This page was intentionally left blank.

StandardQuality Assurance Topical Report (NO-AA-10) - Revision 82 Transmittaland Summary of Changes To: All Site Document Control Centers These changes are Effective: January 6, 2009, with implementation required no later than 3/06/09.

The Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) has been revised to:

" eliminate all references to AmerGen.

" reflect executive title changes.

• deleted the requirement for PORC approval of administrative procedures.

" clarified the limitations on the use of commercial grade calibration services.

" updated the audit frequency table.

" update the definition of component.

Two of these changes required and received NRC approval. These were the elimination of AmerGen and the elimination of the requirement for PORC approval of administrative procedures. The rest of the changes have been reviewed in accordance with 10CFR50.54(a) and did not reduce Exelon's commitments previously approved by the NRC. However, this revision to the QATR will be submitted to the NRC for post implementation review as tracked by Action Tracking Number 95188-06. A review, in accordance with HU-AA-1101, determined that no additional formal change management plans are required.

The specific changes are described as follows:

Table of Contents o Updated to coincide with the current revision.

Chapter 1 (Organization) o Section 2.2.2 was updated to reflect the new title of the President, Chief Operating Officer, Exelon Corporation and Chief Operating Officer, Exelon Generation Company to reflect the September 23, 2008 organization change.

o Section 2.2.3 was updated to reflect the new title of the President, Chief Nuclear Officer, Exelon Nuclear to reflect the September 23, 2008 organization change.

o Section 2.2.3.1 was clarified in the second bullet to reflect the MidWest Stations consistently through the paragraph. This bullet previously incorrectly intermixed MidAtlantic and MidWest.

Standard Quality Assurance Topical Report (NO-AA-10) - Revision 82 Transmittaland Summary of Changes Chapter 5 (Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings) o Section 2.3.1.1 deleted the requirement to obtain Plant Operating Review Committee (PORC) review and approval of the Administrative Procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Chapter 7 (Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services) o Section 2.4.8 clarified that the use of Commercial-Grade Calibration Services was limited to NVLAP and A2LA suppliers, based on the NRC's request for additional information of a previous change discussed in IR 824587.

Appendix B (Audit Frequency) o Table items p. and q. (Access Authorization and Personnel Access Data System, respectively) were revised by deleting the words "at Least" before the 24 month frequency, thereby allowing the grace periods discussed in Chapter 18, as supported by Regulatory Information Summary (RIS) 2005-14.

o Table item s. (Fitness For Duty) changed the audit frequency from 12 to 24 months and changed the reference from 10CFR26.80 to 10CFR26.41.

Appendix C (Codes Standards, and Guides) o Section 1.3.3.2, Item F that discussed Clinton's site-specific exceptions to ANS 3.1 (1978) was deleted,-as Section 1.1 provides a more comprehensive summary of ANS 3.1 commitments for all sites.

o Sections 1.2, 1.3.1.3; 1.3.2.2, and 1.3.3.1 deleted the requirement to obtain Plant Operating Review Committee (PORC) review and approval of the Administrative Procedures recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Appendix D (Definitions) o Section 2.29, Component was updated to reflect a broader definition than the previous definition, which was limited to ASME Code Items.

EXELON NUCLEAR POLICY

1. POLICY STATEMENT The Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR), NO-AA-10, is the highest tiered document that assigns major functional responsibilities plants owned or operated by Exelon Generation Company, LLC. Implementing documents assign more specific responsibilities and tasks and define the organizational interfaces involved in conducting activities and tasks within the scope of this Plan. These requirements apply to those organizations and positions, which manage and perform activities within its scope.

The Company organization is structured on the basis that the attainment of the objectives of this Plan relies on those who manage, perform, and support the performance of activities within the scope of this plan. Assurance of this attainment relies on those who have no direct responsibility for managing or performing the activity.

The Company will maintain and operate its nuclear plants in a manner that will ensure the health and safety of the public and our workers. All facilities shall be at a minimum compliance with the requirements on the Code of Federal Regulations, NRC Operating Licenses, and the applicable laws and regulations of the state and local governments.

2. APPLICABILITY All Company personnel who work directly, or indirectly, for the Company are responsible for the achievement of quality in their work. Accordingly, all Company personnel and its contractors engaged in supporting nuclear generation activities shall comply with the requirements of our Quality Assurance Program (QAP).

INSPECTION CHAPTER 10 INSPECTION CHAPTER 10

. 1. SCOPE The Company plans and executes an inspection program to verify that activities affecting the quality of safety-related structures, systems, and components conform to documented requirements. For modification and non-routine maintenance activities, inspections are conducted in a manner similar (i.e.

frequency, type and personnel performing such inspections) to those associated with construction phase activities. The independent inspections described in this Chapter are not intended to dilute or replace the clear responsibility of the first line supervisors for the quality of work performed under their supervision or personnel performing the activity.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. General The Company establishes controls for coordination and execution of inspection plans. Company quality verification organizations or other qualified organizations are responsible for implementation of established inspection plans. If an inspection plan includes inspections by personnel other than those in a quality verification organization, the inspection requirements, personnel qualification criteria, and inspector independence will be accepted by the responsible quality organization prior to implementation.

2.2. Inspection Plans The Company prepares documented inspection plans. These inspection plans are applied when the activity is started. The inspection plans may be separate documents or an integral part of approved instructions, procedures or drawings.

Related codes, standards, specifications and design documents are used to develop the inspection plans. Procedures used for documenting inspection plans are selectively reviewed, as appropriate, by NOS to assure that necessary verification points and inspection criteria are included. The plans identify:

- acceptance criteria.

- activities to be inspected.

- inspection characteristics.

- inspection techniques/equipment (including accuracy requirements).

- provisions for inspection and test status.

- provisions for the recording of inspection results.

- qualification requirements.

- responsible organizations.

Revision 82 Page of 3 Page 11 of 3 Revision 82

INSPECTION CHAPTER10 2.3. Inspection Personnel and Qualification A qualification program is established and documented to conform to applicable codes, standards, or licensing requirements. Qualifications and certifications are kept current.

Qualified personnel perform inspections. Inspectors with valid certifications perform inspections for acceptance. Inspectors are independent of those who perform or directly supervise the activity being inspected. On-the-Job training inspections shall be performed under the direct supervision of qualified personnel.

Second line supervisory personnel or other qualified personnel not assigned first line supervisory responsibility for the conduct of the work may conduct inspection of operating activities. Operating activities are defined as work functions associated with normal operations of the plant, routine maintenance, and certain technical services routinely assigned to the onsite operating organization.

2.4. Inspection Process Inspections are performed using approved instructions, procedures, process sheets, travelers, or checklists and applicable drawings.

- Inspections are performed for each work or operating activity where necessary to verify quality. Where inspection sampling is used to verify the acceptability of a group of items, the sampling procedure shall be based on recognized standard practices.

- Process monitoring may be used when inspection of processed material or products is impossible or impractical. When necessary, to ensure quality throughout the duration of the process, both inspection and process monitoring will be systematically used to verify conformance to requirements.

- When inspections must be performed before work can continue, hold points are established in appropriate documents. Consent to waive hold points are recorded prior to continuation of work. When inspection is desired, but not mandatory before work can continue, witness points are established. Completion of hold and witness points is documented.

- When acceptance criteria are not met, corrected areas are re-inspected.

Changes to, or rework of, an item after inspection requires re-inspection of the affected areas. Such inspections are documented in the Corrective Action Program.

- A final evaluation is performed. Inspection results are reviewed to confirm that required inspections and quality records have been completed, identified non-conformances have been resolved and the item conforms to specified requirements. Engineering, Maintenance, Operations or Quality Verification approves final acceptance of the item.

Page 2 of 3 Revision 82

INSPECTION CHAPTER 10 Inspection records are of sufficient detail to confirm completion and, as a minimum, identify:

- authorized individual approving results.

- date of inspection.

- inspector/Data recorder.

- item inspected.

- M&TE used.

- reference to action taken in connection with identified non-conformances.

- results or acceptability.

- type of observation.

When the inspection activity is performed using a separate procedure, the procedure and its revision is recorded.

2.5. In-Service Inspections A program for the required ISI/IST inspection of completed systems, structures and components shall be planned and executed by or for the organization responsible for the operation of the plant to assure that plant components perform satisfactorily under all operating conditions.

Inspection methods shall be established and executed to applicable codes, standards and regulations, including baseline examinations and subsequent periodic examinations, which continue through the life of the plant in accordance applicable technical specifications.

2.6. Independent Verification Independent verifications are conducted by qualified personnel using approved procedures. Characteristics to be verified and methods to be employed shall be specified. Verification results and unacceptable conditions identified shall be documented. Verifications shall be performed by persons other than those who performed or directly supervised the work being verified.

HANDLING, STORAGE, AND SHIPPING CHAPTER 13

1. SCOPE The Company establishes measures to control and specify special protective conditions in accordance with an item's design and procurement requirements, as necessary, to prevent damage or deterioration of materials, components, and systems during handling, packaging, preservation, storage, and shipping.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. General The Company uses written procedures or instructions for cleaning, packaging, shipping, storage, preservation, and to specify detailed requirements for access to storage areas, housekeeping, and removal of items from storage. Procedures include provisions for inspection, examination, testing and documentation.

These procedures specify special protective conditions necessary to prevent damage, deterioration or loss before and after receipt of materials, equipment, special nuclear material, and radioactive wastes.

Procurement documents or the vendor's quality program specifies the establishment of controls, to assure through the use of shipping procedures to provide protection during loading and transit and inspections, that items are delivered in acceptable condition.

2.2. Special Equipment and Environments When required, the Company:

- provides special equipment and special protective environments

- specifies special equipment (such as containers, shock absorbers and accelerometers)

- specifies special protective environments (such as inert gas atmosphere, specific moisture content levels and temperature levels)

- verifies the maintenance of special equipment and special protective environments 2.3. Classification of Items Levels and methods of storage are classified to minimize the possibility of damage, deterioration, or contamination of items. This is based on the important physical characteristics and the importance to safety and reliability of the item.

This classification considers the manufacturer's requirements.

The Company packages, ships, receives, stores, and handles items according to established manufacturers requirements or the Company's' prescribed level.

When a package or assembly contains items of different levels, the Company classifies it to the highest level designated for any of the items contained.

Page I of 2 Revision 82

HANDLING, STORAGE, AND SHIPPING CHAPTER 13 2.4. Special Handling Tools and Equipment The Company inspects and tests special handling tools and equipment using procedures at specified time intervals to verify adequate maintenance. The Company provides special handling procedures and instructions for items that are susceptible to handling damage. These procedures delineate acceptable techniques, necessary qualifications and precautions for maintenance and use.

Operators of special handling and lifting equipment have experience or are trained in their usage.

2.5. Marking and Labeling The Company establishes instructions for marking and labeling to identify, maintain, and preserve an item, including indication of the presence of special environments or the need for special controls.

Consumable materials such as chemicals, reagents, and lubricants maintained in storerooms and warehouses are controlled procedurally by an inventory control system, which includes provisions for identifying storage requirements and shelf lives by commodity, when applicable. Disposal of commodities whose shelf life has expired is addressed and controlled by procedures.

2.6. Storage Periodic monitoring is performed to assure that storage areas are being maintained in accordance with applicable requirements. Access to storage areas shall be controlled and limited. Cleanliness and good housekeeping practices shall be enforced at all times in the storage areas. Fire protection measures commensurate with the type of storage area shall be provided and maintained.

Revision 82 Page of 2 2 of Page 2 2 Revision 82

INSPECTION, TEST, AND OPERATING CHAPTER 14 STATUS SCOPE Measures shall be established and documented to identify inspection, test, and operating status of structures, systems, and components in the scope of this QAP. Such measures shall provide means for assuring that required inspections and tests are performed and that the acceptability of items with regard to inspections and tests performed is known throughout procurement, installation, and operation in order to preclude inadvertent bypassing or altering the sequence of such inspections and tests.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. General The Company uses markings, tags, stamps, routing cards, labels, forms, inspection records, or other means to identify the operating status of plant equipment. This identification helps avoid inadvertent bypassing of the inspections and tests required prior to its use.

In cases where documentary evidence is not available to confirm that an item has passed required inspections and tests, that item shall be considered nonconforming. An operability determination for the nonconforming item with timeliness commensurate with the potential safety significance of the issue is performed. The operability determination is focused on whether the non-conforming item is capable of performing or supporting its specified functions of prevention or mitigation as described in the current licensing basis and will result in the determination of continued plant operation. If operability is assured based on this prompt determination, plant operation can continue while an appropriate corrective action program is implemented to restore qualification of the non-conforming item.

Control procedures describe the use of such tags, stamps, routing cards, labels, forms, inspection records, and other methods. The authority for application and removal of tags, markings, labels and stamps is specified. Tagging, labeling, color-coding, physical separation, or using an inventory system identifies acceptable or unacceptable items for installation.

The Company:

- clearly identifies and documents all temporary connections, such as jumpers and bypass lines, and temporary set points of control equipment to allow restoration before placing the item in service.

- conditionally releases items for installation pending subsequent correction of any non-conformances.

- indicates the date the item was placed in the acceptable or unacceptable installation status.

Page 1 of 4 Revision 82

INSPECTION, TEST, AND OPERATING CHAPTER 14 STATUS maintains records, marks equipment to indicate calibration status, and identifies test-equipment found out of calibration.

2.1.1. Procedures The Company uses procedures for control of equipment to maintain personnel and reactor safety and to avoid unauthorized operation of equipment. These procedures require control measures such as locking or tagging to secure and identify equipment in a controlled status. The procedures require independent verifications, where appropriate, to ensure that necessary measures, such as equipment tagging, have been done correctly.

2.2. Operating Status 2.2.1. Release for Maintenance Operating personnel, including a senior reactor operator, as applicable, may grant permission to release plant systems or equipment for maintenance or surveillance testing. Prior to granting permission, such operating personnel:

- verify that the equipment or system can be released.

- determine how long it may be out of service.

- determine what functional testing or redundant systems are required prior to and during the out-of-service period.

The Company documents such permission. The Company uses independent verification to the extent necessary to ensure that the proper system was removed from service. The Company considers the degraded protection available when one subsystem of a redundant safety system has been removed for maintenance or surveillance testing.

2.2.2. Preparation for Work After permission has been granted to take the equipment out of service, measures provide for protection of equipment and workers. The Company clearly identifies the status of equipment and systems at any location where the equipment can be operated. The Company enforces strict control measures for such equipment. The operating staff can easily identify equipment, which is in other than normal conditions.

In addition to the requirements of the technical specifications, conditions to be considered in preparing equipment for maintenance or surveillance testing include, for example:

- electrical hazards.

- entry into closed vessels.

- establishment of a path for decay heat removal.

- handling hazardous materials.

- hazardous atmospheres and ALARA considerations.

Page 2 of 4 Revision 82

INSPECTION, TEST, AND OPERATING CHAPTER 14 STATUS

- method of emergency core cooling.

- shutdown margin.

- temperature and pressure of the system.

- valves between work and hazardous materials.

- venting, draining, and flushing.

When entering a closed system, the Company prevents the entry of extraneous material and removes foreign material before re-closing the system. Appropriate personnel inform control room supervision of changes in equipment status, including temporary modifications, and the effects of such changes.

2.2.3. Temporary Modifications The Company controls temporary modifications, such as temporary bypass lines, electrical jumpers, lifted electrical leads, and temporary trip point settings with approved procedures. These procedures include requirements for the period of time when the temporary modification is in effect. They also include a requirement for:

- an independent verification by a second person of the proper installation or removal of the temporary modification, or

- a functional test which conclusively proves the proper installation or removal of the temporary modification.

The Company maintains a log or other documented evidence for the current status of such temporary modifications. The Company reviews temporary modifications periodically to assess their continued need and propriety.

2.2.4. Return to Service When equipment is ready to be returned to service, operating personnel place the equipment in operation and verify and document its functional acceptability.

The Company assures return to normal conditions using approved procedures, including:

- removal of electrical jumpers.

- removal of signals used during testing.

- returning valves, breakers, or switches to proper start-up or operating positions.

- assuring that all alarms, which are indicative of inoperative status, are cleared.

A second qualified person verifies proper alignment of equipment unless:

- all equipment, valves and switches involved in the activity can be proven to be in their correct alignment by functional testing without adversely affecting the safety of the plant, or

- such verification would result in significant radiation exposure.

Page 3 of 4 Revision 82

INSPECTION, TEST, AND OPERATING CHAPTER 14 STATUS The person who performs verifications (independent or concurrent) is qualified to perform such tasks. When placed into service, equipment receives additional surveillance during the run-in period. The on-duty supervisor responsible for the unit formally accepts equipment, which is returned to service.

Items that do not conform to specified requirements shall be controlled to prevent inadvertent installation or use.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. General Nonconforming items are processed in accordance with the corrective action program and / or documented procedures. The Company uses written procedures to identify and control items, services or activities that do not conform to requirements. These procedures address the:

- disposition of nonconforming items.

- documentation of identified nonconformances.

- identification of nonconforming items.

- notification of affected organizations.

- operability determination of the SSC with the identified nonconforming condition

- segregation of nonconforming items.

Implementation of these procedures prevents the inadvertent use, operation, or unauthorized installation of nonconforming items.

2.1.1. Supplier Nonconforming Items The Company and its suppliers establish and document measures for the identification, control and disposition of items and services that do not meet procurement document requirements. These measures provide for:

- a review of nonconforming items.

- supplier notification to the Company of a nonconformance. These notifications include a supplier recommended disposition (e.g. "use - as -

is" or "repair") and technical justification. The supplier submits nonconformances to the Company for approval if:

- the supplier has violated a technical or material requirement, or

- the supplier has violated a requirement in supplier documents, which have been approved by the Company, or

- the supplier cannot correct the nonconformance by continuation of the original manufacturing process or by rework, or Page 1 of 4 Revision 82

NONCONFORMING MATERIALS, CHAPTER 15 PARTS, OR COMPONENTS

- the item does not conform to the original procurement requirement even though the item can be restored to a condition such that the capability of the item to function is unimpaired.

- Company disposition of supplier recommendations.

- verification of disposition for nonconformances.

- maintenance of records for supplier nonconformances.

2.2. Identification The Company identifies nonconforming items by marking, tagging, or other methods, which do not adversely affect the end use of the item. The identification is legible and easily recognizable.

2.3. Segregation When practical, the Company segregates nonconforming items by placing them in a clearly identified and designated hold area until properly dispositioned.

When segregation is impractical or impossible due to physical conditions such as size, weight or access limitations, other precautions are employed to preclude inadvertent use of a nonconforming item.

2.4. Disposition 2.4.1. Control Nonconforming characteristics shall be reviewed and recommended dispositions of nonconforming items shall be proposed and approved in accordance with documented procedures. Further processing, delivery, installation, or use of a nonconforming item shall be controlled pending an evaluation and an approved disposition by authorized personnel.

2.4.2. Evaluation The Company has responsibility for resolution of nonconformances in accordance with written procedures. Where ASME Code requirements are involved, the Authorized Inspection Agency reviews and accepts or rejects the disposition and justification. Engineering provides technical justification and independent review of nonconformances dispositioned as repair or use-as-is.

For items under a contractor's direct control, the Company may delegate to the contractor the authority to perform a technical evaluation of nonconformances, if the contractor has an acceptable procedure for handling nonconforming items.

Where the Company delegates such authority, the contractor is responsible for establishing that:

- all actions fall within the requirements set by the Company.

- an accepted nonconformance meets the design intent.

- ASME Code items meet the requirements of the ASME Code.

Page 2 of 4 Revision 82

NONCONFORMING MATERIALS, CHAPTER 15 PARTS, OR COMPONENTS personnel performing the evaluation meet the requirements of section 2.4.3 below.

When a technical evaluation has not been delegated to a supplier, the Company makes a technical evaluation of all pertinent data relating to the nonconformity, including the cause, where known, and the corrective action either taken or planned to prevent recurrence per the corrective action program. The Company retains the responsibility for the satisfactory resolution of supplier nonconformances.

2.4.3. Personnel Personnel having expertise in the pertinent discipline determine whether a nonconforming item may be accepted "as - is," may be repaired to an acceptable condition, or must be rejected. These personnel have adequate competence and knowledge necessary to make this evaluation and have access to pertinent background information.

2.4.4. Documentation The Company identifies nonconforming items and documents their disposition (e.g. use - as - is, reject, repair, or rework). Each disposition is technically justified and traceable to each item. Appropriate documentation is retained.

Nonconformances to design requirements that are dispositioned as "use - as -

is" or "repair" is subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. The Company technically justifies dispositions designated "use - as - is," and "repair" to assure that the final condition of any nonconforming item meets applicable code requirements and will not adversely affect the safety, operability, or maintainability of the item, or of the component or system in which it is installed. The "as - built" records, if such records are required, reflect the accepted deviation.

If the nonconformance can be corrected after installation, the item may be released for installation on a conditional release basis. The Company documents the authority and technical justification for the conditional release of the item and makes it part of the documentation.

2.4.5. Repaired, Reworked, or Scrapped Items The Company re-examines repaired or reworked items using procedures and the original acceptance criteria unless the nonconforming item's disposition has established alternate acceptance criteria. Items that have been corrected are re-inspected or re-tested as required by the approved disposition.

The area of inspection may be confined to the area of the nonconformance.

When it has been determined that the corrected item is satisfactory, the status of the item is changed to "acceptable" and an appropriate entry is made in the documentation after acceptance is determined.

Page3 of4 Rvisin 8 Page 3 of 4 Revision 82

NONCONFORMING MATERIALS, CHAPTER 15 PARTS, OR COMPONENTS The Company scraps, discards or transfers to training usage a nonconforming item that cannot be corrected or accepted "as - is." Nonconforming items that are being used for training must be permanently identified and marked to prevent inadvertent or inappropriate use of the item.

CORRECTIVE ACTION CHAPTER 16

. 1, SCOPE This Chapter describes the Company program to identify and correct conditions adverse to quality.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. General The Company implements a Corrective Action Program to promptly identify and correct items or occurrences that are adverse to quality or might adversely affect the safe operation of a nuclear generating station. These items or occurrences are screened for reportability, operability, Part 21, etc. The Company makes a thorough investigation of occurrences and identifies corrective action to prevent recurrence of an event, as appropriate. Events may include reactor trips, failed equipment, personnel errors, and procedural infractions. Measures are taken to assure that the cause of any significant condition adverse to quality is determined and takes corrective action to prevent recurrence.

2.2. Conditions Adverse to Quality Measures are established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are identified and corrected. Examples of conditions adverse to quality are provided in procedures. Examples include failures, malfunctions, adverse trends, deficiencies (including programmatic), deviations, defective material, design errors, equipment, and nonconformance to specified requirements.

An independent review body reviews violations, deviations and reportable events that require a report to the NRC in accordance with regulatory requirements and company procedures. This includes the review of results of any investigations made and the recommendations resulting from such investigations. These include items such as:

- events, as defined in applicable site technical specifications.

- significant operating abnormalities or deviations from normal or expected performance of plant safety-related structures, systems, or components.

- violations of applicable codes, regulations, orders, technical specifications, license requirements or internal procedures or instructions having safety significance.

2.2.1. Significant Conditions Adverse to Quality In cases of significant conditions adverse to quality the cause of the condition is determined and documented, resolution determined and documented, and corrective action taken and documented to preclude recurrence.

Revision 82 Page 1 Page of 4 1 of 4 Revision 82

CORRECTIVE ACTION CHAPTER 16

1. Procurement The Company uses procedures that include methods for the identification of conditions adverse to quality and for timely corrective action. The Company requires individual vendors and their contractors to include corrective action measures in their quality assurance programs. In cases of significant conditions adverse to quality that arise during the procurement process, the Company uses procedures to describe the method used to:

- identify and document deviations and non-conformances.

- review and evaluate the conditions to determine the cause, extent and measures needed to correct and prevent recurrence.

- report the conditions and corrective action to the appropriate levels of management.

- implement and maintain required corrective action.

2. Plant Hardware Malfunctions The causes of malfunctions are determined, evaluated, and recorded, as appropriate. Experience with the malfunctioning equipment and similar components are reviewed and evaluated to determine if a replacement component of the same type can be expected to perform the function reliably. If evidence indicates that common components in safety-related systems have performed unsatisfactorily, corrective measures are planned prior to replacement or repair of all such components.

Appropriate procedures are revised in a timely manner to prevent recurrence of equipment malfunction or abnormal operation.

3. Incorrect Design When a significant design change is necessary because of an incorrect design, the Company reviews and modifies the design process and verification procedures, as appropriate. In cases of significant or recurring deficiencies (or errors), the Company follows written procedures to correct the deficiency (or error), determine the cause and make changes in the design process and the QAP to prevent similar types of deficiencies (or errors) from recurring.

2.3. Verification and Follow-up The Company verifies completion of corrective actions for maintenance, repair, refueling, operation activities, completion of corrective action taken for assessment deficiencies (including programmatic), and performs assessments of site corrective action. The Company tracks and verifies completion of corrective action taken for independent assessment findings and approves the completion of corrective actions.

Revision 82 Page 2 Page of 44 2 of Revision 82

CORRECTIVE ACTION CHAPTER 16 Trending and assessment results are evaluated to assure that corrective measures are implemented effectively and that actions to prevent recurrence are effective as appropriate. The Company also requires contractors and vendors to follow-up on corrective action commitments within their quality programs.

The Company regularly reviews and analyzes records to:

- assure that the causes of a nonconformance and the corrective action have been clearly described.

- assure that authorized Company personnel have evaluated the overall effect resulting from the use of nonconforming items.

- determine whether corrective measures will preclude recurrence.

2.4. Evaluation and Qualification Personnel performing the evaluation function are responsible for considering the cause and the feasibility of corrective action to assure that the necessary quality of an item is not deteriorated. Where it is determined that the cause cannot be corrected immediately, the due date of corrective action will be determined during the review and evaluation. Evaluation may indicate the need for investigations to assure that corrective measures are considered complete and may also indicate that the nature of the deficient condition is minor and does not require corrective action.

Qualified personnel are responsible for determining the root cause(s) of an event and developing recommendations to preclude recurrence. These personnel report the results of their determination to appropriate station personnel and Company management.

2.5. Documentation and Reporting The Company documents the identification of significant conditions adverse to quality, the cause of the condition, the corrective action taken, and reports these items to the appropriate levels of management, NSRB, and as applicable, PORC, If the identified issue is not an indication of a significant failure in any portion of the QAP, the Company does not require reporting to management.

Reports are made immediately if prompt corrective action is required. Formal reports are filed with the appropriate regulatory agency, when required. Reports of investigations include a detailed description of the occurrence, the findings of the investigation, and the recommended corrective measures. The Company notifies the rest of the nuclear industry of significant events with generic implications and its circumstances to help preclude a similar event occurring at another plant.

The Company keeps records to identify incidents (e.g., major damage, personal injury, major schedule delays.), non-conforming items, unfavorable conditions, programmatic deficiencies identified in assessment reports, significant equipment failures, and malfunctions that occur during station operation.

Page 3 of 4 Revision 82

CORRECTIVE ACTION CHAPTER 16 The Company tracks the completion of corrective actions for conditions adverse to quality and maintains records of their resolution. Parts or all of this system may be electronically monitored and electronic records may be used as the sole record of such a system.

ASSESSIVIENTS/AUDITS CHAPTER 18 ASSESMENS/AUITS HAPTR 1 O 1. SCOPE A documented, comprehensive system consisting of regulatory audits and performance assessments of the Company and its vendors are conducted to verify QAP compliance, adequacy, and effectiveness. Audits and assessments are conducted in accordance with written procedures and to the requirements of ASME NQA-1 to evaluate the assessed organization and to assure completion of required corrective actions, commitments, or improvements and determine effectiveness in meeting program objectives.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. Assessments and Audits - General 2.1.1. Scheduling The internal audit program is conducted on a performance driven frequency that is commensurate with the status and importance of the activity to be completed but does not exceed 24-months. Internal audit frequencies required by regulation that are different than the 24-month period are indicated within Appendix B, "Audit Frequency." Audit frequencies are determined based on a consideration of the risk and consequences with respect to the activities being assessed.

Audits may be extended beyond their originally scheduled due date based on the following criteria:

A. Audits shall be performed at the intervals designated in Appendix B, "Audit Frequency". Schedules are based on the month in which the audit starts.

B. A maximum extension not to exceed 25 percent of the audit interval is allowed. That is to say that, for audits on a 24-month frequency, the maximum time between specific audits does not exceed 30 months.

Likewise, audits on an annual (12 month) frequency do not extend beyond 15 months. Audits of Emergency Preparedness are not subject to the extension and will be performed on a frequency not to exceed 12 months.

C. When an audit interval extension greater than one month is used, the next audit for that particular audit area is scheduled from the original anniversary month rather than from the month of the extended audit.

D. Item B applies to supplier audits and evaluations except that a total combined interval for any three consecutive inspection or audit intervals does not exceed 3.25 times the specified inspection or audit interval.

Performance assessment activities are conducted to assure that safety related functions are fully evaluated. These planned and comprehensive internal assessment activities are performed to a schedule that includes assessment Revision 82 Page 1 of Page I of 4 4 Revision 82

ASSESSMENTWAUDITS CHAPTER18 areas and frequencies. The management position responsible for NOS, or designated staff member(s), approves them. Schedules are reviewed semi-annually and revised accordingly to assure that coverage is maintained current.

2.1.2. Preparation A documented plan or an agenda identifies an audit or assessment scope, requirements, audit and/or assessment personnel, activities to be evaluated, organizations to be notified, applicable documents, and schedule. An approved checklist or procedure for each scheduled audit and/or assessment identifies the quality and technical elements of the area or items to be evaluated.

Audit/Assessment plans, agendas, checklists, and procedures as applicable are prepared in advance under the direction of an Audit/Assessment Team Leader (ATL).

2.1.3. Personnel Experienced and qualified personnel perform assessments and audits and are familiar with written procedures, standards, and processes applicable to the area being evaluated. Assessment and audit personnel shall have sufficient authority and organizational freedom to make the assessment and audit process meaningful and effective and shall not have direct responsibilities in the areas to be assessed. They shall have access to the plant records necessary to fulfill their function.

The Assessment/Audit Team Leader shall organize and direct audits/assessments and ensure the team collectively has the required experience or training for the activities to be evaluated. Technical Specialists

.may supplement the team to provide additional experience and competence.

2.1.4. Performance Performance assessments are conducted to assess specific activities, processes, and records on the basis of their impact and imp6otance relative to safety, reliability, and functionality with respect to risks and consequences.

Assessments can be focussed on areas most in need of improvement.

Audits and assessments are initiated early to assure effective quality assurance during design, procurement, manufacturing, construction, installation, inspection, testing,, and operations. Additional unscheduled audits and assessments may also be performed at various stages of activities, based on the nature and safety significance of the work being done; to verify continued adherence to and effectiveness of the quality systems. Objective evidence shall be examined to the extent necessary to determine that a quality program is being effectively implemented.

ASSESSMENTS/AUDITS CHAPTER18 2.1.5. Reporting and Follow-up An audit report includes the description of the audit scope, identification of the team and personnel contacted during audit activities, a summary of results (including a statement on effectiveness of the QAP elements), and a description of each finding. The ATL shall sign the audit report for which he or she is responsible.

Audit and Assessment results are documented and distributed to the management position responsible for NOS, and to the appropriate managerial level of the organization having responsibility for the area or activity assessed.

Findings or deficiencies requiring prompt corrective action are reported immediately to the management of the assessed organization.

Findings, deficiencies and recommendations of each audit and assessment shall be reported to appropriate site management and the management position responsible for NOS. All findings of noncompliance with NRC requirements, and any significant nuclear safety or quality issues requiring escalated action, will be directed through the management position responsible for NOS to the President and CNO in accordance with procedural requirements.

Responsible management shall take the necessary actions to correct findings identified in the assessment/audit. They will identify the corrective action to be taken, actions that will prevent recurrence, and a schedule for implementing these actions. Responses to audit and assessment findings are reviewed for adequacy.

Follow-up verification of the completion of scheduled corrective action commitments are performed by NOS to assure findings or adverse conditions are corrected in accordance with procedural requirements. Follow-up action of previous deficient areas or adverse conditions (including re-audit) is taken to verify that corrective action has been completed, is effective, implementation continues, and is properly documented, when indicated.

2.1.6. Records Audit and Assessment results are documented and reports are generated and retained. Associated documentation is on file at the appropriate location.

Personnel qualification records for assessment and audit team members are established, maintained, and reviewed.

2.2. Vendor Audits Assessments, audits, or surveys of vendors and their sub-tier suppliers are performed to a pre-established schedule. Audits are performed on a triennial basis. Documented supplier performance monitoring is performed in accordance with approved procedures as an acceptable alternate to the performance of the annual evaluation of suppliers. The management position responsible for audits and programs or designee, shall review and approve the Page 3 of 4 Revision 82

ASSESSMENTS/AUDITS CHAPTER18 assessment/audit/survey schedule and checklists, and sign reports. Schedules are reviewed semi-annually and revised accordingly to assure that suppliers are assessed, audited, or surveyed as required.

Assessment program requirements are imposed on suppliers by appropriate contract or procurement documents. The Company's active participation in nuclear industry assessments provides an alternative means to fulfilling its responsibility for examining supplier activities.

2.3. Independent Management Assessment A periodic assessment (not to exceed 24 months) of the status and adequacy of the QAP is performed by an independent organization to assure that assessments are being accomplished to program requirements. The management position responsible for NOS submits the results of this assessment to the President and CNO.

AUGMENTED QUALITY APPENDIX A AUGMNTEDQUAITY PPENIXI O 1. SCOPE It is the Company's policy to assure a high degree of availability and reliability for its nuclear plants while ensuring the health and safety of the public and its workers. Therefore, the Quality Assurance Program is applied in a graded manner to certain areas and activities that are not clearly defined as safety related. The Company calls this application Augmented Quality. Augmented Quality includes systems and components that are subject to the requirements of ASME Code Sections: I "Power Boilers," IV "Hot Water Heaters," and VIII "Non-fired Pressure Vessels" (see sub-section 2.7. below). This appendix applies to all sites unless otherwise noted below or in Appendices B through G.

2. REQUIREMENTS The Company applies the following augmented quality requirements to certain systems, structures, components (SSC), and activities that are not safety related to a degree consistent with their importance to safety. Unless otherwise noted:

- routine audits are performed of the program's content and implementation.

- deficiencies are addressed in accordance with the corrective action program.

- program records of audits and reviews are maintained as required.

2.1. Health Physics and ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)

The Company develops, documents, and implements a radiation protection program sufficient to ensure compliance with the provisions of 10CFR20. The Company uses, to the extent practical, procedures and engineering controls based on sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to the public that are as low as reasonably achievable.

2.2.. Transport of Radioactive Waste When the Company contracts with vendors to transport radioactive waste in NRC approved shipping packages, it meets the requirements of 10CFR71, Subpart H. The Company assures that this service is procured from an organization with a QA program and if applicable, includes a NRC licensed transport system. Loading, surveying, closure, placarding, and inspections are conducted in accordance with written procedures and instructions.

Transport casks and trailers are inspected before release in accordance with Department of Transportation (DOT) 49CFR.

Shipping manifests, including final radiation surveys, are completed and retained. Radioactive waste shipments not meeting the requirements for NRC approved packaging, shall meet the requirements of DOT 49CFR.

Revision 82 Page 1 of 8 1 of 8 Revision 82

AUGMENTED QUALITY APPENDIX A 2.3. Services The Company procures services from qualified suppliers. It is not necessary that these suppliers have a quality assurance program approved by the licensee, however, suppliers should provide a quality assurance program that includes the quality assurance program elements presented in Reg. Guide 4.15, and routinely provide program data summaries sufficiently detailed to permit evaluation of the program for the following areas:

- meteorology.

- Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

- radiological environmental monitoring.

2.4. Fire Protection 10CFR50 Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 3 requires that the Company's nuclear facilities have an established fire protection program that provides fire protection features such that the adverse effect of fires on structures, systems and components important to safety is minimized. The quality assurance program established for these fire protection SSCs ensures that design, procurement, instruction, procedures, drawings, inspection, installation, testing, maintenance, operations, nonconforming Items, corrective Action, records, audits and administrative controls meet the applicable Quality Assurance guidelines as described in the applicable edition of Branch Technical Position (BTP) 9.5-1 for each Exelon site. Engineering determines what fire protection SSCs protect Structures, Systems, and Components important to safety. Engineering also establishes the requirements for the design, procurement, fabrication, installation and/or modification of these fire protection SSCs. Routine testing of fire protection systems assures reliability. All other fire protection equipment and supplies will be of commercial quality, in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines.

2.5. Station Blackout (Regulatory Guide 1.155)

Dresden, LaSalle, Limerick, Oyster Creek, Quad Cities and Three Mile Island stations rely on non-safety related equipment to achieve the redundancy required by 10CFR50.63. Quality Assurance requirements for Dresden, LaSalle, Limerick, Oyster Creek, Quad Cities and Three Mile Island are implemented in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.155 (Station Blackout), Appendix A and B.

Replacement and consumable parts and supplies are classified non-safety related in accordance with original specifications and are procured as commercial items. Routine testing of Station Blackout (SBO) SSCs assures the necessary redundancy is maintained. SBO SSC reliability is monitored in accordance with the Station's Maintenance Rule program.

2.6. Augmented Quality Requirements for Dresden 1, Peach Bottom 1, Zion Dresden 1, Peach Bottom 1, and Zion 1 & 2 have ceased commercial operation and will ultimately be decommissioned. Staffing, qualification of personnel, and RviioR8 Pag 2 f Page 2 of 8 Revision 82

AUGMENTED QUALITY APPENDIX A organization will be in accordance with the Dresden 1 and Zion De-fueled Technical Specifications (DTS) and De-fueled Safety Analysis Reports (DSAR),

and the Peach Bottom 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and Technical Specifications.

Select SSCs at Zion are considered non-safety related but "Important-to-De-fueled-Condition (ITDC)" as defined in the DSAR. Procurement of parts and components will be in accordance with this non-safety related but ITDC classification. Changes, tests, and experiments require the application of the design control measures that assure that applicable regulatory requirements, licensing and design bases, and codes and standards are correctly translated into specifications, procedures and instructions. These design control measures will include a review and evaluation in accordance with 10CFR50.59/72.48, except design verification. The originator's supervisor, providing the supervisor did not specify a singular design approach or rule out certain design considerations, may perform design verifications.

Except for inspections or examinations required for ASME repairs and replacements, station personnel may perform inspections provided they are experienced, task-qualified personnelor supervisors who did not supervise the activity being inspected. Nuclear Oversight will monitor this activity through periodic overview.

Timeliness of corrective actions is prioritized commensurate with the safety significance. Sufficient records of maintenance and modification activities will be maintained to evaluate failures, perform root cause analysis, if applicable, and determine appropriate corrective actions and to meet the requirements of the applicable DSAR or Peach Bottom Unit 1 UFSAR.

Audits are conducted of the Zion maintenance of shutdown facility and decommissioning activities at least annually until the termination of license.

2.6.1 Augmented Quality Requirements for Zion Station's Important to the Defueled Condition Structure, Systems, Components, and activities The following augmented quality requirements will be applied to non-safety related Important to Defueled Condition (ITDC) Structure, Systems, Components (SSCs), and activities as defined in the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR), and as shown in the following Zion Station Augmented Quality Matrix.

2.6.1.1 Design, Procurement, and Document Control - Measures will be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements, licensing and design bases, and standards are correctly translated into specification, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

Section 505.2500(a)(1 )(A) requires that the Company apply an approved Quality Assurance (QA) Program to such repairs and alterations and describe how it is applied. The following describes the Company's application of these rules.

- The Company has a QA Program that is reviewed and accepted by the NRC. In addition, the QA Program is reviewed and accepted by an accredited Authorized Inspection Agency. Authorized Inspectors are present at each of the Company's plants while ASME Code work is in progress.

- Chapter 1 of this QA Program describes the authority and responsibilities of the organization. It also describes the retention of responsibility by the Company when repair and modification activities are subcontracted.

- Chapter 3 requires that design and changes to designs be defined, documented, and controlled.

- Chapter 5 requires that all work be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions and procedures and be subject to appropriate process controls. Specifically, the Company uses the Nuclear Work Request (NWR) to authorize, track, and control work in the plant. The NWR system includes provisions for specifying when work is ASME Code related and is not limited to any particular section of the ASME Code. It further provides for detailed instructions to accomplish the work. This includes the need for qualified inspectors, qualified welders, qualified procedures, special processes, required documentation, approved drawings, and post-maintenance/post-modification testing. NWRs marked as ASME Code work is offered to the Authorized Inspector for the insertion of hold and witness points.

- Chapters 4, 7, 8, and 13 address the procurement, receiving, handling, storage, disbursement, and marking of materials. Implementing procedures establish traceability of materials to the procurement and receiving processes and provide assurance that only ASME Code acceptable materials are utilized. Any specific requirements for heat traceability will be in accordance with the applicable sections of the ASME Code being used.

- Chapter 9 details the controls for special processes while Chapter 10 details those for inspection. This includes the requirement for the use of independent, qualified inspectors and examiners when required by the ASME Code, and invokes the Company's Special Processes and Procedures Manual (SPPM). The SPPM is also reviewed and accepted by the Authorized Inspection Agency.

3. Regulatory Guide 1.37, March 16, 1973, "Quality Assurance Requirements for Cleaning Fluids Systems and Associated Components of Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants."

The OCNGS and TMI QAP complies with the Regulatory Position of this Guide with the following clarifications:

A. Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 states that required planning is frequently performed on a generic basis for application to many installations on one or more projects. This results in standard procedures or plans for installation and inspection and testing which meet the requirements of the Standard. Individual plans for each item or system are not normally prepared unless the work operations are unique. However, standard procedures or plans will be reviewed for applicability in each case. Installation plans or procedures are also limited in scope to those actions or activities, which are essential to maintain or achieve the required quality. This is consistent with Section 11, Paragraphs 2 and 3, of ANSI N45.2-1977, which provides for examination, measurement, or testing to assure quality or indirect control by monitoring of processing methods. However, final cleaning or flushing activities will be performed in accordance with procedures specific to the system.

Page 10 of 18 Revision 82

CODES, STANDARDS, AND GUIDES APPENDIX C B. Section 3.1.2.1 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 states that surfaces shall be examined without magnification under a lighting level (background plus supplementary lighting) of at least 100 foot candles. The Company intends to permit the use of neutral 18% gray card with a 1/32" black line for determining acceptability of illumination in lieu of the 100 foot candles.

4. Regulatory Guide 1.38, Rev. 2, May 1977, "Quality Assurance Requirements for Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage and Handling of Items for Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants."

The OCNGS and TMI QAP complies with the Regulatory Position of this Guide with the following modifications or clarifications to ANSI N45.2.2-1972,:

A. Section 2.7, Classification of Items. The four-level classification system for storage of items will be followed, however, the designated classification level may not be explicitly identified on the item. The classification level will, however, be traceable through the procurement documents. Classification differing from Section 2.7 will be considered acceptable provided no degradation is assured; for example, electric motors designed for outside service may be stored in a level C area rather than a level B.

B. Section 3.2, Levels of Packaging. The four level classification system for packaging of items may not be explicitly used. Standard commercial grade packaging requirements may be specified for commercial grade items.

C. Section 3.6 concerns prevention of halogenated materials from contacting stainless steel or nickel alloy materials. The clarifications applicable to Regulatory Guide 1.37, identified previously, also apply to this section of ANSI N45.2.2.

D. Section 3.7.1 Cleated, sheathed boxes will be used up to 1000 lbs.

rather than 500 lbs. as specified. This type of box is safe for, and has been tested for, loads up to 1000 lbs. Other material standards (i.e.,

FED Spec. PPP-8-601) allow this. Special qualification testing shall be required for loads in excess of 1000 lbs.

E. Section 7.4 states that a system should be established to indicate acceptability of all equipment and rigging after each inspection, specify control of non-conforming lifting equipment, and supplement periodic inspections with special visual and nondestructive examinations and dynamic load tests. In lieu of this, the Company does perform dynamic load tests on new equipment, preventive maintenance on cranes, nondestructive examination of lifting hooks annually, and a visual inspection of lifting equipment prior to use.

F. Appendix A 3.4.2, Inert Gas Blankets. There may be cases involving Page 11 of 18 Revision 82

CODES, STANDARDS, AND GUIDES APPENDIX C large or complex shapes for which an inert or dry air purge flow is provided rather than static gas blanket in order to provide adequate protection due to difficulty of providing a leak proof barrier. In these cases a positive pressure purge flow may be utilized as an alternate to a leak proof barrier.

G. Appendix A.3.5.2, Tapes will meet a sulfur limit of 0.30% by weight instead of 0.10% as specified in A.3.5.2 (1)(a). This limit is reasonable based upon the chemical content of commercially available tapes.

Tapes will be of a contrasting color rather than "Brightly Colored" as required by A.3.5.1 (3).

5. Regulatory Guide 1.39, Rev. 2, September 1977, "Housekeeping Requirements for Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants." Endorses ANSI N45.2.3 - 1973.

GRADED APPROACH (SITE SPECIFIC) APPENDIX F

1. SCOPE The Company establishes measures that provide a graded approach to quality at Oyster Creek and Three Mile Island Stations. The extent to which the requirements of this appendix and its associated implementing documents are applied to an item will be based upon the effect of a malfunction or failure of the item on nuclear safety or safe plant operations.

2. REQUIREMENTS 2.1. General The quality requirements for items within the scope of this appendix shall be established using approved procedures. Quality requirements will be established by the responsible organizational element and subject to assessment by Nuclear Oversight.

The need for special controls, and surveillance or maintaining of processes, equipment and of operational activities will be applied consistent with:

- The design and fabrication complexity or uniqueness of the item.

- The degree to which functionality can be demonstrated by inspection or test.

- The quality history and degree of standardization of the item.

The extent to which the requirements of the QATR apply to activities will be based, as a minimum, on Operating License conditions and other plans previously submitted to the NRC for approval, other regulatory commitments as may have been made associated with activities, the text of this Plan, the unit's Technical Specifications, and Appendix C of the QATR.

Such other plans or regulatory commitments include, but are not limited to, those associated with emergency planning, physical plant security, safeguard contingency planning, radiological controls, radiological environmental controls, fire protection, in-service inspection, in-service testing, licensed operator qualification and re-qualification, process control, off-site dose calculation, Shift Technical Advisor training, environmental qualification of electrical equipment, security guard training and qualification, etc.

2.2. Quality Classification The scope of the Company's QATR includes but is not limited to items and activities related to safe nuclear plant operation, protection of personnel, and protection of the public. To ensure consistency in identifying those items and activities within the scope of the QATR, a classification process has been developed and documented. This process relies on the use of the terms "Safety Related," "Augmented Quality," and "QATR Scope."

Page 1 of 3 Revision 82

GRADED APPROACH (SITE SPECIFIC) APPENDIX F 2.2.1. Nuclear Safety Related or Augmented Quality Items

1. Items within the scope of the QATR are designated as "Nuclear Safety Related" or "Augmented Quality." A quality classification process for Items has been developed. This classification process produces a Component Record List, which identifies the permanent plant structures, systems, and components that are within the scope of the QATR and their specific classification. New Items to which the QATR applies shall be added to the Component Record List subsequent to their installation.

The classification of structures, systems, and components shall be subject to independent design review as part of the classification process.

2. Spare or replacement parts and materials are not necessarily classified the same as the component of which they are a part. Such parts and materials that perform or contribute to the performance of a Safety Related or Augmented Quality function are within the scope of the QATR and classified similar to the component of which it is a part. For procurement of spare or replacement parts which are of a different classification, the classification will be determined by Procurement Engineering. The determinations will be documented, retained, and subject to review and assessment.

3. The classification of items and consumable items (such as chemicals, radwaste liners, diesel fuel, etc.) and the technical and quality requirements will be specified, documented and approved as part of the procurement process.

4. The QATR may be applied to items, other than those designated as "Safety Related" or "Augmented Quality" as specified by Company management.

2.2.2. QATR Scope Activities

1. Activities within the scope of the QATR are designated as within "QATR Scope." Activities that are within the scope are those directly related to nuclear and radiological safety and protection of the public and are delineated below.

2. Support activities within the scope of the QATR are quality classification, operating experience assessment, design, maintenance of environmental and fire protection qualification, nuclear fuel management, procurement, fabrication, handling, shipping, storage, cleaning, erecting, installing, testing, repairing, training, welding, in-service inspection, heat treatment, document control, records management, access authorization and fitness-for-duty.

3. Operational activities within the scope of the QATR are normal, abnormal and emergency operation, chemistry control, core performance monitoring, shift technical advice, equipment control, surveillance testing, in-service testing, maintenance, housekeeping, fire protection, security, Page 2 of 3 Revision 82

GRADED APPROACH (SITE SPECIFIC) APPENDIX F radiological controls, radiological environmental monitoring, radwaste preparation for shipment, radwaste shipment, fuel handling/refueling, technical specification compliance, and emergency preparedness.

4. Assurance activities within the scope of the QATR are assessment .(audit, document review, monitoring, survey, and surveillance), inspection, non-destructive examination, and safety review. Individuals who are not directly responsible for managing or performing the work or activity perform assurance activities. Nuclear Oversight personnel perform periodic assessments of the "assurance" activities performed by other organizational elements (e.g. NDE/ISI) to assure effectiveness and adequacy.

5. The above stated activities are controlled through the use of approved documents which are, as a minimum, consistent with the requirements of the QATR, the unit Operating License, specific Regulatory Guides to the extent listed and committed to in Appendix C of the QATR, the Final Safety Analysis Report, and other regulatory requirements and commitments.

6. A specific task associated with the above activities will be classified as within scope of the QATR depending upon:

- Statements within the text and the Regulatory Guides identified in Appendix C of the QATR.

- The relationship of the task to the safe operation of the nuclear plant.

- The relationship of the task to the protection of personnel from the effects of radiation.

- The relationship of the taskto protection of the health and safety of the public.

The relationship of the task to regulatory requirements and commitments.

- Other factors specified by Company management.
