SUMMARY
OF REGULATORY EVALUATION AND POSITION We have evaluated the quality assurance program and the organizat ons responsible i
for quality assurance functions described in Revision 3 of TVA-TI:.5-1A.
We find that quality assurance policy and direction origir. ate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively communicated to other parts of the organization.
Those performing quality assurance functions have responsibility and authority commensurate with their duties in implementing the program. We also find that measures have been established to be implemented by written procedures and instructions, which address each of the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 in an acceptable manner.
Based on our review and evaluation of TVA-TR751A, Revision 3, we conclude that:
1.
The organizations and persons performing quality assurance functions within the Tennessee Valley Authority have the required independence and authority to effectively carry out the quality assurance program without undue influence from those directly responsible for costs and schedules.
2.
The Tennessee Valley Authority quality assurance program contains requirements and controls which, when properly implemented, comply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
3.
The Tennessee Valley Authority Topical Report TVA-TR75-1A, Revision 3, " Quality Assurance Program Description," is acceptable for use in the design, procurement, construction, preoperational testing, and operations phase activities of TVA's nuclear rc er plants.
