Final SE for BQ-TOP-1, Revision 004-Final SE - final.pdf Tamer Rezk Manager of Quality Assurance Bechtel Power Corporation 12011 Sunset Hills Road, Suite 110 Virginia, 20190
Dear Mr. Rezk:
By letter dated June 6, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22158A012), Bechtel Power Corporation (Bechtel) submitted Bechtel Quality Assurance [(QA)] Program for Nuclear Power Plants Topical Report, BQTOP1, 2007 Edition, Revision 004, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval. Bechtel Topical Report BQ-TOP-1, Revision 004, establishes the QA Program requirements for work performed by or for Bechtel on nuclear power plants designed and/or constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulation at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants.
By email dated November8,2022, the NRC staff issued its draft safety evaluation (SE) (ADAMS Accession No. ML22291A466) for proprietary review.
By letter dated February6,2023 (ADAMS Accession No.ML23053A163), Bechtel informed the NRC staff that there was no proprietary information in the draft SE.
The NRC staff has found that the Bechtel QA Program, Revision 004, is acceptable for referencing in licensing applications for nuclear power plants to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in the TR and in the enclosed final SE. The final SE defines the basis for our acceptance of the TR.
Our acceptance applies only to material provided in the subject TR. We do not intend to repeat our review of the acceptable material described in the TR. When the TR appears as a reference in license applications, our review will ensure that the material presented applies to the specific plant involved. License amendment requests that deviate from this TR will be subject to a plant-specific review in accordance with applicable review standards.
In accordance with the guidance provided on the NRC website, we request that Bechtel publish an accepted version of QA Program, Revision004, within three months of receipt of this email.
The approved versions shall incorporate this letter and the enclosed final SE after the title page.
The accepted version shall include an A (designating accepted) following the TR identification symbol.
If future changes to the NRCs regulatory requirements affect the acceptability of this TR, Bechtel will be expected to revise the TR appropriately. Licensees referencing this TR would be expected to justify its continued applicability or evaluate their plant using the revised TR.
