REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUEST FOR APPROVAL DECOMMISSIONING QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR OPERATING COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET NO. 50-346 By application dated April 30, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML19120A209), FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) submitted a request for approval of the decommissioning quality assurance program (DQAP) for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is reviewing the application and has determined that the additional information below is required to complete the review.

Request for Additional Information Criterion XVIII, Audits, of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Program Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 states, in part, that audits shall be performed by personnel not having direct responsibilities in the areas being audited.

Paragraph 18.1 of the proposed DQAP states, in part:

Measures shall be established for a system of planned and documented audits in order to verify compliance with all aspects of the DQAP and determine the effective implementation of programs covered by the DQAP. Audit personnel shall not have direct responsibilities in the areas to be audited.

However, paragraph 12.3 of the proposed DQAP suggests that the production management position is responsible for measuring and test equipment (M&TE) and auditing of the M&TE processes. Paragraph 12.3 states, in part (emphasis added):

The management position responsible for production is responsible for the governance of M&TE [measuring and test equipment] and oversight of the site calibration process for Davis-Besse. This management position is also responsible for governance and oversight of site M&TE Control. This includes assessment of site compliance to the control of M&TE as defined in corporate maintenance procedural guidance.

Confirm that the responsibilities for production and auditing are delegated to separate management positions. Explain how the assessment of site compliance to the control of M&TE is different from the auditing of this process.
