Ultimate responsibility for the Quality Assurance (QA) Program rests with the licensee. The program entails quality assurance throughout all phases of this project as follows:

1. Conceptual design
2. Detailed engineering and design
3. Assembly and maintenance of quality control documentation for shop and field
4. Vendor selection
5. Surveillance of Vendor's shop inspection
6. Witnessing of key shop tests
7. Field inspection and quality control of erection
8. Equipment, installation, and testing specifications
9. Checkout of mechanical, fluid, and electrical systems
10. Startup testing
11. Periodic inservice performance tests.

The detailed working implementation of the Quality Assurance Program during the design and construction phase was delegated to Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (S&W), as agents for Duquesne Light Company, and to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, contractor for the Nuclear Steam Supply System. The Quality Assurance Organization shown in Figure A.1-1 describes the relationships which implemented the Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Program during the design and construction phase of BVPS-1.

A Quality Assurance organization has been developed with responsibility for auditing the Quality Assurance Program.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 20 A.1-2 Figures A.2-1 and A.2-2 show the Duquesne Light Company organization for quality assurance during the design and construction phase of BVPS-1. Figures A.3-1 , A.3-2 , and A.3-3 show the S&W quality assurance organization. Figures A.4-1 , A.4-2 , and A.4-3 depict the quality assurance organization of Westinghouse, the supplier of the Nuclear Steam Supply System. The S&W Quality Assurance Coordinator had direct contact with the Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Manager for quality assurance matters, as well as with the Westinghouse Project Manager during the design and construction phase.

Appendix A is organized as follows:

A.2 - Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Program

A.2.1 - Duquesne Light Company Design and Construction Quality Assurance Program applicable at the latest revision of the original FSAR (Amendment 18 dated November 1975), BVPS-1 A.2.2 - Operations Quality Assurance Program, BVPS-1, (Refer to FENOC Quality Assurance Program Manual) A.3 - Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Quality Assurance Program used during the Design and Construction Phase, BVPS-1 A.4 - Westinghouse Power Systems Division Quality Assurance Plan used during the Design and Construction Phase, BVPS-1 A.5 - Westinghouse Nuclear Fuels Division Reliability and Quality Assurance Program, BVPS-1 A.1.2 Quality Assurance Categories Equipment and structures, whether safety related or not, are subject to engineering review, and shop and field inspection to a degree proportional to the value of the equipment and to its contribution to safety, accessibility, reliability and operability.

The three quality assurance categories defined below are not levels of quality per se, but rather denote differences in application of the Quality Assurance Program. Category I and only Category I is intended to include activities affecting structures, systems, portions of systems, and equipment to which the 10CFR50, Appendix B criteria apply, i.e., structures, systems, portions of systems, and components which are safety related. Within that category, there may

be differences in the quality specified, depending upon the nature of the component and upon its contribution to public safety (e.g., the rebars in the intake structure differ in this respect from the material in the reactor vessel), but the formal Quality Assurance Program incorporating the intent of the eighteen criteria in Appendix B to 10CFR50 applies without exception to all items classified as Category I.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.1-3 The equipment and structures in Categories II and III are not safety related when considered in the above context. Hence, the applicability of the Quality Assurance Program for these categories is not determined by the eighteen criteria in Appendix B to 10CFR50 but rather by the Applicant's policy and is a matter of agreement between the Applicant and his agents and suppliers. Costly and critical power generation equipment in Category II normally are specified and inspected to a degree comparable to that afforded important safety-related equipment in Category I, but procedural aspects of quality assurance may be somewhat less stringent if so agreed to by the Applicant.

The various "classes" such as "piping class", Seismic Category I, etc., should not be confused with the quality assurance categories nor considered as subdivisions of the three categories.

The three quality assurance categories are defined as follows:

1. Category I - Plant systems, or portions of systems, structures and equipment whose failure or malfunction could cause a release of radioactivity that would endanger public safety. This category also includes equipment which is vital to a safe shutdown of the plant and the removal of decay and sensible heat, or equipment which is necessary to mitigate consequences to the public of a postulated accident.
2. Category II - Plant systems, portions of systems, structures and equipment that are essential for the reliable generation of power but which are not essential for a safe shutdown. Failure of this equipment could result in loss of generation but would not endanger public safety. A QA Category II designation is also applied to those systems and components which contain radioactive materials but whose failure would not effect public safety.
3. Category III - Plant systems, portions of systems, structures, and equipment which are not essential for the reliable generation of electricity and which do not contain radioactive material or whose failure could not result in the release of radioactive material.

The term "essential for the reliable generation of electric power" in the definition of Category II is interpreted to mean structures, systems and components, whose failure would result in a halt of electric power generation in about 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or less.

The term "not essential for the reliable generation of electricity" in the definition of Category III is interpreted to mean structures, systems and components, whose failure would not result in the halt of electric power generation in about 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or less.

The various structures, systems and components in the Beaver Valley Power Station which are QA Category I are listed in Table A.1-1.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.2-1 A.2 DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY Sections A.2.1 through A.2.1.18 describe the Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Program applicable during the design and construction of BVPS-1.

These methods include, as applicable, traceability to chemical and physical markings, comparison of material test reports against specified Code requirements, maintenance of identification through production phases by marking, tagging, or other means such as labeling, identification plates, color plates, color coding, etc.

Traceability requirements of Quality Assurance Category I items to their original chemical and physical characteristics are identified in the procurement specification and by reference to the requirements of applicable Codes and Standards. Traceability, when required, is maintained by quality-related documentation and/or by a physical marking system. A.3.8.2 Materials, Parts, and Components Where required, parts and components are identified by individual mark numbers or serial numbers to permit traceability to chemical and physical test reports and other quality

documentation prepared by the manufacturer in compliance with Code and specification

requirements.

General construction materials, such as reinforcing steel, random pipes, bolts, etc., are approved for use by the lot-acceptance and physical marking methods.

Material test reports for each heat of material within a given lot are checked for compliance with requirements of

specifications. A random sampling is made to assure that the reports examined are traceable to the material in the lot. The lot is released for use when the material is found to be acceptable by the Quality Control Inspector. Identification of lot-accepted materials is maintained, when required, by physical marking. For example, a color coding system is used for identifications of an accepted lot of random pipe, which identifies the ASTM/ASME designation, type, and pipe wall thickness. Certain power and control cables are similarly color coded for identification.

Mark numbers and similar identification coding assigned to items are used for identification purposes on drawings, specifications, correspondence, and reports concerning the item of equipment, and are maintained from start of design, through manufacture, shipping, installation, operation, maintenance, and throughout the life of the item. A.3.8.3 Identification and Control at Site The Superintendent of FQC is responsible for assuring the identification, classification, and segregation of all conforming materials and components at the job site by periodic audits.

The shop inspections and designated tests are performed by the manufacturer's personnel charged with the quality responsibility and these inspections are witnessed or verified by the S&W PQC Inspector as required. In addition to the specified tests, the PQC Inspector may be instructed to perform examination of large lots of material on a sampling basis. Equipment is not released for shipment until the summary of inspections is properly completed. A.3.10.3 Field Quality Control Inspection Material and components are inspected on receipt at the construction site. Field quality control personnel perform inspections of material and components during receiving, storage, handling, installation, and preparation for operation. The activities inspected and the criteria for acceptance are shown on approved drawings, specifications, manufacturer's special instructions, and in supporting procedures and instructions. Inspections and nondestructive tests are specified and performed where necessary to assure quality. Specific hold points when appropriate are included in the specification or are established by FQC to implement their

responsibilities as outlined in the FQC manual.

The Superintendent of FQC is responsible for assuring that the field inspection requirements have been met in the following construction activities:

1. Soils identification and control of moisture and compaction
2. Inspection of concrete forms, reinforcing steel, electrical, mechanical, and structural embedments prior to concrete placement
3. Verification of proper proportioning, mixing, and delivery of concrete BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-17 4. Inspection of structural steel erection and bearing pile installation, if applicable
5. Nondestructive examination of welding
6. Inspection for proper assembly of piping systems and components
7. Alignment and clearance of mechanical equipment
8. Verification of electrical cable routing, termination, and equipment installation
9. All other Quality Assurance Category I work not specified above.

Field piping fabrication and erection operations on Category I systems and equipment receive inprocess and final quality control inspections for assurance that the requirements of specifications and approved drawings are met. The inspections specified are documented and maintained at the construction site in the site quality assurance file. A.3.11 Test Control A.3.11.1 General Description Stone & Webster requires that shop, field installation, and pre-operational tests be specified and performed to ensure that structures, systems, or portions of systems, and components perform satisfactorily in service. Tests are controlled by specification and procedure requirements. A.3.11.2 Test Requirements Test requirements are set forth in procedures and specifications in accordance with engineering practices and Code requirements. Tests required by Codes and Standards are conducted and their results documented. A.3.11.3 Shop and Field Test Control The required testing of materials and components at vendors' and suppliers' shops is accomplished, identified, and performed in accordance with written test procedures that have been reviewed and evaluated by Stone & Webster.

Test results are reviewed to verify that tests have been performed in accordance with specified procedures and the results are within acceptance limits. Any deviations or questionable shop test data are reviewed by project engineering and instructions are issued for disposition in accordance with procedures for handling nonconforming material or components.

The Superintendent of FQC is responsible for assuring that all site quality control tests specified are performed in accordance with specifications and procedures.

An advisory Operations Engineer and a group of plant startup specialists are assigned by S&W

to the construction site to act in an advisory capacity to the Duquesne Light Company during preoperational testing activities. Preoperational test procedures are prepared by Duquesne Light Company with the assistance of S&W, Westinghouse, and major equipment suppliers.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-18 A.3.12 Control of Measuring and Testing Equipment A.3.12.1 General Description Stone & Webster specifications require that manufacturers and material suppliers control the calibration of tools, gages, instruments, and other measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting product quality on designated items. Verification of such control is made by the S&W Procurement Quality Control Inspector. Control over measuring and testing devices used by S&W and contractors and subcontractors at the construction site is implemented by the written procedures. These procedures require that the calibration and proper adjustment of measuring and testing devices be accomplished at established periods and against certified measurement standards that are traceable to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) when available.

Identification of, and calibration records for, testing and measuring equipment used in final acceptance inspection are established so that equipment can be readily recalled for recalibration or adjustment.

Contractors' calibration policy, schedule, and system for the control of measuring and test equipment is detailed in their applicable Quality Control Manual. These procedures are reviewed for adequacy by S&W. The Superintendent of FQC is responsible for auditing construction/contractor adherence to these procedures. A.3.12.2 Calibration Standards All calibrations are in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, codes and standards, specifications, or Stone & Webster instructions and are made against certified measurement

standards that have known valid relationships to NBS standards when available. A.3.13 Handling, Storage, and Shipping A.3.13.1 General Description Preservation of the quality of Quality Assurance Category I materials and equipment is maintained by implementation of procedures and/or instructions for prepackaging, cleaning and preparation identification, caution marking, protection against weathering, corrosion damage, and undue stressing. A.3.13.2 Instructions and Procedures The procurement specification details special requirements for handling, storage, and shipping, when required. Inspection of packaging and preparation for shipment at the manufacturer's

shop are performed as appropriate.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-19 Documented receiving inspection is performed at the construction site by field quality control personnel in accordance with established procedures and instructions. Material status is clearly

shown by a tagging system. The storage of plant equipment and/or material is controlled to assure the quality is not impaired during the storage period. Materials are placed in a proper state of preservation prior to storage. The four classes of storage used are:

1. Special Environment
2. Inside Heated
3. Inside (includes inside unheated and outside protected)
4. Outside.

The special environment class provides for special protection such as inert gas blankets, humidity level control, etc., where applicable. All storage areas are inspected by and any nonconformance or protection degradation is corrected. The field quality control storage program is continuous from receipt until the material is released for preliminary operation. A.3.14 Inspection, Test, and Operating Status A.3.14.1 General Description The Quality Assurance Program provides measures for indicating the status of tests and inspections performed on materials, parts, and components, and the operating status of

structures, systems, and components. A.3.14.2 Inspection and Test Status System The status of an item is indicated by means of stickers, tags, equipment record cards, FQC preoperational test records, and checkoff lists. Inspection and test status are defined in three general categories described below:

1. ACCEPT: Materials, parts, and components which are inspected and found satisfactory, and in conformance with applicable specifications. This status is recorded and only accepted materials, parts, and components are released for use to warehouse facilities, storage areas, or fabrication and erection areas.
2. REJECT: Materials, parts, and components which are inspected and found unsatisfactory, and not in accordance with applicable specifications. This

status is recorded, and rejected items are tagged or segregated to a controlled reject area until such time that a disposition is made. If segregation of rejected materials is not practical, the items are physically tagged to clearly show status.

3. HOLD: Materials, parts, and components that have been received at the receiving inspection area and are awaiting: inspection, identification, or documentation.

The HOLD status is identified on a written record and the item is appropriately tagged, where practical. Such items are physically segregated (where practicable) from accepted items until a

disposition of the HOLD status is made.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-20 A.3.14.3 Preoperational and Operating Status Procedures for the turnover of systems and components to the plant operating personnel are mutually established by the Duquesne Light Company and S&W. S&W Field Quality Control activities are complete when final acceptance is provided by Duquesne Light Company. Preoperational testing and plant operation are accomplished by the Duquesne Light Company operating personnel in accordance with written procedures prepared by the Duquesne Light Company. A.3.15 Nonconforming Materials, Parts, and Components Measures are taken to control nonconforming material, parts, or components. Materials, equipment, and workmanship deviating from approved specifications, codes, plans, or other applicable documents are considered nonconformances and are controlled in order to prevent their inadvertent use in fabrication and/or installation. The control of nonconformance is detailed in written procedures which describe specific identification, documentation, segregation, disposition, and notification requirements. Nonconformances discovered during any phase of engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, shipment, receipt, storage, installation, construction, or testing are reviewed and accepte d, rejected, repaired, reworked, or scrapped in accordance with documented procedures.

Procedures reference the individuals' and groups' responsibility for assigning dispositions to those nonconformances that can or cannot be corrected or can be accepted as is to meet the specified requirements. A.3.15.1 Nonconformities at Vendor Shops A nonconformity discovered in a vendor's shop by a PQC Inspector, which requires an S&W engineering resolution, is reported on his Inspection Report and recorded on a Nonconformity

and Disposition Report. These reports are sent to the PQC Division and the Project Engineer in accordance with the Procurement Quality Control Manual. A.3.15.2 Nonconformities at Construction Site Written procedures in the Field Quality Control Manual detail the Stone & Webster system of documenting, disposing of, and controlling nonconforming items. If a deficiency can be

corrected within the scope of the specification requirements, the disposition may come from the Resident Construction Manager or the Resident Engineer. These conditions are reported and dispositions indicated on Nonconformance and Disposition Report.

If the deficiency cannot be resolved to meet the specification or requires a special repair procedure, a Nonconformance and Disposition Report is written and forwarded to project

engineering for disposition.

The nonconformance is considered closed when the required disposition has been accomplished and reinspection verifies that adherence to disposition requirements have been met. The N&D is then signed by the Superintendent of FQC or his designee and entered in the

site quality assurance file.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-21 A.3.16 Corrective Action A.3.16.1 General Description For those Nonconformance and Disposition Reports, as described in Section A.3.15, where corrective action is required, the individual corrective action is assigned in most cases by those individuals or groups who organizationally are responsible for preventing recurrence.

Nonconformance and Disposition Reports issued for shop and field nonconforming items are reviewed by the Quality Assurance Department for conditions adverse to quality and to control

recurring discrepancies.

The Project Quality Assurance Coordinator is responsible for follow through of corrective actions resulting from internal project audits and from AEC and Duquesne Light Company audits. A.3.16.2 Recurrence Preventive Action Feedback information on nonconformities is transmitted from shop and field to headquarters and collected using a computer program. The data are analyzed and evaluated by quality assurance personnel, after which corrective action is recommended to assist in controlling and preventing recurrences of nonconformances.

In accordance with procedures in the Engineering Assurance Manual, significant conditions adverse to quality in engineering, design, and construction are documented in Problem Reports, which include the cause and the corrective action taken. These Problem Reports are sent to appropriate levels of management and to those individuals or groups responsible for developing and implementing preventive action. Audits are conducted to access the effectiveness of this system for management evaluation. The EA Manual also implements a comprehensive feedback system for communicating information concerning problems or abnormal experiences at both S&W facilities and other facilities. This feedback system includes the review of government and industry published literature for potential problems related to power plant engineering, design, construction, and quality assurance. The information developed from this review is published for information and/or action to assure appropriate action is taken to prevent occurrence (or recurrence) of the problem. A.3.16.3 Reporting Significant Deficiencies The EA Manual gives the policy and methods for complying with 10CFR50.55(e) (Reporting of Significant Deficiencies to the AEC). A.3.17 Quality Assurance Records A.3.17.1 General Description The S&W project quality assurance records system are defined in procedures, instructions, and in procurement and erection specifications. Procedures and instructions govern the general and specific requirements, development, transmittal and receipt, checking, storage, retrieval, and

disposition of quality control and quality assurance records.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-22 The records system includes those records which define a design feature or provide evidence of the accuracy and proper execution of engineering design, quality assurance, construction, and testing. These documents include, but are not limited to: calculations, drawings, specifications, procedures, purchase orders, inspection and nondestructive testing records, and records of preoperational and operational tests. A.3.17.2 Quality Assurance Records Requirements Specific records requirements are identified in procurement, erection, and test specification, and include records of the results of reviews, inspections, tests, audits, monitoring of work performance, and qualification of procedures. Records requirements associated with equipment and components are summarized on the Test, Inspection, and Documentation Report Form (TID) or equivalent which is part of each Quality Assurance Category I procurement and erection specification.

Procedures included in the Quality Manuals provide instructions on the preparation of quality-related records, the handling and documentation of nonconformances in the shop and field, and

the review of quality control and quality assurance records by responsible authority. A.3.17.3 Engineering and Design Records Engineering and design records consist basically of engineering studies, calculations, designs, specifications, and drawings. Documents generated during the engineering and design phases of the project are generally retained in the project files and at designated work locations at headquarters in Boston until job completion.

Engineering and design records which become part of the lifetime or nonpermanent records retention system for the plant are properly identified and forwarded to the Duquesne Light Company for entry into the records retention system at a mutually agreed upon time toward the end of project. A.3.17.4 Installation and Construction Records During the construction period, the Superintendent of FQC establishes and maintains a site Quality Assurance file on site. This file contains all final quality-related documentation as identified in the Field Quality Control Manual. Records in the site quality assurance file are retained for the duration of the construction phase. Duquesne Light Company will advise S&W

of its record needs and these records will be transferred to the Duquesne Light Company for the

operational phase.

Detailed quality-related records and information, generated by contractors and subcontractors, are entered into the site quality assurance file. FQC personnel audit records requirements imposed on jobsite contractors and subcontractors. A.3.17.5 Collection, Storage, and Maintenance of Quality Assurance Records Requirements for the collection, storage, and maintenance of records are established by procedures which are consistent with applicable codes and standards, regulatory requirements, and other requirements that may be established by the Duquesne Light Company.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-23 A.3.18 Audits A.3.18.1 General Description The Quality Assurance Program provides for planned audits that verify compliance with the quality-related requirements specified for the project. Audits aid in ensuring proper and timely implementation, compliance, and consistency in the discharge of assigned responsibilities.

The frequency of quality assurance audits is based on the results of previous audits, significance of reported nonconformances, and schedules of work accomplishment.

Audits are performed in accordance with written procedures and audit plans by engineering assurance, quality control, and quality assurance personnel who, by the nature of their position, are independent from the work functions being audited.

The audits program encompasses quality-related activities in the following areas:

1. Control of engineering designs, specifications, and drawings, including authorized changes thereto
2. Control of suppliers' quality
3. Materials control
4. Manufacturing processes and controls
5. Measuring and test equipment
6. Inspection and test control
7. Records of inspections
8. Control of nonconformities and dispositions
9. Control of special processes
10. Handling and storage of equipment
11. Construction and erection activities
12. Quality assurance and quality control records
13. Conformance to requirements of the applicable quality assurance manuals
14. Conformance to Safety Analysis Report commitments.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.3-24 A.3.18.2 Quality Assurance Program Audits The requirements for conducting Quality Assurance Program audits of quality-related activities are detailed in the project quality assurance program manual listed in Section A.3.2.2. A.3.18.3 Audit Results and Reports Audit results are documented and reviewed by management having responsibility in the area audited.

When necessary, recommendations and corrective actions are outlined in the audit reports. Engineering assurance, quality control and quality assurance auditors follow-up those recommendations and assigned corrective actions in order to determine their effectiveness.

The results of follow-up actions are also reported to management and those directly concerned.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-1 A.4 WESTINGHOUSE PRESSURIZED WATER REACTOR SYSTEMS DIVISION QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN (Design & Construction Phase)

Section A.4 describes the Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor Systems Division Quality Assurance Plan applicable during the design and construction phase of BVPS-1. For convenience, this section is retained in the Updated FSAR as a history of the program in effect during that phase of the project.

A.4.1 Purpose This plan describes the Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor Systems Division Quality Assurance (QA) Program for the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS). Its purpose is to describe the procedures and actions used by Westinghouse to assure that the design, materials, and workmanship employed in the fabrication and construction of systems, components, and installations within the Westinghouse scope of responsibility in a nuclear power plant are controlled and meet all applicable requirements of safety, reliability, operation, and maintenance.

This plan is a requirement for, but it is not necessarily limited to, those components and systems of the plant having a vital role in the prevention or mitigation of the consequences of accidents which can cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

The quality plan is structured to provide, first a statement of quality assurance philosophy followed by an overview of the Quality Assurance Program. Sections A.4.3.1 through A.4.3.18 address each of the Quality Assurance Criteria, 10CFR50, Appendix B. For each criterion, the measures employed are described in sufficient detail to allow the reader to understand the Quality Assurance Program. A.4.2 Philosophy and Overview The Nuclear Energy Systems (NES) philosophy on quality assurance is to provide reliable, high quality products. This philosophy has existed since Westinghouse began furnishing nuclear plant services and equipment.

Written administrative and technical policies, procedures, and instructions are in use in Westinghouse to implement the Quality Assurance Program. They are in formats appropriate to their applications.

Technical and contractual information to assure effective implementation of these policies and procedures is developed, documented, and controlled. Procedures are reviewed and revised on a continuing basis by the issuing authorities so that the procedures meet the needs for which they are intended. Management reviews performance in accordance with these procedures to ensure compliance. Independent audits, as described later, provide objective assurance of both the adequacy of the procedures and compliance with them.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-2 A.4.3 Quality Assurance During Design and Construction A.4.3.1 Organization NES is comprised of a number of operating divisions under an executive vice president, as shown in Figure A.4-1. The authority and responsibility of e ach activity shown on this chart and subsequent charts is set forth in an approved, written statement of group responsibility. In addition, written position descriptions are prepared for each management and professional position. These descriptions specify the educational and experimental qualifications of the position.

The quality assurance aspects of NES activities are overseen and coordinated by the NES Quality Assurance Committee. This Committee, appointed by the NES Executive Vice-President, is made up of the quality assurance and reliability managers of the NES divisions.

The Committee monitors activities throughout NES to provide assurance to NES management that requirements relating to quality assurance are effectively met. The Committee also considers matters of policy to improve and unify the divisions' quality assurance systems.

Overall contract responsibility for supplying the NSSS is assigned to a project manager within PWR Systems Division (PWR-SD). He provides the focal point for communications among the NES divisions, the applicant, and the architect engineer.

The following is a summary of responsibilities involved in furnishing NSSS equipment and

services.

PWR-SD, as shown in Figure A.4-2 , is the lead NES Division with regard to the project management, design, and procurement of NSSS equipment.

The Project Department of PWR-SD, through a designated Project Manager, has the primary responsibility within NES for supplying the NSSS equipment and services to the applicant.

The Engineering Department of PWR-SD has the responsibility for the overall design of the NSSS. This responsibility includes:

1. Nuclear, thermal, and hydraulic design by Core Engineering
2. Fluid and electrical systems design by Systems Engineering
3. Mechanical equipment design and mechanics and materials support by Plant Apparatus
4. Control and electrical equipment design by Control and Electrical Systems
5. Licensing services by Safety and Licensing
6. Quality Assurance and Reliability.

The Engineering group within the Nuclear Services Department has design responsibility for

containment fan coolers and ventilation equipment.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-3 The Purchasing Department provides the PWR-SD interface with suppliers and with other NES divisions.

The responsibility of PWR-SD at the plant site involves construction consulting. This responsibility is within the Nuclear Construction Department.

The PWR-SD Quality Assurance Department consists of five sections: mechanical equipment, pressure vessels, electrical, reliability engineering, and quality planning. The Quality Assurance Department has responsibility for supplier surveillance, quality assurance audits of the design functions, review of design documents, design reviews, quality documentations, and data feedback and analysis.

Functional Relationships PWR-SD is divided into a number of functional groups having both direct and indirect responsibility for aspects of the design, fabrication, and construction phases of the project.

Close association and interchange of information at all levels exists among the functional

groups.

Table A.4-1 and Figure A.4-3 show the relationships among these groups. Figure A.4-3 depicts a functional rather than formal organizational structure. For example, contractual requirements originate in projects and are distributed to licensing and reliability, system functional requirement groups, system design groups, and the equipment design and procurement groups. It can be seen that all aspects of the project are considered at each stage in the overall program, with the respective lead functional group coordinating the efforts of the associated functional groups.

Functional Responsibilities The functional responsibilities of designing and fabricating NSSS equipment are shown in Table A.4-2. The responsibilities are broken down into three categories: design criteria, detail design, and manufacture. For each category, the organization responsible for performing the particular function is identified. Table A.4-2 identifies the scope of the Quality Assurance Program for both safety and non-safety equipment. The identification of safety-related equipment is covered in other chapters of this report. A.4.3.2 Quality Assurance Program The PWR-SD policy is to provide nuclear power equipment and services that will provide an electric utility with a safe and reliable plant throughout its design life.

This plan is a description of the PWR-SD Quality Assurance Program. The program is supported by written policies and procedures governing quality-related functions and activities from initiation of design through fabrication and shipment. Identification of the principal quality assurance documents is contained throughout this plan.

This plan demonstrates that the PWR-SD Quality Assurance Program complies with the criteria of Appendix B of 10CFR50. In order to facilitate the presentation, measures established for the Quality Assurance Program are described for each criterion.

The Quality Assurance Program provides that contractors and suppliers of NSSS equipment have quality systems consistent with the requirements of the Quality Assurance Criteria.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-4 A.4.3.3 Design Control Each of the various groups within PWR-SD involved in NSSS design provide measures to assure effective design control. Below is a description of the design control procedures which provide methods for controlling such activities as: specifying quality standards, selection and review, design changes, design interfaces, and implementation of procedures.

The project manager is responsible for identifying to engineering, purchasing, licensing, and

quality assurance groups the technical requirements of a nuclear power plant. This identification process is formal and documented. The distribution of this technical information is the start of the design activity on a nuclear pow er plant. Changes to distributed information are also originated by the project manager.

Safety and licensing prepares safety analysis reports. Prior to the submittal of NSSS portions of safety analysis reports to the applicant, licensing engineers obtain engineering, projects, and quality assurance review and concurrence of technical content. The review process is formal and documented.

Based upon the identified technical parameters, Core and Systems Engineering groups design the nuclear power plant to meet functional, safety, and regulatory requirements. Mechanical and electrical design engineers participate in the functional design process by identifying equipment limitations and resolving functional requirements with equipment capabilities. The output of the core and systems engineering groups is written functional parameters documents.

Control and electrical system engineers, Plant Apparatus Division mechanical design engineers, and Nuclear Service Department engineers are responsible for designing or specifying the NSSS equipment. Equipment specifications are prepared by the electrical and mechanical design engineers. The term "Equipment Specification" as used in this plan includes drawings

when they are used instead of equipment specifications. Detailed quality control requirements are specified in the equipment specification or its references. Examples of these are nondestructive tests, acceptance standards, functional tests, and recording the measured values of key characteristics. In the few cases when equipment specifications or design drawings are not used, the specific quality control requirements, tests, and acceptance standards are identified in the purchase order. The design of equipment also provides for access to components for inservice inspection and maintenance as required to assure continued integrity throughout the life of the plant.

Preliminary equipment specifications are reviewed within Westinghouse by systems engineers, materials and process engineers, licensing engineers, quality assurance, Project, and others as required. These independent reviews verify that equipment specifications meet systems requirements, conform to established engineering standards, are adequate from a metallurgical and welding point of view, meet code requirements, satisfy safety requirements including those specified in safety analysis reports, and contain necessary quality control requirements. Written engineering instructions describe the requirements of the review and require written documentation.

Documented procedures control design changes. These procedures require appropriate groups to review and approve the changes according to written engineering instructions.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-5 Aspects of the equipment design that have an effect on that part of the plant design performed by the applicant or architect engineer are forwarded to them for their review. Applicant or architect engineer drawings which have an effect on the NES scope of supply are likewise sent to NES engineers for their review.

The implementation of the design control system is audited by Quality Assurance Department.

In addition to the verification of technical requirements discussed above, formal design reviews are conducted by Reliability Engineering on critical systems, subsystems, and components to improve their reliability and to reduce fabrication installation, and maintenance costs. The design reviews are comprehensive, systematic studies by personnel representing a variety of disciplines which are not directly associated with the development of the product. Specialists from other Westinghouse divisions and outside consultants are used in the reviews as

necessary. Information developed by the reviews is recorded for evaluation and action by the cognizant design engineer. The design review procedure requires the resolution of open items within specified periods. Reliability engineers verify completed action.

The design review program is projected over a substantial period of time because of the

comprehensive nature of each review. Both the scheduling of the review and the selection of specific equipment for review are based upon many considerations including whether the equipment is of a new design, its importance to public health and safety, its importance to plant availability and performance, and previous experience with the equipment. In this priority scheme, some equipment of proven design may not receive a formal design review.

Verification calculations and performance testing are accomplished as necessary. A discussion of the means by which seismic requirements are satisfied describes the decision and control process involved. Seismic criteria are provided by the applicant. These criteria are forwarded by the project manager, as previously described, to the Mechanics Technology group within Plant Apparatus. A seismic coordinator distributes the seismic criteria to equipment design engineers for inclusion in equipment specifications. These specifications, which are reviewed by Mechanics Technology personnel, require supplier sub mittal of either calculations or tests data demonstrating that the equipment is seismically qualified. The design engineer reviews and checks the supplier submittals. Seismic calculations are forwarded to the Mechanics Technology group for final review and certification. The final review process includes an independent recalculation when the seismic adequacy is doubted. The various events within this process, for example, equipment specification review, are performed in accordance with procedures which require documented results.

Interface Control Operating procedures and instructions detail the interfaces between participating NES organizations. Purchase order requirements clearly define supplier responsibilities with respect to design specifications and approvals. There the interface is particularly complex, separate interface documents are prepared. An example of this situation is the PWR Systems Division-

NFD interface document.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-6 A.4.3.4 Procurement Document Control In general, the procurement of components, systems, structures, and material within PWR-SD falls into two distinct areas:

1. Components procured by PWR from Nuclear Equipment Divisions
2. Components, systems, and structures procured by PWR from non-NES suppliers.

As described in Section A.4.3, equipment specifications and drawings receive a detailed review prior to issue. Purchase orders reference equipment specifications and drawings as the technical basis of procurement. A quality assurance procedure requires quality engineers to review purchase order. The review process assures that the purchase order defines the equipment being procured and clearly specifies technical and quality requirements. When discrepancies are noted, a written request for corrections is initiated.

Quality requirements that apply specifically to a component are contained in the equipment specification. Quality system requirements of a general nature are contained in two standard

documents.

The first document is entitled, "Administrative Specification for the Procurement of Nuclear Steam Supply System Components." This document is applied in all component purchase orders. The Administrative Specification requires the supplier not only to manufacture equipment that conforms to purchase order requirements, but to assure himself and Westinghouse by means of appropriate inspections and tests that the equipment conforms to these requirements. The quality control section of this specification contains specific requirements in areas such as:

1. Organization
2. Purchasing control
3. Receiving inspection
4. Material control
5. Control of drawing and procedures
6. Calibration of measuring and test equipment
7. Personnel qualifications
8. Deviations from specifications
9. Special process and test procedures
10. Handling and storage procedures
11. Inspection and manufacturing control

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-7 12. Quality records

13. Quality release.

The second document that specifies quality requirements is QCS-1, "Manufacturer's Quality Control Systems Requirements". This document is applied to orders for more critical safety equipment. This document requires the supplier to maintain an adequate quality control systems. This specification meets NA 4000 of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code in the area of quality control system requirements. QCS-1 requires the following, among other things:

1. Establishment and maintenance of a system for the control of quality that assures that all supplies and services meet all specification, drawing, and contract requirements
2. Application of the system to subcontracted items
3. Written procedures that implement the system
4. Qualification of personnel
5. Qualification and control of processes including welding, heat treating, nondestructive testing, quality audits, and inspection techniques.
6. Operation under a controlled manufacturing system such as process sheets, travelers, etc.
7. Written inspection plans for in-process and final inspection
8. Submittal of inspection checklists for approval
9. Recording of results of inspection operations
10. Written work and inspection instructions, for handling, storage, shipping, preservation, and packaging.

As required, inspection hold points are specified in the equipment specification or elsewhere in the purchase order. These are points of witness or inspection by Westinghouse beyond which work may not proceed without approval by PWR-SD.

NSSS equipment ordered by PWR-SD from other NES divisions is specified by equipment specifications or drawings. Quality assurance programs have been developed and implemented by these divisions that meet the intent of 10CFR50, Appendix B.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-8 A.4.3.5 Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings Within PWR-SD, written procedures and instructions are in use to implement the Quality Assurance Program and provide assurance that all activities affecting quality in the context of 10CFR50, Appendix B, are documented. They are in formats appropriate to their applications, such as:

1. Management responsibility statements
2. Position descriptions of management and professional personnel
3. Engineering instructions
4. Quality assurance and reliability procedures
5. Projects procedures
6. Purchasing procedures
7. Construction site procedures.

Each of the above contains detailed procedures and instructions relating to the functioning of the Quality Assurance Program. Approval and distribution of the procedures is controlled by the manager responsible. For example, engineering procedures within PWR are approved by the Engineering Manager and distribution is controlled by his staff. Other groups affected by one department's procedures review the procedures prior to their approval.

Table A.4-3 identifies, for the various PWR manuals and written procedures, the 10CFR50

criteria which are addressed.

Technical and contractual information necessary to assure effective implementation of these policies, and procedures is developed, documented, and controlled through a standard Westinghouse system which consists in part of the establishment of:

1. System Design Parameters
2. Equipment Specifications
3. Corporate Process Specifications
4. Corporate Material Test Specifications
5. Corporate Purchasing Department Specifications (including specifications for materials)
6. Component Specifications
7. Drawings, Drawing Lists, and Bills of Material
8. Purchase Orders

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-9 9. Operating Procedures

10. Quality Assurance Procedures.

The Quality Assurance Program provides that all activities affecting quality will be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, drawings, and the appropriate quantitative and qualitative means of verifying quality are satisfactorily accomplished and

included as appropriate. A.4.3.6 Document Control The PWR-SD provides measures to assure effective document control. The document control procedures provide methods for establishing control of instructions, drawings, and procedures

related to quality and safety. In addition, these procedures provide a means to assure that obsolete documents are not used; that controls are exercised for document changes; and that review and approval of changes is performed by organizations who originated the document. Measures are used to control the content and issuance of all design documents affecting quality. These measures assure that standards, new and revised design documents, equipment specifications, and drawings are systematically reviewed and approved by cognizant personnel in engineering, quality assurance, purchasing, and projects prior to release. Distribution of these initial and revised documents is controlled and limited, consistent with approved distribution lists. Specifically for drawings, satellite files throughout the division are on a controlled distribution so that obsolete drawings are returned to the central file when revised drawings are issued. In addition, computer printouts identify the applicable revision to all drawings. If revisions are made to the documents, they are revised according to a documented procedure so that control is maintained. A.4.3.7 Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services Prior to considering a new supplier for placement of a purchase order, a supplier evaluation is conducted. This is done in accordance with a written checklist. The results are documented in a report issued to management personnel or purchasing, engineering, quality assurance, and projects. The evaluation is conducted by a team consisting of personnel from the Purchasing, Engineering, and Quality Assurance Departments. Other personnel such as material and process engineers and manufacturing engineers participate, as required.

Considerations of the evaluation include all elements of the 10CFR50 Quality Assurance Criteria to the extent these criteria are applicable to the equipment being procured. Deficiencies in the supplier's organization or systems are resolved with the supplier's management prior to placing a purchase order. If an existing supplier does not maintain the required quality level on PWR-SD orders, a similar team will review the supplier's problems and make recommendations to his management to correct the situation immediately. When problems arise, Westinghouse specialist aids the supplier in specific areas such as welding, manufacturing, and nondestructive testing to resolve the problem. In this manner, Westinghouse assures the continued high level of supplier performance necessary to obtain the quality level required by the contract.

PWR-SD surveillance of suppliers during fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipment of components is planned in advance and performed in accordance with written quality plans.

These plans are prepared by quality assurance engineers and are based on the technical

requirements of the purchase order. The plans are reviewed and approved by engineering.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-10 The purpose of a quality plan is to provide planned guidance to the quality assurance field representative by:

1. Identifying those characteristics which are most important to quality and reliability
2. Providing specific instructions for the witnessing, documentation, and acceptance of the equipment
3. Detailing audits to assure the supplier's compliance with all quality control requirements.

The plan identifies those supplier documents requiring approval and the points during manufacturing and test that quality assurance intends to witness. Special emphasis is placed on the aspects of manufacture and inspection that most directly affect performance of the equipment. Lead units of a new design get particular attention in the supplier's shop by both Quality Assurance and Engineering Department representatives.

When surveillance is indicated, the Quality Assurance Department develops a visit schedule.

Visits are more frequent during the initial stages of manufacture, particularly to a new supplier, with frequency diminishing as the supplier demonstrates his capability. The purpose of PWR-SD surveillance of supplies is to provide Westinghouse management first-hand objective assurance of compliance with specified requirements. The principle followed is that the supplier is responsible for inspecting and testing his product. The PWR-SD field representative assures

that the supplier has done this, rather than attempting to perform the supplier's inspection for himself or duplicate the work he has done.

The frequency and scope of surveillance varies with degree of importance of equipment, supplier performance, complexity of the component, and other factors. This determination is made by the Quality Assurance Department in conjunction with the Engineering Department.

Quality Assurance residents are established as necessary.

Surveillance is accomplished in accordance with the quality plans described above. In addition, the field representative sees that written instructions and procedures are kept current, that corrective action is implemented, and that other necessary controls are effective. The Quality Assurance representative informs, in writing, the supplier directly of problems he discovers and obtains commitments to correct them. He brings these problems to the attention of the supplier's management as required to obtain resolution. PWR-SD management is made aware of the surveillance activities, including supplier discrepancies and audit results, by means of the trip report issued by the Quality Assurance representative for each visit to a vendor.

When the Quality Assurance representative is satisfied that the equipment can be released for shipment, he prepares a quality release form and distributes copies to the supplier and cognizant personnel within PWR-SD. The equipment can then be released through normal engineering-purchasing channels for shipment. The supplier forwards the quality release with the equipment to the plant site.

In some instances the supplier is authorized by PWR-SD to prepare a supplier quality release. This authorization is given only to those suppliers who have, over a period of time, demonstrated an effective quality system. PWR-SD Quality Assurance personnel periodically audit the supplier's system to assure continued performance.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-11 Westinghouse furnishes for each component at the construction site a copy of the purchase order, including changes, the design specification, and a quality release. These documents certify component quality and satisfy regulatory requirements pertaining to site documentation. A.4.3.8 Identification and Control of Material, Parts, and Components Within each of the NES Divisions, procedures exist establishing measures which assure that identification and traceability of items is maintained during the production of components for

delivery to the nuclear power plant site.

QCS-1 and the Administrative Specification contain requirements that a supplier have measures to maintain identification and control of material, parts, and components. The procedures used to establish these measures, and the application of the procedures are reviewed for adequacy during supplier selection and monitored for compliance during the surveillance activities. A.4.3.9 Control of Special Processes QCS-1 and the Administrative Specification contain requirements that a supplier have measures for control of special processes. These means include the qualification of processes and personnel for welding and inspection in accordance with ASME requirements, nondestructive inspection per SNT-TC-lA standards, and other processes as may be necessary for adequate control. The procedures used to implement these measures and the application of the procedures are reviewed for adequacy and monitored for compliance during the surveillance activities.

PWR-SD personnel are qualified in accordance with a NDT certification program which conform to SNT-TC-lA.

A.4.3.10 Inspection The principle followed is that the supplier is responsible for inspecting his product, and PWR quality assurance personnel verify his controls to assure the adequacy of inspection. As such, inspection at PWR is more appropriately described as supplier surveillance. Details of the PWR surveillance program are contained in the description of "Control of Purchase Material, Equipment, and Services," Section A.4.3.7. A.4.3.11 Test Control QCS-1 details that tests required by a contract be described by clear and current written procedures which assure that tests are performed as specified. The criteria for acceptance or rejection shall be included. The procedures for meeting the above are a part of the supplier

quality plant submitted to PWR-SD for approval. The Administrative Specification contains similar requirements. These two documents also require that the supplier maintain records showing the results of tests. These records are reviewed for acceptability by PWR-SD. Tests are conducted by groups within the supplier organization considered acceptable during supplier selection and monitored during PWR-SD surveillance. A.4.3.12 Control of Measuring and Test Equipment The requirement for a supplier to maintain a system for calibration of all examination, measuring, and test equipment is contained both in the Administrative Specification and QCS-1. All calibration must be traceable to national standards. PWR verifies the acceptability of the system during the supplier selection and monitors for compliance during the surveillance activities.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-12 A.4.3.13 Handling, Storage, and Shipping The Administrative Specification and QCS-1 specifies that a supplier's Quality Program require the use of handling procedures and handling equipment inspection procedures to prevent damage to a product. The vendor must have adequate written work and inspection instructions for storage, preservation, packaging, and shipping to protect the products from damage, loss, deterioration, or substitution. As required by the Equipment Specification, these procedures

may be subject to approval by PWR.

A supplier's procedures and systems for handling, storage and shipping are evaluated during source selection and monitored for compliance during PWR-SD Quality Assurance Surveillance. A.4.3.14 Inspection, Test, and Operating Status QCS-1 and the Administrative Specification contain requirements that a supplier have measures to indicate an inspection, test and operating status of an item. The procedures used to establish

these measures and the application of the procedures are reviewed for adequacy during supplier selection and monitored for compliance during the surveillance activities. A.4.3.15 Nonconforming Material, Parts, or Components PWR-SD has documented procedures to control nonconforming material, parts, and components which prevent their inadvertent use and provide for their identification, segregation, and disposition. Normally, each NES division dispositions these nonconforming material reports which vary from specifications and standards established within the division. Nonconformances of PWR-SD equipment specification requirements are dispositioned by PWR-SD. All approved nonconformance reports are identified on the final quality release. In addition, nonconformances which affect site installation, test, maintenance, or operation are submitted to the applicant.

Deficiencies at Supplier's Plants The Administrative Specification and QCS-1, described above, contain specific contractual requirements for controlling nonconforming material or workmanship.

The supplier must physically identify all material that does not conform to the purchase order requirements and take necessary actions to preclude its further use. All deviations are documented in writing and reviewed by the Engineering, Quality Assurance, and other appropriate groups. First, consideration is given to restoring the material to its specified condition or scrapping it. If that is impractical, the deviation is considered from both an engineering and a quality control point of view. If acceptable, the deviation is formally approved in writing by the cognizant engineer. A permanent file of these records is maintained.

Deficiencies at the Construction Site

A written procedure provides for documented reporting by Westinghouse personnel of deficiencies on NSSS equipment found during plant construction. These reports are submitted by Westinghouse site engineering personnel to the cognizant engineering department. Like reports from suppliers' plants, these reports are reviewed for necessary action, formally approved by the cognizant engineer, and permanently filed. Summary reports are developed to alert appropriate levels of management of the deficiencies found and the actions taken.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-13 A.4.3.16 Corrective Action PWR-SD has a corrective action program which has a means for determining the need for corrective action, documenting the need and the action taken, and reporting the need and action taken to appropriate levels of management. In addition, QCS-1 requires that the supplier's quality system provides for the identification and evaluation of significant or recurring discrepancies and for alerting the supplier's cognizant management of the need for corrective action. The supplier must review corrective action for effectiveness and the need for further

action. The suppliers corrective action program is reviewed for adequacy during supplier selection and monitored for compliance during the surveillance activities.

The Quality Assurance Department analyzes through a computerized coding system significant deficiency data on Westinghouse-supplied equipment received from suppliers and from construction sites to determine patterns of occurrence by supplier, by components, or by process. With this as a guide, quality assurance and cognizant engineers determine corrective actions that are needed to prevent recurrence. This action is in addition to assuring that the supplier or site personnel take corrective action of the individual deficiencies reported. Through

periodic reports, management is informed of the need for action, and the action taken. Several of the reports are: trip reports, field discrepancies report summaries, and audit reports. A.4.3.17 Quality Assurance Records The Quality Assurance Program requires the retention of those fabrication, inspection, and surveillance records essential to demonstrating product quality. Records relating to the design

and fabrication of NSSS equipment are available for review.

The Administrative Specification described previously requires suppliers to maintain records for each test (nondestructive, electrical, and performance) specified in the purchase order. The Administrative Specification and equipment specification also require maintenance of other records as required, such as material test reports, welder qualifications, inspection records, etc.

Records such as trip reports, deviation notices, and other quality-related documents form a part

of the records maintained by PWR-SD.

All suppliers are required to maintain these records for specified periods, after which they notify PWR-SD for disposition. Copies of records covering significant inspections on critical portions of the component are transmitted to PWR-SD. These inspection records along with quality-related documents generated by PWR-SD quality assurance personnel comprise the permanent quality file for each component which will be maintained for the life of the plant. The supplier retains all data relative to the component, and PWR-SD obtains copies of sufficient records to furnish objective evidence of quality, which are maintained as part of the PWR-SD history file. These records will be provided to, or provisions made for maintenance for the owner, in accordance with the contractual agreement with the owner.

Records generated at the construction site are filed and maintained there.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-14 A.4.3.18 Audits To verify the effectiveness of Quality Assurance Program, PWR has a comprehensive system of audits. Planned and scheduled audits are conducted by:

1. The Corporate Quality Staff of the PWR-SD
2. The NEW Quality Assurance Committee or PWR-SD
3. PWR-SD of other NES divisions for intra-NES purchases
4. PWR-SD of its suppliers
5. PWR-SD of Westinghouse site activities
6. PWR-SD of its own internal programs.

The program requires the originator of an audit report to follow an open item until action is taken to satisfy the audit report. Records of each audit and resolution are maintained.

Below is a description of the various audits within PWR-SD. A.4.3.18.1 Westinghouse Corporate Audits The Westinghouse Corporate Headquarters Quality Control Staff has a formal audit program which applies to all divisions in Westinghouse including divisions furnishing equipment or services to the nuclear industry.

The purpose of the audits is to provide an independent verification that the Quality Assurance Programs of the Westinghouse divisions are effectively assuring that the product quality complies with the requirements of their customers and that the programs include the most

effective approaches to prevent the manufacture of defective products.

Audits are performed of each division's quality assurance effort by a two man team, consisting of a member of the Headquarters Quality Control staff and the Quality Assurance Manager of another division in the same product group as the division audited. The audit normally takes five days. The Corporate Headquarters audit of each Westinghouse division is held on the average of once each three years.

The quality assurance systems and procedures that have been established by the division are reviewed to determine if these systems and procedures are sufficient to provide an effective program. Observations are then made to assure that the established systems and procedures are being correctly followed.

An oral presentation of the findings and conclusions of the audit is made to the Division General Manager, Quality Assurance Manager, and other personnel affected by the audit findings. The items recommended for improvement in the Quality Assurance Program are presented as well as recommendations of approaches for accomplishing these improvements.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-15 Following the audit, a written report containing the findings and recommendations reviewed in the oral report is prepared and sent to the responsible division personnel. In addition, a copy of the report is sent to the Executive Vice-President to whom the division reports and to the corporate Vice-President of Manufacturing. A.4.3.18.2 NES Quality Assurance Committee Audits The Westinghouse NES Quality Assurance Committee has established an audit program which applies to all the NES Westinghouse divisions engaged in nuclear supply system design or manufacture of PWR equipment. The purpose of the audits is to provide in-depth evaluation of the quality assurance policies and processes of the various Westinghouse NES divisions in order to verify that they result in products and services which meet safety and reliability requirements. Particular emphasis during the audit of the quality assurance programs is placed

on compliance with nuclear safety requirements.

In addition to carrying out audits, the committee serves as a forum to communicate quality and reliability activities, and to establish im proved and consistent division policies of quality assurance in light of nuclear industry requirements.

Annual quality assurance system audits are conducted of each Westinghouse NES Division by an audit team composed of representatives from the Committee. Typical team membership is three men. Each audit normally takes three days. The Corporate Headquarters audits, described above, or Westinghouse NES Division substitutes for the annual Westinghouse NES

audit the year it is held.

At the conclusion of each audit, an oral presentation is made by the audit team to the division General Manager and Quality Assurance Manager of the division which has been audited.

Following the audit, a written report, containing the findings of the audit and recommendations for improvement in the Quality Assurance Program and its implementation, is sent to the

responsible division personnel, to the committee members, and to the Westinghouse NES Executive Vice-President. The procedure assures high level management attention to actions needed to carry out recommendations of the audit.

A.4.3.18.3 PWR-SD A.4.3.18.3.1 Supplier's Plants

The Westinghouse PWR-SD audit function of suppliers is described in Section A.4.3.7, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services. The NES Manufacturing Divisions are also considered as suppliers to PWR, and scheduled audits of the divisions are conducted by PWR Quality Assurance Department.

A.4.3.18.3.2 Construction Site

The Quality Assurance Department conducts independent audits of NSSS work performed by Westinghouse personnel at the construction site to assure that proper procedures and instructions are available and in use, and that adequate controls exist and are effective.

Reports of audits are sent to top management of the PWR-SD.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.4-16 A.4.3.18.3.3 Internal

The Quality Assurance Department performs audits within the PWR-SD. These audits cover procedures and implementation of the procedures. The audits are performed periodically by a team headed by quality assurance personnel and selected from appropriate engineering groups or PWR-SD and from outside divisions as necessary. Audit findings are documented and sent

to management for review and corrective action, where necessary.

Additional audits of PWR-SD are conducted by the NES Quality Assurance Committee and the Westinghouse Headquarters Quality Control Staff.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.5-1 A.5 WESTINGHOUSE NUCLEAR FUEL DIVISION RELIABILITY AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM Section A.5 describes the Westinghouse Nuclear Fuel Division Reliability and Quality Assurance Program applicable during the initial fuel of BVPS-1. For convenience, this section is

retained in the Updated FSAR as a history of the program in effect during the initial fueling. A.5.1 Quality Assurance Program The Reliability and Quality Assurance Program of the Westinghouse Nuclear Fuel Division, as summarized in WCAP-7800, has been developed to serve the division in planning and monitoring its activities for the design and manufacture of nuclear fuel assemblies and in the manufacture of the associated core components.

The program provides for control over all activities affecting product quality, commencing with design and development and continuing through procurement, materials handling, fabrication, testing and inspection, storage, and transportation. The program also provides for the indoctrination and training of personnel and for the auditing of activities affecting product quality

through a formal auditing program.

A.5.2 Manufacturing Quality Control philosophy is generally based on the following inspections being performed to a 95 percent (95 x 95) confidence that at least 95 percent of the product meets specification, unless otherwise noted, using either a hypergeometric function with zero defectives for small lots or the latest revision of MIL-105D for large lots. This confidence level has been based on past experience gained during the manufacturing of uranium cores. The following inspections are included.

Components Parts

All parts received are inspected to a 95 x 95 confidence level. The characteristics inspected depend upon the component parts and includes dimensional, visual, check audits of test reports, material certification and nondestructive testing such as X-ray and ultrasonic. Westinghouse materials process and components specifications specify in detail the inspection, to be performed.

All material used in the manufacture of this core is accepted and released by Quality Control.

Pellets Inspection is performed to a 95 x 95 confidence level for the dimensional characteristics such as diameter, density, length and squareness of ends. Additional visual inspections are performed for cracks, chips and porosity according to standards established at the beginning of production. These standards are based upon standards used in previous cores which have in turn served as standards for over 50 million pellets manufactured and used in operating cores. Density is determined in terms of weight per unit length and is plotted on zone charts used in controlling the process. Chemical analyses are taken on a daily sample basis throughout pellet production.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.5-2 Rod Inspection Fuel rod inspection techniques used by Westinghouse during the plant operations phase are described in Section 3.2 of this FSAR.

Preoperational Rod Inspection consisted of the following 100 percent nondestructive inspections and is based on the experience specifications, procedures and standards established on previously manufactured and operated cores.

1. Leak Testing - Each rod is tested to a known leak using mass spectrometry with helium being the detectable gas. This is the system used previously on the leak test of over 300,000 rods.
2. X-ray - All fuel rod weld enclosures are X-rayed using weld correction forms. X-rays are taken in accord with ASTM E-142-68, "Controlling Quality of Radiographic Testing", using 2-2T as the basis of acceptance.
3. Dimensional - All rods are dimensionally inspected prior to final release and upgrading. The requirements include such items as length, caber, and visual inspection.
4. Fluoroscope - 100 percent of the fuel rods are tested to ensure proper plenum dimensions and ensure that no significant gaps exist between pellets.

This ensures that 100 percent of the rod welds have been checked by several different techniques. Full traceability of fuel rods and fuel rod components is also established by Quality Control.

Assembly Inspection consists of 100 percent inspection for drawing requirements.

Other Inspections

The following inspections are performed as part of the routine inspection operation:

1. Measurements other than those specified above which are critical to thermal and hydraulic analysis were obtained to enable evaluation of manufacturing variations to a 95 x 95 confidence level.
2. Tool and gauge inspection and control, including standardization to primary and secondary working standards. Tool inspection is performed at prescribed intervals on all serialized tools. Complete records are kept of calibration and condition of

tools.

3. Check audit inspection of all inspection activities and records to ensure that prescribed methods are followed and that all records are correct and properly maintained.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.5-3 Process Control To prevent the possibility of mixing enrichments during fuel manufacture and assembly, strict enrichment segregation and meticulous process control are exercised.

The UO 2 powder is kept in sealed containers by blend. The contents are fully identified both by descriptive tagging and preselected color coding. A Westinghouse identification tag completely

describing the contents is affixed to the containers before transfer to powder storage. Isotopic content is confirmed by sample isotopic analysis or 100 percent gamma scanning of powder containers.

Powder withdrawal from storage can be made by only one authorized group which directs the powder to the correct pellet production line. All pellet production lines are physically separated from each other and pellets of only a single enrichment and density are produced in a given production line.

Finished pellets are placed on trays having the same color code as the powder containers and transferred to segregated storage racks within the confines of the pelleting area. Samples from

each pellet lot are tested for isotopic content and impurity prior to acceptance by Quality Control. In this storage area physical barriers prevent mixing of pellets of different densities and enrichments. Unused powder and substandard pellets to be analyzed and reprocessed are returned to storage in the original color coded containers. Loading of pellets into the cladding is

performed in isolated production lines and again only one density and enrichment is loaded on a line at a time.

A serialized traceability sticker is placed on each fuel tube which identifies the contract and enrichment. The sticker is color coded to the original pellet tray code for visual identification.

The end plugs are inserted and the bottom end plug is permanently identified to the contract and enrichment and welded to seal the tube. The fuel tube remains color coded and traceability identified until just prior to installation in the fuel assembly. The color coding and end plug identification character and traceability stickers provide a cross reference of the fuel contained in the fuel rods. All fuel rods are gamma scanned over the full length for isotopic content prior to

acceptance for assembly loading.

At the time of installation into an assembly, the color coding and traceability stickers are removed and a matrix is generated to identify each rod in its position within a given assembly.

An inspector verifies that all fuel rods in an assembly have the same end plug identification, and that the top nozzle to be used on the assembly carries the correct identification character describing the fuel enrichment and density for the core region being fabricated. The top nozzle identification then becomes the permanent description to the fuel contained in the assembly.

BVPS UFSAR UNIT 1 Rev. 19 A.5-4 A.5.3 Operating Experience The quality assurance program with respect to fuel design and fabrication minimizes or reduces potential rod failures due to clad hydriding, clad-flattening and UO 2 clad interactions.

Evaluation of fuel leakage in Region 3 of the Besnau Unit No. 1 and Ginna cores had led to the conclusion that it was caused primarily by excess moisture in those rods. This caused local hydriding and subsequent breaching of the Zircaloy clad. Test programs initiated prior to and concurrent with the initial development of leaks at Besnau and Ginna led to the implementation of design and fabrication changes long before the postulated cause of the leaks was confirmed by the site examinations. These changes were directed toward reducing and controlling the fuel-contained moisture levels. Operating experience since that time prove that they were

successful.

Clad-flattening has been observed in non-pressurized fuel rods during refueling shutdowns at several reactors. BVPS-1 fuel included fuel rod pre-pressurized and fuel fabricated to a density of 95 percent theoretical using improved manufacturing processes. The Westinghouse fuel design sequence includes a clad-flattening evaluation to ensure that clad-flattening is precluded during fuel core life and that the potential for UO 2 clad interactions is minimized. Detailed clad stress analyses are strongly affected by the control rod management which is selected during the final nuclear design and the specific fuel rod design. The fuel design including use of pre-pressurized rods, in combination with plant operation and protection systems, will minimize clad

failures due to potential UO 2 clad interactions during power transients.

The quality control discussion of the fuel manufacturing notes how statistical quality control is used.
