SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION FOR BECHTEL QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS TOPICAL REPORT, BQ-TOP-1, 2007 EDITION, REVISION 003 (EPID: L-2018-TOP-0028)
Dear Mr. Rezk:
By letter dated July 31, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18112A363), Bechtel Power Corporation (Bechtel) submitted for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review Bechtel Quality Assurance Program for Nuclear Power Plants Topical Report, BQ-Top-1, 2007 Edition, Revision 003. By letter dated December 21, 2018, the NRC staff issued its draft safety evaluation (SE) (ADAMS Accession No. ML18347B341).
By letter dated January 29, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19030A137), Bechtel informed the NRC staff that there was no proprietary information in the draft SE and that Bechtel had no comments.
The NRC staff has found that the Bechtel Quality Assurance (QA) Program, Revision 3 is acceptable for referencing in licensing applications for nuclear power plants to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in the TR and in the enclosed final SE. The final SE defines the basis for our acceptance of the TR.
Our acceptance applies only to material provided in the subject TR. We do not intend to repeat our review of the acceptable material described in the TR. When the TR appears as a reference in license applications, our review will ensure that the material presented applies to the specific plant involved. License amendment requests that deviate from this TR will be subject to a plant-specific review in accordance with applicable review standards.
In accordance with the guidance provided on the NRC website, we request that Bechtel publish an accepted version of QA Program, Revision 3 within three months of receipt of this letter. The approved versions shall incorporate this letter and the enclosed final SE after the title page.
The accepted version shall include an A (designating accepted) following the TR identification symbol.
If future changes to the NRCs regulatory requirements affect the acceptability of this TR, Bechtel will be expected to revise the TR appropriately. Licensees referencing this TR would be expected to justify its continued applicability or evaluate their plant using the revised TR.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to contact the NRC Project Manager for the review, Joseph Holonich at (301) 415 7297 or joseph.holonich@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/

1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated July 31, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18212A362), Bechtel Power Company (Bechtel) submitted the Bechtel Quality Assurance Program for Nuclear Power Plants Topical Report (hereafter referred to as Bechtel QATR) BQ-TOP-1, 2007 Edition, Revision 3, for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review.
2.0 REGULATORY BASIS The Commissions regulatory requirements related to Quality Assurance (QA) programs for non-licensees are set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.4(b)(7)(ii). This regulation requires that a change to an NRC-accepted QA program description from non-licensees (i.e., architect/engineers, nuclear steam system suppliers, fuel suppliers, constructors, etc.) must be submitted to the NRC. The NRC will review the proposed QA program description for acceptability, to ensure that the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 are satisfied.
Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to 10 CFR Part 50 establishes QA requirements for the design, fabrication, construction, and testing of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) of the facility. The pertinent requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 apply to all activities affecting the safety-related functions of those SSCs and include designing, purchasing, fabricating, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, erecting, installing, inspecting, testing, operating, maintaining, repairing, refueling, and modifying.
3.0 EVALUATION The Bechtel QATR revision was submitted by letter dated July 31, 2018, in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.4(b)(7)(ii). The letter included Bechtel QATR, BQ-TOP-1, 2007 Edition, Revision 3. In evaluating the adequacy of the Bechtel QATR, the NRC staff used the guidance contained in NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, Section 17.5, Revision 0, Quality Assurance Program Description -
Design Certification, Early Site Permit and New License Applicants, dated March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML063190019) hereafter referred to as SRP Section 17.5, which provides acceptance criteria for quality assurance program descriptions based on American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Standard NQA-1, Quality Assurance Program for Nuclear Facilities, 1994 Edition.
Bechtels QATR, BQ-TOP-1, 2007 Edition, Revision 3, included changes in the organization of Bechtel, changes in job titles and line of reporting, adoption of Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2016-01, Nuclear Energy Institute Guidance for the use of Accreditation in lieu of Commercial Grade Surveys for Procurement of Laboratory Calibration and Test Services, along with minor corrections and other editorial changes. Bechtels organizational changes Enclosure
consisted of title changes and several changes in the lines of reporting. The NRC staff reviewed the organizational changes, using the guidance of NUREG-0800, Section 17.5, and determined that Revision 3 to Bechtels QATR, continues to meet the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Specifically, the staffs review confirmed that the revised Bechtel QATR continues to ensure that persons and organizations performing quality assurance functions have the required authority and organizational freedom and remain sufficiently independent from cost and schedule when opposed to safety considerations.
Bechtels QATR provides changes to address an alternative for performing commercial grade surveys when procuring commercial grade calibration and testing services The NRC staff reviewed these changes and finds they meet the conditions described in RIS 2016-01. The NRC staff finds that the alternative addressed in Subsection 7.5 of Bechtels QATR to be an acceptable method for suppliers of basic components to use the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) accreditation process in lieu of performing commercial grade surveys for procurement of calibration and testing services performed by domestic and international laboratories accredited by ILAC signatories as part of the commercial grade dedication process.
The other changes were minor corrections and editorial changes. The NRC staff reviewed the minor changes and determined they were typographical changes (including renumbering) and changes for consistency. The NRC staff concluded these changes did not reduce the level of commitment in the QATR.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The NRC staff used the acceptance criteria of NUREG-0800, Section 17.5, as the basis for evaluating the acceptability of the Bechtel QATR, BQ-TOP-1, 2007 Edition, Revision 3 for conformance with the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC staff concludes that Bechtels QATR BQ-TOP-1, Revision 3, follows the NRC guidance contained within and conforms to the format of NUREG-0800, Section 17.5, complies with Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requirements for the QA program, and is therefore, acceptable.
