MEETING
SUMMARY
- V. C. SUMMER This refers to the meeting conducted at your request at the NRC Region II Office in Atlanta, Georgia on November 16, 1993. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Summer's plant status and current issues, its engineering training /qualifica. ion program and organization changes, and the direction and i
initiatives engineering plans.
It is our opinion that this meeting was beneficial in that it provided us with a better understanding of the licensee's engineering organizations, their i
respective responsibilities, goals and initiatives planned.

EXAMPLE: Excerpt from 1984 letter to Colt as a result of audit identified discrepancies.
j Colt is expected to:
q
" Establish procedures for performing the dedication of Essentialto Function parts in accordance with the means of dedication as determined by engineering."
The letter further stated that:
"The term dedication as used in our previous conversations and in the items listed above is defined as: the process whereby systems, i
i components, parts or services are transformed from unqualified commercial status to quality i
verified and traceable status for use in Nuclear Safety Related applications. This dedication confirms the correct form, fit and function for the application."
