==SUBJECT:==
Grand Gu?.f ::: clear Station File 0272/0490/0491/15020 GGNS Tech Specs. 6.5.2.8 AECM-82/225 As a result of recent telephone discussion between your Mr. J. Gilray, Mr. Beneuict of Licensee Qualification Branch and MP&L's Mr. W. Edge and I, MP&L is submitting the following interpretation of the Grand Gulf Technical Specification Section 6.5.2.8.
Technical Specification 6.5.2.8 begins: " Audits of unit activities shall be performed under the cognizance of the SRC. These audits shall encompass: ... ."                          MP&L interprets these words as follows:
                                          "The SRC shall review the results of audits (or summaries thereof) of nuclear activities conducted in accordance with the MP&L Operational Quality Assurance Manual. Audits shall be conducted and results (summaries) shall be reviewed in the areas of: ..."
It is MP&L's understanding that the NRC does not choose to allow MP&L or other licensees to modify the Standard Technical Specification wording in 6.5.2.8, but does allow for the above type of interpretation.
Unless notified to the contrary, MP&L intends to implement the stated interpretation (as we have stated) immediately. Further MP&L intends to submit a change in Revision 3 to the MP&L QA Topical Report (MPL-TOP-1A) to state this interpretation and seek " formal" NRC acceptance.
                                                                                                                                    'Bobl 4                              0    hf6 PDR Member Middle South Utilities System
