SUBJECT:
MEETING
SUMMARY
FOR JUNE 9, 1993 A meeting was held with Detroit Edison Company-(Deco) representatives and j
members.of the NRC technical and Region III staffs on June 9,21993,ito. discuss proposed changes to Section 6.0 of. the Fermi-2 Technical.-Specifications'.7These" changes were' the result of-discussions held at 'the' Great'. Lakes Quality-.
Assurance-(QA) Managers' Conference in October 1992.
Lynne Goodman of.the Deco staff spearheaded those discussions.
The licensee discussed. current regulatory requirementsifor performance of.
audits including the relative inflexibility of audit scheduling to meet these requirements. The licensee also discussed various options which might improve.-
flexibility to licensees including changes-to the. Technical Specifications (TS) changes to the Regulatory Guides'and;Rulemaking changes. The proposed TS changes:were described using three options ~ of varying degreesLof preference to the licensee.
The. proposed changes'would affect-the QA audit' functions described in Section 6.0.
These changcs would allow the: licensee more flexibility to target problem areas as the focus of QA audits, and maximize the use of existing resources. Although the staff felt the~11censee'sEapproach was.in the right -
direction, at least one of the licensee's: proposals,7 that!of removing all QA
. audit function requirements from Section-6.0:and relocating them to the'.QA Program Manual, was believed.to-be more' than the staff was.willing to approve at this time. :The proposal to relocate audit frequencies from-the Technical
. Specifications to the QA' Program Manual was ' viewed as having' some merit. ' The licensee indicated they would consider the staff's. comments in preparing any-license amendment application. for Fermi-2.
