DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR STATEMENT OF QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY The Quality Assurance Program described herein has been developed by Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) to assure safe and reliable operation of the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) in a SAFSTOR condition. This program is designed to meet the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," as it would apply to a possession-only condition.

The Quality Assurance Program applies to all activities affecting the functions of the structures, systems, and components that are associated with a possession-only license using a graded approach. These activities include design, operations, mainte-nance, repair, fuel handling, testing and modifications. Design and fabrication of shipping casks used for shipment of radioactive material will not be conducted under this Quality Assurance Program.

The DPC Quality Assurance Group Supervisor is responsible for the establishment of a Quality Assurance Program which meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and implementation of the program.
