SUBJECT:
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS), REVISION 2
Dear Mr. Liparulo:
j We have completed our review of the proposed Revision 2 to the Westinghouse Energy Systems I
Business Unit (ESBU) Quality Management System (QMS) quality assurance topical report submitted by letter dated February 20,1997. QM3, Revision 2, describes the Westinghouse quality assurance program and attendant commitments to address the requirements of both 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and the intemational Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001. The revision primarily described the recent ESBU organizational changes in Seetion 1.0, Management Responsibility. Several other changes were delineated in Revision 2 including:
1.
A description of the quality commitments for ESBU and the Westinghouse Pensacola l
Plant (WPP), and an amendment to include the Process Control Division (PCD) and the Govemment Technical Services Division (GTSD).
2.
A generic organization description and clarification of the duties and responsibilities of the ESBU Quality Systems Director.
3.
The QMS was updated to include the requiraments of the 1994 revision of ISO 9001.
Your original QMS, Revision 2, submittal was supplemented by a second submittal dated April 1,1997 that, in response to a March 25,1997 telephone conference with the staff, provided clarification pages to address issues of independence of engineering design reviewers in Sections 4.1, Design Control; an explicit statement requiring approval of design inputs for adequacy by engineering organizations in Section 4.3, Design input; amended wording to remove the conditional phrase "as applicable" from Section 9.1, Process Control; and corrected
/,
typographical errors regarding paragraph and page numbering. A page replacement submittal J
was also provided by facsimile on March 27,1997.
Based on our review of the information provided, we have concluded that QMS, Revision 2, 947[
continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and can be utilized to control the quality ofitems and services provided by Westinghouse ESBU, the Pensacola Plant, the Process Control Division, and the Govemment Technical Services Division, gg y) On N A NRC HLE CENTER COPY 9704160042 970410 9
