SUBJECT:
QUESTIONS RESULTING FROM DQAVT STAFF REVIEW 0F GE TOPICAL REPORT, NED0-30368, "GE PRODUCT DEPARTMENT QUALIFICATION PROGRAM" The subject report has been reviewed for quality assurance (QA) adequacy by the staff of the Quality Assurance Branch, and for equipment qualification (EQ) technical adequacy by the EQ Section of the Vendor Program Branch of the Division of Quality Assurance, Vendor, and Technical Training Center Programs, Office of Inspection and Enforcement.
This review was the culmination of a process of discussions of our various EQ concerns and your proposed resolutions to them over the past year. QA concerns have been resolved by GE's commitment to QA Topical Report NEB 0-11209 (with exceptions noted). The enclosure to this letter formally documents our EQ con-cerns (as areas requiring clarification) as discussed during the review process.
Upon satisfactory resolution of the issues, the staff intends to issue a safety evaluation report (SER) approving NED0-30368.
Sincerely, original signed by:
Brian K. Grimes, Director Division of Quality Assurance, Vendor, and Technical Training Center Programs Office of Inspection and Enforcement

6.
In similarity analyses, what specific technical considerations such as radiation performance, thermal performance, wet electrical performance for various types of equipment will the topical require in considering form, fit, function, process and materials?
For replacement equipment, how will changes in required test environment 7.
severity (e.g., reevaluation for main steam line break conditions) since the original installation be taken into account as well as changes in functional performance requirements due to source term changes or plant modifications?
8.
How will the program ensure that non-identical but qualifiable replacement equipment is suitable for its application under normal operating conditions and how will it address any EQ ramifications of other associated modifications which may be required to make the new component suitable or to make the system compatible?
