This attachment responds to the NRC reviewer's comments regarding the IP Nuclear Program Quality Assurance Manual, Revision 25 submittal dated January 26,1995 (IP letter U-602397).

(1) Chapter 4, Section 4.3.5.a, in Revision 24 states that the Nuclear i Assessment (NA) organization has responsibility to " review and approve" supplier quality assurance programs. In *.he Revision 25 submittal, the ,

language was changed to state that NA has the responsibility to " evaluate" ,

supplier QA programs. The NRC reviewer commented that an organization responsible for the " approval" function should be identified. -

IP agreed to restore the " approve" language to Section 4.3.5.a. See l Attachment 2 of this letter for changed page 3 of 3, Chapter 4.

l (2) Chapter 7, Section 7.3.3.b, in Revision 24 states that the Nuclear Support Services (NSS) organization has the responsibility for providing materials l for receipt inspection to " qualified inspectors." In the Revision 25 submittal, the term " qualified inspectors" was not used when the section was changed to state that NSS has the responsibility to perform receipt '

inspection of materials or e quipment. The NRC reviewer commented that the section should state that the inspectors are qualified. IP agreed to -

restore the "qaalified inspector" language. See Attachment 2 of this letter for changed page 4 of 4, Chapter 7.

(3) Chapter 8, Section 8.3.4, in Revision 24 states that NA has the responsibility to conduct surveillances and audits of the identification and control ofitems. This section was inadvertently deleted from Revision 25.

The NRC reviewer noted that the section had been deleted and requested r the rationale for doing so. IP agreed to restore the inadvertently deleted  ;

section. See Attachment 2 of this letter for changed pages 1 of 3,2 of 3, and 3 of 3, Chapter 8. ,
