UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 (Sample Letter)
ALL POWER REACTOR LICENSEES EXCEPT OCONEE RE:
QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL A review of Arkansas Nuclear One found that diesel generator fuel oil was not on the Q list for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units Nos. 1 and 2 (ANO-1/2).
This indicated that diesel generator fuel oil was not included in the ANO-1/2 Quality Assurance Programs. This also brought into question whether diesel generator fuel oil was included in the quality assurance plans of other operating plants.
A-pendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants" to 10 CFR Part 50 establishes overall quality assurance requirements for design, construction, and operation of structures, systems and components important to safety.
Consumable items where quality is necessary for functional performance of safety related components shall also be classified as safety related and thus subject to applicable provisions of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
Regulatory Guide 1.137, "Fuel Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators" describes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Commission's regulatipns regarding fuel oil systems for standby diesel generators and assurance of adequate fuel oil quality.
You are requested to review your Quality Assurance Program with regard to diesel generator fuel oil.
If you do not include diesel generator fuel ol in your Quality Assurance Program we request you include it within 90 days of receipt of this letter.
However, if you take exception to this position and do not comply, we request a response within 90 days of receipt of this letter which provides justification for your not complying with our position.
