A series of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspections have been conducted to review your implementation of the Quality Assurance Program applicable to NRC applicants or licensees who have contracted for services from the Los Angeles Power Division of the Bechtel Power Corporation.
These inspections consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews of personnel and direct observation by the inspectors.
As a result of these inspec-tions, the NRC Office of Inspection and Enforcement (IE) has concluded that the QA program described in Topical Report B,-TOP-1, Revision 2A, is being implemented satisfactorily.
Neither this conclusion nor the remainder of this.'.etter applies to any activities conducted at reactor sites.
Licensees and applicants that have referenced the above Topical Report in their Safety Analysis Reports (or have adopted the total quality assurance program described in that Topical Report) may at their option use this letter to fulfill their obligation under 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion VII, that requires them to perform initial source evaluation / selection audits and subsequent periodic audits to assess the quality assurance program implementation.
The NRC expression of satisfaction with the implementation of ysur QA program does not assure that a specific product or service offered by you to your customer is of acceptable quality, nor does it relieve the applicant or licensee from the general provision of Criterion VII which requires verification tnat purchased material equipment or services conform to the procurement documents.
It is recognized that in some cases *his assurance can be made by the applicant or licensee without audits or inspections at your facility.
