Letter dated July 19, 1993, from Mr. R. Beedle to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission transmitting the 1993 Annual Final Safety Analysis Report Update We received your annual update of the Quality Assurance Program description for the James A. FitzPatrick plant transmitted in the above referenced 10 CFR 50.71 submittal. The i Region 1 staff has reviewed this submittal in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a). We observed that your submittal only identified the changes made to your Quality Assurance Program. Future transmittals should identify the changes made to your Quality Assurance Program, the reason for the change, and the basis for concluding that the revised program i continues to satisfy Appendix B of 10 CFR 50 as required by 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3). Based on this review, we determined that the changes to the Quality Assurance Program are acceptable in that the Quality Assurance Program continues to satisfy the criteria of Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50. The effectiveness of your Quality Assurance Program and procedure implementation will continue to be the subject of routine regional inspections. 9312090008 931201 PDR ADOCK 0500033_a PDR p i ) ( -. ~..

These procedures, as applicable, shall provide for the unique identification of items by serial numbers, part number or other appropriate means. The identification shall be placed on the item whenever practical and shall not degrade the quality or function of the item or on records directly and readily traceable to the item. Verification of identification shall be accomplished at appropriate stages throughout manufacturing, shipment, receipt and installation. The program provides measures which assure that traceability of items to records, which will verify conformance of the materials, parts and compon-ents to specified requirements (e.g. chemical and physical properties,
- tests, inspections, etc.),
shall be provided from initial receipt of materials to installation, use, testing, and throughout the life of the item during operation, modification and repair. For consumable items trace-ability requirements shall be met by documentation which indicates that only acceptable materials have been used. The operating organization will identify and maintain control of materials, parts and components at the plant in accordance with approved written procedures which conform to the Authority's Quality Assurance program. 17.2.8.2 Authority Controls The Authority will perform planned and periodic audits of delegated organi-zations to verify program implementation in accordance with approved QA Program requirements. 17.2.9 CONTROL OF SPECIAL PROCESSES 17.2.9.1 ceneral Description The Authority's Quality Assurance program requires that special processes be adequately controlled. unique manuf acturing, inspection or test A special process is defined as a process where the assessment of quality by direct inspection of the process or product is disadvantageous or impractical after the operation is complete.
