Dear Mr. Cahill:

This refers to the NRC team inspection of the Post-Construction

Hardware Validation Program (PCHVP) conducted by the NRC's Office

of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and the' Comanche Peak Project

Division, Mr. D. P. Norkin and NRC consultants, during the period

April-10 through April 21, 1989, of activities authorized by NRC

Construction Permits CPPR-126 and CPPR-127 for the Comanche Peak:

Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, and to'the discussion r,f our

findings with Mr. H. D. Bruner and other members of your staff at

the conclusion of the inspection.

The enclosed copy of our' inspection report identifies areas

examined during the inspection and areas of PCHVP'which were

j

inspected by the NRC prior to that date.

This inspection addressed

the actual' physical validations performed under the PCHVP.

NRC

Inspection Report 50-445/89-14; 50-446/89-14 covered TU Electric's

decisions regarding use of Comanche Peak Response Team (CPRT)

results and technical dispositions as the basis for not performing

physical validations.

In. summary, the NRC inspection team found that the physical

validation portion of the PCHVP has'been implemented in an

acceptable manner.

Reinspection scopes were consistent with CPRT

recommendations.

Acceptance criteria were traceable to design

documents and had adequate design bases.

Independent NRC

inspections generally confirmed PCHVP inspection data.

Technical

dispositions provided adequate technical bases for not physically

validating portions of attribute populations.

Discrepancies

identified by reinspection were appropriately handled by NCRs.

Finally, the NRC jnspection team found that appropriate decisions

were made regarding the choice of engineering walkdowns or Quality

. Control-inspections for PCHVP field verifications and that

'.

' personnel were properly qualified and trained relative to the

specific field verification methods.
