Dear Mr. Trimble:
SUSJECT: NRC ACCEPTANCE OF REVISED ARKANSAS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY'S QUALITY ASSURANCE TOPICAL REPORT The Trimble/Haass letter of June 11, 1979 submitted Revision 5 to Arkansas Power &
cight Company's (AP&L) topical report, APL-TOP-1A, " Quality Assurance Manual -
Operations," for staff review and approval.
Subsequent page changes were submitted via letters dated January 9 and 16, and March 31, 1980.
Revision 5 revises the tonical report to reflect organizational changes, commitments to the latest regula-tory guides, and editorial changes.
Baseo on our review and evaluation of Revision 5, we find that all applicable require-ments of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 are included in the QA program requirements.
Therefore, your revised topical report is acceptable, and you may implement it imme-diately. To use the topical report in license applications, AP&L need only reference this tooical recort in Section 17 of the Safety Analysis Report.
We do not intend to repeat our review of this topical report when it is referenced in an application.
AP&L's exception to Section C, 52 of Regulatory Guide 1.123 is considered an open item. A staff position on this subject (i.e., utilization of ANSI N45.2.13 in con-junction with Code requirements) will be transmitted at a later date.
Should regulatory criteria or regulations change such that our conclusions about this topical report are invalidated, we will notify you.
You will be given the oppor-tunity to revise and resubmit it should you so desire. Programmatic changes by AP&L to this topical report are to be submitted to NRC for review prior to implementation.
Organizational changes are to be submitted no later than 30 days after announcement.
Please replace our letter of September 8,1977 and its enclosure, which was the staff's evaluation of the report through Revision 4, with a copy of this letter and the enclosed topical report evaluation in your report, renumber the report APL-TOP-1A, Revision 5, and resubmit 36 copies. Please note in your transmittal letter that the program des-cribed in Revision 5 will be implemented on Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit Nos.1 and 2.
Should you have any questions regarding our review or if we can provide assistance, please feel free to contact Mr. James Conway on (301) 492-7741.
Sincerely, d.;
