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
P. O. Box 12548
  '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

'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.

APPENDIX 8 HOTIcE OF DEVIATION Texas utilities Electric Company Dockets: 50-445/86-08 50-446/86-06 Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Permits: CPPR-126 Units 1,and 2 CPPR-127

' 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.
