Dear M . Denton:
In the Matter of the ) Docket Nos. STN 50-518 Tennessee Valley Authority ) STN 50-519 STN 50-520 STN 50-521 STN 50-553 STN 50-554 STN 50-566 STN 50-567 In response to R. L. Tedesco's May 24, 1982 letter to me regarding quality assurance for deferred nuclear plants, we are providing the enclosed information which is applicable to our Hartsville, Phipps Bend, and Yellow Creek Nuclear Plants. An extension to the original response date was discussed with Mr. Tedesco by my staff on July 7, 1982. TVA's QA for deferred units is described in enclosure 1 and for units which are indefinitely deferred are outlined in enclosure 2.
We must emphasize that the status of some of these units may soon change. A meeting of the TVA Board of Directors will be held in the near future to consider possible cancellations of some units. We will inform you of any such changes regarding the status of these nuclear plants after formal approval by the TVA Board of Directors.
Very truly yours, l

r ENCLOSURE 1 QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR DEFERRED NUCLEAR PLANTS (Response to R. L. Tedesco's letter to L. M. Mills dated May 24, 1982.)
The CONST QA program for the deferred nuclear units will respond to the requirements of Appendix B to 1c CFR Part 50 and the existing program with appropriate modification. The planned work force reduction and production stoppage has caused significant modification t3 the oganization descriptions and the production supporting portions of the QA program. Those elements of the existing program will be maintained to prevent degradation of quality of sarety-related structures, systems, componencs, and materials. Also, our responses to your three specific items are as follows:
NRC Item No. 1 - A requirement for the development and technical evaluation of procedures for preservation, packaging, storage, inspection, surveillance, and access control of complete or partially complete construction and installation of safety-related items.
TVA's Response - The existing QA program document network will remain intact, with some modifications, which have already been made for quality-affecting activities such ts receiving, storing, maintaining, and inspecting. The program will continue to be delineated in the Construction Engineering Procedures (CEP), Quality Control Instructions (QCI), and Receiving Inspection, Storage and Preventive Maintenance Instructions (RIS&PMI).
" Access control" is delineated in the document referred to as the " Joint Security Plan for Nuclear Plants."
NRC Item No. 2 - A requirement for the qualification and training requirements for personnel developing, evaluating, and executing the procedures described in item 1.
TVA's Response - The requirements for personnel qualification and training are delineated in the "CONST QA Training Plan."
This plan addresses the indocrination, instruction, qualification and training for personnel performing, verifying, and ensuring those activities as descriced in item 1.
NRC Item No. 3 - A requirement that "as-built" documentation be updated to show the current status of structures, systems, and components for each unit.
TVA's response - The "as-constructed" status at point of deferral is being recorded on appropriate drawings maintained at the site. The current CEP-3.03, "As-Constructed Drawings,"
has been modified to reflect this requirement for deferred nuclear units.
e Y
ENCLOSURE 2 TVA INDEFINITELY DEFERRED UNITS TVA plants pinced in an indefinitely deferred s'tatus with no planned restart date at this time will have no further protection applied to -
permanent plant features / structures than exists now. Systems,.
components, materials, and structures which can be used elsewhere within TVA or sold will be properly protected as noted in our response to items 1 and 2 of enclosure 1. If at a later date restart is contemplated, a comprehensive evaluation will be undertaken and discussed with the NRC.
