This report consists of three parts: The Introduction, which delineates the purpose and summarizes the scope and applicability of the Topical Quality Assurance Report. The second part, Topical Quality Requirements (TQRs), which delineate Quality Assurance Program requirements and summarizes the FPL approach to activities related to materials, parts, components, systems, and services included in the Quality Assurance Program. The third part, Appendices, which provide supporting statements, tabulations, and technical analyses or deviations which are not, in themselves, the subject of the report.
The Topical Quality Assurance Report shall be an integral part of the corporate Quality Assurance Manual (FPL-NQA-100A), and shall delineate the generic requirements and 0 responsibilities by which FPL implements the corporate Quality Assurance Program. Revisions and changes to this Report will be made in accordance with a Quality Procedure as outlined in TQR 2.0. The remainder of the Quality Assurance Manual is comprised of Quality Procedures (QPs) which serve as the documents which describe how the interfacing of tasks between departments or organizations is achieved. The Quality Procedures also cover those technical elements which require a common corporate position for interfaces or resolution of problem areas.
In addition to the Quality Assurance Manual, Quality Instructions (QIs) are developed as required by each of the implementing plants and departments. Quality Instructions describe the measures to be used to implement the quality requirements of the Quality Assurance Manual. The Quality Instructions describe actions and responsibilities to be performed within a department or organization and address the requirements of the appropriate Topical Quality Requirements, and Quality Procedures.
The FPL Quality Assurance Program meets the requirements provided by the NRC Regulatory Guidance and Industry Standards as listed in Appendix C of this Topical Quality Assurance Report.

Draft 8 Date DESIGN CONTROL 5/30/90 APL Page 5 of 6 3.2.4 (Continued) identify and document the verification method utilized and that the documentation clearly identify those individuals performing the design verification.
Design verification shall be performed by technically qualified individual(s) or group(s) other than those who performed the design. The original designers and verifiiers may both be from the design organization. Design verification by the 1
designer's immediate supervisor shall be limited to those instances where the supervisor is the only qualified individual available within the design organization. These instances are further restricted to designs where the supervisor did not specify a singular design approach, or did not restrict design methods or alternatives, or did not specify design inputs (unless the specified design inputs have already been independently verified). Justification for verification by the designer's immediate supervisor should be documented along with the extent of the supervisor's involvement in the design.
The design organization'shall be responsible for determining the extent of design verification and methods to be employed. The methods may include one or more of the following: the performance of design reviews, the use of alternate calculations, or the performance of qualification tests. This shall apply to original design and to changes to approved design output. Where reverification is not required for a design change, the bases shall be documented by the.design organization. Cursory supervisory reviews and mathematical checks for calculation accuracy do not satisfy the independent design verification requirement.
Design verification shall normally be completed prior to release of design output for procurement, manufacture or release by the design organization for use in design activities by a participating organization. Verification shall be conducted based on the status of design at the time of release of design documents. Where this timing cannot be met, verification may be deferred provided that the

Date Draft 6 5/30/90 Page 2 of 3 16.2.1 (Continued)
- b. "Routine Corrective Action" applies to conditions which do not require immediate corrective action. Routine corrective action is assured through the distribution and disposition associated with inspection reports, surveillance reports, nonconformance reports, and audit reports; and the investigation analysis and action associated with reportable 'conditions.
Follow-up to verify implementation of corrective action and close-out of corrective action documentation is accomplished by the QA or QC organization responsible for verifying the corrective action. The e Quality Assurance Department shall track, follow-up, and closeout open items identified by QA Department audits and vendor surveillances. The respective department or plant shall track those items charged to its operating license by the NRC. Each department shall be responsible for follow-up and close-out of corrective action resulting from their departmental inspections, tests, or operations.
If corrective action is inadequate or not timely, the follow-up organization shall request corrective action from management, as delineated iri procedures. The President Nuclear Division is the final authority in the event that agreement is not reached at lower levels regarding stop work requests or other corrective action.
Where corrective action is required of contractor personnel, FPL shall define in procedures and contracts
'i the corrective action interface between FPL and the contractor. FPL shall require the A/E, NSSS vendor, constructor and other suppliers of safety related materials and services to have a documented corrective action system.

T ARA ni l fi n AN IAN 1-1 L-2 I
The Regulatory Guides and industry standards listed in Appendix C to the Topical Quality Assurance Report take precedence over any Regulatory Guide or industry standard which may be referenced in any one of these documents.
R I i 1 R 1 ANIN1 1-1 1 ANIAN 1 L-2 ANSI N18.1 describes the training and education requirements for plant staff positions and is endorsed by Reg. Guide 1.8 with an exception. That exception is the requirements for the Supervisor - Radiation Protection. ANSI N18.1 is invoked by Technical Specifications (Appendix A of the Facility Operating License) at the Turkey Point plants and PSL-1.
ANSI/ANS 3.'1-1978 is invoked by Technical Specification at PSL-2. Reg. Guide 1.8 is also invoked by Technical Specifications at our St. Lucie plant and a license amendment has been approved for our Turkey Point plant to specify the Health Physics Supervisor qualifications addressed in Reg. Guide 1.8.
To avoid duplication of requirements, FPL will address Plant Staff Qualifications in only the Technical Specifications.
R l 4 24-1 2 ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Paragraph 2.3 addresses installation specifications and requires the inclusion of inspection and test objectives. FPL maintains that test values and inspection scope are inherently contained in the applicable procedures.
ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Paragraph 6.1.2 requires that the inspection of installed equipment verify that "good and proper workmanship" has prevailed. FPL maintains that acceptable parameter compliance with codes and standards along with company preference is the verification of "good and proper workmanship".

ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 4.3, requires that personnel performing the independent review and audit be specified in number and technical discipline. This standard is invoked by the Technical Specifications (Appendix A of the Facility Operating Licenses) which have been approved for the FPL nuclear plants at St. Lucie and Turkey Point. Specifically this function is performed by the Company Nuclear'eview Board (CNRB) identified in Section 6.5.2 of the Technical Specifications.
To avoid duplication of requirements, FPL will address the personnel and functions of .this independent review and audit only in the Technical Specifications.
FPL's method of addressing Section 5.2 of ANSI N18.7-1976, as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, is by administratively controlling licensed operator hours on shift and by our Duty Call Supervisor system. Further, FPL has developed a response to NUTMEG 0654 which provides staffing availability.
FPL's method of addressing Paragraph 5.2.8 of ANSI N18.7-1976, as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, is covered in Section 4 of each plant's Technical Specifications.
FPL's method of addressing Paragraph 5.2.9 of ANSI N18.7-1976, as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, is covered in 10 CFR 73 and each plant's Security Plan, and as such is not included in the Quality Assurance Program.
Chemical cleaning is not presently controlled as a special process per se; however, the requirements of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 and Regulatory Guide 1.37 dated 3/16/73 are part of the
. FPL QA Program and are met in our program. FPL proposes these requirements to be to the requirements of ANSI N18.7-1976, Paragraph 5.2.18. Further, TQR 9.0,' an'lternative

FPL meets the intent of Section 5.2.19.3 of ANSI N18.7-1976 as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, as applied to significant changes to operating procedures, by, the technical review of the procedure change by knowledgeable plant professionals, by the safety review of the procedure change by the on-site facility review group, by the regulatory and QA review of the procedure by plant Quality Control, by training the licensed operators in the change through the training report system, and by trained, licensed operators using the revised operating procedure and observing the proper result. In addition, procedure changes will be reviewed to assure 10 CFR 50.59 requirements are met.
Paragraph 5.3.5(4) - Clarification - When FPL uses vendor manuals and drawings which provide adequate instructions for maintenance, these documents are attached or referenced with Plant Work Orders which are reviewed and approved by Supervisory and Quality Control personnel and are considered to be adequate procedures in themselves. These vendor manuals and drawings, when received at site, are controlled documents and changes to the applicable sections and instructions of these documents require the same level of review and approval as the operating procedures.
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 lists "typical safety related activities which should be covered by written procedures". Regulatory Guide 1.33 is invoked by the Technical Specifications at FPL Nuclear Plants.
In order to avoid duplication of requirements invoked in our licensing documents, the FPL C T Quality Assurance Program does not list those required operating procedures specified in Appendix A.
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev.
DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 Page 6 of 23 R lat i 1 AN I 4 21-1 ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Paragraph 5 states in part that, "Fitted and tackwelded joints (which will not be immediately sealed by welding) shall be wrapped with polyethylene or other-non-halogenated plastic film until the welds can be completed". The FPL QA Manual shall require that the weld be covered to prevent entry of moisture and contaminants but will not specify the material to be employed. Materials employed to cover openings shall meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.37, Position 4.
ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Paragraph 7.1 states in part, "provisions shall be made to 'collect leakage and protect insulation from being wetted". FPL Quality Assurance Program includes the above requirements. However, FPL's program allows the wetting of metallic type insulations which are not adversely affected by wetting.
ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Paragraphs 7.2.2, 7.2.3, and 7.3 address specific cleaning methods (Alkaline, Chelate, Acid) and make recommendations associated with several types of cleaning methods. FPL's QA manual does not specifically delineate these paragraphs. However, the procedure developed per Paragraph 2.2 of ANSI N45.2.1 will ensure that any specific cleaning method chosen will be properly considered and controlled.
i 1 Rv2A 4 22- 2 FPL will meet the requirements of Reg. Guide 1.38, Rev. 2, Position 2C, D and E for safety related applications during preoperational and operational activities. Restrictions imposed for tapes to be color constrasting will only be applied to the extent that these colors are dissimilar or otherwise distinguishable. This does not preclude using other tapes when precuations are taken to ensure these tapes do not come in contact with austentic stainless steel or nickel alloy materials.
Vapor barrier material (other than metal) shall be colored to contrast with or be otherwise distinguishable from safety related systems to prevent undisclosed entry into the system.
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP., C R<<DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT. MATRIX SSoi90 FPL page 7 of 23 These requirements do not apply to components in storage which would require removal of such tapes and barriers to effect installation.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Section 2.7 requires that items governed by this standard be classified into one of four levels by the buyer or the contractor. FPL intends to consider what care is appropriate for each item individually rather than generically classifying the material into protection levels and providing care required of that level. The following shall be considered when determining the handling, storage, and shipping requirements:
- 1. The vendor's recommended handling, shipping, and storage standards.
- 2. Environmental requirements which may include such requirements as inert gas atmosphere, humidity limits, temperature limits, chemical requirements, acceleration (g force) requirements.
- 3. Special tools or equipment which are provided and controlled as necessary to ensure safe and adequate handling. These tools or equipment shall be inspected and tested at specified times to verify that they are adequately maintained.
- 4. Packaging, covering or coatings required to meet environmental requirements such as barrier and wrap material, desiccants, pipe caps, plugs, contact preservatives, etc.
- 5. Container, crating, skids of sufficient strength to support the item (including stacking).
- 6. Cushioning, blocking, bracing, and anchoring to prevent movement during shipment or handling.
- 7. Special handling or storage procedures for unique situations.
- 8. Marking and identification of the item and its packaging.
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev.
DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 APL Page 8 of 23
- 9. Anticipated "shelf life" of the item.
FPL considers this to be a more effective approach since the quantity of spare and replacement material, parts and components governed by this standard will be afforded protection commensurate with the recommendations of Section 2.7 of this standard.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Sections 3.0, 4.0, and the Appendix address all the requirements applicable to the packaging and shipping of material. FPL in general does not package or ship material governed by this standard. Suppliers of material are required by purchase order to provide adequate packaging and shipping protection. Isolated cases of material packaging or shipping are treated on a case-by-case basis and receive protection comparable to that required by the manufacturer of that material. Loading, rigging and handling precautions identified in Section 4.3 are applied to material unloaded by FPL Rom a transport vehicle.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Section 5.2 requires that specific attributes of material and components received by FPL be inspected. For plants with operating licenses FPL verifies conformance to procurement documents during receipt inspections. Any of these attributes identified in these procurement documents are verified during this inspection.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Section 5.2, paragraph 5.2.1, requires certain preliminary inspections to be done "prior to unloading" of material which is received. We believe that the sequence specified in the standard is to facilitate commercial claims, and should these preliminary inspections occur "after unloading" that control of materials quality would not be degraded. Accordingly, required shipping damage inspections may be performed after unloading.
The requirements of ANSI N45.2.2, Paragraph 7.2 for items that require special handling instructions is clarified by FPL to be limited to those items covered in the scope of NUREG 0612, entitled "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants".
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev. DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 Page 9 of 23 ANSI N45.2.2-1972, Paragraph 7.4 requires that an inspection program be established for handling equipment and rigging, including methods for identifying acceptable and nonconforming items. In lieu of having a program of periodic, documented inspections of rigging and handling equipment, FPL's practice is to have the individual user determine the equipment's acceptability prior to each use. This prior-to-use inspection is exactly the same as that required during periodic inspections, and uses criteria identified in ANSI N45.2.2-1972, paragraph 7.4. This practice also precludes the need for a system to indicate the acceptability of rigging and handling equipment. Implementation of this prior-to-use inspection will be assured through periodic surveillances and audits performed by Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Cranes are inspected on a periodic basis and will not be subjected to this prior-to-use inspection.
Certain mechanical components of the PSL-2 nuclear unit have been designed for a service environment of the site area because portions of the plant are exposed to the temperature, humidity, and ocean salt spray during operations. Extreme air temperature variations, snow or slush are not encountered during operations or in the out-of-doors storage environment. As an alternative to the rigid requirements of storage levels B and C in paragraph 6.1 of ANSI N45.2.2-1972, FPL proposes to store these particular mechanical components outdoors, but within controlled areas, with sufficient periodic surveillances and inspections to minimize the possibility of damage or lowering of quality due to corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or physical damage. In cases where special environmental conditions are present (i.e. hurricanes, paint sprays, concrete pours, etc.) precautions or additional steps will be taken to further protect the items.
R I Rv2A IN4 2 -1 For FPL's operating nuclear plants, alternative methods are followed to achieve equivalent objectives for the below listed sections of ANSI N45.2.3-1973:
The zone designations of Section 2.1 of N45.2.3 and the requirements associated with each zone are not consistent with the FPL Housekeeping requirements at our operating nuclear units.'n.
lieu of the zone designation, cleanliness is maintained at a level consistent with the work being performed, so as to prevent the entry of foreign material into safety related, systems.
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev. DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Oate 5/30/90 Page 10 of 23 Documented cleanliness inspections are performed immediately prior to system closure. Control of personnel, tools, equipment, and supplies is established with approved procedures when the safety function of a system, component, or item may be jeopardized and also while the reactor system is opened for inspection, maintenance, or repair.
11 1 4 2 ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraphs 1.1,'.1, 3.2.2(a) and 4-(Table-1) identic requirements which apply to personnel who perform inspections, tests or nondestructive examinations or who participate in the approval of procedures, the handling of data or test results, or the control of reports and records.
FPL proposes an alternative to capability requirements for those who participate in: (1) the approval of procedures, (2) the handling of data or test results and (3) the control of reports and records. FPL accomplishes this by having personnel determined to be qualified and competent by management through consideration of education, training, and experience.
The Florida Power 4 Light Company position on the scope of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 is that personnel participating in testing who take data or make observations, where special training is not required to perform this function, need not be qualified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6 but need only be trained to the extent necessary to perform the assigned function.
For leak testing conducted as part of the preoperational and operational testing programs, FPL considers that the qualification requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8 (ANSI N18.1-1971) and ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraph 3.0 to be an acceptable alternative to SNT-TC-1A-1975 requirements for leak testing, except for leak testing defined in and performed under Section III of the ASME Code, where in such cases, the Code shall govern.
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev. DRAFf 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 Page 11 of 23 For preoperational.and operational inspection, examination and testing by Quality Control Inspectors, FPL considers that Position C.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 1 and ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraph 3.0 are acceptable requirements for training and qualification, except for inspections, tests and examinations defined in and performed under Section III of the ASME Code, where in such cases, the Code shall govern.
For all other preoperational and operational inspection, examination and testing performed by operating plant and support personnel, FPL considers that training and qualification to the requirement of ANSI N18.1-1971 and Regulatory Guide 1.8 are sufficient for the type and scope of activities performed and that qualifications to ANSI N45.2.6-1978 is unnecessary and redundant. These preoperational and operational inspection, examination tests shall be supervised or directed by personnel qualified to Position C.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 1.
FPL shall comply with Position C.10 of Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 1, effective with Revision 4 of the Topical Quality Assurance Report, in that all new certifications issued for personnel shall meet the education and experience requirements or shall document objective evidence demonstrating that the individual indeed does have comparable or equivalent competence to that which would be gained from having the required education and experience.
FPL's position on ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraph 2.3 is that an initial and periodic review (not to exceed two years) of personnel shall determine the capabilities in his qualified areL If during this review or at any other time, it is determined that the individual's capabilities are not in accordance with the specified requirements, that individual shall be removed from that activity until the required capability has been demonstrated. In addition, during this review a determination shall be made that an individual has been actively involved in the inspection process in his qualified areL

I I
Design verification shall be performed by technically qualified individual(s) or group(s) other than those who performed the design. The original designers and verifiers may both be from the design organization. Design verification by the designer's immediate supervisor shall be limited to those instances where the supervisor is the only qualified individual available within the design organization. These instances are further restricted to designs where the designs where the supervisor did not specify a singular design approach, or did not restrict design methods or alternatives, or did not specify design inputs (unless the specified design inputs have. already been independently verified). Justification for verification by the designer's immediate supervisor should be documented along with the extent of the supervisor's involvement in the design.
ANSI N45.2.11-1974, Paragraph 11.4 requires that "audits shall include an evaluation of design quality assurance policies, practices, procedures and instructions...." FPL's design quality assurance (and all other QA elements) policies, procedures and instructions are. included in FPL's Quality Assur'ance Program documentation. The Quality Assurance Department evaluates all of this documentation in reviews performed during its development and revision. Accordingly, FPL does not require subsequent (and redundant) evaluations of these Quality Assurance Program policies, procedures and instructions during audits. FPL audits will include evaluations of the adequacy of the practices which are the implementation of these policies, procedures and.
instructions.

Regulatory Guide 1.74 (2-74) endorses these terms and definitions and extends them through the operational phase and includes a clarification of procurement documents.
FPL has developed a glossary of terms and their definitions as part of the Quality Assurance Manual which is being used throughout its nuclear construction and operating plant activities.
The following definitions are currently listed in our glossary and are alternatives or clarifications to those listed in the ANSI Standard and Regulatory Guide:
Assembly A combination of subassemblies or components or both, fitted together to form a workable unit.
Audit A documented activity performed in accordance with written procedures or checklists to verify, by examination and evaluation of objective evidence, that applicable elements of the quality assurance program have been developed, documented and effectively implemented in accordance with specified requirements. An audit does not include surveillance or inspection for the purpose of process control or product acceptance.
Guidelines Particular provisions which are considered good practice but which are not mandatory in programs intended to comply with Standards. The term "should" denotes a guideline; the term "shall" denotes a requirement and the word "may" denotes permission, neither a requirement nor a recommendation.

R l v2A I 42-14 ANSI N45.2.9-1974, Section 3.2.5 requires Quality Assurance records be classified as lifetime or non-permanent and further defines lifetime and non-permanent in Section 2.2 of the Standard.
FPL provides the following definitions as an alternative to the above.
Lifetime Records: Records which are required by the NRC facility operating license, the NRC construction permit, applicable parts of 10CFR, the FSAR, or other NRC commitments to be retained for the life of the plant.

ANSI N45.2.9-1974, requirements for Section 5.6, "Facility", are clarified by FPL as follows:
QA records shall be stored in a manner as to protect contents &om possible destruction by causes such as fire, flooding, tornados, insects, rodents, and Rom possible deterioration by a combination of extreme variations in temperature and humidity conditions.
A QA Record Storage Evaluation Team (QARSET) shall be responsible for determining methods utilized to assure that QA Records are adequately stored and protected.
The QARSET shall consist of the following: the Quality

If necessary, the above QARSET Committee may delegate appropriate designees to serve as team members.
As part of their responsibility, the QARSET shall evaluate the status of existing facilities and the adequacy of additional records facilities prior to the construction of a new facility or the conversion of existing structures. Preferably, such evaluations should be performed during the design phase.
ANSI N45.2.9-1974 will be utilized in the evaluation of potential record storage facilities.
Section 5.6 "Facilities" is modified as follows and shall be the basis for QARSET approved QA Record Storage Facilities.
- 1. A 2-hour vault meeting NFPA No. 232 without additional provisions.

The following clarification applies to the above statement. For FPL plants in the construction phase (to the point of plant operation license) temporary use of equipment and facilities may be used according to need and/or situation. In this case, authorization for usage shall be provided along with all the documents, conditions, safeguards and evaluations to verify permanent plant equipment adequacy.
In the operations phase all equipment, including temporary equipment, is subject to identical controls to preclude adverse effects on safety and suitability for use.
e i 2 Rv AN IN4 21-1 ANSI N45.2.13-1976 Section 1.1 states that the extent to which the individual requirements of this standard will apply will depend upon the nature and scope of the work to be performed and the required quality of the items or services purchasers For commercial grade items, FPL has determined that certain aspects of the individual requirements of ANSI N45.2.13 need not apply.
Commercial grade items are those (1) not subject to design or specification requirements that are unique to facilities or activities licensed by the NRC, and (2) used in applications other than facilities or activities licensed by the NRC, and (3) to be ordered from the manufacturer/supplier on the basis of specifications set forth in the manufacturer's published product description. These commercial items are subject to varying degrees of control as indicated in the FPL Quality Assurance Manual.
As a minimum, an evaluation is performed by qualified personnel to assure that the commercial item satisfies the necessary technical and quality requirements and the item is checked upon receipt to assure that the item received was the one ordered, damage was not sustained during shipment, and documentation, if required, was received.

DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 Page 20 of 23 ANSI N45.2.13-1976 Section 1.3 provides a definition of "procurement document" which is different from the definition contained in ANSI N45.2.10-1973 and Regulatory Guide 1.74. The Florida Power & Light (FPL) Quality Assurance Program uses the definition of "procurement document" contained in ANSI N45.2.10-1973 as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.74.
ANSI N45.2.13-1976 Section 3.3.a requires that procurement documents be reviewed prior to release for bid and contract award. The FPL Quality Assurance Program requires procurement document reviews prior to bid and contract award for all safety related purchases with the exception of these accomplished by "Confirming Purchase Order". A "Confirming Purchase Order" is an order which is initially placed verbally with the supplier and then later confirmed with a written Purchase Order. A "Confirming Purchase Order" is only used when time restraints would prohibit the normal review and approval cycle. The following controls are provided in the FPL Quality Assurance Manual to assure that the intent of ANSI N45.2.13 is satisfied for "Confirming Purchase Orders".
(1) Quality Assurance must be contacted prior to contacting the supplier to place the order unless it is an emergency purchase after normal working hours in which case Quality Assurance is contacted the next working day.
(2) Prior to verbally placing the order, it must be verified that the intended supplier is on the FPL Quality Assurance Approved Supplier List.
(3) The verbally placed order must be promptly followed-up (confirmed) with a written procurement document which is subject to all reviews and approvals required for safety related purchases.
Section 8.2 of ANSI N45.2.13 identifies those nonconformances which shall be submitted to the Purchaser. Florida Power & Light's (FPL) position regarding the nonconformances to be reported is as follows. Suppliers (including A/E's and Contractors) shall submit all .
nonconformances which consist of one or more of the following:
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev.
DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 Page 21 of 23
- 1) Technical or material requirements are violated.
- 2) Requirement in supplier documents which have been approved by the Purchaser is violated.
- 3) Nonconformances which would affect the quality of the item in regard to function of safety related features. In cases where the supplier cannot make this determination, they shall be submitted to the Purchaser for evaluation.
This policy assures that all nonconformances affecting safety related functions will be reviewed and approved by FPL. In all cases, the supplier's documentation on nonconformances is available for FPL's review..
1 R l i 11 AN I 4 24-1 2 ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Paragraph 2.5.2 requires that equipment be "suitably marked to indicate date'f next required calibration". In lieu of marking equipment, FPL has chosen to control calibration of installed instrumentation and control equipment by maintaining records for each piece of equipment by instrument tag number (or equivalent) to show that established schedules and procedures for calibration have been followed.
44 R I 4 212-1 Regulatory Guide 1.144, Positions C.3 a&b, states in part that applicable elements of an organization's Quality Assurance Program should be audited at least annually or at least once within the life of the activity, whichever is shorter.
143334993 ANSI NISII 1976/ANS33, 9 6 Pl 4445 ( d d 37 3 6 I N 3 ld 1.33 Revision 2) states in part; "Audits of selected aspects of plant eyeradea operational phase activities shall be performed with a frequency commensurate with their safety significance, and .
e'= in such a manner as to assure that an audit of safety related aeh~Qes functions is completed within a period of two years."
TOPICAL QUALITYASSURANCE REPORT APP. C Rev. DRAFT 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 5/30/90 page 22 p f 23 FPL has chosen a two year cycle for auditing elements of the internal and on-site QA Program during the operation phase of plant life following initial fuel loading. FPL's position is that the two year cycle: (1) allows more in-depth and meaningful audits in each regularly scheduled area, (2) permits more audits of ongoing activities, and (3) in conjunction with the planning and scheduling requirement of TQR 18.0 provides for a comprehensive audit program. The audit frequency requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.144 will be followed during other plants'hases.
In the case of suppliers, an annual evaluation of quality performance history shall be performed to determine reaudit requirements. Reaudit requirements for suppliers shall be based on the quality performance, and the complexity and criticality of the equipment or service being procured.
ANSI N45.2.12, Paragraph 4.3.1 states: "A brief pre-audit conference shall be conducted at the audit site with cognizant organization management. The purpose of the conference shall be to confirm the audit scope, present the audit plan, introduce auditors, meet counterparts, discuss audit sequence and plans for the postaudit conference, and establish channels of communication."
FPL will not require the pre-audit conference for audits of limited scope and of specific site activities conducted by the Construction and Operations Groups. This conference is omitted because the day-to- day contact of the auditors and plant management, the awareness on the part of plant management that these audits are conducted without pre-audit conferences, and the limited scope of the audits meet the intent of a pre-audit conference.
ANSI Standard N45.2.12-1977, Paragraph 4.5.1 states in part "The audited organization shall provide a follow-up report stating the corrective action taken and the date corrective action was completed". The FPL QA Program requires the QA Department to followup on all action taken by the audited department. This is documented on the corrective action followup form by the QA Department and closed by the QA Department instead of the audited department. This assures that all actions taken by the audited department are verified by the QA Department and that the QA Department concurs with the resolution. We feel that it is appropriate for this to be documented by the QA Department instead of the audited department.

The terms plan and/or planning are included in FPL's activities as indicated in the following clarification:
Planning is considered to be a management process or analytical tool used as an aid to help develop identification and/or development of program requirements, implementation activities, assignments and staffing, inspections, surveillances and audits, controls and other activities to assure completeness of the requirements. Planning, as such, is not always documented nor addressed as an end item and is considered to be an integral "process" within the developed item.
Plans which are considered to be end type or output type documents have the term "plan" in the title, such as ISI Master Plan, Audit Plan, Start-up Plan, and others, which as such will reflect directly the requirement of these standards in the appropriate documents.
r Plans which are not considered to be end type or output type documents do not have the word plan in the title. However, certain procedures, instructions, flow charts, schedules and checklists may be considered to be plans reflecting planned actions which especially require ..
step-by-step accomplishments. In these cases, the term plan may not appear in the title but considered to be a plan only in the indirect sense and identified as a procedure or other document. FPL considers the above practice to be in compliance with the "plan" requirements of these standards.

T ARA n ix I 'ficati n AN IAN 1-1 P L2 The Regulatory Guides and industry standards listed in Appendix C to the Topical Quality Assurance Report take precedence over any Regulatory Guide or industry standard which may be referenced in any one of these documents.
i 1 Rv1A IN1 1-1 1ANIAN 1 PL-2 ANSI N18.1 describes the training and education requirements for plant staff positions and is endorsed by Reg. Guide 1.8 with an exception. That exception is the requirements for the Supervisor - Radiation Protection. ANSI N18.1 is invoked by Technical Specifications (Appendix A of the Facility Operating License) at the Turkey Point plants and PSL-1.
ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978 is invoked by Technical Specification at PSL-2. Reg. Guide 1.8 is also invoked by Technical Specifications at our St. Lucie plant and a license amendment has been approved for our Turkey Point plant to specify the Health Physics Supervisor qualifications addressed in Reg.

To avoid duplication of requirements, FPL will address Plant Staff Qualifications in only the Technical Specifications.
R l 4 24-1 2 ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Paragraph 2.3 addresses installation specifications and requires the inclusion of inspection and test objectives. FPL maintains that test values and inspection scope are inherently contained in the applicable procedures.
ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Paragraph 6.1.2 requires that the inspection of installed equipment verify that "good and proper workmanship" has prevailed. FPL maintains that acceptable parameter compliance with codes and standards along with company preference is the verification of "good and proper workmanship".

ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 4.3, requires that personnel performing the independent review and audit be specified in number and technical discipline. This standard is invoked by the Technical Specifications (Appendix A of the Facility Operating Licenses) which have been approved for the FPL nuclear plants at St. Lucie and Turkey Point. Specifically this function is performed by the Company Nuclear Review Board (CNRB) identified in Section 6.5.2 of the Technical Specifications.
To avoid duplication of requi'rements, FPL will address the personnel and functions of this independent review and audit only in the Technical Specifications.
FPL's method of addressing Section 5.2 of ANSI N18.7-1976, as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, is by administratively controlling licensed operator hours on shift and by our Duty Call Supervisor system. Further, FPL has developed a response to NUREG 0654 which provides staffing availability.

TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX Rev. -
8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 6/12/90 Page 5 of 23 Chemical cleaning is not presently controlled as a special process per se; however, the requirements of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 and Regulatory Guide 1.37 dated 3/16/73 are part of the FPL QA Program and are met in our program. FPL proposes these requirements to be an alternative to the requirements of ANSI N18.7-1976, Paragraph 5.2.18. Further, TQR 9.0, Paragraph 9.2 explains the review of potential special processes and determination of their status as special processes.
FPL meets the intent of Section 5.2.19.3 of ANSI N18.7-1976 as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, as applied to significant changes to operating procedures, by the technical review of the procedure change by knowledgeable plant professionals, by the safety review of the procedure change by the on-site facility review group, by the regulatory and QA review of the procedure by plant Quality Control, by training the licensed operators in the change through the training report system, and by trained, licensed operators using the revised operating procedure and observing the proper result. In addition, procedure changes will be reviewed to assure 10 CFR 50.59 requirements are met.
Paragraph 5.3.5(4) - Clarification - When FPL uses vendor manuals and drawings which provide adequate instructions for maintenance, these documents are attached or referenced with Plant Work Orders which are reviewed and approved by Supervisory and Quality Control personnel and are considered to be adequate procedures in themselves. These vendor manuals and drawings, when received at site, are controlled documents and changes to the applicable sections and instructions of these documents require the same level of review and approval as the .
operating procedures.
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 lists "typical safety related activities which should be covered by written procedures". Regulatory Guide 1.33 is invoked by the Technical Specifications at FPL Nuclear Plants.
In order to avoid duplication of requirements invoked in our licensing documents, the FPL Quality Assurance Program does not list those required operating procedures specified in Appendix A.
1 TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 FRL Page 6 of 23 i 1 A IN4 2-1 ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Paragraph 5 states in part that, "Fitted and tackwelded joints (which will not be immediately sealed by welding) shall be wrapped with polyethylene or other non-halogenated plastic film until the welds can be completed". The FPL QA Manual shall require that the weld be covered to prevent entry of moisture and contaminants but will not specify the material to be employed. Materials employed to cover openings shall meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.37, Position 4.
ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Paragraph 7.1 states in part, "provisions shall be made to collect leakage and protect insulation from being wetted". FPL Quality Assurance Program includes the above requirements. However, FPL's program allows the wetting of metallic type insulations which are not adversely affected by wetting.
ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Paragraphs 7.2.2, 7.2.3, and 7.3 address specific cleaning methods (Alkaline, Chelate, Acid) and make recommendations associated with several types of cleaning methods'. FPL's QA manual does not specifically delineate these paragraphs. However, the procedure developed per Paragraph 2.2 of ANSI N45.2.1 will ensure that any specific cleaning method chosen willbe properly considered and controlled.
R 1 Rv2 I 4 22-1 2 FPL will meet the requirements of Reg. Guide 1.38, Rev. 2, Position 2C, D and E for safety related applications during preoperational and operational activities. Restrictions imposed for tapes to be color constrasting willonly be applied to the extent that these colors are dissimilar or otherwise distinguishable. This does not preclude using other tapes when precuations are taken to ensure these tapes do not come in contact with austentic stainless steel or nickel alloy materials.
Vapor barrier material (other than metal) shall be colored to contrast with or be otherwise distinguishable from safety related systems to prevent undisclosed entry into the system.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 0 t 6/12/90 Page 7 of 23 These requirements do not apply to components in storage which would require removal of such tapes and baniers to effect installation.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Section 2.7 requires that items governed by this standard be classified into one of four levels by the buyer or the contractor. FPL intends to consider what care is appropriate for each item individually rather than generically classifying the material into protection levels and providing care required of that. level. The following shall be considered when determining the handling, storage, and shipping requirements:
- 1. The vendor's recommended handling, shipping, and storage standards.
- 2. Envitonmental requirements which may include such requirements as inert gas atmosphere, humidity limits, temperature limits, chemical requirements, acceleration (g force) requirements.
- 3. Special tools or equipment which are provided and controlled as necessary to ensure safe and adequate handling, These tools or equipment shall be inspected and tested at specified times to verify that they are adequately maintained.
- 4. Packaging, covering or coatings required to meet environmental requirements such as bamer and wrap material, desiccants, pipe caps, plugs, contact preservatives, etc.
- 5. Container, crating, skids of sufficient strength to support the item (including stacking).
- 6. Cushioning, blocking, bracing, and anchoring to prevent movement during shipment or handling.
- 7. Special handling or storage procedures for unique situations.
- 8. Marking and identification of the item and its packaging.
- 9. Anticipated "shelf life" of the item.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 6/12/g0 FPL Page 8 of 23 FPL considers this to be a more effective approach since the quantity of spare and replacement material, parts and components governed by this standard will be afforded protection commensurate with the recommendations of Section 2.7 of this standard.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Sections 3.0, 4.0, and the Appendix address all the requirements applicable to the packaging and shipping of material. FPL in general does not package or ship material governed by this standard. Suppliers of material are required by purchase order to provide adequate packaging and shipping protection. Isolated cases of 'material packaging or shipping are treated on a case-by-case basis and receive protection comparable to that required by the manufacturer of that material. Loading, rigging and handling precautions identified in Section 4.3 are applied to material unloaded by FPL from a transport vehicle.
ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Section 5.2 requires that specific attributes of material and components received by FPL be inspected. For plants with operating licenses FPL verifies conformance to procurement documents during receipt inspections. Any of these attributes identified in these procurement documents are verified during this inspection.
ANSI N45.2,2-1972 Section 5,2, paragraph 5.2.1, requires certain preliminary inspections to be done "prior to unloading" of material which is received. We believe that the sequence specified in the standard is to facilitate commercial claims, and should these preliminary inspections occur "after unloading" that control of materials quality would not be degraded. Accordingly, required shipping damage inspections may be performed after unloading.
The requirements of ANSI N45.2.2, Paragraph 7.2 'for items that require special handling instructions is clarified by FPL to be limited to those items covered in the scope of NVREG 0612, entitled "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants".
ANSI N45.2.2-1972, Paragraph 7.4 requires that an inspection program be established for handling equipment and rigging, including methods for identifying acceptable and nonconforming items. In lieu of having a program of periodic, documented inspections of rigging and handling equipment, FPL's practice is to have the individual user determine the equipment's acceptability prior to each use. This prior-to-use inspection is exactly the same as
U TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 Page 9 of 23 that required during periodic inspections, and uses criteria identified in ANSI N45.2.2-1972, paragraph 7.4. This practice also precludes the need for a system to indicate the acceptability of rigging and handling equipment. Implementation of this prior-to-use inspection willbe assured through periodic surveillances and audits performed by Quality Assurance and Quality Control.
Cranes are inspected on a periodic basis and will not be subjected to this prior-to-use inspection.
Certain mechanical components of the PSL-2 nuclear unit have been designed for a service environment of the site area because portions of the plant are exposed to the temperature, humidity, and ocean salt spray during operations. Extreme air temperature variations, snow or slush are not encountered during operations or in the out-of-doors storage environment. As an h
alternative to the rigid requirements of storage levels B and C in paragraph 6.1 of ANSI N45.2.2-1972, FPL proposes to store these particular mechanical components outdoors, but within controlled areas, with sufficient periodic surveillances and inspections to minimize the possibility of damage or lowering of quality due to corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or physical damage. In cases where special environmental conditions are present (i.e. hurricanes, paint sprays, concrete pours, etc.) precautions or additional steps will be taken to further protect the items.
R la i 1 Rv 2AN IN4 2. -1 For FPL's operating nuclear plants, alternative methods are followed to achieve equivalent objectives for the below listed sections of ANSI N45.2.3-1973:
The zone designations of Section 2.1 of N45.2.3 and the requirements associated with each zone are not consistent with the FPL Housekeeping requirements at our operating nuclear units. In lieu of the zone designation, cleanliness is maintained at a level consistent with the work being performed, so as to prevent the entry of foreign material into safety related systems. Documented cleanliness inspections are performed immediately prior to system closure. Control of personnel, tools, equipment, and supplies is established with approved procedures when the safety function of a system, component, or item may be jeopardized and also while the reactor system is opened for inspection, maintenance, or repair.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 Page 10 of 23 R I i 1 Rvii nlAN IN4 2 1 ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraphs 1.1, 3.1, 3.2.2(a) and 4 (Table-1) identify requirements which apply to personnel who perform inspections, tests or nondestructive examinations or who participate in the approval of procedures, the handling of data or test results, or the control of reports alld records.
FPL proposes an alternative to capability requirements for those who participate in: (1) the approval of procedures, (2) the handling of data or test results and (3) the control of reports and records. FPL accomplishes this by having personnel determined to be qualified and competent by management though consideration of education, training, and experience.
The Florida Power 8c Light Company position on the scope of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 is that personnel participating in testing who take data or make observations, where special training is not required to perform this function, need not be qualified in accordance with ANSI N45,2.6 but need only be trained to the extent necessary to perform the assigned function.
For leak testing conducted as part of the preoperational and operational testing programs, FPL considers that the qualification requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8 (ANSI N18.1-1971) and ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraph 3.0 to be an acceptable alternative to SNT-TC-1A-1975 requirements for leak testing, except for leak testing defined in and performed under Section III of the ASME Code, where in such cases, the Code shall govern.
For preoperational and operational inspection, examination and testing by Quality Control Inspectors, FPL considers that-Position C.l of Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 1 and ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraph 3.0 are acceptable requirements for training and qualification, except for inspections, tests and examinations defined in and performed under Section IIIof the ASME Code, where in such cases, the Code shall govern.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 Pege 11 0< 23 For all other preoperational and operational inspection, examination and testing performed by operating plant and support personnel, FPL considers that training and qualification to the requirement of ANSI N18.1-1971 and Regulatory Guide 1.8 are sufficient for the type and scope of activities performed and that qualifications to ANSI N45.2.6-1978 is unnecessary and .
redundant. These preoperational and operational inspection, examination tests shall be supervised or directed by personnel qualified to Position C.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision l.
FPL shall comply with Position C.10 of Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 1, effective with Revision 4 of the Topical Quality Assurance Report, in that all new certifications issued for personnel shall meet the education and experience requirements or shall document objective evidence demonstrating that the individual indeed does have comparable or equivalent competence to that which would be gained from having the required education and experience.
FPL's position on ANSI N45.2.6-1978, Paragraph 2.3 is that an initial and periodic review (not to exceed two years) of personnel shall determine the capabilities in his qualified area. Ifduring this review or at any other time, it is determined that the individual's capabilities are not in accordance with the specified requirements, that individual shall be removed from that activity until the required capability has been demonstrated. In addition, during this review a determination shall be made that an individual has been actively involved in the inspection process in his qualified area R l R v 2 AN I N4 .211-1 4 FPL's exception to Regulatory Guide position C.2 is as follows:
Design verification shall be performed by technically qualified individual(s) or group(s) other V
than those who performed the design. The original designers and verifiers may both be from the design organization. Design verification by the designer's immediate supervisor shall be limited to those instances where the supervisor is the only qualified individual,available within the design organization. Mesc instances are further restricted to designs where the designs where the
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev.
BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 Page 12 of 23 supervisor did not specify a singular design approach, or did not restrict design methods or alternatives, or did not specify design inputs (unless the specified design inputs have already been independently verified). Justification for verification by the designer's immediate supervisor should be documented along with the extent of the supervisor's involvement in the design.
ANSI N45.2.11-1974, Paragraph 11.4 requires that "audits shall include an evaluation of design quality assurance policies, practices, procedures and instructions...." FPL's design quality assurance (and all other QA elements) policies, procedures and instructions are included in FPL's Quality Assurance Program documentation. The Quality Assurance Department evaluates all of this documentation in reviews performed during its development and revision. Accordingly, FPL does not require subsequent (and redundant) evaluations of these Quality Assurance Program policies, procedures and instructions during audits. FPL audits will include evaluations of the adequacy of the practices which are the implementation of these policies, procedures and instructions.
R 1 i 1 11 Regulatory Guide 1.68 (11/73) entitled "Preoperational and Initial Start-up Test Programs for Water Cooled Power Reactors" is addressed in Section 14.2.1'f the St. Lucie Unit 2 FSAR which states in part, "The start-up test program is developed using the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.68". To avoid duplication of requirements, FPL will address Regulatory Guide 1.68 in the FSAR.
i 1 4ANIN4 21 -1 ANSI N45.2.10 - 1973 identifies terms and their definitions important to the uniform understanding of the intent of requhed quality assurance practices for the construction of nuclear power plants. Regulatory Guide 1.74 (2-74) endorses these terms and definitions and extends them through the operational phase and includes a clarification of procurement documents.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev.
BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX SnlrteO page 13 of . 23 FPL has developed a glossary of terms and their definitions as part of the Quality Assurance Manual which is being used throughout its nuclear construction and operating plant activities.
The following definitions are currently listed in our glossary and are alternatives or clarifications to those listed in the ANSI Standard and Regulatory Guide:
Assembly A combination of subassemblies or components or both, fitted together to form a workable unit.
Audit A documented activity performed in accordance with written procedures or checklists to verify, by examination and evaluation of objective evidence, that applicable elements of the quality assurance program have been developed, documented and effectively implemented in accordance with specified requirements. An audit does not include surveillance or inspection for the purpose of process control or product acceptance.
Guidelines Particular provisions which are considered good practice but which are not mandatoiy in programs intended to comply with Standards.
The term "should" denotes a guideline; the term "shall" denotes a requirement; and the word "may" denotes permission, neither a requirement nor a recommendation.
Inspector (Owner's or Installer's) A qualified inspector employed by the Owner or Installer, whose duties include the verification of quality related activities on installations.
Inspection Examination, observation, or measurement to determine the conformance of materials, supplies, components, parts, appurtenances, systems, processes, or structures to predetermined requirements.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Oa<<@IMP FPL Page 14 of 23 Procurement Documents Contractually binding documents, including such documents as contracts, letters of intent, work orders, purchase orders or proposals and their acceptances which authorize the seller to perform services or supply equipment, material, or facilities on behalf of the purchaser.
Quali6cation (Personnel) The characteristics or abilities gained through training or experience or both as measured against established requirements such as standards or tests that qualify an individual to perform a required function.
Quality Assurance All those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a structure, system or component will perform satisfactorily in service. Quality Assurance includes quality control.
Quality Control Those quality assurance actions related to the physical characteristics or material, structure, component or system, which provide a means to control the quality of the material, structure, component or system to predetermined requirements.
Storage That period following the release of an item for shipment until turnover for start-up preoperational testing. This would include in-place storage.
System An integral part of a nuclear power plant comprised of electrical, electronic, or mechanical components (or combinations thereof) that may be operated as a separate entity to perform a specific function.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev.
BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 APL Page 15 of 23 Testing Performance of those steps necessary to determine that systems or components function in accordance with predetermined specifications.
"R i m A mandatory action, denoted by the word shall. (See "Guidelines" )
Requirements are generally based on statutes or regulations, but may be internally generated within the company. "Shall" is therefore used for both external, legally enforceable actions and,internal requirements not enforceable under current NRC practices.
R l i 1Rv2AN42-14 ANSI N45.2.9-1974, Section 3.2.5 requires Quality Assurance records be classified as lifetime or non-permanent and further defines lifetime and non-permanent in Section 2.2 of the Standard.
FPL provides the following definitions as an alternative to the above.
Lifetime Records: Records which are required by the NRC facility operating license, the NRC construction permit, applicable parts of 10CFR, the FSAR, or other NRC commitments to be retained for the life of the plant.
Non-permanent Recotds: Records which are required by the NRC facility operating license, the NRC construction permit, applicable parts of 10CFR, the FSAR, or other NRC commitments to be retained for periods of time less than the life of the plant.
ANSI N45.2.9-1974, requirements for Section 5.6, "Facility", are clarified by FPL as follows:
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date g12PP FPL Page 16 of 23 QA records shall be stored in a manner as to protect contents from possible destruction by causes such as fire, flooding, tornados, insects, rodents, and from possible deterioration by a combination of extreme variations in temperature and humidity conditions.
A QA Record Storage Evaluation Team (QARSET) shall be responsible for determining methods utilized to assure that QA Records are adequately stored and protected.
The QARSET shall consist of the following: the Quality Manager - Juno Beach, the Loss Prevention Engineer, and the Manager of Corporate Record Services, who shall be responsible for maintaining records of evaluations and establishing schedules to assure that reevaluations are performed every two (2) years. If necessary, the above QARSET Committee may delegate appropriate designees to serve as team members.
As part of their responsibility, the QARSET shall evaluate the status of existing facilities and the adequacy of additional records facilities prior to the construction of a.new facility or the conversion of existing structures. Preferably, such evaluations should be performed during the design phase.
ANSI N45.2.9-1974 will be utilized in the evaluation of potential record storage facilities.
Section 5.6 "Facilities" is modified as follows and shall be the basis for QARSET approved QA Record Storage Facilities.
- 1. A 2-hour vault meeting NFPA No. 232 without additional provisions.

TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev.
BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX Date 6/12/90 Page 19 of 23 The following clarification applies to the above statement. For FPL plants in the construction phase (to the point of plant operation license) temporary use of equipment and facilities may be used according to need and/or situation. In this case, authorization for usage shall be provided along with all the documents, conditions, safeguards and evaluations to verify permanent plant equipment adequacy.
In the operations phase all equipment, including temporary equipment, is subject to identical controls to preclude adverse effects on safety and suitability for use.
i 112 Rv 1AN IN4 21-1 ANSI N45.2.13-1976 Section 1.1 states that the extent to which the individual requirements of this standard will apply willdepend upon the nature and scope of the work to be performed and the required quality of the items or services purchased. For commercial grade items, FPL has determined that certain aspects of the individual requirements. of ANSI N45.2.13 need not apply.
Commercial grade items are those (1) not subject to design or specification requirements that are unique to facilities or activities licensed by the NRC, and (2) used in applications other than facilities or activities licensed by the NRC, and (3) to be ordered from the manufacturer/supplier on the basis of specifications set forth in the manufacturer's published product description.
These commercial items are subject to varying degrees of control as indicated in the FPL Quality Assurance Manual.
As a minimum, an evaluation is performed by qualified personnel to assure that the commercial item satisfies the necessary technical and quality requirements and the item is checked upon receipt to assure that the item received was the one ordered, damage was not sustained during shipment, and documentation, ifrequired, was received.
ANSI N45.2.13-1976 Section 1.3 provides a definition of "procurement document" which is different from the definition contained in ANSI N45,2.10-1973 and Regulatory Guide 1.74. The Florida Power & Light (FPL) Quality Assurance Program uses the definition of "procurement document" contained in ANSI N45.2. 10-1973 as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.74.
I
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev.
8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 Page 20 of 23 ANSI N45.2.13-1976 Section 3.3.a requires that procurement documents be reviewed prior to release for bid and contract award. 'The FPL Quality Assurance Program requires procurement document reviews prior to bid and contract award for all safety related purchases with the exception of these accomplished by "Confirming Purchase Order". A "Confirming Purchase Order" is an order which is initially placed verbally with the supplier and then later confirmed with a written Purchase Order. A "Confirming Purchase Order" is only used when time restraints would prohibit the normal review and approval cycle. The following controls are provided in the FPL Quality Assurance Manual to assure that the intent of ANSI N45.2.13 is satisfied for "Confirming Purchase Orders".
(1) Quality Assurance must be contacted prior to contacting the supplier to place the order unless it is an emergency purchase after normal working hours in which case Quality Assurance is contacted the next working day.
(2) Prior to verbally placing the order, it must be verified that the intended supplier is on the FPL Quality Assurance Approved Supplier List.
(3) The verbally placed order must be promptly followed-up (confirmed) with a written procurement document which is subject to all reviews and approvals required for safety related purchases.
Section 8.2 of ANSI N45.2.13 identifies those nonconformances which shall be submitted to the Purchaser. Florida Power 8c Light's (FPL) position regarding the nonconformances to be reported is as follows. Suppliers (including A/E's and Contractors) shall submit all nonconformances which consist of one or more of the following:
- 1) Technical or material requirements are violated.
- 2) Requirement in supplier documents which have been approved by the Purchaser is violated.
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 6/12/90 APL >>se 21 << 23
- 3) Nonconformances which would affect the quality of the item in regatd to function of safety related features. In cases where the supplier cannot make this determination, they shall be submitted to the Purchaser for evaluation.
This policy assures that all nonconformances affecting safety related functions will be reviewed and approved by FPL. In all cases, the supplier's documentation on nonconformances is available for FPL's review.
i 1 4 24-1 2 ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Paragraph 2.5.2 requires that equipment be "suitably marked to indicate date of next required calibration". In lieu of marking equipment, FPL has chosen to control calibration of installed instrumentation and control equipment by maintaining records for each piece of equipment by instrument tag number (or equivalent) to show that established schedules and procedures for calibration have been followed.
\
R I i 1144 R v 1 AN N4 212-1 Regulatory Guide 1.144, Positions C.3 a&b, states in part that applicable elements of an organization's Quality Assurance Program should be audited at least annually or at least once within the life of the activity, whichever is shorter.
ANSI N18.7-1976/ANS-3.2, Paragraph 4.5 (endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33 Revision 2) states in part; "Audits of selected aspects of operational phase activities shall be performed with a frequency commensurate with their safety significance, and in such a manner as to assure that an audit of safety related functions is completed within a period of two years."
FPL has chosen a two year cycle for auditing elements of the internal and on-site QA Program during the operation phase of plant life following initial fuel loading. FPL's position is that the two year cycle: (1) allows more in-depth and meaningful audits in each regularly scheduled area,
TOPICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT APPENDIX C Rev. 8 BASELINE DOCUMENT MATRIX 0 t 6/12/90 Page 22 of '23 (2) permits more audits of ongoing activities, and (3) in conjunction with the planning and scheduling requirement of TQR 18.0 provides for a comprehensive audit program. The audit frequency requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.144 will be followed during other plants'hases.
In the case of suppliers, an annual evaluation of quality performance history shall be performed to determine reaudit requirements. Reaudit requirements for suppliers shall be based on the quality performance, and the complexity and criticality of the equipment or service being procured.
ANSI N45.2.12, Paragraph 4.3.1 states: "A brief pre-audit conference shall be conducted at the audit site with cognizant organization management. The purpose of the conference shall be to confirm the audit scope, present the audit plan, introduce auditors, meet counterparts, discuss audit sequence and plans for the postaudit conference, and establish channels of communication."
FPL will not require the pre-audit conference for audits of limited scope and of specific site activities conducted by the Construction and Operations Groups. This conference is omitted because the day-to- day contact of the auditors and plant management, the awareness on the part of plant management that these audits are conducted without pre-audit conferences, and the limited scope of the audits meet the intent of a pre-audit conference.
ANSI Standard N45.2.12-1977, Paragraph 4.5.1 states in part "The audited organization shall provide a follow-up report stating the corrective action taken and the date corrective action was completed". The FPL QA Program requires the QA Department to followup on all action taken by the audited department. This is documented on the corrective action followup form by the QA Department and closed by the QA Department instead of the audited department. This assures that all actions taken by the audited department are verified by the QA Department and that the QA Department concurs with the resolution. We feel that it is appropriate for this to be documented by the QA Department instead of the audited department.

The terms plan and/or planning are included in FPL's activities as indicated in the following clarification:
Planning is considered to be a management process or analytical tool used as an aid to help develop identification and/or development of program requirements, implementation activities, assignments and staffing, inspections, surveillances and audits, controls and other activities to assure completeness of the requirements. Planning, as such, is not always documented nor addressed as an end item and is considered to be an integral "process" within the developed item.
Plans which are considered to be end type or output type documents have the term "plan" in the title, such as ISI Master Plan, Audit Plan, Start-up Plan, and others, which as such will reflect directly the requitement of these standards in the appropriate documents.
Plans which are not considered to be end type or output type documents do not have the word plan in the title. However, certain procedures, instructions, flow charts, schedules and checklists may be considered to be plans reflecting planned actions which especially require step-by-step accomplishments. In these cases, the term plan may not appear in the title but considered to be a plan only in the indirect sense and identified as a procedure or other document. FPL considers the above practice to be in compliance with the "plan" requirements of these standards.
