SUBJECT:
Renewal of Radioactive Material Packaging Quality i
Assurance Program - Docket # 71-0109.
Dear Mr. MacDonald,
On February 6th of this year I received a call from Mr. Len Gordan indicating that he did not feel that we properly addressed the " Qualification requirements for Lead Auditors and audit team" in our January 21, 1991 response to your additional information request of December 21, 1990.
Attached are six copics of a r vised " AUDIT" section #18 of our Packaging QA plan (DOCKET #71-0109). The revision, identified by a vertical line in the right margin, should, we feel, adequately address the concerns that Mr. Gordan expressed on February 6,1991.
I apologize for not trying to address this concern earlier but, as you may be aware, our reactor and hot lab processing facilities have been shut down since early in 1990 and we have been involved in numerous tasks associated with our pending decommissioning plan approval.
