Design Control Program The objectives of the inspection were to ascertain whether the licensee is implementing a QA program relating to the control of design changes and modifications that are in conformance with regulatory requirements, commitments in the application, and industry guides and standards.
The inspection included the determination that procedures have been established for control of design and modification change requests that include:
Method for initiating a design change request.
Design Change Request Control Form, with provisions for documenting
-completion of required reviews, evaluations, and approvals prior to implementing the change.
Method for assuring that proposed change does not involve an unreviewed safety question as described in 10 CFR Part 50.59 or a change in the Technical Specifications.
'
Independent design verification.
!
Independent auditing of design activities.
Design interfaces.
l
--
< >.
- Training.
Drawing / document control.
Installation records and as-built control.
Test requirements.
With regard to the above, the NRC inspector conducted a review of ANSI N45 2.11-1974; Section 17.2.3 of the FSAR; Section 6.5 of the Technical Specifications; and 10 CFR Part 50.59; in comparison with the contents of the following licensees design control program administrative and implementing procedures:

PMP-308, Production and Review of Design Document....
During the review, the NRC inspector observed that the principle design change / modification controlling administrative procedure is PE-2-006,
" Plant Engineering Station Modifications." The responsibilities and requirements for the Nuclear Operations Department to control modifications of Waterford 3, including changes to approved designs, appeared to be well delineated and the program elements indicated conformance with regulatory requirements.
During the above review, the NRC inspector observed that, although LP&L initiates and has overall control and responsibility for station modifications, most of the design functions are accomplish through the designated A/E.
-
In view of the significant A/E involvement in the design functions, the NRC inspector conducted a corresponding review of the design control program being implemented by A/E at the Kenner, Louisiana facility. The review included the following principle A/E program procedures:
E-69-W3, " Protect Preparation of Station Modification Packages."
~
<
E-21-W3, " Preparation of Specification."-
E-30-W3, " Preparation of Calculations."
E-45-W3, " Processing FUSAR Change Requests."
E-74-W3, " Preparation of Retrofit Change Sketches."
E-76-W3, " Interdisciplinary Design Review and Independent Design
Verification."
E-86-W3, " Procurement of Engineered Materials."
E-11-W3, "As-built Documentation."
The overall licensees /A&E programmatic implementing procedure relating to the control of design changes and modifications appeared to be in conformance with regulatory requirements, commitments in the application, and industry guides and standards.
No violations or deviations were identified.
3.
Design Change Program Implementation During the inspection, the NRC inspector selected station modification package (SMP)84-257, "Radwaste Liquid Storage Capacity Addition," for review.
The modification provides an additional radwaste storage tank capacity of
!
40,000 gallons located in the north end of the dry cooling tower area.
-.
.,.
It was observed by the inspector that the modification has been the only major modification at the facility since initial startup and is being installed through a series of six design revisions (storage tank installation was scheduled for November 1984 through December 1986).
The system design is based on meeting the regulatory requirements delineated by Regulatory Guide 1.143, " Design Guidance for Radioactive Waste Management Systems, Structures, and Components Installed in Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, 1979.
During the review, the NRC inspector examined the seven design packages (Revision 0-6) in order to identify LP&L program procedural implementation and technical content.
LP&L reviews and approvals notably included:
Independent Design Verification.
Design Review Guidelines.
'
Nuclear Safety Review Checklists.
Safety and Environmental Reviews.
ALARA Reviews and Comments.
Fire Protection Reviews.
10 CFR Part 50.59 Reviews.
- 10 CFR Part 50.49 Reviews.
PORC Reviews and Approvals.
Acceptance and Test Requirements.
QA Reviews.
The NRC inspector concluded that the SMP 84-257 design packages appear to meet the implementing requirements established by LP&L Procedure PE-2-006, Revision 7. " Plant Engineering Station Modifications."
The NRC inspector also conducted a sampling review of SMP-107,
" Supplemental Fuel Pool Heat Exchanger Modification" package.
In addition, the NRC inspector conducted system walkdowns of both the
,
radwaste system modification and the fuel pool supplemental heat exchanger l
addition.
During the walkdowns, the NRC inspector reviewed drawings, installation instructions, specifications, and procedures. Although the radwaste system modification is essentially complete, the NRC inspector reviewed the storage tank installation procedure (Chicago Bridge and Iron (C8&I))
including the CB&I manufactures data report, dated January 4,1985, which included inspection requirements and inspection and test sequences for tank components (ASME Section VIII, Division 1), weld procedure
,
'
specifications, weld procedure qualification records, and welder qualification records.
During the walkdown of the supplemental fuel pool heater exchanger installation, the NRC inspector observed that the heat exchanger had been installed and work was proceeding with the installation of the two 12-inch component cooling system (CC) lines and two 10-inch fuel pool cooling and

purification (FS) lines (inlet and outlet lines for the backup spent fuel pool (BSFP) heat exchanger). The NRC inspector examined QC weld control documentation, FS-SM-107-M3 relative to field welds FW-4 and FW-37A in conjunction with LP&L Procedure MM-1-056, " Weld Test and Inspection and Visual Inspection Requirement Delineated in AWS D1.1."
In addition, observations were made of the work activities in progress relative to preparations of installation for the heat exchanger concrete shield wall (seismic Category 1 concrete EBASCO Specification LOV-3988.400.)
During the inspection, the NRC inspector reviewed the most recent station design / modification QA audit conducted by the LP&L QA audit team during the period August 22 through September 16, 1985.
(File Folder SA-W3-QA-85-41)
The NRC inspector observed that, although open findings were identified and corrected, audit finding indicated that nuclear operations had in place, an effective program and organization to maintain control of unit design and modifications to that design.
No violations or deviations were identified.
4.
Exit Interview The NRC inspector met with the licensee representatives during each of the inspection periods to provide the licensee with inspection updates. A final inspection closeout exit was conducted on August 22, 1986. The NRC senior resident inspector attended the closecut exit.
The NRC inspector sumarized the scope and findings of the inspection.
