REFERENCE:
Entergy Operations, Inc. letter to the NRC (CNRO-2015-00023), Request for Approval of Change to the Entergy Quality Assurance Program Manual (QAPM), dated November 6, 2015
Dear Sir or Madam:
In the referenced letter, Entergy Operations, Inc. and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
(collectively referred to as Entergy) submitted to the NRC for approval a change to the Entergy Quality Assurance Program Manual (QAPM). Specifically, the proposed change eliminated Section K.3 from Table 1 of the QAPM (Rev. 29). This section currently reads:
CNRO-2016-00017 Page 2 of 3 As an alternate to daily testing grout for compressive strength, for prepackaged shelf item, non-shrink grout, the grouts compressive strength tests may be performed once on each batch of non-shrink grout received, rather than each day grout is placed.
As a result of recent discussions with the NRC, rather than deleting the entry for Section K.3 as previously proposed, Entergy proposes to revise Section K.3 to state:
In accordance with ASME QA92-003 (ASME NQA-1 Interpretations), testing of non-shrink grout does not fall under the jurisdiction of N45.2.5 Table B; but the designer is responsible for identifying necessary testing and frequency requirements.
A mark-up of this proposed change is provided in the attachment to this letter.
As with the originally proposed change, this revised proposal is based on the ASME response to an inquiry for testing requirements of pre-packaged non-shrink grout, QA92-003.
See Attachment 1 of the referenced letter for the inquiry and the ASME response.
The QAPM, as revised and noted, continues to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and the Regulatory Guides and ANSI Standards referenced in the QAPM Table of Contents and QAPM Attachment, Table 1.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at (601) 368-5649.
Yours truly, EDH/NWE
