Subject:
Submittal of NEI 22-03, Draft Revision 0, Nuclear Generation Quality Assurance Program Description Project Number: 689 The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)0F1 provides NEI 22-03, Draft Revision 0, Nuclear Generation Quality Assurance Program Description, for NRC review. NEI 22-03 updates NEI 11-04A to reflect the requirements of ASME NQA-1-2015, Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications, Parts I and II, with specific reference to selected Part III appendices, as identified in this document. ASME NQA-1-2015 is one of the recent NRC-approved regulatory positions for a Quality Assurance Program as referenced in Regulatory Guide 1.28, Quality Assurance Program Criteria (Design and Construction), Revision 5, October 2017. Part IV of this guidance addresses the regulatory positions delineated in RG 1.28, Revision 5.
Operational criteria and other related quality positions in this guidance are as referenced in the Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800). NEI has developed this guidance for use in developing an applicant-specific QAPD required for use by early site permit (ESP) and combined license (COL) applicants.
Development of this program description will assure a consistent approach to the preparation of Quality Assurance Programs for ESP and COL applications in accordance with NRC requirements and guidance. Such an approach will reduce industry and NRC resource burden associated with the development, review, and approval of ESP and COL applications.
1 The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) is responsible for establishing unified policy on behalf of its members relating to matters affecting the nuclear energy industry, including the regulatory aspects of generic operational and technical issues. NEIs members include entities licensed to operate commercial nuclear power plants in the United States, nuclear plant designers, major architect and engineering firms, fuel cycle facilities, nuclear materials licensees, and other organizations involved in the nuclear energy industry.
October 17, 2022 Page 2 After resolving any staff comments on this draft, NEI will submit Revision 0 for NRC endorsement.
