Dear Mr. Johnson:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON RESAR SP/90 As a result of our ongoing review of the RESAR SP/90 application, we require additional information in order to complete our review of the quality assurance aspects of the design and design verifiestion of the plant.
Enclosed are review questions Q 260.1 - 260.33.
The basis for the review was Part 17.1 of the Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800, Rev. 2, July 1981). Although Part 17.1 is titled, "Quality Assurance During the Design and Construction Phases," our review was limited to design and design verification, recognizing that some of the design verification could be done by test.
Thus, in addition to the control of engineering design and its related procedures, calculations, and documentation, the review addressed quality assurance activities such as y
procurement control, control of special processes, inspection, test control, nonconformance control, and M&TE control for test articles.
The staff has concluded that these issues should be resolvable during the PDA i
phase of the review. We propose a meeting be set up between the NRC and Westinghouse to discuss these issues in order to resolve them prior to issuance of the final SER.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, l
call me at (301) 492-1120.
9 Sincerely,

(1A5) 260.3 Describe provisions for resolving disputes involving quality which result from a difference of opinion between quality assurance personnel.and personnel from other departments / divisions.
(185) 260.4 Describe measures which ensure that designated quality assurance individuals are involved in day-to-day SP/90 activities important to safety (that is, the quality assurance organization routinely attends and sarticipates in work schedule and status meetings to assure they are (ept abreast of work assignments and that there is adequate quality assurance coverage relative to procedural and inspection controls, acceptance criteria, and quality assurance staffing and qualification of personnel to carry out quality assurance assignments).
(186) 260.5 Describe the scope of the Westinghcuse quality assurance program.
(2A1) 260.6 Provide a commitment in the RESAR SP/90 SAR that Westinghouse will meet the latest NRC-accepted version of WCAP-8370. Also, update the commitnent in Table 17.1 to the latest revision of Regulatory Guide 1.28.
(2B3) 260.7 Identify Westinghouse procedures reflecting that quality assurance regulatory guides, general design criterion 1 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR Part 50 Subsection 50.55(a), and each criterion of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B will be met by documented procedures.
260.8 Provide a summary description of how responsibilities and control of quality-related activities will be transferred from Westinghouse to the licensee during the phasecut of design.
