SUBJECT:

COMANCHE PEAK HID-TERM QA INSPECTION 4 m DN 50-445; 50-446 -

By memorandum, dated March 7,1978, I proposed to conduct the rufemneed .

inspection in the June-July 1978 time frame. Your concurmnce was received,

-- H - and I scheduled the inspection for July 11-14, 1978 as inspection 78-12. n i

I now propose to postpone the inspection based upon the following technicaf and personal reasons: g

a. Technical 1 5

as<

,.. Procedure 35200 mquires identification of substantive chadges in the.

licensee and/or contractor QA/QC organizations since last reviewed by -

NRR-QAB. As we are all aware, substantive changes have been made which h will not be reviewed by licensing until the at least Amendment two (2)

I to the FSAR is filed. If we conduct the inspection as scheduled, we would have to describe these changes and call them either unresolved or deviation items; ooth of which in varying degrees f@ly a briticism o,f, their actions. None of their actions on their organization changes ,

appear to warrant criticir,m to date and in fact appear to have only enhanced the effectiveness of their program. The other prpgransnatic ,

aspects of the inspectior. have been in varying degrees reviewed in ' ~

regular inspections to the extent they art applicable withithe possible exception of site originated procurement of which there is*1ittle thay is aafety related.

b. Personal As of this date, I am planning on making the physical sove to the site area during the week beginning Monday, July 24. I have'not yet identified anything specific that.must be done in the week of July 11-14 to facilitate the move, but I'm sure that both sqy wife and I would be much more comfortable if I.wem not away during what will probably turn into a panic period. .

I would propose to conduct 35200 after the FSAR has been amended to cover the organizational changes and in unscheduled bits and pieces after I'm in residence at the site.

l Your concurrence to this proposal at the earliest.possible time is mquested.
