ATTACHMENT 1 NRC Question:
Section 17.1A.1 Or anization In your previous transmittal of changes to Chapter 17.1 of the FSAR of August 30, 1984, the Director of Nuclear Operations was identified as a position of responsibility in your organiz-ation.
Please explain why this position was deleted in Amendment 14.
Response
Section 17.1A deals with the construction phase of the project.
The Director of Nuclear Operations does not have responsibility during the construction phase of the project.
The discussion was therefore deleted in this section.
NRC Question:
Section 17.1A.1.2.5.2 Procurement ualit De artment It appears that the last sentence was intended to end after "Corporate QA/QC." If so, the remainder of the sentence is a typo; please confirm.
Response
The last sentence in the section was intended to further describe the duties of the Procurement Quality Manager.
It is being revised per the attached SAR change to provide clarifi-cation.
NRC Question:
Section 17.1A.6 Document Control Amendment 12 to page 17.1A-33 contains a paragraph addressing the responsibilities of the Nuclear Construction Manager for preparation of document control procedures for nuclear construc-tion.
Please explain why this paragraph was deleted in Amendment 14.
Response
The responsibilities concerning document control procedures for nuclear construction is now discussed on a higher level of management,
- namely, the Director Technical Services.
This was done to provide consistency within the FSAR.
The QA Document Control program has not changed.
The Manager, Nuclear Construction reports directly to Director, Technical Services.
The responsibilities have not changed, merely the level of management in which they are discussed.
The FSAR is being clarified to incorporate all the activities discussed in the deleted paragraph into the description of the responsibilities of the Director, Technical Services.
