Manager, Quality Assurance APPROVED BY DATE1 President and CEO&

DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR STATEMENT OF QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY The Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) described herein has been developed by Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) to provide a consolidated overview of the quality program controls that govern the operation and maintenance of the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) Independent Spent Fuel Storage I nstallation (ISFSI) and the Passive SAFSTOR decommissioning of the LACBWR plant. The QAPD describes the quality assurance organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority and interfaces.

The QAPD applies to the Passive SAFSTOR decommissio-nin-g activities performed under 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and all activities associated with structures, systems, and components which are Important to Safety under 10 CFR 72. The QAPD also applies to transportation packages licensed by the NRC under 10 CFR 71.

Requirements of the QAPD are performed in a graded approach commensurate with an item's or an activity's importance to safety. This graded approach is responsive to NRC Regulatory Guide 7.10. The applicability of the requirements of the QAPD to other items and activities is determined on a case by case basis. The QAPD satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 71 Subpart H, and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G.

The Manager, Quality Assurance is responsible for the establishment and implementation of a quality assurance program which meets all regulatory requirements. The quality assurance program, as described in this QAPD, 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.

0.0 INTRODUCTION

A. General The LACBWR Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) is designed to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H, and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G and reflects the direction of applicable regulatory guides and industry standards, as they apply to the operation and maintenance of the LACBWR ISFSI and the Passive SAFSTOR phase of decommissioning the LACBWR plant, thereby assuring that risk to the health and safety of the public is not increased.

The quality assurance program described herein is applied by Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) to assure safe operation of the LACBWR ISFSI and safe Passive SAFSTOR decommissioning of the LACBWR plant. The QA program shall be applied to activities with a graded approach to quality that is commensurate with an item's or an activity's importance to safety such as design, engineering, procurement, installation, maintenance, modification, operations, and decommissioning by DPC or its contractors, and their subcontractors.

Quality Assurance (QA) as defined herein encompasses all those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that an Important To Safety structure, system, or component will perform its intended function satisfactorily. QA is recognized as an interdisciplinary function and not the sole responsibility of QA personnel.

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 shall be responsible for the quality of work. This includes quality control and verification that all work is performed in accordance with approved documents. QA personnel have responsibility for auditing these groups and assuring DPC management that the QA program is being fully and effectively implemented.

The requirements and commitments contained in this QAPD 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 QA program as well as its implementation.
