Dear Mr. Peach:
November 19, 1985 We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the draft GAO report, "Improved Regulatory Oversight Needed for Quality~A'ssurance at Operating Nuclear Power Plants."
The report makes several points which are useful to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and highlights several areas.in which we agree that further work by NRC may be desirable.
As.*we move beyond a philosophy based on compliance with minimum regulations, we have begun to carry out inspections in the areas of management, maintenance and training.
A report of such a recent inspection at Turkey Point is attached as Enclosure 1.
We hope that this redirection of emphasis will lead to a further improvement in safety at nuclear plants.
With regard to the use of operational data in the SALP process, a number of activities have been underway for sometime but are not currently reflected in the draft report.
Enclosure 2 is a description of several of these activities.
The inclusion of these activities in the draft GAO report would serve to update and provide perspective to the report.
We have no other specific comments on the content of this draft GAO report.
Sincerely,
Enclosure:
