Subject:

Yankee Atomic Electric Company Operational Quality Assurance Program (YOQAP-I-A), Rev. 28 Enclosed for your information is Revision 28 of YOQAP-I-A. This revision addresses clarifications and updates to our Quality Assurance Program for Yankee (Reference (a)) and Vennont Yankee (Reference (b)).

An evaluation has been performed on these changes to determine if any requirements in the previously NRC-approved QA Program were deleted or made less efTective, and thereby constitute a reduction of commitments. This evaluation also evaluated the revised program against the criteria contained within 10CFR50, Appendix B.

The clarifications and organizational changes do not constitute a reduction in commitments and continue to satisfy the criteria of 10CFR, Part 50, Appendix B. (See Attachment A for a description of all changes.)

The exception toVermont Yankee's alternative to Regulatory Guide 1.26 is not considered a reduction in safety and is intended to improve the overall documentation of the program.
