O DUKE POWER COMPANY OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION OPERATIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM Supplementary Information At the present time, a corporate structured quality assurance program is being instituted within Duke Power Company.
The operational quality as-surance program for Oconee Nuclear Station is being revised to reflect this corporate quality assurance organization and full implementation should occur no later than January 1, 1974.
The description of the Oconee Nuclear Station operational quality assurance program, as transmitted by Mr. A. C. Thies' letter of April 27, 1973, to Mr. R. C. DeYeung, is accurate for the program 1
which presently exists.
However, when the Oconec program is fully revised to reflect the corporate quality assurance organization, Item I of the above-mentioned description should be revised to read as follows:
I.
ORGANIZATION I
The organizational structure for Oconee Nuclear Station operational quality assurance is shown diagrammatically in Figures 1, 2, and 3.
The Executive Vice President and General Manager has overall responsi-bility for planning, design, construction and operation of Duke Power Company's generation and transmission facilities.
Reporting to the Executive Vice President and General Manager are the Senior Vice Presi-dent, Production and Trancmission, who is responsible for directing the operation of the company's generation and transmission facilities, and the Senior Vice President, Engineering and Construction, who is re-sponsible for directing the design and construction of the company's generation and transmission facilities.
The Executive Vice President and General Manager has established a Corporate Quality Assurance Manager, reporting to the Senior Vice President, Engineering and Con-struction, to have functional responsibility for the company's quality assurance program.
The executive Vice President and General Manager have also appointed a Nuclear Safety Review Committee to serve as an independent nuclear safety review and audit backup to the normal operating organization.
I Operational quality assurance for Oconee Nuclear Station is the direct line responsibility of the Steam Production Department, directed bylthe Assistant Vice President, Steam Production. Within the Steam Production Department, the operational quality assurance program is directed and administered by the Manager, Quality Assurance, Steam Production.
The Manager, Quality Assurance, Steam Production, reports functionally to the Corporate Quality Assurance Manager and administratively to the Assistant Vice President, Steam Production through the Manager, Operations and Maintenance and the Manager, Steam Production.
The Manager, Quality y
Assurance, Steam Production, is assisted by the Steam Production Quality Assurance Staff.

The Station Superinten, dent has the responsibility for directing station operation and administration, and reports to the Assistant Vice Presi-dent, Steam Production through the Ms,ager, Steam Production.
The Station Superintendent is assisted by the general station staff and the Station Review Connittee.
The Corporate Qualirr Assurance Managet has the final responsibility for assuring that the station complies with all applicable requirements of the operational quality assurance program. He is assisted by the Manager, Quality Assurance, Steam Production, whc.in turn is assisted by the Oconce Nucler-Station Quality Assurance Engineer.
The Oconee Nuclear Station Quaits Assurance Engineer has a staff to assist him, and reports functionally to the Manager, Quality Assurance, Steam Production, and administrative 1y to the Station Superintendent.
The responsibilities of the various individuals and organizations con-cerned with Oconce Nuclear Station operational quality assurance are clearly delineated in written charters, in the station's Technical Specifications and in the Steam Production Department " Administrative Policy Manual for Operational Quality Assurance of Nuc1 car Stations."
Each of these individuals and organizations has the authority necessary to adequately discharge their responsibilities.
Those indivieluals and organizations which are responsible for checking, auditing, 1aspecting or otherwise verifying that an activity has been correctly performed are independent of the individual or organization directly responsible for performing the specific activity.
