SUBJECT:

Q.A. Program Used in the Transport of Radioactive Materials for The Ohio State University Research Reactor Docket #71-0680

Dear Mr. Gordon:

Based on conversations between you and Richard Myser of the OSURR, we have revised our Q.A. Plan based on Regulatory Guide 7.10.

It is our understanding from your conversation of June 13, 1989 that the applicable sections of Annex 2 of the above Guide for the OSURR QA Program are as follows:

2.1 Organization

~

2.2 Q.A. Program (Scope) 2.4 Procurement Document Control 2.5 Instructions, Procedures, Drawings 2.10 Inspection Control 2.13 Handling, Storage, and Shipping 2.17 Q.A. Records n

2.18 Audits WearesubmittingitnowwithofficialapprovalfromtheUniversit[

Reactor Operations Committee. After your review and subsequent NRC approval we request that we be registered for a one year period to ship fuel to a DOE Facility using the BMI-1 shipping cask.

If you have questions on this matter please contact Mri Richard Myser at 614/292-6755.

Sincerely, fW hN" Robert F. Redmond Director c.. I. -[. ;,,,:,,,,,, 3 RF s 4

Introduction

.Therc'are two, reasons that a Quality Assurance (Q.A.) program be l

i b

established.

First'. The 0hio State University Research' Reactor Safety y,

. Analysis Report (9.7 Quality Assurance) requires the establishment and maintenance-of a Q.A. program based on ANS-15.8 (Quality Assurance Program 1

L Requirements lfor Research Reactors).

It is to provide adequate confidence that safety-related items will perform satisfactorily in service.

Second,.

g L

10CFR71.12(B) requires a program approved by'the NRC that meets"the i

l

.. requirements of Subpart H, Quality Assurance, for the Packaging and-Transportation of Radioactive Materials.

It is the second of these that this program" addresses.

It is based on Regulatory' Guide 7.10 Annex 2.

.Certain sections are not: applicable at this time and are so marked.

. Quality. Assurance is maintained by'following good-procedures.

These procedures-are based on NRC Requirements The OSURR Safety-Analysis Report and. Technical Specifications, and the OSU Office of. Radiation Safety Standards. These procedures are reviewed'and approved by the Reactor.

Operations Committee (ROC).

1.

Organization The responsibility for the Q.A. program is' delegated to the Director

of the NRL as shown in. Figure 1, " Administrative. Organization".

His/her designee, normally the Associate Director,'shall be The responsible for the daily implementation of the program.

Reactor Operations Committee has responsibility for independent I

review and audit functions associated with the program.

j The requirements for the allocation of Q.A. responsibilities are given in 10CFR71.103. The responsibilities for the execution of the Q.A. Program are as follows:

A. NRL Director

-1. Establishes Facility's Q.A. policies, goals and

. objectives.

2. Assures implementation of the recommendations contained in the ROC audits of the Q.A. Program.
