VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23261 April 9, 1998 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Serial No.98-191 Attention: Document Control Desk NL&OS/MAE RO Washington, D.C. 20555 Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 Gentlemen:
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 UPDATED FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT REVISION 29 Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.71 (e), Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power) submits Revision 29 to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for Surry Power Station. This revision updates only Chapter 17 of the UFSAR which contains the Operational Quality Assurance (QA) Program and contains all changes to Chapter 17 since the last update. These changes to the program description do not reduce the commitments contained therein. This revision is being made at this time to support the licensing of the l'.'Jorth Anna Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation since Chapter 17 is common in the North Anna and Surry UFSARs.
Two of the specific changes included are the use of optical disks for document storage and the clarification of the use of summary reports for inservice inspection quality assurance records. As discussed in the NRC counterparts meeting on March 12, 1998, Virginia Power has begun storing quality assurance records in electronic form on optical disks. This method of storage meets the intent of Generic Letter 88-18, dated October 20, 1988. Also, the summary report of the inspection of steam generator tubing during inservice inspections will be treated as the quality assurance record documenting the results of the inspection.
One signed original and ten copies of Revision 29 to the UFSAR are enclosed. Each revision package contains replacement instructions for existing pages.
As a duly authorized officer of the Virginia Electric and Power Company, I hereby certify that the information given in the enclosed Revision 29 of the UFSAR 9804170012 9850040009280 PDR ADOCK O PDR K

Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-vi Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR ABSTRACT This topical report describes Virginia Electric and Power Company's, hereafter referred to
- as the Company, quality assurance program for the operational phase of its nuclear power stations.
The report is organized as, distributed, and used for Chapter 17, part 2 - Quality Assurance (Operations) - of the Company's Updated Final Safety Analysis Reports. The Company quality assurance program conforms to applicable regulatory requirements such as 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and to approved industry standards endorsed therein as clarified within this topical report.
Included is a point-by-point'<:omparison of the program with the 18 criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. This topical report is intended to be a comprehensive up-to-date description of the Company's Operational Quality Assurance Program for nuclear power generating stations.
The Operational Quality Assurance Program is defined as those managerial and administrative policies and controls used to assure the safe and reliable operation of the nuclear facilities. These include all those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence to management and regulatory agencies that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service. The Operational Quality Assurance Program encompasses policies, directives,* instructions, training, and procedures which ensure compliance with regulations, Codes, standards, licenses, and other Company commitments. As such, this topical report, in conjunction with the applicable operating license, provides the foundation for operating the nuclear facilities in a manner which ensures the safety of the public, employees, and plant equipment. The policies are further defined through the Nuclear Business Unit Standard (NBUS), I
- the applicable Safety Analysis Report (SAR), Nuclear Design Control Manual (NDCM), and each facility's emergency plan, physical security plan, radiological protection plan, and fire protection plan.

In the event of a design modification to a system which is safety related, engineering studies are initiated to evaluate parts, equipment, processes, and material suitability for repair of such equipment or components; previously approved items are used without further review. Previously approved materials, parts or components used for a different application are reviewed for suitability prior to approval for their new application.
Quality measures are assured through all levels of the design control program by the design control organization, station and Corporate support organizations, and the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee. Any errors or deficiencies noted in the design process are documented on the design change forms and subsequently corrected.
Procedures for design controls, analysis, and reviews have as their basis the applicable portions of documents referenced in the Nuclear Design Control Manual, and include ANSI N45.2.l 1-1974 as modified in Table 17.2.0.
The Nuclear Design Control Program Instruction Manual for Architect/Engineers establishes procedures to describe the design interface between the Company and contractors for the review, approval, release, distribution, and revision of documents involving design interfaces.
Suitable design controls are applied to such disciplines as reactor physics; seismic stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation and accident analysis, compatibility of materials; and accessibility for inservice inspection, maintenance and repair. Designs are reviewed to assure that ( 1) design characteristics can be controlled, inspected, and tested, and (2) inspection and test criteria are identified.
Changes to non-safety-related structures, systems, and components will be controlled in accordance with applicable procedures and to meet the requirements, where applicable, of 10 CFR 50.59.

- 17 .2.4 Procurement Document Control
- Administrative* procedures describe the program for completing procurement docum~nts including review, approval, document control, and change control. ln_addition, references to procedures that govern the actions of Nuclear Oversight and Vendor Surveillance are made which include provisions for access to the suppliers' facilities and records, for source inspection or audit, and qualification of vendors prior to the initiation of quality related actions when the need for such inspection and/or auditJ1as been determined. This program also provides for records to be prepared, maintained, made available for review, or delivered to the Company prior to use or installation of the hardware, such as drawings, specifications, procedures, procurement documents, inspection and test records, personnel and procedure qualifications, material, chemical and physical tests results, and the identification of quality assurance requirements applicable to the items or services purchased, including sub-tier procurement requirements when required.
Administrative procedures are established to ensure that procurement documents reference all actions required by a supplier in accordance with the applicable codes, specificati~ms, and drawings.
Procurement documents incorporate the design basis technical and quality requirements including the applicable regulatory requirements, component and material identification requirements, drawings, specifications, codes *and industrial standards, test and inspection requirements, and special instructions for special procedures such as welding, heating treating, non-destructive testing and cleaning as applicable.
Procurement documents for spare or replacement parts of safety-related structures, systems and components are subject to technical and quality controls at least equivalent to those used on the original equipment.
Procurement documents are prepared, reviewed, and approved as delineated in_
administrative controls. Copies of procurement documents, or equivalent documents such as Receiving Reports or Requisitioner's Purchase Orders, are retained and are available for review.
17.2.5 Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings As required by the individual unit's Technical Specifications, detailed written procedures are established, approved, implemented, and maintained.
Other activities affecting quality of structures, systems, and components within the scope of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B are prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances. These activities are accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Applicable instructions, procedures, or drawings include for reference appropriate qualitative and/or quantitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-20 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR Administrative procedures describe the requirements for developing, reviewing, approving, and controlling procedures used for testing as well as corrective maintenance, operating, design change implementation, administrative, and other activities performed at the power station. These requirements include references, prerequisites, precautions, limitations, manufacturer's specifications, check-off lists, and acceptance criteria (as appropriate). When applicable the acceptance limits and requirements contained in the design and procurement documents constitute a portion of the acceptance criteria referenced and contained in written testing procedures. ,..
Changes to procedures require an Activity Screening to be performed before a change can be implemented. The Activity Screening includes criteria the preparer must consider to determine if a safety evaluation is required for a proposed change. Procedure changes that require a safety evaluation are reviewed by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee (SNSOC) which serves as the onsite review group.
Procedure changes that do not require a safety evaluation as determined by the Activity Screening are not required to be reviewed by SNSOC, but still require independent review and approval by a Senior Reactor Operator and cognizant management prior to implementation. The above requirements are applicable to both intent and non-intent procedure changes. At its discretion, SNSOC may review procedure changes that do not require a safety evaluation in lieu of a Senior Reactor Operator (References 6 & 7). .
New procedures and procedure revisions are also reviewed using an Activity Screening to determine if a safety evaluation is required. If the procedure is new or if a revision requires a safety evaluation, the procedure is reviewed by SNSOC. Revisions that do not require a safety evaluation are reviewed by cognizant management prior to implementation. Due to the numerous programmatic reviews that are entailed in the preparation of new and revised procedures changes, a Senior Reactor Operator review is not mandatory. At its discretion, SNSOC may review procedure revisions that do not require a safety evaluation (References 6 & 7).
17.2.6 Document Control Measures are established and documented within the operating nuclear power stations and at Innsbrook Technical Center describing the control of documents, such as procedures, instructions, and drawings, to provide for their review, approval, and issue, and changes thereto, prior to release and to assure they are adequate and the quality requirements are stated. Provisions call for, among other things, ( 1) the review and approval of all new station procedures and design changes prior to release, the review and approval of all changes/revisions to station procedures and all proposed changes or modifications to plant systems or equipment that affect nuclear safety by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee, (2) policy and procedures for issuance of and changes to station drawings and approval of changes, and (3) the maintenance and distribution of these procedures. Normally changes to documents are reviewed and approved by
- the same organizations that performed the original review and approval; however, this
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2~21 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR
- responsibility may be delegated to other qualified responsible organizations. Approved changes are incorporated into procedures and drawings and other appropriate documents associated with the change. Procedures and drawings and changes thereto are processed, distributed and controlled. The station maintains a record of all holders of procedures and drawings and an index of all procedures and drawings, listing the current revision date. Instructions require that a copy of the appropriate procedure be available at the activity location prior to the commencement of that activity. These measures are addressed in the Technical Specifications and Administrative Procedures for each station. ,..
Administrative procedures list certain documents that require strict administrative control for distribution, revision, and routing. These documents are categorized as "Controlled Documents." Examples of controlled documents are: Station Procedures, Station Drawings, and the Precautions, Limitations, and Setpoint Document. Also set forth are the distribution and controlling procedures for design and procurement documents. Maintenance and modification inspection activities ensure that current procedures are used to accomplish work.
17 .2.7 Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services An evaluation of suppliers is performed prior to contract award, except in emergency situations where an item or service is needed to preclude development or deterioration of an unsafe" condition at the plant, by one or more of the following: (1) A review of the supplier's capability to comply with the elements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B that are applicable to the type of material, equipment, or service being procured, (2) A review or previous records and performances of suppliers who have provided similar articles of the type being procured, (3) A survey of the supplier's facilities and quality assurance program to determine his capability to supply a product or service which meets the design, manufacturing, and quality requirements, or (4) A review of qualification information supplied by another utility or outside organization.
Surveillance of suppliers during fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipment of materials, equipment, and components is planned and performed in accordance with written procedures to assure conformance to the purchase order requirements as applicable. These procedures provide for:
- a. Instructions that specify the characteristics or processes to be witnessed, inspected or verified; and accepted; the method of surveillance and the extent of documentation required; and those responsible for implementing these instructions. Surveillance shall be performed on those items where verification of procurement requirements cannot be determined on receipt.
- b. Audits and/or inspections which assure that the supplier complies with all quality requirements .
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-22 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR Administrative procedures describe the requirements for controlling purchased material, equipment, and services including commercial grade items for use on safety-related structures, systems, equipment, and components. The requirements applied to spare and replacement parts are at least equivalent to those applied to the original parts.
Inspections and surveillance of suppliers of nuclear safety-related items is performed under the direction of the Vice President - Nuclear Engineering and Services. The results of these actions are documented and filed. The periodic inspections assure that applicable material and equipment received at the station meet the requirements of the specifications, purchase orders, code, drawings, or other purchasing documents. This assurance includes the review of documentation received, physical inspection, cleanliness, packaging, marking or functional testing, as required. Purchased items are normally under the control of the "on-site" organization.
This organization is authorized to contact system organizations and NSSS, A/E contractors and subcontractors through the auspices of system representatives for assistance as required.
Verification of these activities is accomplished under the direction of the Manager Nuclear Oversight.
Periodic evaluations of procurement history of the suppliers are performed by Nuclear Oversight to verify continued supplier capability.
Documentation concerning the quality of material, components, and equipment received is reviewed by the Nuclear Engineering and Servfces representative for conformance with the
- Purchase Requisition and Purchase Order.
The procurement of nuclear fuel is controlled in accordance with procedures that have been developed by the Nuclear Engineering and Services Organization to address the requisite quality attributes of this function. Verification of this activity is performed under the supervision of the Director Nuclear Oversight.
17 .2.8 Identification and Control of Materials, Parts, and Components Installed components at the nuclear power station are adequately identified and substantiated with documented records by the Architect-Engineer and the NSSS Vendor during the construction phase of the station. These identifications and records are maintained in the station files.
Replacement materials, parts, and components including partially fabricated subassemblies are adequately and properly identified to allow control and traceability to pertinent quality assurance records such as drawings, specifications, purchase orders, manufacturing and inspection documents, deviation reports, and physical and chemical mill test reports. The identification system is consistent, as practical, with that used during the construction of the
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-25 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR
- Additionally, inspection activities pertaining to Design Control (Section 17.2.3);
Procurement Document Control (Section 17.2.4); Test Control (Section 17.2.11); Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components (Section 17 .2.15); and Corrective Action (Section 17 .2.16) shall be controlled in accordance with provisions established for this function in the referenced sections contained herein.
17.2.11 Test Control The test program desttibed in the Technical Specifications assures that safety-related structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily when required. Written "Periodic Test" procedures for this program are reviewed and approved as specified in the individual unit's Technical Specifications. These test procedures include or reference:
- 1. The requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design and procurement documents.
- 2. Test prerequisites such as the availability of adequate and appropriate equipment and calibrated instrumentation; trained, qualified, and licensed or certified personnel; the completeness of the item to be tested; suitable and controlled environmental conditions; provisions for data collection and storage.
- 3. Instructions for performing the test.
- 4. Inspection points as appropriate.
- 5. Acceptance and rejection criteria.
- 6. Methods of documenting or recording test data and results.
The Periodic Test Program provides for testing of instrumentation and electrical equipment in the categories of ( 1) instruments installed as listed in the Technical Specifications, (2) installed instrumentation used to verify Technical Specification parameters, and (3) installed safety-related instruments and electrical equipment that provide an active function during operation, shutdown, or abnormal conditions (i.e., vice being designated safety-related solely because the instrument is an integral part of a pressure retaining boundary). This instrumentation shall be in a calibration program. This program provides, by the use of equipment history data, status, records, and performance schedules, for the date that calibration is due and indicates the status of calibration.
The identity of person(s) performing calibration is provided on the calibration documents.
Testing of modifications is done in accordance with procedures developed within the Design Change Program described in Section 17 .2.3 of this report.
Testing upon completion of maintenance is done in accordance with Maintenance Procedures developed as described in Section 17 .2.5 of this report .
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-26 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR 17.2.12 Control of Measuring and Test Equipment A program has been established and documented in administrative procedures that describes the calibration technique and frequency, maintenance, and control of all "Measuring and Test Equipment" (portable instruments, tools, gauges, fixtures, reference and transfer standards, and non-destructive test equipment) which are used in the measurement, inspection, maintenance, and monitoring of safety-related components, systems, and structures. Measuring and test equipment does not includ~.: measuring equipment used for preliminary checks or utility troubleshooting where accuracy is not required. There is also no intention to imply a need for special calibration and control measures of rulers, tape measures, levels, and other basic tools if normal commercial practices provide adequate accuracy. Controls for measuring and test equipment include the transportation, storage, and protection of the equipment; the handling of associated documents giving the status of all items under the calibration systerri such as maintenance history, calibration test data, and individual log sheets assigned to each device; and the permanent marking of each device by a unique number.
The maintenance, calibration technique, and frequency of calibration of measuring and test equipment utilized in activities affecting quality at the power station are normally performed as specified in the manufacturer's instruction manual or in approved written procedures. In some cases the calibration interval may be assigned or changed based on accumulated experience by trained technicians. The recall system may includ~ provisions for the temporary extension of the calibration due date under certain conditions specified in approved procedures.
If standards are not available or there is some special reason that procedures cannot be followed, the modified procedures and/or interval are documented, including justification. In other cases, rather than require calibration at specified intervals, procedures may specify the device be calibrated prior to use, as in the case of torque wrenches or micrometers. Where permitted by commercially available state of the art equipment, reference standards are no more than 1/4 the error allowed in the measuring and test equipment calibrated by that standard.
Measuring and test equipment used on safety-related systems or equipment are calibrated utilizing reference standards whose calibration has a known valid relationship to nationally recognized standards, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), or accepted values of natural physical constants. If no national standard exists, the basis for calibration is documented. Whether the device is calibrated at the power station or at an NIST traceable outside laboratory, one or more stickers are affixed on a conspicuous surface identifying, but not limited to, date of calibration and next calibration due date.
When measuring and test equipment utilized in activities affecting quality are found to be out of calibration an evaluation will be performed and documented concerning the validity of previous tests and the acceptability of devices previously tested. All previous tests and measurements performed during the current or proceeding calibration cycle shall be redone if the evaluation so indicates.

- station, with similar identification used during design change activities. The location and method of identification do not affect the function or quality of the item being identified. Verification of correct identification of safety-related materials, parts, and components is required and documented prior to the release for fabrication, assembling, shipping, or installation.
Maintenance and modification inspection activities ensure, on a random basis, that materials, parts, and components utilized at the nuclear station are appropriately identified and controlled. ;:::
17.2.9 Control of Special Processes The control of special processes is maintained and implemented through the use of procedures, technique sheets, travelers and inspection verification reports, and personnel qualified in accordance with the applicable codes, specifications, and standards for the specific work. In instances where the Company assigns such work to contractors, the contractor must submit their procedures and personnel qualifications to the Company for approval prior to the start of work.
Special processes include, for example, those involving welding, heat treating, non-destructive testing, cadwelding, removal of undesirable substances during shop and site cleaning, degreasing and flushing, and verification of wall thickness of valves and other cast components important to nuclear safety.
- The Company conducts inspections of work involving special processes to assure that procedures and personnel are properly qualified and their workmanship is in compliance with applicable specifications, codes, and standards.
Records of procedures, equipment, and personnel qualification are maintained and kept "11 current in accordance with the provisions of Section 17 .2.17 herein. I 17.2.10 Inspection Inspection procedures for those activities affecting quality have been established. These procedures govern the inspection and documentation of activities relating to repairs, modifications, and changes made to safety-related systems, structures, and components. Written maintenance procedures are provided which include inspection hold points.
Examinations, measurements, or tests of materials or components associated with safety-related equipment and systems are performed for each work operation, where necessary, to assure quality. If inspection is impossible or inappropriate, indirect control by monitoring methods, equipment, and personnel is provided. Both methods are provided when control is inadequate without both .
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-24 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR The station maintenance procedures are reviewed under the cognizance of the Assistant Station Manager (Nuclear Safety and Licensing) or designee to determine the need for an independent inspection and the degree and method if such an inspection is required. Modification procedures are reviewed by the design authority to determine the need for an independent inspection consistent with administrative procedures and engineering specification requirements.
Examinations, measurements, or tests that require witnessing are identified as "inspection hold" points in procedures. The inspection performed at a hold point is specific in nature; quality characteristics and acceptante/rejection criteria are included or qualitative criteria such as operability checks, compliance with procedural steps, or cleanliness instructions are specified.
The inspection is documented by signature or initials on the written procedure form.
Maintenance and modification inspection personnel perform physical inspections at random intervals to ensure quality requirements are met. These checks are performed as the conditions of the maintenance warrant. These personnel and other inspectors are qualified in accordance with codes and standards as applicable to the function they are performing.
The inspection program requires that inspectors be assigned as appropriate for the activity being inspected. An inspector may be a member of the organization performing the activity.
However, they must be qualified and shall not be the person performing the activity or the supervisor directly responsible for the activity. Maintenance and modification inspection personnel are under the administrative direction_ of the Quality Inspection Coordinator when performing Quality Control inspections. Personnel so assigned shall become familiar with the procedure being used and other pertinent documents such as technical manuals and drawings prior to performing the inspection.
Personnel responsible solely for the conduct of non-destructive examination are qualified to SNT-TC-lA as referenced by Table IWA-1600-1 of the applicable Code. In addition, personnel who conduct inservice or preservice examinations meet the additional and/or alternative qualification requirements specified by IWA-2300 for the applicable examination method and qualification level. Maintenance and modification inspection personnel, Material Verification personnel, Fuel Accountability and Inspection personnel, and Vendor Surveillance personnel meet the qualification requirements of ANSI N45.2.6-1978, as clarified in Table 17.2.0 under NRC Regulatory Guide 1.58. The inspectors' qualifications are periodically reviewed for recertification.
Generally, all physical inspections are under the control of the on-site organization.
However, the Station Manager is authorized to request assistance as required from Corporate support organizations.
The inspection of nuclear fuel and related items is controlled in accordance with procedures that have been developed by Nuclear Engineering and Services to address the requisite quality attributes of this function.
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-27 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR
- Implementation of the measuring and test equipment programs is assured through Nuclear Oversight audits and through inspections by the appropriate line organizations during performance of work.
17.2.13 Handling, Storage, and Shipping Measures have been established in administrative procedures to provide adequate methods by qualified personnel for the,_classification, packaging, cleaning, preservation, shipping, storage, and handling of material and'equipment received at the station.
These measures, prepared in accordance with design and specification requirements, define responsibility, levels of essentiality, degree of receipt inspection, tagging, categories of inspection and their definition, and storage levels for categorized items.
The procedures also control cleaning, handling, storage, packaging, shipping, and preservation of materials, components, and systems to preclude damage, loss, or deterioration by environmental conditions such as temperature or humidity. Implementation of these measures is verified through inspections by Materials Verification and Vendor Surveillance inspectors':'
17.2.14 Inspection, Test, and Operating Status Measures for the identification and documentation of the inspection and test status for items
- to prevent inadvertent bypassing of specified inspections and tests are established in.
administrative procedures and in station operating procedures. These measures define the three general categories of inspection and test status for items: Accept, Reject, or Hold. They provide for status identification through the use of stickers, tags, record cards, test records, check-off lists, or logs. The operating status of items and/or equipment is identified through records, checklists, or operational tagging systems that are maintained to indicate the status and authority to opera~e the item and/or equipment. Operating status is additionally controlled through the normal station operating procedures. The application and removal of the various status tags, stickers, and other indicators is controlled by Station Procedures.
17.2.15 Non-conforming Materials, Parts, and Components A documented system for controlling non-conformances observed during receipt inspection, storage, fabrication and erection, installation, initial and/or acceptance testing, or initial operation is established and provides for the preparation, issuing, and distribution of Deviation Reports and Discrepant Shipment Reports in accordance with prescribed procedures.
These procedures apply to new or reworked materials, parts, or components which possess manufacturer/supplier caused non-conformances .
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-28 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR The identification, documentation, segregation, review, disposition, and notification to affected organizations of non-conforming material, parts, or components are described or referenced in station Technical Specifications, Administrative procedures, and/or station operating procedures. Non-conformance of purchased services are controlled under Section 17.2.7 Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services; Section 17.2.10 Inspection; and administrative procedures.
Specifically, instructions require that the individual discovering a non-conformance identifies, describes, and documents the non-conformance on a Deviation Report or a Discrepant Shipment Report in accordance with administrative procedures.
When a non-conforming item is identified, it is placed in the hold area established in the storeroom or other segregated location, if practical, and identified with a hold tag to prevent its inadvertent use. If material is dispositioned as "reject" the hold tag shall remain attached to the material/component until loaded for departure from site and shall only be removed in accordance with approved procedures by authorized personnel at that time.
Hold items may be released on a risk basis following the documented approval of such risk release by the Station Manager on a Release on a Risk Basis Form. Each risk release is handled on a case basis and depends on the nature of the hold status. The basis and conditions of the release are described on the form, including the criteria for clearing the original hold status. Rejected material is not risk released.
A Deviation Report or a Discrepant Shipment Report for a non-conforming material, part, or component dispositioned "accept as is" requires an engineering analysis and approval. The results of this review and approval are documented and become a part of station records.
Should the disposition of a non-conformance require the rework or repair of materials, parts, components, systems, or structures, such rework or repair is reinspected or retested by a method which is at least equal to the original inspection or test method. The inspection requirements and the inspection, rework, or repair procedures are documented and become a part of station records.
The disposition and approval of non-conformances are the responsibility of the on-site organization. However, the Station Manager has the authority to request assistance as appropriate from Corporate support organizations or from Nuclear Oversight.
The Station Deviation Reports trends are periodically reviewed for conditions adverse to quality by station management.
In service failures of materials, parts, and components are dispositioned by the use of Deviation Reports and/or Work Orders as described in Section 17.2.16 of this report.
Implementation and verification of the procedures for the control of non-conformances are assured through audits and inspections.
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-29 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR
- Non-conformances found at a vendor's facility during surveillances are controlled by procedures administered by Nuclear Engineering and Services.
The non-conformances observed during the inspection of nuclear fuel and related items and the disposition of. those non-conformances is controlled in accordance with procedures that have been developed by Nuclear Engineering and Services to address the requisite quality attributes of this function.
17.2.16 Corrective Action Corrective action measures are established as an integral part of the processing and resolving of non-conformances and failures in service. Through these measures, assurance is confirmed that significant adverse quality conditions are identified, documented, their cause determined, and the corrective actions have been taken that preclude repetition of the adverse quality conditions. Verification of the proper implementation of corrective action measures and close-out of corrective action documentation is assured through the monitoring effort of the station staff and the audits conducted by Nuclear Oversight. Adverse conditions significant to quality, the cause of the conditions, and the initiation of corrective action are reported to appropriate levels of both offsite and onsite management by use of Deviation Reports and audit findings. If further corrective action is required the appropriate management program for *.,.
performing, tracking and closing the issue will be used .
Nuclear Engineering and Services maintains a program to evaluate complex design concerns that may lead to adverse quality conditions at the nuclear stations. The Potential Problem Reporting (PPR) system allows for detailed, multidiscipline reviews of compl~_x design concerns that may yield station deviation reports. Many design concerns cannot be dete~ned to be adverse to quality until a detailed design review is performed. The PPR process controls this activity as part of the Nuclear Design Control Program.
The procedures for processing a Deviation Report require that each adverse condition significant to quality be categorized as either requiring a Licensee Event Report, Special Report or NRC Notification or as a non-reportable deviation. Non-reportable deviation refers to deviations not reportable to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The reporting requirements differ for each of the categories of deviation but require the appropriate levels of management be notified in each case.
Procedures require that corrective maintenance of nuclear safety-related material, parts, or components be documented on a Work Order. Maintenance and modification inspection personnel are notified prior to the commencement of safety-related maintenance. Maintenance and modification inspection personnel may then initiate a surveillance program as necessary.
Examples of areas subject to surveillance are ( 1) the use of approved maintenance procedures, (2)
- the existence of Radiation Work Permits and proper tagout, if applicable, (3) the existence of required plant conditions, and (4) documentation of Technical Specification requirements. If the maintenance and modification inspection personnel elect to inspect the work, the surveillance
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-30 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR does not have to be performed prior to commencement of work. Also, Nuclear Oversight audits completed Work Orders to assure maintenance performed was properly documented, maintenance procedures were properly signed off and check lists were completed if applicable, Technical Specification limits were met if applicable, materials used were documented, and Work Orders were being adequately reviewed by appropriate supervisory personnel.
Station Technical Specifications require that rework or repair of nuclear safety-related materials, parts, componen~~. systems, and structures be accomplished in accordance with approved written procequres. The procedures for rework or repair of safety-related equipment are approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee to ensure provisions for an adequate inspection of the completed rework or repair. The cognizant supervisor reviews the completed procedures to insure the acceptance criteria have been satisfied and for the completeness of the post-maintenance check-out.
The Quality Inspection Coordinator determines the scope of the required inspection effort on the basis of the extent of modifications or repair to safety-related equipment, systems, or components. For some repairs and modification activities, pre-job briefings held by station personnel in accordance with applicable administrative procedures may be attended by maintenance and modification inspection personnel at the discretion of the Quality Inspection Coordinator. For major evolutions, such as refueling, steam generator modifications, etc.,
inspection activities will be planned and coordinated as directed by the Quality Inspection Coordinator.
17.2.16.1 Authority to Stop Work Nuclear Oversight and the Quality Inspection Coordinator have the authority, and the responsibility, to stop work in progress which is not being done in accordance with approved procedures or where safety or equipment integrity may be jeopardized. This extends to off-site work performed by vendors furnishing safety-related materials and services to the Company.
17 .2.16.2 Imposition of "Stop Work" A. Nuclear Oversight and the Quality Inspection Coordinator -The Nuclear Oversight representative or maintenance or modification inspector advises the cognizant supervisor or supervisory personnel to stop work in progress whenever he determines that it is not being conducted in accordance with applicable procedures, instructions, guides, or standards or may jeopardize the safe operation of the station. Nuclear Oversight representatives inform the Director Nuclear Oversight of the stop work order. The maintenance or modification inspector informs the Quality Inspection Coordinator and the Director Nuclear Oversight of the decision to stop work. The Director Nuclear Oversight or the Quality Inspection Coordinator then notifies the Station Manager of the decision to stop work because of adverse quality conditions. He shall also notify the Manager Nuclear Oversight.
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR
- B. Station Manager -The Station Manager evaluates the determination to stop work .
- 1. If he concurs with the decision to stop work, he initiates the necessary corrective action. Only after the discrepancy has been corrected and the corrective action approved by the initiating organization does work resume.
- 2. In the event the Station Manager does not concur with the decision to stop work, he may order wor~ to resume by notifying the Director Nuclear Oversight (who shall
. notify the Maiiager Nuclear Oversight) and the appropriate station supervisory personnel in his organization of his decision. He shall also refer the issue to the Vice President - Nuclear Operations for review and approval.
C. Vice President - Nuclear Operations -The Vice President - Nuclear Operations is responsible for approving or disapproving the Station Manager's decision in those cases where the Station Manager does not concur with the stop work and orders work to resume.
D. Manager Nuclear Oversight -The Manager Nuclear Oversight may refer any concerns he may have concerning the handling of "stop work" to the Vice President -
Nuclear Operations. He may direct imposition of "stop work" whenever he deems such action to be appropriate .
- E. Imposition of offsite "stop work" performed by vendors shall be controlled by appropriate administrative procedures.
17.2.17 Quality Assurance Records The requirements and responsibilities for quality assurance records transmittal, retention, and maintenance subsequent to completion of work at the power station have been established and are documented in administrative procedures.
Quality Assurance records relating to the operating status of the station and documentary evidence of the quality of items and activities affecting quality include plant history; operating logs; principal maintenance and modification activities; Licensee Event Reports; results of reviews, inspections, inservice inspections, tests, audits, and material analyses; monitoring of work performance, qualification of personnel, procedures, and equipment; and other documentation such as drawings, specifications, procurement documents, calibration procedures and reports, deviation reports, and corrective action requests. These records are maintained in accordance with the NRC regulations, commitments to ANSI N45.2.9-1974 (refer to Table 17 .2.0, section for NRC Regulatory Guide 1.88), administrative procedures, and specific requirements for those Quality Assurance records stored on optical disks.
- The following requirements apply to all Quality Assurance records which are stored on optical disks.
Revision 33-3/31/98 NAPS UFSAR 17.2-32 Revision 29-3/31/98 SPS UFSAR Quality Assurance records will only be stored on optical disks meeting the requirements of WORM (Write Once-Read Many) technology. Quality Assurance records originally created in hard-copy form will be retained in hard-copy until such time as images of these Quality Assurance records are created, copied, and verified as legible on two (2) WORM optical disks.
File legibility verifications will be completed on all Quality Assurance records stored on optical disks by either visually verifying the file legibility or by electronically verifying exact file transfer.
Biennial visual inspections will be conducted to ensure that there is no degradation of image quality. Quality Assurance 'records originally created in electronic form will be retained in electronic form, backup copies of associated electronic Quality Assurance records will be maintained in multiple electronic locations until such time as images of these Quality Assurance records are created, copied, and verified as legible on two (2) WORM optical disks. The time period between generation of the electronic Quality Assurance record and satisfactory image file creation, administrative and technical review, copying to two optical disks, and verification of file legibility or exact file transfer will not exceed seven (7) days. Authorization to exceed this seven day requirement must be obtained in writing from the Manager - Nuclear Information Technology and the Supervisor - Records Management. These requirements meet the intent of Generic Letter 88-18, Plant Record Storage on Optical Disks, dated October 20, 1988.
Identification and retrievability of Quality Assurance records is facilitated through proper indices and an established basic filing system. Record storage facilities are constructed, located, and secured to prevent the destruction of records by fire, flooding, theft, and deterioration through environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
17.2.18 Audits The system of audits devised to verify compliance with quality-related aspects of the power station is described in the station Technical Specifications. Internal audits of selected aspects of operational phase activities are performed with a frequency commensurate with safety significance and in a manner which assures that biennial (2 years) audits of safety-related activities are completed. The audits are regularly scheduled on a formal preplanned audit schedule. The audit system is reviewed periodically and revised as necessary to assure coverage commensurate with current and planned activities. Additional audits may be performed as deemed necessary by management. The scope of the audit is determined by the quality status and safety importance of the activities being performed. These audits are conducted by trained personnel not having direct responsibilities in the area being audited and in accordance with preplanned and approved audit plans or checklists.
Nuclear Oversight is delegated the responsibility for conducting periodic internal and external audits. Internal audits are conducted to determine the adequacy of the station's programs and procedures, that they are meaningful, and comply with the overall Quality Assurance Program. External audits determine the adequacy of vendor and contractor 10 CFR 50, Appendix B QA Programs. An audit includes an objective evaluation of quality-related practices, procedures, and instructions; the effectiveness of implementation; and the conformance with
- policy and directives. An audit also includes the evaluation of work area, activities, processes, and items and the review of documents and records. Provisions are established requiring that audits be performed in those areas where the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 are being implemented. These areas include as a minimum, but are not limited to, those activities associated with operation, maintenance, modification, and repair controls; the preparation, review, approval, and control of design changes, procurement documents, instructions, procedures, and drawings; receiving and plant inspectio~s; indoctrination and training programs; the implementation of the operating and test procedures"; and the remaining criteria in Appendix B to 10 CFR 50.
The results of each audit are reported in writing to the distribution delineated in accordance with station Technical Specifications. Additional internal distribution is made to other concerned management levels in accordance with approved procedures.
Management responds to all audits and initiates corrective action where indicated. Where corrective action measures are indicated, documented follow-up of applicable areas through inspections, review, re-audits, or other appropriate means is conducted to verify implementation of assigned corrective action.
If the Manager Nuclear Oversight determines the response to an internal audit finding is unacceptable or if a finding response is not received in the time allotted or if corrective action for a finding is not accomplished as indicated on the response, the matter is brought to the attention of the Station Manager or appropriate Corporate Manager for resolution. If the Manager Nuclear Oversight does not agree with the resolution proposed, he notifies appropriate levels of management in accordance with established escalation procedures. The escalation of external audit issues identified by Nuclear Oversight is controlled by administrative procedures.
The responsibility for analyzing audit reports for trends and effectiveness lies with the Manager Nuclear Oversight. As trends are discovered or if the effectiveness of the program is in question, the analysis of the Manager Nuclear Oversight is forwarded to the management level consistent with the seriousness of the problem.

For the auditing organization (The Company), effectiveness is reported as required by the individual nuclear facility Technical Specifications. Other than audit reports, the Company may not directly report on the effectiveness of the quality assurance programs to the audited organization when such organizations are outside of the Company.
Subsection 3.3.6 requirements are considered to be fulfilled by compliance with the organization and reporting measures outlined in the Operational QA Program and the Technical Specifications of the individual nuclear facility.
Subsection 3.3.7 requires verification of effective corrective action on a "timely basis."
Timely basis is interpreted to mean within the framework or period of time for completion of corrective action that is accepted by Nuclear Oversight. Each finding requires a response and a corrective action completion date; these dates are subject to revision (with the approval of Nuclear Oversight) and must be escalated to higher authority when there is disagreement between the audited and the auditing organization on what constitutes "timely corrective ......

In other cases, persons who should be present at a pre-audit conference may not always be available. Such lack of availability should not be an impediment to beginning an audit.
