Millstone Unit 1 Safety-related structures, systems and components are defined in the DSAR. Safety Related and Important-to-Safety structures, systems and components for Millstone's ISFSI are defined in the FSAR for the Standardized NUHOMS Horizontal Modular Storage System for Irradiated Nuclear Fuel. This QAP is also applicable in its entirety to materials, equipment, parts, consumables and services designated Category I.
This QAP applies to other quality programs including Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) Quality Assurance, which is applicable to MP-2 only (MP-3 commits to Generic Letter 85-06), and to Electrical Equipment Qualification (EEQ), as defined by company commitments. This QAP is also applicable to Station Blackout Quality Assurance (SBOQA) as identified in licensing commitments and delineated in applicable implementing procedures. Portions of this QAP are also applicable to Fire Protection Quality Assurance (FPQA) and Radwaste Quality Assurance (RWQA),
which are delineated in applicable procedures.
The Materials, Equipment, and Parts List (MEPL) Program is the process used to evaluate, determine and assign the appropriate quality assurance classification (Safety related or augmented quality) to structures, systems, components, parts, materials, activities and consumables. For quality software, the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Program provides instructions to classify software and describe the appropriate level of documentation that is warranted for software used to support those functions of structures, systems, and components that are affected by the QAP.
The requirements of this QAP are implemented by the company which operates Millstone Power Station, and their vendors performing activities affecting quality QAP - 2.0 Rev. 26, Chg. I Date: 8116/04 Page 1 of 6

10 CFR 50.55 (f(3); 10 CFR 50.71(e) and (f) and 10 CFR 72.70.
Quality procedures are developed by the departments performing quality activities. These procedures are reviewed for. concurrence by the departments which are responsible for implementing portions of these procedures and are approved by the initiating department. Nuclear Oversight reviews other department quality procedures for compliance with this QAP through its audit program. Changes to procedures are subjected to the same degree of control as that utilized in the preparation of the original document.
Each Vice President and Director is responsible for implementation of this QAP within their organization which includes individual departmental procedure requirements applicable only to their respective activities. In addition, they are responsible for the preparation, approval, and distribution of those instructions, operating procedures, testing procedures, or other instructions where further guidance is necessary.
2.2.3 STRUCTURES, SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS This QAP applies to all activities affecting the safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components as addressed in the Safety Analysis Reports (SARs).

QAP - 2.0 Rev. 26, Chg..1 Date: 8/16/04 Page 3 of 6
For structures, systems and components covered by the ASME Code, the company's procedures describe the measures taken to assure that the quality assurance requirements contained in the code are supplemented by the specific guidance of the applicable regulatory guides and endorsed ANSI standards listed in Appendix C.
For structures, systems and components, regulatory commitments and the company's procedures describe the measures taken to assure that the quality assurance requirements are met.
The degree of control over activities affecting quality structures, systems, and components is consistent with their importance to safety. Such controls include use of appropriate equipment, establishment of suitable environmental conditions, and assurance that all prerequisites~for a given activity have been satisfied. This QAP provides controls over special processes and skills necessary to attain the required quality, and the need for verification of quality by inspection and test; Nuclear Oversight and applicable company technical organizations jointly determine and identify the extent quality assurance controls are applied to quality structures, systems, and components. The quality assurance controls are in conformance with this QAP, which complies with the 18 criteria set forth in Appendix B to 10 CFR 50.
2.2.4 PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS The organization for Millstone Power Station activities affecting the quality of structures, systems, and components is identified in QAP 1.0, "Organization, which also briefly describes assigned responsibilities.
Nuclear Oversight is responsible for a) the development, coordination, and administrative control of this QAP including coordination of Nuclear Oversight procedure review and approval and b) assuring issuance of this QAP Topical Report as a controlled document (as described in QAP 6.0, 'Document Control). Procedure reviews shall be performed in accordance with QAP 5.0, "Procedures, Instructions, and Drawings".
The company requires, that its approved vendors performing quality activities invoke upon their subvendors' via purchase orders/contracts, requirements for a quality assurance program to meet the applicable criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, including the applicable elements of the regulatory guides and their endorsed ANSI/IEEE standards identified in Appendix C. However, the company retains overall responsibility'for the Millstone Power Station Quality Assurance Program. The specific quality activities performed by these organizations are specified in the procurement documents. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is responsible for the review and approval of these vendors' quality assurance programs prior to initiation of contracted activities.
QAP - 2.0 Rev. 26, Chg. 1 Date: 8/16104 Page 4 of 6
-The object of the review is to verify that these vendors have an adequate quality assurance program to meet applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
