Subject:

Construction of Wolf Creek Ultimate Heat Sink (Inspection Report 50-48?/79-09)

Dear Mr Seidle:

Pursuant to JRC Inspection Report No. 50-482/79-09 dated Jur'c 7, 1979 and Mr C Oberg's follow-up of September 19 and 20,1979, please find the following additional information submitted for your consideration.

1) All excavation and construction work associated with the Ultimate Heat Sink reservoir and dam is considered to be safety related.

2) The Dames and Moore Quality Assurance Program and Project Plan and Memoranda establish the parameters for control of blasting. These controls include provision for review and approval by Dames and Moore of blasting plans and blast measuring peak particle velocity at the nearest concrete structure. Additionally, since the issue of NRC Inspection Report 79-09, Dames and Moore has provided pre-blast surveillance. On June 25, 1979, Dames and Moore provided a professional evaluation as to the necessity of pre-blast monitoring. The results of this evaluation are documented in a letter dated June 25, 1979 (DMLK-355). It was concluded by Dames and Moore that pre-blast moni-toring by means of verification of shot loading is unnecessary.

3) Inspection Report 79-09 documented an item of noncompliane e relative to QC inspection of Uas site activities by Daniel. The attache letters CQLC-061 and QCM-413 z.re offetad for your review as clarifica-tion to this itam.

SUBJECT:

Supplier Qualification of Clarkson Construction Co.

P.O. 7153-SR-15030 (Sitework)

The additional condition stipulated in the subjract i purchase order that a procedure shotrtibe included in the P.O. for interface of Site Geotechnical En-gineer and the Contractor is not necessary. The interf ace between Site Geotechnical Engineer and -

, the Contractor is through Daniel Area Engineer, ,

and Quality Control. This interface has been es-

.tablished by a client approved Dames & Moore pro-cedure.. Therefore, this requirement is redundant, i

and the qualification of the Contractor to perform quality related work is unitr. paired despite the lack of such procedure in P.O. It is reco= ended that the additional condition imaosed on supplier quali-fica tion be deleted f ro:p QCM-08; and the deletion be made retroactive from the date of purchase order.

to Chris Phillips DATE: 9-20-79 i nom- D.L. Jones QCM-413 Sun JE C T . Clarkson Construction Co.

On May 10, 1976, QCM-08 was written to provide approval of Clarkson Construction Company to perform project carthwork activities.

This memo stated Clarkson's activities would be monitored using applicable O.C. Procedures, this statement was not exactly true in that some activities are monitored by other groups. Specifically, there are Environmental Procedures which are used by the Environmental Coordinator to monitor commitments pertaining to the environment, blasting activities by Clarkson is monitored by Dames & Moore, the Safety Relatt d backfilling operation is monitored by the Quality Control Department using QCP-II-102.

I would like for you to schedule a meeting for 9 o' clock,9-21-79, to discuss the backfilling operations on the Ultimate Heat Sink Dam to assure all parties involved are fully aware of the procedural responsibilities prior to beginning this activity.
