Dear Mr. Powers:

We have completed our review of the subject topical report, EMF-1, " Quality Assurance Program for Nuclear Fuels and Services", Revision 29, submitted by your letter of March 19, 1998. Our review included your original information submitted in that letter and additional information provided by your letter dated May 27,1998.

These submittals describe an organizational change within Siemens Power Corporation -

Nuclear Division (SPC-ND) and also address a realignment of the two divisions within Kraftwerk Union (KWU) which are SPC-ND affiliates in the Siemens Nuclear Fuels Business. In addition, revised topical report pages wbmitted with the May 27,1998, letter adequately address com-ments we discussed in confere, e.e calls with you on May 14 and 15,1998. Specific items addressed in this later submittal li clude 1) the qualification requirements for the Manager, Engineering Quality Performance,2) clarification of the relationship between the Global Quality Manager and the affiliate QA Managers,3) the controlling QA programs for the activities per-formed in Europe and those performed in the United States 4) the involvement of the Quality organization in the selection of Sub-Contractors within the Siemens Nuclear Fuels Business, and 5) the conditions for acceptance of your internal audit program which were previously discussed in our January 16,1996 letter to you.

Based on our review of the organizational changes described in these submittals and your addressing of our comments in the May 27,1998, submittal, we have determined that your /

quality assurance program description is acceptable in that it will continue to satisfy the d requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.
