SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (NEDO-11209-A, REVISION 16)
Dear Mr.Gerdes:
By letter dated July 29, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20211L779), GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) submitted for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staffs review, proposed Revision 16 to NEDO-11209-A, Revision 15, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.4(b)(7)(ii).
Subsequently, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Division of Reactor Oversight, Quality Assurance and Vendor Inspection Branch staff reviewed GEHs submittal and determined that the quality assurance program described in the QAPD meets the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and was, therefore, acceptable (ADAMS Accession No. ML20314A122).
Enclosed is the Quality Assurance (QA) Program Approval for Radioactive Material Packages No. 0254, Revision No. 12. 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 renew, amend, or 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).
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.
