~
10.1 SCOPE A quality assurance program shall be provided to assure compliance with requirements of 10CFR70.22(f) for the plutonium processing facility. This program shall be applicable to the
- design, fabrication, procurement, construction,
- testing, operation, and decommissioning of designated structures, systems, and components of the plutonium processing facility which prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
The specific facility covered by this plan is the plutonium processing laboratory located in the Building 102 basement and the exhaust ventilation system associated with that facility.
10.2 ORGANIZATION The quality assurance component is defined as that compo'nent of the Nuclear Energy Operations with designated responsibility to generate and ensure implementation of the quality assurance program (see Section 4.3).
10.2.1 Functions. The functions of the quality assurance component shall exclude direct responsibility for operations involving plutonium processing.
The quality assurance component shall be responsible for generating the quality assurance program, providing advice on quality assurance, testing, and inspection to operating management, and performing necessary audits to ensure implementation of the quality assurance program.
10.2.2 The minimum qualifications of personnel assigned functional responsibilities in the quality assurance component shall be:
1.
Manager. B.S. degree or equivalent qualifications plus five years experience in managerial or project type assignments involving a combination of such fields as engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
2.
Insoection Suoervisor.
B.S. degree plus three years experience in quality control or five years experience in quality control.
10.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM The program shall describe the means for controlling activities affecting the quality of safety related ;tructures, systems and components of the plutonium processing facility.
The program shall be implemented on a graded approach and provides control over activities affecting quality to an extent consistent with their importance to safety.
The program shall provide for indoctrination and training of personnel performing activities affecting quality in order to provide assurance that appropriate proficiency is achieved and maintained.
New - or modifications to existing - safety related structures, systems, and components subject to the quality assurance program are identified as:
1.
The structure which houses the plutonium processing facility (specifically the walls, ceiling, and floor of the basement plutonium processing laboratory).

4 2.
The exhaust ventilation system associated with the facility.
3.
The HEPA filters and associated connecting lines between the components of the ventilation exhaust system for the f acility.
The program shallinclude provisions for: design control; control of procurement and other documents; control of purchased materials, equipment, and services including supplier qualification requirements; the identification, inventory, and traceability of raw materials, in-process materials, and finished components; and audits and inspections.
10.I+ PROCEDURES Organizations performing quality related activities within the scope of the quality assurance program are responsible for establishment and maintenance of documented and approved systems and procedures for the performance of that work.
Changes in procedures shall be approved by the same function that authorized their issuance and use unless otherwise specified within the document or by governing standard operating procedures.
10.5 INSPECTION, TEST, OPERATING STATUS, AND CALIBRATION The inspection, test, and operating status shall be indicated by the use of markings such as stamps, tags, labels, routing cards, or other suitable means. The method utilized shall be in accordance with written procedures.
Each organization component or supplier responsible for measuring quality parameters shall be responsible for the inventory, identification, and calibration of all measuring and test equipment used for such inspections.
Measuring and test equipment shall be calibrated traceable to nationally recognized standards. If no national standards exist, the basis for calibration shall be documented. Only equipment which has been calibrated within the prescribed interval shall be used. Records shall be maintained or equipment suitably marked to indicate calibration status.
10.6 INSPECTION AND TESTING Inspection shall be performed for each work operation where it is necessary to assure quality and shall be performed to written plans or procedures. In pection and approval points shall be identified as appropriate throughout design, fabrication, special processing and assembly. Inspection plans shall be incorporated into the detail planning documents of the performing components.
Tests shall be conducted in accordance with written procedures. Test results shall be documented and evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied.
NiWication, repair, or replacement of items performed subsequent to final.e,pection shall require reinspection or testing as appropriate for reacceptance.
ine quality assurance component shall audit the inspection and testing system, as necessary to assure compliance with the appropriate procedures.
10.7 DESIGN CONTROL Design reviews, alternate calculations, or prototype qualification tests shall be required for all new designs or for significant changes to existing designs. Reviewers shall have no direct responsibility for the initial design.

10.3 DOCUMENT CONTROL Each organization performing work within the scope of the quality assurance program shall establish a document control system to assure proper review, approval, distribution, and control of documents and their revisions.
Procurement documents shall be reviewed and approved by the quality assurance component prior to submittal to the purchasing component.
10.9 CONTROL OF PURCHASED MATERIAL Upon receipt of purchased material receiving inspection shall be performed for conformance to the requirements of the procurement documents.
Storage areas shall be provided that provide adequate protection for materials and equipment. Materials shall be handled and stored in accordance with procedures arid /or instructions established to prevent loss or damage.
Items found to deviate from soecifications shall be identified, segregated (where practical), and described in a deviation /nonconformance report. Disposition of such items shall be documented.
10.10 CONTROL OF SPECIAL PROCESSES Special processes shall be accomplished under controlled conditions in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or other engineering criteria using appropriately qualified personnel and procedures.
10.11 CORRECTIVE ACTION Corrective actions shall be identified, documented, and implemented in a manner appropriate to the cause and importance of the deficient condition. Necessary followup on committed corrective action shall be performed and documented.
10.12 AUDITS The quality assurance component shall conduct audits in accordance with established procedures and/or checklists to verify compliance with the various elements of this quality assurance program. Audits shall be conduc*ed commensurate with the importance to safety or work history of the item or activity.
