- '=
Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 will be satisfied by the administration and implementation of these measures.
SUMMARY
OF REGULATORY EVALUATION AND POSITION We have evaluated the QA program and the organizations responsible for QA functions as described in MPL-TOP-1, Revision 0.
We find that QA policy and direction originate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively communicated to other parts of the organization.
Individuals performing QA functions have responsibility and authority ccmmensurate 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 criterion of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 in an acceptable manner.
Based on our review and evaluation of MPL-TOP-1, Revision 0, we conclude, that:

7.NTRODUCT ION This manual describes the Operational Quality Assurance Program established by Mississippi Power & Light Company (MP&L) to assure that its nuclear power plants are operated in accordance with applicable regulatory require-ments and in a manner which protects the public health and safety.
The Operational Quality Assurance Program conforms to the criteria established in Appendix B to 10CFR50, " Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Re-processing Plants," and to the Regulatory Position in applicable NRC Regulatory Guides and industry standards as delineated in Appendix A to this manual. Guidance in the preparation of this manual was obtained f rom the NRC's " Standard Review Plan" (NUREG-75/087).
The Quality Assurance Program described herein is applicable to all MP&L nuclear power plants which reference it in Section 17.2 of their Final Safety Analysis Report. The program applies to all operational phase activities (including pre-operational and startup testing) which af fect the safety-related functions of those structures, systems and components which prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents which could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
Revisions to this manual will be made as needed to reflect changes to MP&L's Operational Quality Assurance Program. Revisions which reflect programmatic changes (except those that are editorial in nature) will be submitted to the NRC prior to implementation of the changes.
Revisions which reflect organi-zational changes will be submitted to the NRC within 30 days af ter the ef fective date of the announced organization changes.

The Operational Quality Assurance Program is documented by written policies, procedures, and instructions, and shall be carried out throughout the life of the plant in accordance with these policies, procedures, and instructions. These documents convey MP&L quality assurance philosopy and requirements to all levels of management and to all organizations and individuals involved with program implementation.
The Operational Quality Assurance Program applies to all activities including the use of expendable and consumable materials af fecting the safety-related functions of those structures, systems, and com-ponents which prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated acci-dents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The program is designed to nomply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10CFR50, " Quality Assu ance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants" and with the Regulatory Position in applicable NRC Regulatory Guides and ANSI 5tandards listed in Appendix A to this manual.
A listing of items designated safety-related is included in the FSAR for the applicable nuclear generating station.
A more definitive Q-List listing subcomponents, parts, etc. for items and services designated safety-related to which the program applies, is maintained and re.1 sed, as necessary, to reflect changes resulting from the finalization or modification of plant design.
Project Management is responsible to maintain this Q-List in accordance with written procedures which will assure that items listed in the FSAR shall be in the definitive list as a minimum.
The applicable requirements of the program are also imposed upon contractors, suppliers and consultants. MP&L reviews and documents agreement with the Quality Assurance Program provisions of such organizations to the extent necessary to assure that the require-ments will be implemented, and assigns trained qualified personnel to verify that functions delegated to these organizations are pro-perly accomplished.
2.5.1 Operational Quality Assurance Manual The Operational Quality Assurance Manual consists of MP&L quality assurance policies, goals, and objectives and has been developed in accordance with applicable regulations, codes, and standards.
It describes the Operational Quality Assurance Program and delineates the responsibilities and requirements imposed by the program for the performance of safety-related activities.
The Manager of Quality Assurance is responsible for main-taining the manual and controlling its distribution, including revisions thereto, in accordance with approved Quality Assurance Procedures.

Cleaniness will be maintained, consistent with the work being per-formed, so as to prevent the entry of foreign material into safety-related systems.
This will include as a mininus documented cleanli-ness inspcctions which will be performed immediately prior to system closure. Control of personnel, tools, equipment, and supplies will be established when major port ion of the reactor systen are opened for inspection, naintenance or repair.
Additional housekeeping requirtr. cats will be implemented as required for control of radioactivt contamination.
