" Equivalent ASME B&PV Code Class"

Reference:

K. Peveler (lES) to S. Collins (NRC), " Reporting of Changes to the Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD), UFSAR 17.2", NG-97-0885, May 16,1997 File: A-116, A-365, Q-98

Dear Mr. Collins:

This letter is provided in follow-up to the referenced submittal of the Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) and a conference call held with the NRC staff on May 27, 1998.

The referenced submittal included a revision to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Table 3.2-1, where the " Equivalent ASME B&PV Code Class" column for the Emergency Service Water Piping classification was changed from a "3" to " ". This ,

change in classification was questioned by the staff during their review. Further review  !

by DAEC staff has determined that the " Equivalent ASME B&PV Code Class" column is  !

not used, and is an "Information Only" column as defined by footnote "h" in UFSAR l Table 3.2-1. I I

Mr. Samuel J. Collins NG-98.0972 June 11,1998 Page 2 0f 2 The application of the QAPD is driven by the UFSAR Table 3.2-1 columns of" Quality Group Class" and " Quality Assurance Requirements." Furthermore, the design requirements for the. structures, systems and components are driven by the " Code Class" and " Construction Code" columns.

Therefore, UFSA.R Table 3.2-1 will be revised to eliminate the " Equivalent ASME B&PV Code Class" column in our next UFSAR update, scheduled for November of 1998.

Sincerely,
