The need for' improving procurement practices in the nuclear-industry is' recognized by PSE&G.
However, we feel that present regulations are adequate if fully implemented and therefore further rulemaking is not needed at this time.
Further, the following industry initiatives are underway and should be permitted to nrture before deciding to proceed with new rulemaking:
NUMARC Nuclear Plant Equipment Procurement Working l
Group formed in September 1988 to recommend changes in procurement practices for improvement.
EPRI/NCIG issuance of " Guideline for the Utilization of Commercial Grade Items in Nuclear Safety Related Applications" in June 1988.
ASME Nuclear Quality Assurance Committee approved an i
L action in April 1989 to consider appropriate revisions to ANSI Standard NQA-1 " Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Facilities" to include certain aspects of the evaluation and acceptance of commercial grade items not currently addressed.
