Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 South Texas Project Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. STN 50-498 and STN 50-499 Report of Changes Made to Quality Assurance Program for Radioactive Material Packages
Reference:
Letter, P. Silva (USNRC) to D. L. Koehl, "Revised Quality Assurance Program Approval Form for Radioactive Material Packages No. 0645, Revision 5," dated August 28, 2015 (ML15245A285)
In accordance with 10CFR 71.1 (a), 10CFR 71.106(b), and the above referenced letter, STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) hereby submits a report of changes to the STPNOC Quality Assurance (QA) Program for Radioactive Material Packages (No. 0654, Revision 5) approved on August 28, 2015. The changes to the STPNOC QA Program for Radioactive Material Packages are documented in STPNOC procedure OPGP03-ZR-0053, "Radioactive Material Control Program," Revision 20, Effective 3/05/2018.
Attached is a summary of the changes to the subject procedure made since August 17, 2017.
The attachment documents that the changes are non-substantive in nature, involving administrative items and editorial type clarifications. The changes do not reduce commitments in the STPNOC QA Program for Radioactive Material Packages.
There are no commitments in this letter.
If there are any questions regarding this matter, please contact Ali Albaaj at (361) 972-8949 or me at (361) 972-8168.
