J MP&L has provided for our evaluaticn a detailed organizational description of those individuals and groups involved iri carrying out activities required by the QA pro-gram and o delineation of duties, responsibilities, and authority of those organiza-tional elements involved in the QA program.
MPL-TOP-l A, Revision 2 contains a des-cription of the measures used to carry out the MPL QA program activities and describes how applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 will be satisfied by the i
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 A, Revision 2.
We find that QA policy and direction ori-ginate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively communicated to other parts of the organization.
Individuals performing QA functions have responsi-bility and authority commensurate with their duties in implementing the QA program.
We also find that measures have been established to be implemented by written proce-dures and instructions which address each of the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 in an acceptable manner.
Based on our review and evaluation of MPL-TOP-1 A, Revision 2, we conclude that:
1 1.
The organizations and persons performing QA functions within MP&L have the required independence and authority to effectively carry out the QA program without undue influence from those directly re'sponsible for costs and schedules.
2.
The MP&L QA program contains requirements and controls which, when properly implemented, comply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
3.
The MP&L topical report, MPL-TOP-1 A, Revision 2, " Operational Quality Assur-ance Manual," is acceptable for use in the operations phase activities of MP&L's j
nuclear power plants.
