Subject:

Request for Report on Midland Design Adequacy and Construction Quality In its interim report on flidland Plant, Units 1 and 2, dated June 8,1982, the ACRS recommended a broader assessment of Midland's design adequacy and construction quality and requested a report which discusses design and construction problems, their disposition, and the overall effectiveness of the effort to assure appro-priate quality.

With respect to assessment of Midland's design adequacy, such assessment would represent a significant contribution to the licensing review process if perfomed by a qualified, independent source following procedures utilized by sane operating plants for Independent Design Verifications. Our experience has been that Inde-i pendent Design Verifications can provide significant indications as to whether or not construction quality exists at a plant.

They have been useful, not only in areas where significant or ntanerous non-conformances may have been generated during construction, but also in areas where no non-confomance existed to direct special attention to a particular area.

The credibility of such studies is significantly enhanced if perfomed by a source independent of the construction effort.

The NRC staff endorses this ACRS recommendation. While we are still continuing to detemine what requirements will be imposed, we request that you start to perform an evaluation leading to such a report on a schedule cmpatible with your licensing needs.

We would appreciate being advised of your considerations regarding this request.

Should you have questions regarding this matter, please address them to your Project itanager, Darl S. Hood (301) 492-8474.
