Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977) requires suppliers to be e
evaluated annually. This submittal replaces the annual supplier evaluation
. with an ongoing supplier evaluation process.
ANSI N45.2.23-1978 requires an auditor to participate in a minimum of five (5) audits prior to certification as a lead auditor. This submittal recognizes the performance attributes required for an individual to be considered for lead auditor certification. This performance based approach to lead auditor certification may require more than, or less than five (5) audits for certification.
The Manager, Corporate Quality Assurance previously reported to the Vice l
President, Nuclear and now reports to the Manager, Regulatory Performance. to this submittal discusses the identification of changes in the QAPD, the reasons for the changes, and states the basis for concluding that the program continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. to this submittal is a mark-up of ()FSAR Chapter 13.1, " Conduct of Operations" which reflects the current organizational structure and incorporates changes since the previous 10 CFR 50.71(e) submittal.
These three changes will be incorporated into Revision 17 of the IES Utilities Inc.
QAPD as part of the next UFSAR update in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e).
