Dear Mr. Boyd:

Re: St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 2 fQ r

Docket No. 50-389 Qualit Assurance Pro ram The Florida Power & Light Company Topical Quality Assurance Report (FPLTQAR 1-76A) describes a generic Quality Assurance Program for all existing and future nuclear generating stations at Florida Power & Light. This report, has been reviewed by the Nuclear Regula-tory Commission and has received its approval. Our intent to ul-timately apply the Topical QA Report. to St. Lucie Unit No. 2 has been stated in the report, and the desirability of doing this has been expressed previously by members of your staff. Xn accordance with our policy of utilizing the Topical QA Report where appropriate, we are herewith submitting a reformat of the Quality Assurance Pro-gram description for QA activities during design, construction and operation for St. Lucie Unit No. 2'PSL-2).

The PSL-2 Quality Assurance Program is described in the attachment to this letter, which specifically add'resses details applicable only to PSL-2,'and the Topical .Quality Assurance Report (FPLTQAR 1-76A). Xn combination, these documents are .responsive to the "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," and are, therefore, being implemented in place of the existing information in Chapter 17 of the PSL-2 Preliminary Safety Analysis Report. As described below, this represents an aug-mentation of the existing program for PSL-2. These documents will be incorporated by reference 'into Chapter 17 of the PSL-2 Final Safety Analysis Report.

Xt is FPL's policy to have direct control of quality-related activities where possible. 'In keeping with this policy, we had previously assumed control of the audit, inspection, and verifica-tion functions on site in the area of construction. This increased responsibility was determined to be satisfactory to =the NRC staff as discussed in Supplement 1 to the St. Lucie Unit, 2 Safety Evaluation Report. Florida Power & Light is now additionally assuming direct responsibility for all. site construe'tion activities,-'with the exception of design engineering and craft labor relations which'ill continue to be the responsibility of Ebasco Services,, Xnc.

j. Audits.

During construction, the FPL Quality Assurance Department is.

responsible for conducting an audit program as specified in

'XQR 18.0 of the FPLTQAR including the audit of all on-site quality related activities.

UALITY ASSURANCE DURING THE OPERATIONS PHASE The generic elements of the FPL Quality Assurance Program are described in the FPL Topical Quality Assurance Report (FPLTQAR) . The Topical QA Report defines departmental responsibilities by which FPL implements the Corporate QA Program, and is an integral part of the Corporate Quality Assurance Manual (FPL-NQA-100).

The Topical Quality Assurance Report is, therefore, referenced by this letter, and only information which is in addition to that found in the Topical QA Report is contained herein.

1.0 ORGANIZATION The FPL organizational structure, including the Plant Manager, is described in the FPL Topical Quality Assurance Report (TQR 1.0). Ihe St. Lucie Unit 2 Plant staff organization below the Plant Manager 'is shown in Figure 4 attached.

Plant Manager The Plant Manager has the direct responsibility for implementing Quality Assurance requirements for the Power Resources Department at the St.

Lucie Unit 2 Plant.

uality Control Supervisor Thh Plant Quality Control Supervisor is responsible for planning and administering .the Plant Quality Control Program which comprises inspection, monitoring, and surveillance of quality-related Power Resources activities on site.

Lines of communication between the Quality Control Supervisor and the plant staff have not been indicated in Figure 4 because the Quality

Control Supervisor'has the authority and freedom to communicate with all levels of the plant staff and line management involved with activities affecting the quality of nuclear safety-related structures, systems, E

and components; The Quality Control Supervisor reports to the Plant I

Manager and has sufficient authority to stop nonconforming work or operations.

Additional responsibilities of the Quality Control Supervisor include:

a) providing guidance in the interpretation of federal regulations related to the Quality Assurance Program, and

, provide guidance in other administrative requirements involving quality assurance activities; b) serving as the plant interface with the Quality Assurance Department and Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors; c) tracking plant nonconformances, inspection and audit open items; d) advising plant management, including the Plant Manager if necessary, of the need for timely corrective action; e) maintaining adequate records of quality-related site activities; f) and distributing and controlling plant procedures, instructions,:

and approved drawings.

Plant Quality Control Department engineers and inspectors receive functional and administrative direction from the Quality Control Supervisor. In addition to members of the Quality Control Department, experienced individuals in other plant departments who are qualified and certified as Quality Control inspectois, may function in a Quality Control role. When so functioning, the individuals do not perform or directly supervise the performance of, the activity being inspected.

16.0 CORRECTIVE ACTXON The controls which assure timely corrective action of open items identified by the Quality Assurance Department, and unresolved items and items of non-compliance identified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, are described in the PPL Topical Quality Assurance Report (TQR 16.0).

Plant corrective action tracking of nonconformance and audit or inspection open items, including items identified during Plant Quality Gontrol inspections, are documented and tracked in accordance with Plant Administrative Procedures. These Administrative Procedures require that Quality. Gontrol inspections are performed, using inspection forms or checklists approved by the Quality Control Supervisor, with inspection results reported to the Quality Control Supervisor.

Open items against the Plant, from all inspection sources, are tracked by the Plant Quality Control Department:, which transmits periodic status reports of all open items to the Plant Manager and Plant personnel responsible for corrective action. In addition, Plant Quality Control performs open item follow-up activities to obtain corrective action commitments and obtain the status of open commitments. This tracking activity does not end until the corrective action committed to, has been accomplished.
