SUBJECT:

Quality Assurance Program (QAP) Topical Report - Millstone Power Station Revision 23, Change 7 (Document No. MP-02-OST-BAPOI)

Enclosed please find Quality Assurance Program (QAP) Topical Report - Millstone Power Station, Revision 23, Change 7. The purpose of this change is to eliminate the Certified Fuel Handler position which currently augments the Unit 2 shift complement to address the recent transfer of responsibility for Unit I activities for the Spent Fuel Pool Island and auxiliary systems to Unit 2 Operations. The proposed change affects QAP 1.0, Section 1.3 (Operations) and Figure 1.1. QAP Revision #23, Change 2, dated 11/05/01, moved the hardware to the Unit 2 Control Room and retained a Unit I Certified Fuel Handler (CFH) on shift. This change the completes the transfer of responsibility of the CFH to Unit 2 Operations personnel, eliminating the augmented CFH position IOCFR50.54(a)(3)(vi) allows: "Organizational revisions that ensure that persons and organizations performing quality assurance functions continue to have the requisite authority and organizational freedom, including sufficient independence from cost and schedule when opposed to safety considerations." This change retains all functions and responsibilities of the current organization, eliminating the augmented Certified Fuel Handlers and completing the transfer of responsibility for Unit I Certified Fuel Handler to Unit 2 Operations. The Unit 2 Shift Managers currently on-shift have been trained as Certified Fuel Handlers. Task analysis and event analysis indicate that there is no impact on Unit I or Unit 2 ability to protect the health and safety of the public while performing required tasks for both units.

Please note that the effective date of Revision 23, Change 7, is March 25, 2002. Please replace the entire contents of QAP 1.0 with the enclosed sections. If you have any questions, contact D. Bruce at X3185.
