Comp:uiy commitment documented in item 3.of Reference 5 A.lco, there has been an on-going joint effort by-Connumcro Power Compiny and Dechtel to reevaluate all Bechtel Quality Control Innt. ructions (QCIc) with'the

Ilowever, the QCI covering the inctallation of post-tencioning componente (C-9.00) had been reviced and received final approval on April 20, 1977, incorporating the corrective actions indicated in' Reference 14 In view of the above, Consumerc Power Company believes adequate and comprehensive.

corrective action has been taken and submits this as a final report in this matter.

A) Project Engineering's " Final P.eport" dated 5/13/77 and revised 6/17/77 ,

D) Dochtel Letter u/ attach =cnt to CPCo, BLC-4079, datec 5/10/77 The subject MCAR is. nou closed based on conclusions, per Reference A, that the original design criteria could be not by rerouting one sheathing from belou to above the penetration uith tinor alignment adjust =cnts to the sheathing directly above. Aligncent of the three sheathing directly below the penetration vill also be revised. An evaluation by II:RYC0 indicates that the friction losses in the affected tendons have been reduced due to this revised align =ent and the capability of the containment structure to resist forces has been improved. .

Strength losses due to cuts in the penetration gusset plates and the cut-offs of rebars, both necessitated by the rerouting of the tendon shcathings, have been fully replaced by the modifications discussed in Reference A.

Therefore, there is no adverse safety implication.

Corrective actions have bcon impicmented to preclude recurrence of misplaced tendon shcathing as indicated in Reference B. These include requirements for:

1. Survey notes to receive initials verifying position of cach individual sheathing.

2. Field Engitmering to take a copy of the sheathing drauf unn ulth them durinv. in:La11ation anu che h off each cheathing

3. -Quality Control to mark up a cheathing drawing during place-ment. checkout to verify correct configuration and number of shcathing.

Additionally, Quality Control and Construction Division Managers' discussions with all Bechtel field construction personnel vore conducted emphasizing the responsibilitics of construction quality control, fic1d engineering and super-vision at the Midland jobsite.

Ecchtel QC has cxceplified the policy of stressing inspection acceptance be made on the basis of evidence which c1carly demonstrates that the hardware is in exact agreccent with applicable drauings and ' specifications by revi-sions to QCIs.

Bechtel QC is kept current on schedule changes by arca Supervision and Field Engineering personnel as part of their norcal cottunications. Additionally, QC personnel attend daily scheduling ccctings uhcre changes to the published three ucek schedule ara discussed. The importance of this co=nunication flow is continually stressed to all concerned parties.
