Big Rock Point Plant Response to IEIR 85-10 August 30, 1985 NRC recommendctions resulting from unresolved item 155/85010-03 and our response to the same are as follows:
NRC Concern 1.
The licensee should perform an immediate and in depth review to identify any cas where a cancelled NODS is required as a "use" reference.
In those cases, immediate corrective action should be taken.
Response
To date, all NOD Standards have been thoroughly reviewed for references to cancelled NODS. As of August 8, 1985, all sponsors of those N0DS identified above have been contacted both verbally and by memo to delete the obsolete references and to revise their standards accordingly within 30 days. Upon approval of the resultant changes (anticipated to be prior to November 1, 1985), subsequent notices will be sent to all departments / plants to delete the noted references from all department / administrative procedures.
The necessary revisions to remaining LODS which may have been impacted by the additiot. of QA Program requirements from cancelled NODS, and a verification that the Big Rock Point Plant APs include the QA Program requirements of cancelled NODS, will be completed by January 1, 1986.
NRC Concern 2.
The revision to the Quality Assurance Requirements Matrix (QARM) should be given a high priority.
Response
As indicated in discussions with the members of your staff, Consumers Power believes that the QA Program requirements contained in the cancelled NOD Standards are, and continue to be, addressed in the appropriate Big Rock Point APs. However, to provide additional assurance that this is so, the following actions have been or will be taken:
1.
The QARM data for each cancelled NODS will be reviewed by October 1, 1985 and the requirements re-indexed, either to another NODS, or the APs.
2.
A review will be made of the Big Rock Point APs relative to the QA Program requirements identified from the cancelled NODS, to specifically identify the AP which satisfies each of these requirements. This data will be included in the QARM which will be revised by January 1, 1986.

Big Rock Point Plant Response to'IEIR 85-10 August 30, 1985 NRC Concern 3.
The licensee's audit and trending programs should be augmented on a temporary basis to focus on these changes to determine if they have impacted the safety of facility operation.
Response
Each Lead Auditor has been instructed to pay particular attention to deleted NOD Standards as they relate to assigned audit subject matter. The audit teams will verify the inclusion of necessary program requirements in other program documents (ie, Plant Admins, other NODS). This review will be done on a sample basis during the normal cycle of audits for each scheduled audit impacted by a deleted NOD.
These described actions will provide assurance that QA requirements will continue to be properly addressed within the system for administrative controls. In addition to the responses provided here, we would like to discuss these subjects as well as other observations specified in the Inspection Report with representatives of your staff at the NRC Region III office on October 1, 1985 or after at your earliest convenience.
