17.2-66 June, 1986
17.2.3 DESIGN CONTROL NOD Standards describe the design control program.
Measures are I
established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the nuclear power station design bases are correctly translated into the Company specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions applicable to design changes and/or modifications for the operating nuclear power station.
All design changes and/or modifications to safety related structures, equipment, systems and components described in the UFSAR are reviewed, approved, and acted upon by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee in accordance with their responsibilities and functions as referenced in the Technical Specifications.
Design changes to these structures, equipment, systems and components approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee are forwarded to the Safety Evaluation and Control Staff for an independent review.
This review may be performed by Safety Evaluation and Control Staff personnel, the staff of other company departments, qualified outside contractors, or consultants.
The responsibility for the development, identification of requirements, monitoring, and implementation of an effective design control program within the station organization is delegated to the Station Manager with input as appropriate from operations personnel.
The Nuclear Design Control Manual (NDCM), delineates procedures that assure design changes, including field changes, are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and the applicable specified design requirements.
These procedures assure that design basis, regulatory requirements, codes and standards are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, or instructions for those structures, systems and components classified as safety related in the UFSAR.
The NDCM provides for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a
suitable testing program.
When a testing program is solely used to test the adequacy of a design, the test will be conducted under adverse design conditions.
The provisions of this section assure that the verifying or checking process is performed by individuals other than those who performed the original design.
These individuals are identified and their authority and responsibility is described.
The NDCM also identifies the design documents that are required to be reviewed and the personnel responsible for their review and revisions, to assure that design characteristics can be controlled, inspected and tested, and that inspection and test criteria are identified.
Design change documents and revisions thereto are distributed to responsible supervisors to determine whether revisions to controlled design and operating documents are necessary.
Design documents and reviews, records and changes thereto are collected, stored and maintained in a systematic and controlled manner.
The NDCM establishes measures for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the systems, structures and components.
These measures include the use of valid and applicable industry standards and specifications, materials and prototype hardware testing
- programs, and design reviews.
In the event of a design modification to a system which is safety related, engineering studies 17.2-68 June, 1986 I
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, the Design Control Engineer, Engineering Supervisor, Director-Safety Evaluation and Control 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 N45.2.11 1974 as modified in Table 17.2.0.
The NDCP 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 in-service 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 station procedures and to meet the requirements, where applicable, of 10 CFR 50.59.
17.2-69 June, 1986
e e
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 disadvantageous, indirect control by monitoring methods, equipment, and personnel is provided.
Both methods are provided when control is inadequate without both.
The station safety related maintenance procedures (including modification procedures) are reviewed to determine the need for an independent inspection and the degree and method if such an inspection is required.
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 acceptance/rejection criteria are included or qualitative criteria such as operability
- checks, compliance with procedural step or cleanliness instructions are specified, and the inspection is documented by signature or initials on the written procedure form.
The power station Quality Assurance Department performs physical inspections, at random spot 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, but must be a qualified individual other than the person performing the activity or the supervisor directly responsible for the activity.
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 nondestructive examination are qualified to SNT-TC-lA, 1980 Edition, except as amended by lWA-2300.
Audits and reviews of their findings and associated corrective actions are periodically conducted by quality assurance personnel to assure that these procedures are being carried out in a quality manner.
The inspectors qualifications are periodically reviewed for recertification.
- 17. 2-77 June, 1986
17.2.15 NONCONFORMING MATERIALS, PARTS AND COMPONENTS A documented system for controlling nonconformances 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 Nonconformance Reports in accordance with prescribed procedures.
These procedures apply to all new or reworked materials, parts, or components which possess manufacturer/supplier caused nonconformances that are identified prior to the materials, parts or components being accepted and placed in service.
They do not apply to failure in service.
The identification, documentation, segregation, review, disposition and notification to affected organizations of nonconforming material, parts or components, are described or referenced in station Technical Specifications, station administrative procedures, and/or station operating procedures.
Nonconformance of purchased services are controlled under Section 17.2.7 Control of Purchased Material, Equipment and Services, Section 17.2.10 Inspection, and station administrative procedures.
Specifically, instructions require that the individual discovering a
nonconformance identifies, describes and documents the nonconformance on a Nonconformance Report.
This report is further distributed to the Station Manager/designee.
The Station Manager/designee assigns corrective action to be taken or disposition to be made of the nonconformance including the assignment of the individual or group responsible.
This procedure requires the corrective action or disposition of the nonconformance to be documented on the Nonconformance Report and signed by the person completing the corrective action or disposition.
When a nonconforming 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.
Items considered totally rejectable are identified by a
Reject tag and disposed of as determined by the Station Manager.
"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 Nonconformance Report 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 nonconformance 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.
17.2-83 June, 1986
e 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 station 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 are maintained in accordance with the Technical Specifications and station administrative procedures.
These records include plant history; operating logs; principal maintenance and modification activities; Licensee Event Reports; results of reviews, inspections, tests, audits and material analysis; monitoring of work performance, qualification of personnel, procedures and equipment; and other documentation such as drawings, specifications, procurement documents, calibration procedures and reports, nonconformance reports and corrective action reports.
Identification and retrievability of these 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 temp~!ature and humidity.
