GPU Nuclear Post-Defueling Monitored Storage 11 9 of 44 Quality Assurance Plan for Three Mile Island Unit 2 INTRODUCTION At the completion of the TMI-2 Cleanup Program, the plant.will be in a safe, stable condition that poses no risk to the health and safety of the public. The absence of any significant quantity or configuration of nuclear fuel assures that there is no potential for a nuclear criticality. This phase .of plant life has been.
named Post-Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS) and is suitable for an extended period.
During the PDMS period, GPU Nuclear will be licensed under 10 CFR 50 to "possess but not to operate" the TMI-2 facility. Since the plant willbe in a non-operating and defueled~status, there will no longer be any structures, systems, or components that perform a safety function. Therefore, the quality assurance (QA) requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,'do not specifically apply. HoWever' this Plan'has been developed to provide TMI-2 with an appropriate scope PDMS QA Program based upon the guidance of Appendix B requirements. It replaces the "Recovery QA Plian f6tThree Mile Island Nuclear Siation Unit 2" and shall be implemented according to NRC approved License conditions.
This Plan has been structured to correspond to the 18 criteria-format of 10 CFR 50, Appendix.B. The.Plan shall be applied, as necessary, to assure that safe and stable PDMS conditions are maintained, while
,complying with all pertinent Licensing and other regulatory requirements. The TMI-2 PDMS Safety.
Analysis Report (SAR) provides rationale concerning the applicability of various regulatory requirements and should be~consulted when implementing the, Plan. Additionally, it is intended that.the Plan be implemented to assure conformance with applicable 10 CFR 20; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H; and 49 CFR requirements. Any questions regarding the scope. or~interpretation of the Plan should be addressed to the Vice President GPU Nuclear Oversight for determination.
Existing GPU Nuclear organizations and approved nuclear QA programs may be utilized to fulfill the requirements of the PDMS QAPlan since ihe' will meet or exceed its intent.
The NRC issued an Order approving the application regarding the proposed merger of GPU, Inc. and FirstEnergy Corp on March 7, 2001. As part of this order the it was recognized the holders of the TMI-2 license, GPU Nuclear, Metropolitan Edison Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company would become subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp, thus any reference to FirstEnergy in this plan are made based on this relationship.

GPU Nuclear Post-Defueling Monitored Storage 1 18 of 44 Quality Assurance Plan for Three Mile Island Unit 2 3.0 DESIGN CONTROL 3.1 TMI-2 was originally designed and constructed in compliance with appropriate .10 CFR 50 Codes and Standards. Due to the non-operating and defueled status of TMI-2 during PDMS, there will no longer be any structures, systems, or components which perform a safety function. However, the TMI-2 Technical Specifications do identify certain structures, systems, and. components required to be operable. Such structures, systems, and components are considered within PDMS QA Plan Scope and, thus, require the application of design controls on a graded basis should modifications be required. Systems and major components within PDMS QA Plan Scope are identified in a Component.Record List (CRL) document.
3.2 To the extent defined in Section 2.0, measures shall be established for PDMS~to ensure design criteria are included or correctly translated into design documents. These measures, as a minimum, shall ensure that applicable design inputs are identified and documented. Changes from approved design inputs shall be identified, approved, documented, and controlled. Inputs shall be translated into design output documents containing the technical and quality requirements that must be satisfied.
3.3 To the extent necessary, design control measures shall be implemented by controlled written procedures. Such procedures may address the following design activities:
3.3.1 The organizational structure, authority, and responsibility of personnel involved in preparing, reviewing, and approving design documents.
3.3.2 Design input requirements necessary to permit the correct performance of design process activities. ALARA considerations, if appropriate, shall be specified.
3.3.3 Design process activities sufficient to ensure that design inputs are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, or instructions.
