Request for additional information (RAI) 61and others) was asked'in order to obtain a clearer understanding whether the scope of Duke Power Company's graded QA program meets NRC requirements and guidance. The response is acceptable in that a clear commitment to meet NRC's QA guidance for nonmetallic insulation for austenitic stainless steel and protective coatings has been added to Table 17.0-1. It is unacceptable in that these items are apparently not classified as QA Condition where is a designation such that quality is ensured commensurate with the item's importance to safety. They should be. Other items [such as ATWS equipment, safety parameter display systems, and the nonsafety-related items referred to in 10 CFR 50.65(b)(2)] should be similarly classified and controlled. "QA Condition 1" appears to be as limiting as "nuclear safety related" and changing from one term to the other does not really help our understanding. Please clarify.

The response to RAI 27 indicates that an appropriate way to address SRP criteria C.2.c, d, e, and f is in the specific sections where they apply. This is acceptable to the staff. However, in light of the dashes (indicating no commitments) and the P's (indicating partial commitment) in the matrix below, consideration should be given as to whether these criteria should be applied to more functions than currently indicated. Please clarify.
