Carolina Power R Light Company (CPRL) hereby submits for NRC approval a proposed revision to the SHNPP QA Program.

This change would result in a reduction of the program commitments and, therefore, requires NRC approval, pursuant to IOCFR50.50(a)(3), prior to implementation of the change.

The proposal deals with the review of inspector qualifications for those inspectors who are not part of CPRL's QA organization.

The proposed change is described in the attachment to this letter.

Also attached is a marked-up FSAR page reflecting the proposed change.

This QA Program change will not be implemented until after NRC acceptance'of the change pursuant to IOCFR50.5'(a)(3)(iv).

This program revision, if accepted, will be incorporated into the FSAR.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Steven Chaplin of our Nuclear Licensing Staff at (919) 836-6623.

Yours very uly,(

A. B. Cutter ABC/SDC/lah (5206SDC)

~Chan e:

The SHNPP QA Program allows for use of inspectors who are not members of CPRL's QA organization.

When non-QA personnel perform inspections, the program requires that the inspection procedures as well as the inspector's qualifications, proficiency tests, and independence are reviewed by the QA organization prior to initiation of the activity.

This change would alter the requirements regarding review of inspector qualification in that it would require a review of the personnel qualification criteria rather than a review of each inspector's qualifications and proficiency tests.

Reason for the Chan e:

This change would bring the SHNPP QA Program requirements in line with the requirements in place for CPRL's other nuclear plants; i.e., the QA Program requirements are verified prior to the activity and the ongoing implementation is monitored through QA surveillance.

Basis for Concludin that Revised Pro ram Incor oratin the Chan e Continues to Satisf 10CFR50 A endix B and the FSAR ualit Pro ram:

Although this change would reduce a program commitment, the revised program still provides adequate assurance that inspections willbe performed by qualified individuals.

Since this change does not affect any other program commitments, the SHNPP QA Program continues to meet applicable 10CFR50 Appendix B criteria.

(5206SDC/mss)

SHNi>P FSAR 17.2.l0 INSPECTION The SHNPP QA Program, as controlled by the Corporate QA Program, establishes requirements for an inspection program to verify conformance of activities affecting quality with requirements specified for those activities.

Inspections are performed by personnel who are independent of the individuals performing or directly supervising the activity being inspected.

The inspection personnel are qualified in accordance with applicable codes and standards, and their qualifications and certiflcatiors are maintained current.

If individuals performing inspections are not part of the Q

and independence are reviewed by the QA organization prior n

iation of the activity.

Inspections at SHNPP are performed in accordance with written procedures, instructions, and/or checklists, which provide for the following:

a)

Identification of individuals or groups responsible for performing the inspections.

b)

Identification of characteristics and activities to be inspected.

c)

Acceptance and rejection criteria.

d)

Method of inspection.

e)

Recording the results of the inspection review of the results, and identification of the inspector.

f)

Indirect control by monitoring of processing

methods, equipment, and personnel when direct inspection is not possible.

g)

Use of necessary drawings/specifications.

h)

Specifying special measuring and test equipment.

Procedures will be established to assure the correct identification of mandatory inspection holdpoints where required beyond which work may not proceed until inspected.

Modifications, repairs, and replacements are" inspected in accordance with the original design and inspection requirements or acceptable alternatives.

Inspections are determined based on involvement of technical and QA/QC personnel aided by criteria established in approved procedures and SAR commitments.

17.2.10-1 Amendment No.
