Enclo0uro 1 ULNRC- 1212 November 18, 1985 Page 1 of 2 SAFETY EVALUATION This amendment request revises Callaway Technical Specification Figure 6.2-1, Figure 6.2-2 and Section 6.5.1.2 to reflect the Nuclear Function Quality Assurance organizational changes associated with the establishment of a new corporate Quality Systems Department. The Quality Systems Department will implement a quality improvement process on a corporate basis, assist various corporate functions in developing and implementing quality services programs, and be responsible for the quality assurance activities of the Nuclear Function. Nuclear Quality Assurance Division revisions reflect changes in personnel assign-monts and in paths of reporting relationships. Figure 6.2-1 is revised tot doloto the position of Assistant Manager, Quality Assurance; to indicate that the Manager, Quality Assurance reports to the newly created position of General Manager, Quality Systems; to show that the Manager, QA is located at the Callaway sito; to indicate that the Manager, QA is assisted by staff permanently located onsite and staff located at the general office building; and, finally, to show that the General Manager, Quality Systems has a direct path to the Vice President, Nuclear on all quality assurance matters. The General Manager, Quality Systems and the Vice President, Nuclear report to the Executivo Vice President. Figure 6.2-2 is revised to show that the Manager, QA is located onsite and reports to the General Manager, Quality Systems located offsito. In addition, the Manager, QA has direct access to the Manager, callaway Plant on all quality assurance matters. Technical Specification section 6.5.1.2 is revised to indicato that quality assurance membership on the Onsite Review Committen is held by the Superintendent-Operations Support, QA.

These organizational changes were made to enhance tho i offectiveness and capability of the Union Electric Quality I Assurance Program. While the reviolons represent changes in reporting relationships, they do not represent a chango in organizational commitments. While personnel assignments are changed, the revisions do not reduce commitments to minimum qualifications. The location of the Manager, QA at the sito does not negatively impact the Quality Assuranco Program. The Quality Assurance Division has more personnel onsito than in the general offico, and the physical distance (approximately two hours by automobile) is not prohibitive for the frequent prosence of the Manager, QA at both the oito and the general offico. Two site Superintendent positions will offectively replace the former Assistant Manager, QA position. This change will increano quality assuranco management resourcos and at the same time offer promotional and career path options to enhanco personnel roton-tion and experience. The two site Superintendents will meet the samo minimum qualification requirements as the former Assistant Manager, QA. The site QA staff previously reported via threo

, ULNRC- 1212 November 18, 1985 Page 2 of 2 Supervising Engineers and one QA Supervisor to the Assistan" Manager, QA. The site QA staff will now report via four Supervising Engineers to the two Superintendents who report directly to the Manager, QA. The corporate QA staff will report to the Manager, QA through a Superintendent and two Supervising Engineers. Finally, the revisions do not alter the independent reporting paths between the Nuclear Quality Assurance and Nuclear Operations Departments. Under the new organization, the indepen-dence of the Quality Assurance reporting path is enhanced. The Manager, QA previously reported fully and directly to the Vice President, Nuclear. Now, the Manager, QA reports to the General Manager, Quality Systems and has direct access to the Manager, Callaway Plant on all Quality Assurance Program matters. The General Manager, Quality Systems reports to the Executive Vice President and has direct access to the Vice President, Nuclear on all QA Program matters.

This proposed Technical Specification revision provides enhancements to implementation of the Union Electric Quality Assurance Program and does not adversely affect or endanger the health or safety of the general public nor involve an unroviewed safety question.

Enclocuro 2 ULNRC- 1212 November 18, 1985 SIGNIFICANT IIAZARDS CONSIDERATION This amendment request revisos callaway Technical Specification Figure 6.2-1, Figure 6.2-2 and Section 6.5.1.2 to reflect Nuclear Function Quality Assurance organizational changes associated with the establishment of a new corporato Quality Systems Department. The details of the now organization are presented in the Safety Evaluation to this amondment request.

The results of the Safety Evaluation conclude that while l

personnel assignments are revised and reporting relationships are changed, the commitmonts to minimum qualifications and basic organizational reporting requirements aro unchanged. While many of the changes are administrativo in nature, the now organization does provido additional structural controls not presently included in the Technical Specifications.

The Commission has provided guidanco concerning the application of the standards in 10 CPR 50.92 by providing certain examplos (48 FR 14870). One of tho examplos of actions involving .

l no significant hazards consideration relates to a purely adminis- l trativo change to Technical Specifications. Another examplo '

l involving no significant hazards consideration is a change that ,

constitutos an additional limitation, rostriction or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications. I r i Those requests do not involvo a significant increano in the probability or consequence of an accident or other adverso l condition over previous ovaluations; or create the possibility of  ;

( a now or difforont kind of accident or condition over previous ,

! ovaluations; or involvo a significant reduction in a margin of

! safoty. Based on this information, the requestod licence amend-mont does not present a significant hazard.
