rdisciplinary reviews of subject matter. c. Qualification levels for plant staff personnel performing review are at least equivalent to those described in Section 4.4 of ANSI N18.1 and ANSI/ANS-3.1 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.8. 35 d. Review activities will be documented and results forwarded to appropriate members of management. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 13.4-6 2. Independent Review Provisions for independent review meet thatthose described in Section 4.3 of 36 ANSI N18.7 (ANS 3.2) and the regulatory position of Regulatory Guide 1.33,37 and the qualification requirements for those performing these reviews meet or exceed those described in Section 4.7 of ANSI/ANS-3.1-1978 and the 38 regulatory position of Regulatory Guide 1.8. 3. Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG) The ISEG performs independent reviews of plant operations in accordance with the guidelines of item I.B.1.C.2.a of NUREG-0660 and item I.B.1.2 of NUREG-0660 and NUREG-0737. 39 a.

Such cases will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. c.
