DPR-58 and DPR-74 PROPOSED REVISION TO THE 1992 UPDATED QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (QAPD)

U.

S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, D.C.

20555 Attn:

T.

E. Murley May 10, 1993

Dear Dr. Murley:

This letter and its attachments constitute a proposed revision to the 1992 Updated Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD).

Most of the proposed changes are (1) a result of organizational adjustments to accommodate the retirement of a senior manager or (2) editorial.

y"]Q164 We believe that only one of the proposed changes constitutes a

reduction in previous QA program commitments.

In Section 1.7.3.2.9, the commitment to "individually" document and obtain "advanced" approval to use a supervisor to perform design verifications has been reduced.

To individually document in

advance, when a

supervisor is going to perform design verification, increases administrative burdens with no increase in safety.

The design documentation, itself, identifies who performed design verification and also contains management approval.

Dr. T.

E. Murley AEP:NRC:0847Y Attachment 1 to this letter addresses each of the specific changes (other than the general repagination).

The proposed changes can readily be identified by the highlighting in, which is the proposed QAPD.

As provided by 10 CFR 50.54(a)(iv),

the proposed changes shall be regarded as accepted by the Commission upon receipt of a letter to this effect, or 60 days after submittal, unless otherwise notified by the Commission.

Realizing the simplicity of the proposed

changes, the Commission approval of the proposed changes within 60 days would be appreciated.

Sincerely, CP4f-w E.

The term was changed to bring consistency throughout the Nuclear Organization.

Editorial change:

Nuclear Operations Department (NOD) changed to Nuclear Operation (NO)

Department.

Attachment 1 to AEP:NRC:0847Y Page 2

Section(s)

'.7.1.2.5 (revised page 1.7-17)

(page 1.7-17)

Proposed Changes(s)

Responsibility to "Coordinate operations within AEPSC that support the Cook Nuclear Plant Facility Data Base (FDB)" moved to the Nuclear Engineering Department (revised page 1.7-ig).

Nuclear Operations responsibility clarified to include emergency planning and "support" of the security program.

Security

planning, reviewing security facilities, and development of the employee fitness for duty/background screening program are performed by the Cook Plant staff.

These responsibilities are included in the administration of human resource activities and of the approved physical security program addressed on page 1.7,.23 (July, 1993).

1.7.1.2.5 Nuclear Engineering 1.7.1.2.5 Purchasing and Stores (revised page 1.7-29) 1.7.2.1 (revised page 1.7-30) 1.7.2.2.3 1.7.3.2.2 Edi torial change:

Nucl ear Engineering Department changed to Nuclear Engineering (NE) Department.

Editorial changes:

Added "blanket orders" to type of procurement documents.

Relocated the word "standard" for cl ari ty.

Added "services" to clarify that

services, as well as, items are purchased, and therefore addressed by training sessions.

Editorial change:

Changed "part" H

to "Subpart" H.

Attachment 1 to AEP:NRC:0847Y Page 3

1.7.3.2.9 1.7.3.2.9 1.7.4.2.1 Secti on(s)

Proposed Changes(s)

Proposing to eliminate the commitment to "individually" document the need and obtain "advanced" management approval when a supervisor is used for design verification.

The current requirement is an unnecessary administrative

burden, since the need for supervisors performing the design verification and the management approval are in'eluded in the design
package, prior to operability of the associated structure,
system, or component.

Editorial change:

Deleted the number "4" in front of the associated sentence.

Edi torial change:

Revi sed "purchased materials, components, and services associated with safety-related structures or systems are" to "safety-related items and services are".

The proposed change is consistent with the definition of "item" included in ANSI N45.2.10.

1Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI N45.2.10.</br></br>1" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process..7.7.2.1 1.7.7.2.5 Added "Appropriate technical and" to clarify that procurement procedures address technical, as well as, quality requirements.

Editorial change:

To clarify that distributors are addressed as suppliers within the gA program.

Editorial changes:

Insert "the" to improve grammar.

Changed "PHI on receipt inspection of safety-related items addresses the program for" to "program for receipt inspection of safety-related items addresses".

The gA program includes procedures, other than the PHI, for receipt inspection.

1.7.7.2.5 1.7.7.2.6 1.7.7.2.7 1.7.10.2.4 1,.7.12.1 1.7.16.2.2 1.7.17.2.2 1.7.18.2.4 Section(s) 'roposed Changes(s)

Sections revised to clarify that certain items (such as nuclear fuel) involve additional or special OA program activities to supplement receipt inspection.

Edi tori al change:

Added "contractors working under their own" to further clarify that the contractors being addressed are not working directly under the Cook Nuclear Plant specific gA program.

Editorial changes:

Hyphen (-) added to the term safety-related; and title of ANSI N45.2.6 corrected.

Edi torial change:

"systems, components, and structures" changed to "structures,

systems, and components" to be consistent with terminology elsewhere in the gA program.

Second paragraph revised to clarify which condition reports will be reviewed by the PNSRC, since the terms "problem" and "significant problem" are not used to characterize deficiencies or adverse conditions.

The proposed change is consistent with Technical Specification 6.5. 1.6, which addresses PNSRC responsibilities.

Editorial change:

"Nuclear" added to the title of the Nuclear Records Management Supervisor.

AEPSC Senior Executive Vice President Engineering and Constructi on del eted as reci pi ent of NSDRC audit reports due to his retirement.
