NRC Administrative Letter 95-06, Relocation of Technical Specification Administrative Controls Related To Quality Assurance, dated December 12, 1995 In response to the NRC request for additional information regarding a proposed change to facility staff qualifications contained in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), Appendix B, Section 5.3.1, Revision 7 (Reference 1), ZionSolutions offers the following information. The proposed change to this QAPP section provided additional detail that the qualifications required to meet ANSI N18.1, "Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," dated March 8, 1971, were contained in implementing procedures. The proposed wording implied that some Zion Nuclear Power Station (ZNPS) staff did not have to meet or exceed the ANSI Ni18.1 training and qualification requirements. The purpose of this letter is to clarify that the ZNPS staff, including Health Physics personnel, shall continue to meet or exceed ANSI N 18.1 training and qualification requirements for decommissioning activities including final status surveys.
ZionSolutions commits to revise the QAPP, Appendix B, Section 5.3.1 at the next revision or during the biennial review, whichever occurs earlier to reflect this clarification.
