LACBWR QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (QAPD)

Revision 24 Impact Evaluation and Summary of Changes In an effort to more effectively and efficiently manage work activities at the LACBWR site during the upcoming dry cask storage loading campaign, the roles and responsibilities of key members of the management team are being realigned. The temporary position of Assistant Plant Manager has been established to provide assistance to the Plant Manager by assuming the functional direction of the plant staff (operational, maintenance, and administrative staff). This realignment will enable the Plant Manager to concentrate on the management of site's most pressing task of safe movement to dry cask storage of the spent fuel inventory. No quality requirements are being removed or altered as a result of adding the position of Assistant Plant Manager.

A telephonic discussion with LACBWR's NRC Project Manager was held on December 21, 2011, to convey the proposed organizational changes and the reasoning for this important managerial realignment. No adverse response to the proposed changes was received.

10 CFR 50.54(a)(1) states, in part, that each nuclear power plant or fuel reprocessing plant licensee subject to the quality assurance criteria in appendix B of this part shall implement, under

§ 50.34(b)(6)(ii) or § 52.79 of this chapter, the quality assurance progranm described or referenced in the safety analysis report, including changes to that report.

The regulation further states in subpart (3) that each licensee described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section may make a change to a previously accepted quality assurance program description included or referenced in the Safety Analysis Report without prior NRC approval, provided the change does not reduce the commitments in the program description as accepted by the NRC.

The changes proposed in Revision 24 to the QAPD do not represent a reduction in commitment because no quality requirements are removed. The addition of the Assistant Plant Manager merely shifts select responsibilities to this position while the Plant Manager maintains overall responsibility for the safe storage of the spent fuel inventory. The below listed changes are proposed to the currently approved LACBWR QAPD with an accompanying explanation which illustrates that these changes do not represent a reduction in written commitments contained in the previous revision of the QAPD.

The following changes are proposed for the LACBWR QAPD in Revision 24:

Section I, Organization, Part A, "Organization" Item 3: Responsibilities of the Plant Manager for activities pertaining to the operations, maintenance, and administrative staff have been assigned to the new position of Assistant Plant Manager. The Plant Manager shall retain overall responsibility for safety of the facility and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) as stated in the LACBWR Decommissioning Plan (FSAR).

Page 1 of 8

QAPD, Revision 24 Summary and Evaluation of Changes Item 4: The position of Assistant Plant Manager (APM) has been added reporting directly to the Plant Manager having responsibilities for the functional direction of the plant staff, (operations, maintenance, and administrative staff). The Plant Manager retains overall responsibility for implementation of quality requirements and responsibilities for reportability.

Note added after Item 4: "Note: The Assistant Plant Manager will have signature responsibility on procedures and instructions required to implement the requirements of this Plan for plant-related activities. Plans, procedures and instructions need not be revised to note this title change." This note provides clarification for implementation of this enhanced organizational change; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility.

Item 5: The term "Regulatory Matters" with respect to Manager, Quality Assurance (MQA) reporting has been more correctly changed to "quality assurance matters."

Item 9: The Operations, Training/Relief Supervisor will report directly to the APM; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant operations and training.

Item 12: The Fire Protection Supervisor will report directly to the APM; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for fire protection.

Item 13: The Health and Safety/Maintenance Supervisor will report directly to the APM; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant radiation protection, safety, and maintenance.

Item 20: The position of Utility Worker has been included with the Mechanical Personnel as that position is assigned to that group of workers.

Item 22: The Technical Support Staff provide both plant and project support services and, therefore, are responsible to both the Plant Manager and APM.

Item 23: The Administrative Staff will report directly to the APM.

Item 24 and 24.a: It was added that the ORC advisory role is to the APM on operations and nuclear safety as these areas functionally report to the APM.

Item 24.b: Chairman of the ORC was changed from Plant Manager to APM; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant operations. The Members of the ORC changed from Engineering Staff to Engineering staff as there is not a organizational position of Engineering Staff.

Item 24.g. 1): The determination of the need for changes to procedures was changed from Plant Manager to APM as the APM has daily responsibilities for plant procedures; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant operations.

Page 2 of 8

QAPD, Revision 24 Summary and Evaluation of Changes Item 24.h. 1): It was added that the APM is to receive notification of recommendations for approval or disapproval of programs and procedures as the APM has daily responsibilities for plant programs and procedures.

Item 24.h.3): Changed Plant Manager to APM in discussion of disagreements between ORC members and ORC Chairman due to assignment of the APM to the role of Chairman of ORC. Plant Manager is still responsible to resolve disagreements, thus maintaining the original QAPD commitment.

Item 25.b: Added APM as a member of the SRC to ensure daily operations issues are monitored and routinely presented to the SRC membership. The Plant Manager remains the senior plant representative on the SRC.

Section III, Design Control and Review, Part B, "Responsibilities" Item 1: Changed the responsibility title from "LACBWR Staff" to "LACBWR staff."

This change is made since there is no organizational position titled as Staff; instead it refers to all staff personnel.

Item 2: Changed responsibility from QA Department to Technical Support Staff as responsible for the review of design drawings, specifications, calculations, and procurement documents to assure that quality standards are included or referenced. This is a correction since QA Department performs oversight of the process, thus assuring independence of the process.

Item 4: Changed submittal of ORC changes and recommendations from the Plant Manager to the APM since he is the chairman of the ORC and has functional responsibility of plant changes; this does not reduce effectiveness since the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant operations.

Item 5: Changed review of ORC recommendations from the Plant Manager to the APM since the APM is the chairman of the ORC and has functional responsibility of plant changes; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant operations.

Section IV, Procurement Document Control, Part B, "Responsibilities" Items 1, 2 and 4: Changed the responsibility title from "LACBWR Staff' to "LACBWR staff." This change is made since there is no organizational position titled as Staff; instead it refers to all staff personnel.

Item 6: Added Item 6 stating, "The Quality Assurance Department is responsible for review of all procurement documents to ensure inclusion of appropriate quality requirements." This specific item was incorrectly included under Section III, Item 2.

Section IV, Procurement Document Control, Part C, "Requirements" Item 5: Removed "and engineering specifications" as well as "technical and" from Item 5 that states, "Purchase requisitions and engineering specifications shall be reviewed by Page 3 of 8

QAPD, Revic*.on 24 Summary and Evaluation of Changes the Quality Assurance Department to assure that all necessary technical and quality requirements are included or referenced." These activities are more appropriately performed by the Technical Support Staff as established in Section III and enable the Quality Assurance Department to maintain its independence.

Item 7: Removed Item 7 that stated, "The Plant Manager's approval is required prior to any changes being implemented to previously approved quality control orders." The Plant Manager's approval of the initial document was not required in this section.

Section V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, Part B, "Responsibilities" Item 1: Changed the responsibility title from "LACBWR Staff" to "LACBWR staff."

This change is made since there is no organizational position titled as Staff; instead it refers to all staff personnel.

Item 4: Changed to state, "The Assistant Plant Manager is responsible for approval of plant related procedures." since the APM is the chairman of the ORC.

Section V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, Part C, "Requirements" Item 5: Changed approval of ORC reviewed changes to plant procedures from the Plant Manager to the APM since the APM is the ORC Chairman and has functional responsibility of plant procedure changes; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant safety.

Section VI, Document Control Part B, "Responsibilities" Item 1: Changed the responsibility title from "LACBWR Staff' to "LACBWR staff."

This change is made since there is no organizational position titled as Staff, instead it refers to all staff personnel.

Item 3: Changed to state, "The Plant Manager is responsible for preparation of a standard procedure for controlling the issuance of project related drawings and specifications. The Assistant Plant Manager has responsibility for corresponding plant activities." This change clarifies the division of responsibilities between the Plant Manager and APM; however, the Plant Manager retains ultimate responsibility for plant operations.

Section VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services, Part B, "Responsibilities" Item 2: The term Engineering Staff is changed to Technical Support Staff as there is no organizational position of Engineering Staff.

Item 3: Changed the responsibility title from "LACBWR Staff" to "LACBWR staff."

This change is made since there is no organizational position titled as Staff; instead it refers to all staff personnel.

A. General The La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) Quality Assurance Program is designed to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 72, Subpart G and reflects the direction of applicable regulatory guides and industry standards, as they apply to a possession-only condition, and the installation of an ISFSI, thereby assuring that the health and safety of the public is not caused undue risk.

The program described herein is applied by Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) to assure safe operation of the LACBWR facility. It applies to those identified structures, systems, and components associated with a safe storage condition and a spent fuel storage installation. It shall be applied to activities such as design, procurement, modifications, fabrication, installation, maintenance, testing, and fuel handling at the LACBWR plant by DPC or its contractors, and their subcontractors.

Design and fabrication of shipping casks used for shipment of radioactive material will not be conducted under this Quality Assurance Program.

Quality Assurance (QA) as defined herein encompasses all those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a component, structure, or system will perform satisfactorily in service. It is recognized as an interdisciplinary function and not the sole responsibility of the Quality Assurance Department.

It is DPC's policy that the group performing and directly responsible for the work, such as project management, engineering, design, procurement, installation, maintenance, testing, and dismantlement is responsible for the quality of work. This includes quality control and verification that their work is performed in accordance with approved documents. The QA Department has responsibility for auditing the other groups and assuring DPC management that the QA Program is being fully and effectively implemented.
