1. Methodology
a. The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) previously known as Connecticut Yankee Quality Assurance Program (CYQAP) provides a consolidated overview of the quality program controls which govern the operation and maintenance of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The QAP describes the quality assurance organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority and interfaces.
b. The requirements and commitments contained in the QAP are mandatory and must be implemented, enforced, and adhered to by all individuals and organizations. Employees are encouraged to actively participate in the continued development of the QAP as well as its implementation. Changes should be promptly communicated when identified.
c. The QAP applies to all activities associated with structures, systems, and components (SSCs) which are important to safety (10CFR50, Appendix B and 10 CFR 72). The QAP also applies to transportation packages licensed by the NRC under 10 CFR 71. Implementation of the requirements of the QAP are done in a graded approach commensurate with an item or activities importance to safety. This graded approach is responsive to NRC Regulatory Guide 7.10.

The applicability of the requirements of the QAP to other items and activities is determined on a case-by-case basis. The QAP satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 71 Subpart H, and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G.

d. The QAP is implemented through the use of approved procedures (i.e., policies, directives, procedures, manuals, instructions, or other documents) which provide written guidance for the control of important to safety items and activities and provides for the development of documentation to demonstrate objective evidence of compliance with stated requirements.
2. Organization The organizational structure responsible for implementation of the QAP is described below, as well as in an organization chart provided in Appendix D. The specific organization titles for the quality assurance functions described in this QAP are identified in implementing procedures. The authority to accomplish the quality assurance functions described is delegated to the incumbent staff, as necessary, to fulfill the identified responsibility.
a. The President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reports to the CYAPCO Board of Directors and has ultimate responsibility for the operation of the ISFSI.
