UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 23, 2020 Mr. Robert D. Quinn Nuclear Material Management, Director Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC 1000 Westinghouse Drive Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania 16066

SUBJECT:

APPROVAL OF WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY, LLC TOPICAL REPORT, QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS), REVISION 8

Dear Mr. Quinn:

By letter dated April 27, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20118C994), Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC),

requested approval of a proposed change to its Quality Management System (QMS) topical report (TR). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested additional information (ADAMS Accession No. ML20120A538) to clarify the proposed changes, WEC provided a supplemental submittal (ADAMS Accession No. ML20125A085) to include additional modifications to the QMS TR. Subsequently, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Division of Reactor Oversight, Quality Assurance and Vendor Inspection Branch staff, reviewed WECs submittal and determined that the quality assurance program described in QMS TR, Revision 8 meets the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and was, therefore, acceptable (ADAMS Accession No. ML20132A321).

In addition, WEC also requested NRC review and approval to apply the program to 10 CFR Parts 71 and 72 activities in accordance with 10 CFR 71.101(f) and 10 CFR 72.140(d),

respectively. Enclosed is the Quality Assurance (QA) Program Approval for Radioactive Material Packages No. 0708, Revision No. 9. This approval satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 71.17(b) and 71.101(c) for a QA Program approved by the NRC, as well as, approval of those changes to your quality assurance program that are considered reductions in commitments to the NRC prior to implementation as required by 10 CFR 71.106. Termination of your materials license does not cause this approval to be automatically terminated. If you wish to amend this approval and have determined it reduces commitment, or would like to terminate this approval, please request it in writing.

This letter also serves as a reminder that if you are using or planning to use an NRC-approved packaging, you must be registered for use of that packaging with NRC. Registration for use of NRC-approved packagings should be made pursuant to 10 CFR 71.17(c)(3).

D. Quinn In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

If you have any questions, please contact me at Leira.Cuadrado@nrc.gov or Earl Love at Earl.Love@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, for Leira Cuadrado, Chief Inspection and Oversight Branch Division of Fuel Management Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket No.: 71-0708
