WCAP-8370 (Rev. 9A) commits Westinghouse to comply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and to comply with the Regulatory Position provided by the NRC (with some exceptions which have been found acceptable by NRC) in Regulatory Guides 1.26-Rev. 3 (February 1976),1.28-Rev. 2 (February 1979), 1.29-Rev. 2 (September 1978), 1.37-Rev. 0 (March 1973), 1.38-Rev. 2 (May 1977), 1.58-Rev. 0 (August 1973), 1.64-Rev. 2 (June 1976), 1.70-Rev. 3 (November 1978), 1.74-Rev. 0 (Februa ry 1974), 1.88-Rev. 2 (October 1976), 1.94-Rev. 1 (April 1976), 1.ll6-Rev.
0-R (May 1977), and 1.144-Rev. 0 (January 1979).
Westinghouse has provided for our evaluation a detailed description of organizations and groups involved in implemen-ting activities required by the QA program and a delineation of duties, responsi-bility, and authority of those organizational elements involved in the QA program.
WCAP-8370 (Rev. 9A) contains a description of the measures used to carry out the Westinghouse QA program activities and describes how the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 will be satisfied by the administration and implementation of these measures.
SUMMARY
OF REGULATORY EVALUATION We have evaluated the QA program and the organizations responsible for QA functions as described in WCAP-8370 (Rev. 9A).
We find that QA policy and direction originate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively communicated to other parts of the organization.
Those performing QA functions have responsibility and authority commensurate With their duties in implementing the QA 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 in an acceptable manner.
Based on our review and evaluation of WCAP-8370 (Rev. 9A), we conclude that:
1.
The organizations and persons performing QA functions within Westinghouse have the required independence and authority to effectively implement the QA program without undue influence from those directly responsible for costs and schedules, and 7 910230 l Y O 1203 065
. 2.
The Westinghouse QA program contains the requirements and c7ntrois which, when properly implemented, comply with the requirements of Appendix 8 to 10 CFR Part 50 and the applicable regulatory guides and standards contained in Chapter 17 of the NRC Standard Review Plan.
