IA' ~' K U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Revision 2 October 1976 REGULATORY GUIDE OFFICE OF STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT REGULATORY GUIDE 1.88 COLLECTION, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT QUALITY ASSURANCE RECORDS A. INTRODUCTION Criterion XVII, "Quality Assurance Records," of Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, "Licensing of Production and Utiliza- tion Facilities," requires, in part, that, consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, the applicant es- tablish requirements concerning record retention, such as duration, location, and assigned respon- sibility. This guide describes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Commission's regulations with regard to collection, storage, and maintenance of quality assurance records for all types of nuclear power plants. The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards has been consulted concerning this guide and has concurred in the regulatory posi- tion. *- B. DISCUSSION Working Group N45-2.9 of the American National Standards Committee N45, Reactor Plants and Their Maintenance, has prepared a standard that provides general requirements and guidelines for the collec- tion, storage, and maintenance of quality assurance records for nuclear power plants. This standard was approved by Subcommittee N45-2, Nuclear Quality Assurance Standards, of the American National Standards Committee N45 and the full committee and its Secretariat. It was subsequently approved and designated N45.2.9-1974' by the American National Standards Institute on June 6. 1974. *Lines indicate substantive changes from previous issue.
