13.1 INTRODUCTION
A quality assurance progr'am is provided by General Electric Company, Vallecitos Nuclear Cer.ter (VNC) to assure compliance with requirements of 10CFR70.22(f) for the plutonium processing facility. This program is applicable to the design, fabrication, construction, testing and operation of designated structures, systems, and components of the Advanced Fuels Laboratory (AFL) which prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
The physical facility covered by this plan is that designated as the AFL Fuels Laboratory in Addendum C of this application and its associated ventilation exhaust equipment.
13.2 DISCUSSION The plutonium processing facility at the VNC has been in operat on fer over 16 years.
i There are no present plans to build new structures for plutonium processing.
This program, therefore, is limited to the operation and/or signi'icant modification of the existing facility.
The plutonium processing facility is operated primar!1y for the purpose of conducting laboratory scale research and development program activities for the Department of Energy (doe).
Determination of the safety related structures, systems, and components and the activities affecting safety is influenced by the effects of natural phenomena on the facility. A preliminary seismic evaluation by the Commission indicates that the plutonium processing facility is well within the limits for plutonium release as established by the NRC. Primary protection to the public health and safety is provided by the structural containment in conjunction with the exhaust ventilation system.
Modifications to the existing facility are implemented by the Change Authorization procedure (see Section 2.10).
This establishes review and aporoval of any addition, alteration, deletion, modification, or substitution which results i" a different position, course or directiva not previously analyzed, or adds a new capabiaty, performs a different function, modifies a performance characteristic, or introduces a hazard not previously analyzed for facilities, equipment, testing or operation.
The Change Authorization procedure is also applicable to structures, systems and components whether er not they are classified as items which prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulat'ed accidents that could cause undue risk to the nealth and safety of the public.
Additional safety and quality assurance type activities are provided in support of this Quality Assurance prograr. Tht. 2 activities includet 1.
Safety and quality audits conducted by the Product and Quality Assurance Operation of the Nuclear Energy Business Group of General Electric.

13.3 ORGANIZATION The Advanced Fuels Laboratory (AFL) located at the Vallecitos Nuclear Center (VNC) is an operational component of the Advanced Reactor Systems Department (ARSD).
Physical and chemical processing of plutonium is conducted in the AFL Fuels I.aboratory.
An organization chart for VNC is shown in Figure 2.1 of this application.
13.3.1 Delegation of Responsibility The Manager, Nuclear Energy Business Group and the Manager, ARSD, have delegated to the Manager, Irradiation Processing Operation (IPO) over-all responsibility for safety of the VNC site. Nuclear Safety and Quality Assurance (N'i.e.
\\ a component of 'PO, is chartered with the responsibility to ensure impamentation of.ais QA program. i. JcQA is organizationally independent of the AFL and has the responsibt'ity and authority to identify quality problems; to initiate, recommend, cc provide solvions: and to verify implementation of solutions. An organization cb2t for NS&QA is shes ; in Figur-2.2 of this application.
In addition, a Quality Assurance Engineer is.tssigned to the AFL by the Manager, Technology and Projects Product Assurance. % K'.
The QA Engineer is organizationally independent of AFL operations and has the. authuity and responsibility to approve AFL Policy and Operations Instructions (pol's) and to perform surveillance activities for compliance with quality requirements in support rf the VNC Quality Assurance program.
13.3.2 Service Organizations Other organizations at VNC which provide services in support of the AFL include Purchasing, Shipping and Receiving, Facilities and Draf ting. These organizations and the services provided are governed by this QA program.

13.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM A quality assurance program is maintained to meet the requirements of 10CFR70.27(f) for the plutonium processing facility. The plan describes the means for controlling activities affecting the quality of safety related structures, systems and components of the AFL Fuels Laboratory. The program is implemented on a graded approach and provides control over activities affecting quality to an extent consistent with their importance to safety.
The program provides for indoctrination and training of personnel performing activities affecting quality in order to provide assurance that appt opriate proficiency is achieved and maintained.
This indoctrination and training is carried out through documented procedures, personnel contacts and meetings.
New - and modification to existing - safety related structures, systems, and components to be covered by this quality assurance program (see Addendum C) are identified as:
1.
The structure which houses the plutonium processing facility (speci'ically, the walls, ceiling, and floor of the AFL Fuels Laboratory).
2.
The ventilation exhaust system associated with the plutonium processing facility.
3.
The HEPA filters and associated connecting lines between the components of the ventilation exhaust system for the AFL Fuels Laboratory.
The quality assurance program is limitad to the above components as the structure which houses the facility and the associated exhsust ventilation system and filters are considered to be the primary barriers. The laboratory facility is located wholly within the basement of Building 102. Fai!ure of any wall or ceiling would, at worst, permit a pathway for material release into Building 102. Mcwever, as Building 102 is maintained at a pressure negative to the atmosphere, there is no pathway to the environment. Similarly, the ventilation exhaust system serving the laboratory area acts as a primary barrier. This exhaust system joins the Building 102 ventilation exhaust system af ter leaving the laboratory. Failure of the laboratory exhaust system could not result in a dicect pathway for release of material to the environment as failure of the filters would only provide a pathway for material to the Building 102 exhaust whose filters would prevent material from reaching the environment.
This plan is not considered to apply to the emergency power system for Building 102. In the event of failure of the building exhaust fans and the emergency power supply, the v, alls, doors, and ceiling of the labcratory and the walls and roof of Building 102 would provide two barrices between any material and the environment.
The automatic fire supression sprinkler system was also not included in this program. This system was installed primarily to satisfy insurance requirements. Since all laboratory walls and ceilings are poured cuncrete or concrete block, there is no danger of a fire in the laboratory breaching the walls or ceiling.
