SUBJECT:
Calvert Ci4Ts Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos. i & 2: Docket Nos.50 317 & 50-318 Proposed Chance to Ouality Assurance Procram Gentlemen:
l l
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3), Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BO&E) hereby requests approval of a proposed change to the Quality Assuranca (QA) Program for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos. I and 2. The proposed change would revise Section IB.1, Corporate Organization and Specific Responsibilities pages 5 and 9 of 55, of the Quality Assurance Policy. We propose to change the program as reaccted in the description shown on the attachment. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approvalis required prior to implementation of this change since the change can be viewed as constituting a reduction in the quality assurance program commitments as l
previously accepted. This portion of the program is also described in the Updated Final Sa cty r
Analysis Report (UFSAR), Chapter IB, Section 1, and Chapter 12, Section 5. 'Ihe UFSAR will be I
revised as part of the annual update.
The proposed change will give the Industry Operating Experience Review (IOER) Unit the responsibility for evaluating industry events for their applicability at Calvert Cliffs and dissolve the Plant Operating Experience Assessment Committee (POEAC) which currently - has that responsibility. The IOER Unit members have a diverse background in nuclear energy production related fields. They will work full time on evaluating industry events to provide better ownership and a more focussed review of individual issues. This change is designed to improve our review of Industry Operating Experience and was described in the BG&C Performance Improvement Plan,
-which has been provided to the NRC for resiew. Issues identified will be processed using Issue Reports which are part of a corrective action system at Calvert Cliffs. For the past year, IOER has screened industry information and presented their results to POEAC.
Their results have demonstrated that IOER can effectively identify and coordinate required responses without committee review. Their results have also demonstrated an improved timeliness in action.
Considering the above information, we conclude that the propw,:d change to our Quality Assurance Program will increase the effectiveness of the process for evaluating industry events for their applicability at Calvert Cliffs. Plant operation n accordance with the proposed change would continue to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. The Calvert Cliffs Off Site Safety Review Committee reviewed this proposed change ar d on Ma

i Document Control Desk June 12,1992 Page 2 the proposed change does not constitute a significant safety hazard.11ccause substitution of the full-time IOER Unit for the current committee method of handling industry operating event evaluation could be considered a reduction in the quality assurance program commitments as previously l
acce pted, NRC approval is requested. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, we will
-l be p: cased to discuss thern with you.
Very truly yours,
