SUBJECT:

Quality Assurance Program (QAP) Topical Report - Millstone Power Station Revision 23, Change 5 (Document No. MP-02-OST-BAP01)

Enclosed please find Quality Assurance Program (QAP) Topical Report - Millstone Power Station, Revision 23, Change 5. The purpose of this change is to align the Millstone Nuclear Oversight Department under the Dominion Corporate Nuclear Oversight Director, instead of reporting to the Vice President and Senior Nuclear Executive - Millstone. This change impacts QAP Sections 1.0, 2.0, 18.0 and Appendix F.

The Manager-Nuclear Oversight will report directly to the Director - Nuclear Oversight. The change increases "organizational freedom and independence from cost and schedule when opposed to safety considerations" and therefore complies with IOCFR50.54(a)(3)(vi) and IOCFR50 Appendix B requirements. The change affects only the reporting relationship, the Manager - Nuclear Oversight maintains roles and responsibilities identified in the QAP.

Please note that the effective date of Revision 23, Change 5, is January 17, 2002. Please replace the entire contents of QAP 1.0, 2.0 18.0; and Appendix F with the enclosed sections. If you have any questions, contact D. Bruce at X3185.
