Comment:  It never was an option concerning corrective action to be taken only the option to respond; i.e., 84-32/11 NOV page 3 requires cor r ec t i ve action taken and corrective steps to avoid further violatio Page 6 of the final report (86-08/06) that RIV and Hg. proposed to i ssue states that the B&R audit p r og r ane, a part of the licensee's audit program, was in viofat1on as a'udtt report CP-27 (1985) was a part of the noncoroplianc This proves that they cont inued in noncernpliance a f t er the 1984 violations in 84-22/1 TU did not respond until February 2, 1987 and it does not addr ess the de fic1 ent BbP audi t progra Cuestion a:  How does this justtfy continued nonc orop l i anc e for 21/2 years after the 84-32 violations were identi fi ed?

Contrary to the above, Audit Deficiency No.1 of TUGCo QA Audit TCP-51 l (September 1982) was ireproperly closed out. That is, the auditor did not j verify the implementation of commitments to correct the dcficiency prior l to closing the audit firding. Records show that in this case TUGCo had Initiated plans for resolving the audit deficiency over an extended period of time, and eventually resolved the audit deficiency through review of the operation travelers (445/8608-V-06; 446/8606-V-08).

    [3 d
Comment:  This basically states they failed to tak e corrective a: tio This is an under st at ement as ISAP VI!. states that they never intended t o t ake c ornpr ehensi ve c or r ec t i ve ac t io They only looked to see if TU went through the rnotions not to assess audit e f f ec t iveness which was the real issu Apparently they did not even see if B&R went through the rnotion In Sept ernber 1985 I spect fically asked C. Hal e, PIV Comanche Peak Task Group, to look at B&R audit prograrn because I had seen i ndi c at i ons o f pr obl eru He ignored the *eques He had no int ent ion of pursuing the issues in the MAC report and was well aware that TU made no comm1 t roent in the ISAP to addr ess the issue Questio'n  How does this . justify not issuing violations whether in 86-08/06 or frorn the RIV CPTG r epor t ? "Criterion XVI of appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as irnplernent ed by FSAR, Section 17.O, and TUGCo OAP, Section 16.O, Revi sion 0,        dated July 1,  1978, requires that conditions adverse to quality be promptly identi fi  ed, reported, and cor rec t e Ee Liutt_t9_V itt x_G9ttestL90_91_ou_eudti_Deitsttuix f

Cornmen t : This violation was identi fied by a junior inspector who submitted the viol ation to me without proper proc edural references and being in the correct forma at in the proper format as he hadI left obtained site. the re f erences and wrote The point is that this finding sailed through and was never qwestioned but ray violations which identify fatture to take corrective vi ol at i onaction and per forrn in compartson to theaudits h' ave been taken to tas This CA prograne breakdowns is  f ailure to tak e corrective action on vi ol at ion and raine were dropped.insigni fi c ant ,, yet , this is an acceptable p r e judic e is eviden This is not only incredible but the C estion: How can you propose  that this c-opping two serious violations?  violation be issued whtle Appendis C of 10CFR Part 2 states that the purpose of the NFC e f orc ernent program is to promote and protect the health and safety of the public obtaining by ensuring prornpt cornpliance correction of with NRC r egulations and by violations and adverse quality conditions which ar n af f ect safety and deterring future violation Cc rntnent :
This seetion of Tit 1e 10 says that +ach en f orc ement action ts dependent on th'e' circumstances but no wher+ does it say that NRC rn a n a g e r s , supervisors, and inspectors can arbitraryily decide not to write up noncompliancec and notices of violattans. The only justi fic at s on is if all the following are sattsifled the licensee 1 d errt i f i ed the problem, it is severity Ievel IV and V, it was r+ ported tf required, at was or vi11 be corrected...within a r+asonable ttrne, and it was not a violation that could reasonably be espected to have for a previous violatio been prevented by the l i c ensee's cor.r ec t i ve ac t i on I cannot 3.e e t any of these conditions rouch less see al how the violations ! proposed Question:

  ' Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during April 1 through

May 31 1986 one deviation from your commitments was identified. The deviation con,sisted of failure to establish proper criteria for supplemental audits of site activities. In accordance with the " General Statement of Polic and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), y the deviation is listed below:
FSAR, Section.17.1.2 commits to the establishment of an audit p  ran in accordance with AmerIcan National Standard Institute (ANSI)

In deviation from the above: ,   , TUGCo audit Procedure DQP-QA-35, Revision 0, left out the following supplemental audit criteria of paragraph 3.4.3 of the ANSI N45.2.1 Paragraph 3.4.3.1 requires assessment of contractor's QA progran prior to contract award, and . Paragraph 3.4.3.5 requires assessment of item quflity or program effectiveness, when required (445/8608-D-04; 446/8605-D-04).

Senior' Resident Inspector Comanche Peak construction SUBJECTS . Review Of Inspection Rep' orts Price to the March.4, 1986 exit with TUGCO I found one cri sp violation concerning . Brown & Root's f ailure to audit their QA program in 1980 and 1982. I advised Tom Westerman that I considered it a violation and, I ocked if he agreed. He replied that it was not and wanted it written
    ,
'co an unresolved item. Subsequently, you took his place and I asked y u what to do about.it and you said that you considered it a violation. Further, you asked me to additionally review the other "
    ,
cudit years and I understood this to mean a comprehensive review and write a detailed report. I was unable * 4o complete the review in March Beccuse, as I reported to you, the complete files were in 'the B&R Houston of fice. The review.was finally completed in April and I wrote o Gotailed Notice of Violation which I intended to present at the oxit. I gave it to you for your review and subsequently presented it
0 -i    Are you aware of brown & Root having hired MAC 4  their to pertorm any re, views or audit of implementation of
,ct the exit. I submitted the typed draft report dated June 30, 198 v,On Ccptember 2, 1986 George Gower came to site and went,o.ver the
'trcpert and. asked me to drop two failure to.take correct:ive action violations, as Clif Hale would take care of these areas. He then gave no directions to write one big violation against Criterion XVIII-Audi t s. I revised the report per directions and was very surprised when I received extensive comments on it in an October 22, 1986 Goeting with George Gowe Frca late May to October 22, I was unaware' of any comments that you mado. Until October 15, 1986 when you discussed this report in general torGo, I thought you approved of the comprehensive review and draf t ropert. In fact, I performed and documented Inspection 86-20/17 in cin11ar fashion. After learning of the comments, George arid I revised Repert 86-08/06. I called you Octcoor 24 and requested you to hold Reptet 86-20/17, as 2 intend to r evi ew i t in light of the comments recoi.ved and revise it.

' Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during April 1 through

.

May 31 1986 one deviation from your commitments was identified. The deviation con,sisted of failure to establish proper criteria for supplemental audits of site activities. In accordance with the " General Statement of Polic and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), y the deviation is listed below:

FSAR, Section.17.1.2 commits to the establishment of an audit p ran in accordance with AmerIcan National Standard Institute (ANSI)

Draft 3.0, Revision 0. Paragraph 3.4.3 of this standard describes criteria N4 as to when supplemental audits are performe '

!

.

In deviation from the above: , , TUGCo audit Procedure DQP-QA-35, Revision 0, left out the following supplemental audit criteria of paragraph 3.4.3 of the ANSI N45.2.1 Paragraph 3.4.3.1 requires assessment of contractor's QA progran prior to contract award, and . Paragraph 3.4.3.5 requires assessment of item quflity or program effectiveness, when required (445/8608-D-04; 446/8605-D-04).

^ B&R audit Procedure CP-QAP-19.1, dated October 10, 1984, does not agree with TUGCo Procedure DQP-QA-15 or ANSI N45.2.12 because C'A changed the l coenitment for supplacental audit criteria from "are performed" to "may be l performed" (445/8608-D-05, 445/8006-0-05). l Texas utilities Electric Company is hereby requested to subeit to this office, within 30 days of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each deviation: (1) the reason for the deviation if adattted, (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the resuits achieved, (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further i

MEMORANDUM: Jan Barnes,: Chief I Comanche Peak Task Group

'FROM: H. S. Phillips, j

Senior' Resident Inspector Comanche Peak construction SUBJECTS . Review Of Inspection Rep' orts Price to the March.4, 1986 exit with TUGCO I found one cri sp violation concerning . Brown & Root's f ailure to audit their QA program in 1980 and 1982. I advised Tom Westerman that I considered it a violation and, I ocked if he agreed. He replied that it was not and wanted it written

'co an unresolved item. Subsequently, you took his place and I asked y u what to do about.it and you said that you considered it a violation. Further, you asked me to additionally review the other "

cudit years and I understood this to mean a comprehensive review and write a detailed report. I was unable * 4o complete the review in March Beccuse, as I reported to you, the complete files were in 'the B&R Houston of fice. The review.was finally completed in April and I wrote o Gotailed Notice of Violation which I intended to present at the oxit. I gave it to you for your review and subsequently presented it

,ct the exit. I submitted the typed draft report dated June 30, 198 v,On Ccptember 2, 1986 George Gower came to site and went,o.ver the

'trcpert and. asked me to drop two failure to.take correct:ive action violations, as Clif Hale would take care of these areas. He then gave no directions to write one big violation against Criterion XVIII-Audi t s. I revised the report per directions and was very surprised when I received extensive comments on it in an October 22, 1986 Goeting with George Gowe Frca late May to October 22, I was unaware' of any comments that you mado. Until October 15, 1986 when you discussed this report in general torGo, I thought you approved of the comprehensive review and draf t ropert. In fact, I performed and documented Inspection 86-20/17 in cin11ar fashion. After learning of the comments, George arid I revised Repert 86-08/06. I called you Octcoor 24 and requested you to hold Reptet 86-20/17, as 2 intend to r evi ew i t in light of the comments recoi.ved and revise it.
