U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Haddam Neck Plant Proposed Change to Revision 5 of the Connecticut Yankee Quality Assurance Program (CYQAP)

The purpose of this letter is to request a change, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a), to Revision 5 of the Connecticut Yankee Quality Assurance Program (CYQAP) for the Haddam Neck Plant (HNP). The proposed change involves elimination of commitments to ANSI Standards and Regulatory Guides in various sections. On March 30, 2005, all spent fuel and GTCC Waste was removed from the Spent Fuel Pool and transferred to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at the HNP site. All safety-related Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) have been removed from service and have undergone or are undergoing demolition. Therefore, the current commitments to various ANSI standards and Regulatory Guides are no longer necessary. The only SSCs that remain subject to the CYQAP are ISFSI related. The SSCs related to the ISFSI are categorized as important to safety and are subject to the guidance of Regulatory Guide 7.10, Revision 2, "Establishing Quality Assurance Program for Packaging Used in the Transportation of Radioactive Material". This guidance will be utilized to satisfy the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and the Quality Assurance requirements of 10 CFR 71 and 10 CFR 72.

Since the proposed change involves a reduction in commitment to the current CYQAP, Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) hereby requests NRC review and approval of the proposed change to the CYQAP.

Attachment 1 provides a detailed description and justification of the proposed change including a comparison matrix of Regulatory Guide 7.10. The comparison matrix demonstrates that the provisions included in Regulatory Guide 7.10 have been adequately addressed in the CYQAP and implementing procedures. Attachment 1 also includes a comparison of the eighteen criteria of 10 CFR 71, Subpart H to the CYQAP to demonstrate that these criteria are adequately addressed. Attachment 2 includes a marked-up version of Revision 5 to the CYQAP and a summary of changes. Attachment 3 includes the proposed retyped version of Revision 6 to the CYQAP.

Q 00

Document Control Desk CY-05-152 / Page 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a), CYAPCO will implement proposed Revision 6 to the CYQAP upon approval by the NRC or after 60 days from the date of this letter.

Similar changes have been proposed and approved at the Yankee Atomic Rowe Plant, as documented in letters from the USNRC to Yankee Atomic dated June 20, 2000, and September 27, 2004.

There are no regulatory commitments contained within this letter.

If you should have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. G.

P. van Noordennen at (860) 267-3938.

CY-05-1 52 Docket No. 50-213 Attachment 1 Haddam Neck Plant Proposed Chanae to Revision 5 of the Connecticut Yankee Quality Assurance Program Description and Justification of the Proposed Change to the CYQAP Including a Comparison Matrix of Regulatory Guide 7.10 June 2005

CYQAP CR 05-02 10CFR50.54(a) Evaluation Purpose Evaluate the changes to the CYQAP proposed under Revision 6, CR 05-02, to the Program to determine if these changes require prior NRC approval pursuant to the requirements of 10CFR50.54(a).

Discussion As transfer of all spent fuel to the ISFSI has been completed, there is no longer a need to maintain quality requirements or Quality Assurance Program applicability to the previously defined scope of the CY Quality Assurance Program (CYQAP).

All plant safety-related systems, structures and components have been reclassified as non-safety-related. All applicable Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs), surveillances and administrative requirements, previously found in the Technical Specification Safety Manual, have been transferred to the CYQAP in accordance with License Amendment 201. Activities previously identified in the CYQAP as Augmented Quality activities are now controlled in accordance with applicable programs and procedures.

The quality related activities remaining are those required for decommissioning and activities related to the safe storage of spent fuel and GTCC at the ISFSI.

The CYQAP will remain applicable to these activities.

Similar changes have been proposed and approved at the Yankee Atomic Rowe Plant, as documented in letters from the USNRC to Yankee Atomic dated June 20, 2000, and September 27, 2004.

Evaluation of changes shall be presented on a "Section by Section" basis.

Page 1 of 15

CYQAP CR 05-02 IOCFR50.54(a) Evaluation Evaluation Table of Contents Changes to this Section are editorial in nature to support the proposed changes within the CYQAP. These changes include changing the name of individual parts of the CYQAP from "Chapter" to "Section" and renaming of certain Appendices.

Determination of Impact 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) does not consider quality assurance program changes involving administrative improvements and clarifications, spelling corrections, punctuation, or editorial items, as reductions in commitment. Therefore, the proposed changes may be made without prior approval of the USNRC.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Abstract No changes have been made to this section.

Policy Statement These changes are virtually identical to those which were approved by the USNRC for the Yankee Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program (YDQAP).

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3)(ii). The use of a quality assurance alternative or exception approved by an NRC safety evaluation, provided that the bases of the NRC approval are applicable to the licensee's facility, is acceptable for implementation without prior USNRC approval.

These changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment and may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

Determination of Impact No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

CYQAP CR 05-02 10CFR50.54(a) Evaluation Chapter 1 - Organization Significant changes to this Chapter include:

  • Deletion of the Industry Experience Program
  • Deletion of Director of Nuclear Safety/Regulatory Affairs and UnitIISFSI Manager responsibilities for the Fire Protection Program
  • Transfer of responsibility for Site Closure activities from the Director of Decommissioning to the Director of Project Support Other changes to this section include title changes, typographical corrections, editorial changes and changes in responsibilities or lines of communication.

Determination of Impact The requirements for maintaining an Industry Experience Program are found in 10 CFR 50. The purpose for this Program, as described in regulation, are to ensure that important lessons learned from industry experience are promptly and effectively communicated to those personnel actively engaged in plant design and construction, monitoring and establishing goals for the Maintenance Rule Program, characterizing the functional importance of SSCs, and maintenance of training programs subject to 10CFR50.120 requirements. Connecticut Yankee no longer maintains any safety-related SSCs or engages in the design, construction or monitoring of safety-related SSCs. The requirements of 1OCUR 50.120 are for the training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel.

Although Connecticut Yankee continues to maintain the Part 50 license for the Haddam Neck Plant, a certification of permanent cessation of operations has been issued to the USNRC. All remaining instrumentation associated with the plant and ISFSI is categorized as either non-safety-related or Important to Safety Category C. There are no safety-related or Important to Safety Category A or B SSCs for which periodic or corrective maintenance is required. Similarly, there are no chemistry parameters to be maintained. Any industry experience which might be of value to health physics personnel would be communicated to Connecticut Yankee by the Certificate of Compliance holder for the NAC-MPC system or by the NRC through generic communications. Therefore, the reasons for maintaining an Industry Experience Program are no longer applicable to the Haddam Neck Plant or ISFSI. The deletion of the Industry Experience Program from the CYQAP; however, constitutes a reduction in commitment and may not be implemented except in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4)(iv).

The Fire Protection Program is controlled in accordance with ISFSI procedures and was considered an Augmented Quality Program in previous revisions to the CYQAP. With the deletion of the applicability of the CYQAP to Augmented Quality Programs in Change Request CR-05-01 to the CYQAP, this change is Page 3 of 15

CYQAP CR 05-02 10CFR50.54(a) Evaluation considered editorial in nature. Under the provisions of 10CFR50.54(a)(3), these changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment.

Changes in responsibilities or lines of communication are necessary to properly position the organization for transition from wet to ISFSI storage and complete decommissioning. These changes still reflect appropriate independence where required and the appropriate level of management involvement in quality related activities. These changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment and may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment. These changes may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Chanter 2 - Quality Assurance Program Significant changes to this Chapter include:

  • Deletion of applicability of the CYQAP from Plant safety-related SSCs and related programs
  • Deletion of applicability of the ASME Code and related regulatory guides and standards
  • Decrease in the frequency of the management assessment of the Quality Assurance Program from annually to biennially Other changes to this section include title changes, typographical corrections, and editorial changes.

Determination of Impact With the elimination of all safety-related SSCs, changes associated with the applicability of the ASME Code and related regulatory guides are no longer appropriate. The requirements for maintenance, monitoring and design of the ISFSI are contained in the NAC-MPC Certificate of Compliance and SAR.

Applicability to these SSCs remains as specified in Appendix A of the CYQAP.

These changes, however, constitute a reduction in commitment and may not be implemented except in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR50.54(a)(4)(iv).

The purpose of the annual management assessment is to assess the effectiveness of the QA Program. Past assessments have not had significant findings and have found the QA Program to be adequate and effective in ensuring that activities affecting quality are performed in accordance with programs and Page 4 of 15

CYQAP CR 05-02 IOCFR50.54(a) Evaluation procedures which have been reviewed and approved in accordance with the CYQAP. In light of these positive assessments and the continual oversight of activities affecting quality provided by the Independent Review and Audit Committee, it is not anticipated that any adverse impact would result by extending the period between management assessments to 24 months. This change, however, constitutes a reduction in commitment and may not be implemented except in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR50.54(a)(4)(iv).

Among the corrections is the deletion of the statement in paragraph 2.2.3 that Important to Safety SSCs are listed in the CY UFSAR. Important to Safety SSCs are no longer listed in the CY UFSAR since all spent fuel and GTCC waste has been transferred to the ISFSI. In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment. These changes may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Chanter 3 - Design Control All changes to this Section are editorial in nature.

Determination of Impact In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment. This change may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Chanter 4 - Procurement Document Control Significant changes made to this Section relate to the deletion of reference to endorsed Codes and Standards.

All other changes to this Section are editorial in nature.

Determination of Impact The Codes and Standards referenced in previous revisions of the CYQAP were pertinent to operating plants and the HNP while safety-related SSCs were still maintained. With the completion of transfer of all spent fuel to the ISFSI and the resultant elimination of all safety-related SSCs, compliance with all previously endorsed Codes and Standards is no longer appropriate. Similar actions have Page 5 of 15

CYQAP CR 05-02 IOCFR50.54(a) Evaluation been taken in a revision to the Yankee Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program. As deletion of reference to previously endorsed Codes and Standards constitutes a reduction in commitment, this change may not be implemented except in accordance with the provisions of IOCFR50.54(a)(4)(iv).

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment. This change may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Chanter 5 - Procedures, Instructions and Drawings Significant changes made to this Section relate to the deletion of reference to endorsed Codes and Standards.

All other changes to this Section are editorial in nature.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Chapter 6 - Document Control Significant changes to this Chapter include the deletion of "functions" from the scope of applicability found in paragraph 6.1.

Page 6 of 15

CYQAP CR 05-02 I OCFR50.54(a) Evaluation All other changes to this Section are editorial in nature.

Determination of Impact By stating that controlled distribution of documents is pertinent to Quality Activities affecting the Important to Safety functions of SSCs is inappropriately limiting. By rewording the statement to eliminate "functions", increases the scope of applicability of the Quality Assurance Program. An increase in scope does not constitute a reduction in commitment, therefore, this change may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment. These changes may be implemented without prior USNRC approval.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Chanter 7 - Control of Purchased Material, Equipment and Services Significant changes to this Chapter include the deletion of commitment to the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.123, Regulatory Guide 1.144 and ANSI N45.2.1 3.

Determination of Impact The Codes and Standards referenced in previous revisions of the CYQAP were pertinent to operating plants and the HNP while safety-related SSCs were still maintained. With the completion of transfer of all spent fuel to the ISFSI and the resultant elimination of all safety-related SSCs, compliance with all previously endorsed Codes and Standards is no longer appropriate. Similar actions have been taken in a revision to the Yankee Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program. As deletion of reference to previously endorsed Codes and Standards constitutes a reduction in commitment, this change may not be implemented except in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR50.54(a)(4)(iv).

CYQAP CR 05-02 IOCFR50.54(a) Evaluation Appendix D Significant changes to this Appendix include the deletion of the quality assurance term: "Nuclear Grade," and changing the applicability of 'Material Requests" from "Nuclear Grade" to "Important to Safety" procurements.

Editorial changes to this Appendix are minor in nature and serve to correct typographical errors.

Determination of Impact Upon completion of transfer of all spent fuel and GTCC to the ISFSI and the subsequent reclassification of safety-related SSCs to non-safety related status, there will be no value in defining the term "Nuclear Grade". Further, without safety-related SSCs, there is no reason to continue its use. Upon reclassification of SSCs and cancellation of the program, there is no reason to carry this definition or reference to "safety-related" in the CYQAP. The deletion is, therefore, considered editorial in nature. As such, in accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Appendix E Appendix E is the approved exceptions to Regulatory Guides and standards and is deleted in its entirety in this revision to support deletion of related commitments.

Determination of Impact The deletion of these exceptions would require full compliance with the remaining commitments. As such, there is no reduction in commitment by the deletion.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Appendix F Significant changes to this Appendix include the deletion of the Independent Review and Audit Committee responsibility to review and assess the Fire Protection Program.

Page 14 of 15

CYQAP CR 05-02 10CFR50.54(a) Evaluation Editorial changes include the renaming of Appendix F to Appendix E following deletion of the old Appendix E and correction of numbered paragraphs to correspond to changes to the CYQAP made necessary by the deletion of paragraphs referencing the Fire Protection Program Determination of Impact The Fire Protection Program is controlled in accordance with ISFSI procedures and was considered an Augmented Quality Program in previous revisions to the CYQAP. With the deletion of the applicability of the CYQAP to Augmented Quality Programs in Change Request CR-05-01 to the CYQAP, this change is considered editorial in nature. Under the provisions of 10CFR50.54(a)(3), these changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment.

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), editorial or title changes do not constitute a reduction in commitment.

No adverse impact to the CYQAP will result due to these changes.

Conclusion Based on the results of this evaluation, some of the changes proposed for Revision 6 reduce the level of commitment in the CYQAP and may not be implemented except in accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(4)(iv) which states, Changes to the quality assurance program description included or referenced in the Safety Analysis Report shall be regarded as accepted by the Commission upon receipt of a letter to this effect from the appropriate reviewing office of the Commission or 60 days after submittal to the Commission, whichever occurs first.

  • Implement and revise the provisions of the described QA program.
  • Regularly assess the scope, status, implementation, and effectiveness of the QA program.
2. GUIDANCE ON §71.105, "QUALITY ASSURANCE CYQAP The CYQAP has been previously approved by the NRC PROGRAM" and is allowed to be used per 10CFR71.101(f).

2.1 General Guidance on QA Programs In its program description submittal, the QA program user should identify to the NRC how each of the regulations in Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 71 applies to its particular situation and how it will be satisfied. The information supplied for NRC review will vary as a function of the nature of activities in which the QA program user is involved. For example, an individual or organization using a general license solely for transportation of radioactive material in packages purchased or leased for that purpose would be expected to address regulations governing activities such as procurement, shipment, and handling. By contrast, someone who designs and fabricates packaging 4 of 54

Comparison of CYQAP to Regulatory Guide 7.10 Revision 2 Regulatory Guide 7.10 Revision 2 Corresponding CYQAP Comments QA Program Requirement would be expected to address criteria for design and testing, as well as material procurement activities. Elements common to all QA program descriptions include the quality organization and program, corrective action, QA records, and audits. In developing its programs, prospective QA program users can refer to the NRC's guidance in this regulatory guide, as well as the additional guidance on graded QA in NUREG/CR-6407 (Ref. 2).

In developing its program, QA program users should apply each of the applicable Subpart H regulations in a graded approach (i.e., to an extent that is consistent with its importance to safety).

Following the NRC staffs technical review and determination that the QA program submittal meets regulatory requirements, the Commission issues a QA Program Approval. The approval expires on the last day of the month stated on the approval form and may be renewed (at the request of the QA program user and in accordance with 10 CFR 71.38) not less than 30 days prior to expiration.

All changes to the approved QA program description require NRC approval. Therefore, before implementing any change in the QA program description that was used as the basis for NRC approval, the QA program user should submit the proposed change for NRC review and approval. Requests for review and approval of such changes are handled through amendments to the QA Program Approvals and do not affect the renewal dates.

The only exception to the requirement for NRC approval of any change relates to QA programs that the NRC staff approved under Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, which was subsequently accepted under 10 CFR 71.101(f). This exception allows a nuclear power plant licensee to change such a QA Program to 5 of 54

Comparison of CYQAP to Regulatory Guide 7.10 Revision 2 Regulatory Guide 7.10 Revision 2 Corresponding CYQAP Comments QA Program Requirement the extent permitted under 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3).

Based on NRC approval of its QA program description submittals, a QA program user will translate the regulations discussed in its submittals into lower-level (working-level) implementing procedures that govern the conduct of QA activities that are important to safety.

If the NRC staff reviews a QA program submittal and finds that it inadequately describes how the requirements will be met or fails to specifically address some Subpart H regulation(s), the staff will ask the QA program user to submit additional information to correct the deficiencies.

2.2 Scope of QA Program The QA program user should establish measures for identifying Appendix A For item (1), Appendix A addresses all SSCs to which the (1) the components, structures, and systems to be covered by CYQAP is applicable.

\~ APPENDIX E CONNECTICUT YANKEE OUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM PROGRAM EXCEPTIONS

1. \NSI N45.2.9, states in part, "structure, doors, frames, and hardware should be Class A e-related with a recommended four-hour minimum rating." The three record storage vau s at NNECO have a two-hour rating and the record vault door and hardware at CYA 0 has a three hour rating.

Both NNE 0 and CYAPCo's vaults are used for storage of documentation that is unsuitable foilming or awaiting filming.

A records organi ion exists along with written procedures addressing the control of quality assurance re rds.

2. Deleted CR 05-01
3. ANSI N45.2.9-1974, paragrapha.4, definition of "Quality Assurance Records" states in part: "For the purposes of this sta ard, a document is considered a quality assurance record when the document has been ompleted."

CYAPCo has developed the following temative definition to provide guidance during the interim period from the time a document completed until it is transmitted to Nuclear Records:

"A record is considered a working document u il it is transmitted to Nuclear Records at which time it is designated as a Quality Assuranc Record. The following maximum time limits are established for the transmittal of working ocuments to Nuclear Records:

Operations Documents - Documentation gene ed during Plant or ISFSI Operations may be maintained, as needed, by opeting plant departments, for up to one year.

New Construction or Betterment Documents - Docu nts which evolve during new construction or betterment projects shall be transmitted o Nuclear Records within 90 days of completion of a new construction project or over of a betterment project or plant operations.

Procurement Documents - Inspection/Surveillance/Audit Rep rts generated during vendor oversight activities which are used to maintain vendor s tus for current and future procurements may be maintained, as needed, by CYAPCo or up to three years.

All Other Working Documents - All other working documents shall b transmitted APPENDIX E 69 CYQAP REV: 05, CR 04-01, CR 04-02, CR 04-04, CR 04-05, CR 05-01

>ei)e PX to Nuclear Records within 6 months of their receipt or completion."

The requirements of ANSI N45.2.9-1974 do not apply to these "working documents" based n paragraph 1.1 of the ANSI standard which states:

"It (SI N45.2.9) is not intended to cover the preparation of the records nor to include workin ocuments not yet designated as Quality Assurance Records." CR 05-01

4. Deleted Re torv Guide 1.64 - 6/76, the Regulatory position states, in part, "It should not be construed th tvsuch verification constitutes the required independent design verification." CYA Co has developed the following alternative to allow for adequate independent design v fication:

This review may be perfo ed by the originator's Supervisor, only if the Supervisor /

Manager:\

Did not specify a singu a esign approach; Did not establish the design* puts or did not rule out certain design considerations; Is the only individual in the o anization competent to perform the review.

Where the Supervisor/ Manager performsi e design review, the next level of management shall fulfill the responsibilities of the Supe or / Manager.

5. ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976, paragraph 10.3.4, statesi part, "Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation (shout) shall be mutually established by the

-purchaser and supplier." Involvement by the suppli in establishing Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation is request d only when it is deemed necessary and proper by the responsible engineering organization.

CYAPCo no longer has any nuclear plants under constructio As a result, most procurements are made for spare parts from suppliers who are ot the original equipment manufacturer. In these cases, the supplier may have little or no u derstanding or knowledge of either the operation of the system the component is t be installed in, or applicable Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance docu ntation. As such, CYAPCo assumes responsibility for establishing Post Installation Test equirements and acceptance documentation.

6. Deleted ANSI N45.2.2-1972, paragraph 1.2, states in part that, "The requireients of this standard apply to the work of any individual or organization that participates ithe packaging, shipping, receiving, storage, and handling of items to be incorporate into nuclear power plants."

APPENDIX E 70 CYQAP REV: 05, CR 04-01, CR 04-02, CR 04-04, CR 04-05, CR 05-01

Since a portion of CYAPCo procurement activities involve commercial suppliers which do n ly comply with the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2, CYAPCo verifies through source inspecti receipt inspection, and/or survey activities that the quality of the materials, items, compon or equipment is preserved by those suppliers to the extent that packaging, shipping,s e and handling methods are employed which are commensurate with the nature of the produc.

The CYQAP for design control is established to assure that the applicable design requirements, such as design bases, regulatory requirements, codes, technical standards and quality standards are identified in design documents which are reviewed, approved and controlled in accordance with established procedures. Such controls include a review for suitability of application of materials, equipment, parts and processes that are essential to the functions of the systems, structures and components. Changes to, and deviations from, specified requirements are identified, documented and controlled.

The responsibility for design control processes rests with the CY Director of Project Support.

The division of responsibilities and jurisdictional boundaries for program implementation are set forth in the appropriate administrative procedures. Although other organizations may be delegated the task of establishing and executing the design control program or any part thereof, the CY Director of Project Support will retain the ultimate responsibility for the program. The applicable requirements of the CYQAP will be imposed on other organizations delegated the task of establishing or executing the program in accordance with QAP 4.0, "Procurement Document Control" and QAP 7.0, "Control of Purchased Material, Equipment and Services,"

herein.

The interface controls, both internal and external, for organizations performing design work for quality systems, structures and components are identified and implemented in accordance with documented procedures. This identification includes those organizations providing criteria, designs, specifications and technical direction.

Measures are applied to verify the adequacy of design. The extent of design verification is specified and documented by the responsible organization. The individuals performing design verification should not:

(1) have immediate supervisory responsibility for the individual performing the design; (2) have specified a singular design approach; (3) have ruled out certain design considerations; or (4) have established the design inputs for the particular design aspect being verified.

The independent design verification should not dilute or replace the responsibility of the {DeIeted: 03 supervisors for the quality of worlkperformed under their supervision. "Where changes to - -

previously verified designs have been made, design verifications are required for the change, including evaluation of the effects of those changes on the overall design. Design QAP 3.0 13 CYQAP l REV: 06, CR 05-02

verification may be accomplished by testing. Tests to demonstrate adequacy under adverse design conditions shall comply with the requirements of QAP 11.0, "TEST CONTROL."

Design errors and deficiencies which adversely affect quality systems, structures and components in design process are documented, and appropriate corrective action is taken.

These design errors and deficiencies are documented in accordance with design change procedures or as defined in QAP 16.0, "Corrective Action."

Application of design controls does not include SSCs for radioactive material transportation packages and dry spent fuel storage components utilized under the provisions of a General License pursuant to 10 CFR 71 and 10 CFR 72. Additional guidance is contained in Appendix A.

3.2 IMPLEMENTATION The CY Director of Project Support is responsible for ensuring design, design review, engineering approval of design changes, design evaluation and design control are adequately performed at the HNP and ISFSI. The function may be delegated to other organizations to perform the design activity, or any part thereof, but the responsibility for overall design remains with the CY Director of Project Support. In all cases, final engineering decisions and ultimate design control of systems, structures and components related to the ISFSI are the responsibility of the CY Director of Project Support.

The Quality Assurance department performs audits, surveillances, and inspections, to verify that Departments are effectively complying with the CYQAP and procedural requirements for design control.

CYAPCo is responsible for the performance, as appropriate, of off-site audits, surveillances, and inspections, to verify that vendors are effectively complying with the CYQAP and procedural requirements for design control.

Quality Assurance personnel perform, as appropriate, on-site audits, surveillances, and inspections of these vendor activities.

3.2.1 DESIGN PROCESS Design control measures are applied to design analyses, such as: stress, thermal, hydraulic, nuclear radiation, accident and seismic analyses; compatibility of materials; accessibility for required inspection, maintenance, and repair; and delineation of acceptance criteria for inspections and test. Measures established to control design documents are described in QAP 6.0, "Document Control."

Deleted: 03 QAP 3.0 14 CYQAP l REV: 0l6, CR 05-02

Program procedures and instructions define the method of implementing design control measures. These measures require that applicable design requirements, such as, design bases, regulatory requirements, codes and standards, are translated into specifications, drawings, procedures or instructions. Instructions further require that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents. All materials, equipment, parts and processes, including standard "off the shelf" commercial or previously approved items essential to the quality functions, are selected and reviewed for suitability of application.

The basis for selection may include industry standards, material and prototype hardware testing programs, and design review.

CY procedures assure that a documented check is performed to verify the accuracy and completeness of design drawings and specifications before release for use.

Design drawings and specifications issued for design changes are reviewed for completeness and accuracy before being released to operations, in accordance with CY procedures.

CY procedures describe the provisions to assure that design drawings and specifications are prepared, reviewed and approved in accordance with company procedures, and that the documents contain the necessary quality assurance requirements, such as inspections and test requirements, acceptance requirements, and the extent of documenting inspection and test results.

3.2.2 DESIGN CHANGE CONTROL Procedures and instructions govern design change control during modifications to the HNP and ISFSI. Control of discrepant or deficient design conditions, and reported unsatisfactory performance, provide for the identification of design changes and a documented method to control these changes. Design and specification changes are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied during the original design.

An independent review and approval of design changes is performed by the organization that conducted the original design reviews, unless another qualified organization is designated to perform this function.

Proposed design change modifications are submitted to management for processing and review. This review includes the Independent Review Function required by Appendix E. The Independent Safety Reviewers (ISR) advise the CY Unit/lSFSI Manager on matters relating to nuclear safety. If the proposed change involves a quality system structure or component, the change will be reviewed by qualified engineering personnel for technical adequacy. Reviews of the 10 CFR Deleted:_03

- 50.59 and 10 CFR 72.48 evaluations associated with design changes are - - -. Deleted 03 performed by the Independent Review and Audit Committee (IRAC). The QAP 3.0 15 CYQAP l REV: 06, CR 05-02

sequence of the Independent Review Function depends upon the determination of whether License Amendment is required.

The combination of these independent reviews by the ISR and IRAC are performed to assure that:

a. The adequacy of the proposed change is substantiated;
b. The need to obtain NRC approval prior to implementing a change, test or, experiment that has been identified and dispositioned per 10 CFR 50.59 or 10 CFR 72.48; and
c. Nuclear safety requirements have been addressed.

Errors and deficiencies in design, including the design process, that could adversely affect quality structures, systems, and components are documented and corrective action is taken in accordance with QAP 16.0, "Corrective Action."

Notification of design changes are transmitted to responsible plant personnel as part of the design package close out. CY procedures describe this notification which assures that personnel are made aware of design change modifications.

3.2.3 DESIGN INTERFACE CONTROL The CY Director of Project Support is responsible for review, coordination and documentation of design interfaces. Procedures provide for the method for identifying design interfaces, changes, and modifications affecting drawings and design documents.

3.2.4 INDEPENDENT DESIGN VERIFICATION Design changes are reviewed for adequacy and the sign-off performed by a person other than the originator of the design. Design verification is documented in accordance with procedures or instructions. Simplified calculations or computer programs may be utilized as alternate means of design verification. When design verification is performed by testing, the tests are performed using approved procedures, which specify the authority and responsibility of design verification personnel. Ultimate responsibility for design adequacy and evaluation is retained by the CY Director of Project Support.

Design verification (if other than by qualification testing) is normally completed prior to release for procurement, manufacturing, and construction, or to another Deleted: 03

verification cannot be completed prior to release for procurement, manufacturing, QAP 3.0 16 CYQAP l REV: 106, CR 05-02

and construction, procedures ensure that design verification is completed prior to the point when the installation is declared operational.

CY procedures describe the requirements which assure the following when testing is considered as an alternate method of design verification:

a. Specifications or procedures provide criteria that specify when verification should be by test.
b. Prototype, component or feature testing is performed as early as possible prior to installation of plant equipment, or prior to the point when the installation is declared operational.
c. Verification by test performed under conditions that simulate the most adverse conditions as determined by analysis.

Particular emphasis is placed on assuring that designs are in conformance with applicable codes, and on selecting the proper design verification or checking method. Procedures and instructions provide the requirements and necessary controls for design verification. These controls include a review to assure that design characteristics can be controlled, verification that there is adequate accessibility for inspection or test, and that inspection and test acceptance criteria are incorporated. Documentation of reviews is provided.

CY procedures include requirements which identify the responsibility of design verifiers, the areas and features to be verified, and the extent of the documentation.

CY procedures assure that procedural control is established for design documents that reflect the commitments of the CY Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) or the NAC MPC Certificate of Compliance. These procedural controls vary for design documents which receive formal design verification by several disciplines or organizations, and those which can be reviewed by a single individual. The specific design documents and specialized reviews are determined and used as required by the design changes and modifications.

CY procedures are established to assure that verified computer programs are certified for a specific use.

The CY Director of Project Support is responsible for assuring that design documents provided by vendors are adequately approved and maintained.
