of 1 p.m. (CDT) on August 3, 1982.
