DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR STATEMENT909QUA!iT ASSuANcE P0U*LCY 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 Installation (ISFSI) and the Passive SAFSTOR decommissioning of the LACBWR plant. The QAPO describes the quality assurance organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority and interfaces.

The QAPD applies to the Passive SAFSTOR decommissioning activities performed under 10 CFR 50, Appendix 8 and alt activities associated with structures, systems, and components which are Important to Safety under 1J0 CFR 72. The QAPD also applies to transportation packages licensed by the NRC under 10 CFR 71.

Requirements of the QAPO 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 0.

The Manager, Quality Assurance is responsible for the establishment and implementation of a quality assurance program which meets ali 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.

A., n~

The LACBWR Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) is designed to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix 5, 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 lSFS! 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 (DPG) to assure safe operation of the LACBWR lSFSI 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.

The program (1) shall be contained in the 0DCM, (2) shahl be implemented by health physics procedures, and (3) shall include remedial actions to be taken whenever the program limits are exceeded. The program shall include the following elements:

2.3.1 Limitations on the operability of radioactive liquid and gaseous monitoring instrumentation, including surveillance tests and setpoint determination in accordance with the methodology in the ODCM; 2.3.2 Limitations on the concentrations of radioactive material released in liquid effluents to unrestricted areas conforming to 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, and Column 2; 2.3.3 Monitoring, sampling and analysis of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents in accordance with 10 CFR 20 and with the methodology and parameters described in the 0DCM.

2.3.4 Limitations on the annual and quarterly doses or dose commitment to a member of the public from radioactive materials in liquid effluents released to unrestricted areas conforming to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I; 2.3.5 Determination of cumulative and projected dose contributions...

from radioactive effluents for the current calendar quarter and current calendar year in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the 00CM at least every year; 2.3.6 Limitations on the annual and quarterly doses to a member of the public from tritium and all radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days in gaseous effluents released to areas beyond the site boundary conforming to 10 CFR 50, Appendix I; QAPD 31 QAPD 28 31Rev.

APPENDIX C (Page 4 of 4) 2.3.7 Limitations on the annual dose or dose commitment to any member of the public due to release of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources conforming to 40 CFR Part 190.

2.4 R dooialE v on etlM ntrn Pr r m A program shall be provided to monitor the radiation and radionuclides in the environs of the plant. The program shall provide representative measurements of radioactivity in the highest potential exposure pathways. The program shall (1) be contained in the ODCM; (2) conform to the guidance of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I; and (3) include the following:

2.4.1 Monitoring, sampling, analysis, and reporting of radiation and radionudlides in the environment In accordance with the methodology and parameters described in the ODCM.

2.4.2 Participation in an Interlaboratory Comparison Program to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in the environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the Quality Assurance Program for environmental monitoring.

2.5 Reortl9 enuire~nts In addition to applicable reporting requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, the following reports shall be submitted prior to March 1 of each year in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4.

2.5.1 Annutal Radiolocaical Environmental Monitoring Re!ort An Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report which shall include summarized and tabulated results, including interpretations and analysis of data trends, of environmental samples taken during the previous calendar year. In the event that some results are not available for inctusion with the report, the report shall be submitted noting and explaining the reasons ....

for the missing results. The missing data shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report. ...

The report shall also include the following: a summary description of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program; a map of all sampling locations keyed to a table giving distances and directions from the plant; the results of the Interlaboratory Comparison Program; arnd a discussion of all analyses in which the lower limit of detection (LLD) was not achievable.

APPENDIX C (Page 4 of 4) 2.5.2 Annua Radioactiv Effunt Releas Re~oor Paragraph (a)(2) of 10 CFR 50.S6a, "Technical Specifications on Effluents from Nuclear Power Reactors,tm requires that a report be Smade to the Commission annually. The report shall specify the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas by liquid or gaseous effluents during the previous year. With the exception of the collection of hourly meteorological data, the information submitted shall be in Saccordance with Appendix B of Regulatory Guide 1.21 (Revision

1) dated June 1974 with data summarized on at least a quarterly basis.

This same report shall include an assessment, performed in accordance with the ODCM, of radiation doses to members of the public from radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents released beyond the effluent release boundary. This report shall contain any changes made to the 00CM during the previous twelve months.
