138 Albany Street Cambridge, MA 02139 Gentlemen:
We have evaluated your revised quality assurance program, SAR Chapter 11, sub-mitted with your August 5,1980 letter to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR H71. 51.
It is the staff's position that the description of the quality assurance pro-gram for packaging and transportation of radioactive material include a complete discussion of how the applicable requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 71 will be satisfied. Even though some of these requirements may be covered in Technical Specifications and other government regulations, they should be includ-ed in the quality assurance program. Accordingly, please revise Chapter 11 of the SAR to address the enclosed request for additional information and submit seven copies of the revised program within 60 days following receipt of this letter.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to contact Mr. Jim Conway at (301) 492-7741.
Sincerely, Charles
