By June 28,
- 1975, we will submit to NRC a Topical Quality Assurance Report that is responsive to the guidance provided in MASH-1283, HASH-1284, and MASH-1309.
This Topical Report will contain the generic elements of the Operational QA Program described in PSL Unit 1 FSAR and will apply 'to the
- design, procurement, construction and operation of all future nuclear generating stations, as well as PTP Units 3
and 4.
Dr. Cockrell, T'PL OA Manager, discussed our intention to prep'are this Topical QA Report with Mr. Vollmer and members of this staff on March 12, 1975.

Dear Mr. Lear:
This letter is in response to your letter dated March 28,
- 1975, regarding the 'Operational QA Program at Turkey Point Nuclear General Station, Units 3 and 4 (PTP).
Although it is not practical to simply apply the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 (PSL)
QA Program to PTP because of the fundamental differences in staff requirements (PSL has only one unit; PTP has two nuclear and two fossil fueled units), facility require-
- ments, code requirements, etc.,
we can and will apply the generic elements of the PSL Operational QA Program. to PTP.
Our plan fo-accomplishing this transition is as follows:
2..
By January 1,
1976 (Day 0),
we will complete a matrix, which will be available for NRC inspection at the plant site, identifying differences between the corporate Quality Procedures reich represent the implementation of the QA Program described by the Topical QA Report and the PTP Administrative Procedures.
The PTP Administrative Procedures implement the QA Program for operating, refueling, maintenance,'nd-modification of nuclear safety related equipment specifically for Turkey Point Plant.

Mr. George Lear April 29, 1975 page 2
3.
Day 0 +120 - During this period of time we will complete resolution of the differences identified in the matrix, promulgate rev'sed corporate Quality Procedures and/or PTP Administrative procedures and complete training, staffing and implementing the revised pxocedures.
- Thus, assuming the NRC will have reviewed and approved the Topical QA Report by January 1,
1976 (Day 0),
we will have implemented an Operational OA Program consistent with the gu-'dance 'provided in the previously mentioned MASH documents for PTP Units 3 and 4 by April 29, 1976 (Day 120).
As a point of clarification when we submit the Topical Report on June 28,
- 1975, we will also submit a description that is in conformance witn the Standard Format and Content fox Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Powex'lants, Section "7.2.
- However, this description will contain only a reference to the Topical OA Peport plus any information unique to PTP tnat would be too specific for the Topical Repoxt.
/
You have req'ues'ted, "I~ your program contai.ns excep'tions to tne provis" ons included in these documents, you shou'd 'dentify suc.
exce tions and describe youx'lternativ approach."
As a matter of practicality, our response to this reque'st must be (a) excep b
( ) we will descrioe
'the 'FPL approach in the Topical OA Report, (b) the approach will be responsive to guidance provided by
!3AS~i documents
- 1283, 1284 and 1309, and (c) we will be pleased to explain any apparent diffexences between our approach and the HASH documents that arise from the NRC review.
Because of the lac'.c of spec'ficity and inconsistency among the standards contained in the MASH documents (romany of which are in the draft phase) and because the standards writers (as well as NRC personnel) are not in full agreement on certain terms and definitions, it is not always cl ar to us s<hen we have taken an exception.
It is d'or this reason that our QA Department has informed the staff at PTP and PSL that the FPL QA i~manual contains the FPL position relative to the requirements of the MASH documents.
To date the FPL QA Program as described in the FPL QA Manual has been audited
- gainst the MASP.-1283 (Design 6: Procurement QA) and HASH-1309 (Construction QA) documents by HRC-I/E Region 2 inspectors and no deficiencies exist.
Me are prepared for an audit against the MASH-1284 (Ope".-
ations QA) document which we anticipate in the near future prior to receipt of the Operating License fox PSL Unit 1.
"'herefore, it is with a reasonable level of confidence that we have ta!cen this position in order to give our opexating plants
