  • Page 3-4 REVISION 63a 5/ 20/ 93

DESIGN SECTION 3 3.5.1 Extent of Design Verification.

The extent of the design verification required is a function of the importance to safe.ty, the complexity of the design, the degree of standardization, the state of the art, and the similarity with previously proven designs. Where the design has been subjected to a verification process, the process need not be duplicated for identical designs. For each application the applicability of standardized or previously proven designs_ for design inputs shall be _verified. Known problems affecting the standard or previously proven designs and their effects on other features shall be considered. The original design and associated verification shall be adequately documented and referenced in subsequent applications. Design verification shall be required for changes to previously verified designs. This includes evaluation of the

-effects of those changes on the overall design and on any affected design analyses.

3.5.2 Methods Acceptable verification methods include one or more of the following:*

design reviews, alternate calculations, and qualification testing. ~,,

.. ~3.5.2.1 Design Reviews Critical design reviews shall provide assurance that the final design is correct and satisfactory.

3.5.2.2 Alternate Calculations Calculations or analyses shall be made with alternate methods to verify correctness of the original calculations or analyses. The appropriateness of assumptions, input data used, and the computer program or other calculation method used shall be reviewed.

  • Page 3 REVISION 63a 5/ 20/ 93

DESIGN SECTiON 3 3.5.2.3 Qualification Tests When design adequacy is verified by qualification tests, the tests and test"*

configuration shall be identified. Testing shall demonstrate adequacy of performance under conditions that simulate the most adverse design conditions. Where the test is intended to verify only specific design features, the other features of the design shall be verified by other means.

Test results shall be documented and evaluated by the responsible design organization to assure that test requirements have been met. . .-"'..* -****- _....

If qualification testing indicates that changes to the item are necessary to obtain acceptable performance, the change shall be documented and

  • verified to assure satisfactory. performance.

3.6 Change Control Changes to final designs, field changes, modifications to operating facilities, and nonconforming items dispositioned use-as-is or repair shall be justified and subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. These measures shall include assurance that the design analyses for the structure, system, or component are still valid. Changes shall be approved by the same affected groups or organizations which reviewed and approved the original design documents. In the case where the original organization iS no longer responsible for design approval, then a new responsible design organization shall be designated. The designated organization shall have demonstrated competence in the specific design area of interest and have an adequate understanding of the requrrements and intent of the original design.

When a design change is approved other than by revision to the affected design documents, measures shall be established to incorporate, where appropriate, the change into these doQllllents.

Where a significant design change is necessary beeause of an incorrect design, the design process and verification procedure shall be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

Plant personnel will be made aware of design changes/modifications which may affect the performance of their duties. --

Start-up tests dem<?nstrate the performance of. systems that could not be tested prior to operation and to confirm those physical parameters, hydraulic or mechanical characteristics that need to be known, but which could not be predicted with the required accuracy, and to confirm that plant behavior conforms to design criteria~ The Company plans the start-up test program to permit safe fuel loading and start-up; to increase power in safe increments; and to perform major testing at specified power plateaus. If tests require the variation of operating parameters outside of their normal range, tile Company prescribes the limits within which such variation is permitted. The scope of the testing demonstrates Page *11-1s REVISION 63a 5/ 20/ 93

CORRECI1VE AcnON .. SEcnON16 For the procurement process, the Company uses procedures that include methods for the identification of condition5 adverse to quality and methods for timely corrective action. The Company requires individual vendors and their contractors to include corrective action measures in their quality assurance programs.

The Company makes a thorough investigation of occurrences. It identifies corrective action to preclude the recurrence of an event. These events may .inclu~e reactor ~p, fail~~- -~uipment, pers~nnel error, and procedural infractions. Assigned personnel are responsible for determining the root cause(s) of the event and developing recommendations to preclude recurrence. These personnel report the results of this determination to appropriate station personnel and company management. The report includes a detailed description of the occurrence, the findings of the investigation, and recommended corrective measures. Any required formal reports are filed with the appropriate regulatory agency.

The Company notifies the rest of the nuclear industry of any significant event and its circumstances to help preclude a similar event. occurring at another plant.

3.2 Significant Conditions The Company takes* measures to assure that the cause of any significant condition adverse to quality is. determined and takes -corrective action to preclude repetition.

ASME CODE INTERFACE The following is a supplement.which describes how this Manual complies with requirements of ASME Boiler and-Pressure Vessel Code -

Section m -Division 1 plus Division 2 for concrete containments.

1.0 GENERAL (NCA 4134.1; NCA 4134.2)

The Commonwealth Edison Company, hereafter known as the Company, has an overall Quality Assurance Program designed to accommodate the engineering and construction phases of a nuclear power plant as well as the subsequent operations of those plants including maintenance, modification, and repair. For purposes of Code activities, this program consists of four parts. The first part titled, Quality Assurance Program, which is also filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as the Topical .Report, contains the requirements to which the Company has committed. This part, titled _AS:ME Code Interface, describes how the j Company's program complies with specific sections of the ASME Code~

The third part, the Station Quality Assurance Manual, covers essentially a Section XI program including In-Service Inspection activities. The last

  • part is titled Quality Assurance Procedures (QP's).

The Lo\\?'QP's (-1 through -50 suffix) were promulgated for administering contracts with construction contractors hired by the Company to build nuclear generating stations. These contractors had to have implemented their Company approved Quality Assurance

  • Programs. The focus was on those controls necessary for the achievement of quality in_ the co_~tnt~on of new stations.

The 'High" QP's (-51 through -100 suffix) were promulgated to be detailed* implementing procedures for use by the station and supporting departm~ts after the completion of the construction permit. The focus was on tl\e consistent achievement of quality in the operation, mainten~ce, modification, and repair of operating nuclear facilities.

Currently, the controls in the 'High" QP's have been essentially replicated in the stations' administrative procedure sets.

The language in both sets of QP's has evolved to acknowledge that all craft-labor c9ntraq .administration (including support of ongoing station Page 1-1.* REVISION 63b 6/ 16/ 93

(

.{,:

-ASME CODE INTERFACE operations) is by Site Engineering and Construction (SEC), and all routine maintenance and repair (as well as operations) is the responsibility of the station organization.

The Quality Procedures are invoked as detailed in QP 2.0.

The recent (1993) Nuclear Division reorganization has focused the accountability for all activitie8 in the on-site organizations during all phases in the life of a nuclear station. This includes the use of craft labor in support of the stations. This AS:ME Code Interlace is provided to--

specifically explain the Company's implementation and compliance with Quality Assurance requirements of the AS1\.1E Code Section ill as

- detailed in NCA 4134. Figure I shows the relationships among this Manual, AS:ME Code NCA 4000, and 10CFRSO, Appendix B. Figure II identifies Division 2 document responsibilities.

Other detailed quality assurance p~oced ures covering items suCh as training, the training program, review of procurement documents, personriel qualificatien and certification, maintenance and updating of AS1\.1E Code information on the computerized Quality Approved Bidders Lists, off-site audit plans, filing, trending, etc~are *documented in the Nuclear Oversight Quality Assurance Procedures. Furthermore, individual Department procedures provide detailed requirements relative to specific responsibilities involving implementation of the Company's Quality Assurance Program, AS1\.1E Code and .other National* Cddes *an:d Standards 1.1 Statement of Authority The Statement of Authority of the Nuclear Oversight organization of the Company is contained in the preface of this Manual. The Nuclear Oversight organization, which includes the Onsite and Offsite Quality Verification Departments, is empowered to assure compliance with the quality requirements of the AS1\.1E Code, other codes, Federal Regulations and the various National Standards that are applicable to an Owner's and N-type Certificate Holder's program of quality assurance for nuclear Page 1-2 REVISION 63b 6/ 16/ 93

1.2 Responsibility - General In the event that the Company undertakes the construction of a new nuclear generating station or begins a project involving significant Section III construction additions, a new project organization may be established. Such an organization will follow the same program as described herein and will be managed by the Engineering and Construction Department.

Responsibility for implementation of quality assurance requirements rests with the Chief Nuclear Operating Officer, while the verification of the implementation and the-establishment of policies involving quality assurance rests with the Nuclear Oversight Manager.

for construction of new plants, the Company relies upon the utilization*

of an Architect/Engineer (AE), Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) suppliers,.._and subcontractors. The Company contracts with suppliers*

who are qualified in accordance with the applicable section of the AS1vffi Code and who have the appropriate Code Certificates of Authorization or have a written quality program that has been evaluated and approved by a Company survey. The responsibility for Code compliance remains with the Company when the Company is to stamp the item .. When the Company purchases Code_it~s-~~uipng stamping, it is the responsibility. of the approved Code supplier to stamp the item.

1.2.1 Division 1 - Responsibility It is the responsibility of the Engineering__and Construction Department to assµre that stress analyses or calculations for parts and appurtenances are correctly incorporated into the drawings and Design Reports of components_ for which the Company assumes overall responsibility. The drawings used for design and construction shall be identified, described, and in agreement with the Design Report before it is certified.

. be done by the Company. When authorized by the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (AN!), stamping will be witnessed by the ANI and the Onsite Quality Verification Superintendent or his designee.

1.2~2 Division 2 - Responsibility For AS:ME Section ill, Division 2 concrete containments, the Company performs construction management and does not perform the actual construction. The surveillance of the post-tensioning systems for existing concrete containments is performed under the cognizance of the Company's Division 2, Chief Level m. ,

Site Engineering and Construction has the responsibility for preparation and control of the construction procedures necessary to manage the

  • concrete containment work, and for preparation of the- Construction Report and the C-1 Data Report~ They will delegate to their qualified contractors the duties of preparing implementing construction procedures and shqp and field drawings, including test procedures that are needed to satisfy the requirements of the construction specification and design drawings. The .responsibility for preparation and approval of the C-2 Data Report rests with the Fabricator. The Engineering and Construction Manager will approv~ the Design and Construction Reports, and will certify the C-1 and N-3 Data Reports.

1.3 Organization Charts The organization -charts describing the company's organization are contained in Section 1.0 of the Topical Report. The basic organizational structure within the Company during operations consists of a Site Vice

  • President at each site with centralized support and independent overview. The engineering and construction p~rtion of the organization consists of an onsite organization supported by a. centralized support organization. The site organization is intimately and directly involved with_ the day-to-day construction and engineering activities associated with n1:1clear facility construction and modification. The Site Vice Presidents and the Engineering and Construction Manager report _to the Chief Nuclear Operating Officer~ . . Station quality assurance is provided Page 1-4 REVISION 63b 6/ 16/ 93 J

ASME CODE INTERFACE by Onsite Quality Verification Department which is independent of the Chief Nuclear Operating Officer's organizations. The station Quality Control group performs typical quality control functions such as inspections and examinations.

Quality -Control is part of the Station organization although independent of production. Station Quality Control has an offsite reporting capability to the Nuclear Support Department to insure independence. Station Quality Control personnel have sufficient organizational freedom and authority to Stop Work in order to prevent inadvertent use or installation of nonconforming materials, parts, or components.
