Quality Assurance Program R.E.
Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244
Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
In response to your request for additional information dated February 24, 1981, the enclosed response is provided.
Very truly yours, Enclosure

Transferrin the res onsibilities of the Weldin and NDE En ineer from the Qualit Assurance Grou to General Maintenance Group After careful reconsideration of the concerns regarding the impact of the Welding and NDE Engineer reassignment we have again concluded that the reassignment enhances the Ginna Quality Assurance Program without impacting necessary independence from cost and schedule activities.
This conclusion is based upon the role of General Maintenance Department in Ginna maintenance activities.
General Maintenance has no direct responsibility for safety-related maintenance activities at Ginna Station.
General Maintenance functions primarily as a source of corporate support services for the various production departments performing maintenance.
In addition, they provide limited non-safety-related construction and building maintenance services.
The Ginna Station Superintendent retains direct responsibility for the control of activities associated with maintenance, modifications and related independent quality verifi-cations at Ginna.
A shi ft of the Welding and NDE Engineer from the Quality Assurance Group to General Maintenance within the Engineering Department does not impact the Ginna Station responsibilities.

During Ginna outage periods the Level III functions performed by Welding and NDE Engineers and related control of the NDE technicians are shifted to Ginna Station under the functional control of the Ginna Station QC Engineer.
This is similar to the functional control exercised by the Ginna Station QC Engineer over contracted examination agencies.
Therefore, control of nondestructive examination activities at Ginna Station is at all times by a designated independent organization.
Forming the new Materials Engineering
- Group, which has no direct responsibility for cost and schedule, has enhanced the Ginna quality assurance program as well as other corporate programs.
This has been accom-plished through the refinement of existing examination programs while optimizing use of materials-oriented personnel to establish testing and analysis capabilities.
In addition, previous interface problems have been corrected with the consolidation of the Welding and NDE Engineer into the same organization as the technicians who are involved in conducting welder training and nondestructive examinations.

Revision 7 deleted Fi ure IV.2-2 "Rochester Gas S
Electric Cor oration QA Or anization" from the QA Pro ram descri tion As in previous revisions, the Quality Assurance Organization with its reporting relationship is shown in the Corporate Organization Chart Figure IV.2-1.
A description of the responsibilities of the Corporation's Manager Quality Assurance and assigned staff is described on pages IV-5 and IV-6 with appropriate reference to Figure IV.2-1.
Elimination of two of the four functions (i.e. Welding and MDE Engineer and Quality Assurance Engineer Construction having Sterling Project Responsibility) resulted in a Figure IV.2-2 which was basically redundant with the organization as depicted on Figure IV.2-'1.
The responsibilities of the Quality Assurance Organization, as pertaining to review, audit and source inspection continues to be described in pages IV-5 and IV-6 in sufficient detail.
In addition, Supplement IV provides a description, on pages IV-7 and IV-8, of the Ginna Station Quality Control Engineer and General Maintenance Quality Control Coordinator responsibilities associated with their assigned quality assurance functions.
These functions continue to be shown on Figures IV.2-1 IV.2-3 and IV~ 2-4

Discuss the Si nificance of Deletin the "En ineer" Block Under the "Qualit Control En ineer" Block from The deletion, which occurred during changes to incorporate the positions of Shift Technical Advisor and Technical Assistant for Operational Assessment is being remedied by the re-insertion of the "Engineer(s)"
block as shown on the attached Figure.
The attached Figure IV.2-3 is to replace that which was provided with the November submittal.
