50-298 Pr. (My Nuclear Power Group Monager Nebraska Public Power District P.O. Box 499 Columbus, Nebraska 68602-0499
Dear Mr. Horn:
SUBJECT: MEETING WITH NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT (NPPD) ON COMMERCIAL GRADE DEDICATION ISSUES As you are aware, we are currently reviewing our positions on commercial grade item (CGI) dedication as a result of industry comments following our recent pilot inspections in this area. A major component of our review is meeting with several licensees to identify and gain insights into specific areas of differing interpretations of stated positions and to identify areas in which additional clarifications or relaxations of NRC positions may be appropriate.
On February 3,1993, we met with Mr. Whitman and other members of NPPD's Quality and Procurement Engineering staff at NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland as one part of this activity.
We believe that this meeting provided valuable information to aid in our ongoing review. We found NPPD's presentation, including the summary of your views on the NRC's CGI dedication positions, especially helpful in better understanding the user's perspective on these issues.
The open discussions during this meeting were productive and helped to clarify several apparent misunderstandings concerning the interpretation of our stated positions. We are evaluating your written comments on specific issues including reasonable assurance, Appendix B equivalency, and failure modes and effects analyses.
In the near future, we will be issuing for public comment NRC inspection guidance and holding a public workshop on CGI dedication activities. We will consider your comments in this guidance.
During the February 3 meeting, we also discussed actions that you have taken at Cooper Nuclear Station to address the generic weaknesses and the specific concerns related to dedication of certain CGIs, as identified in our Inspection Report No. 50-298/92-201.
Based on the information that was presented, it appears that these issues have been satisfactorily resolved.
