SUBJECT:

FINAL SAFETY EVALUATION FOR WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY TOPICAL REPORT QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS),

REVISION 8.0 (EPID L-2020-TOP-0022)

Dear Ms. Zozula:

By letter dated April 27, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20118C994), Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) submitted to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Topical Report (TR) Quality Management System (QMS), Revision 8.0. By letter dated April 30, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20120A538), the NRC issued its request for additional information questions. By letter dated May 5, 2020, the NRC issued its draft safety evaluation (SE) for the TR Quality Management System (QMS), Revision 8.0. By letter dated May 7, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20129K029) Westinghouse provided comments on the draft SE.

The enclosed final SE addresses the applicability of the TR Quality Management System (QMS), Revision 8.0.

The NRC staff has found that Quality Management System (QMS), Revision 8.0, is acceptable for referencing in licensing applications to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in the TR and the enclosed SE.

According to the guidance provided on the NRC website, we request that Westinghouse publish accepted proprietary and non-proprietary versions of these TRs within three months timeframe after non-proprietary version of this final SE is issued by NRC.

The accepted versions shall incorporate this letter and the enclosed final SE after the title page.

Also, they must contain historical review information, including NRC RAI questions and your responses. The accepted versions shall include an "-A" (designating accepted) following the TRs identification symbol.

As an alternative to including the RAI questions and RAI responses behind the title page, if changes to the TRs were provided to the NRC staff to support the resolution of RAI responses, and the NRC staff reviewed and approved those changes as described in the RAI responses, there are two ways that the accepted version can capture the RAI questions:

1. The RAI questions and RAI responses can be included as an appendix to the accepted version.

C. Zozula 2. The RAI questions and RAI responses can be captured in the form of a table (inserted after the final SE) which summarizes the changes as shown in the approved version of the TRs.

The table should reference the specific RAI questions and RAI responses which resulted in any changes, as shown in the accepted version of the TRs.

If future changes to the NRCs regulatory requirements affect the acceptability of this TR, Westinghouse will be expected to revise the TR appropriately or justify its continued applicability for subsequent referencing. Licensees referencing this TR would be expected to justify its continued applicability or evaluate their plant using the revised TR.

Sincerely,

/RA/
