Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation (QAPSO)

R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244

Dear Mr. Vissing:

The purpose of this letter is to inform the NRC that RG&E has discovered that an August 5, 1993 submittal of our QA program to the NRC under 10CFR50.54(a)(3)(ii) was incomplete. This regulation requires that "the submittal of a change to the Safety Analysis Report quality assurance program description must include all pages affected by the change and must be accompanied by a forwarding letter identifying the change, the reason for the change, and the basis for concluding that the revised program incorporating the change continues to satisfy the criteria of Appendix B of this part and the Safety Analysis Report quality assurance program description commitments previously accepted by the NRC."

Contrary to this requirement, the August 5, 1993 submittal of Revision 18 of the QA Program for Station Operations revised our commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.144, Rev. 1 without specifically identifying the change or the reason for the change to the NRC.

Additionally, this change could be considered to have been a "Reduction in Commitment" and was made without providing a basis for concluding that the change continued to satisfy the criteria of 10CFR50, Appendix B.

RG&E performed a root cause analysis of this error to determine if this was an isolated occurrence. It was determined that some administrative errors were made in Revision 20 of the QAPSO, due to deficient control of the electronic copies of the QAPSO, but these errors could not be construed as reductions in commitment.

Administrative changes have been made in our control processes to prevent further occurrences, including having a single individual with access to the electronic copy of the QAPSO, starting with Revision 21., No such errors have been noted since that time frame.

Very truly yours,
