FROM:
Charles D. Frizzle, President j
THE OUALITY MISSION The designers, builders, owners and employees of Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company have been committed to high standards of engineering and operational quality from the beginning. During the ensuing years we have installed substantial plant modifications, conducted special operational performance tests and dramatically expanded personnel training programs and staffing to insure continued improvements in plant reliability and safety.
Today Maine Yankee is recognized by regulators and public alike as a leader in the industry with 17 years of superior performance and proven dedication to the principles of continuous quality inprovement.
Uncompromising dedication to continuous quality improvement must continue and be vigorously pursued by every member of our organization if we are to maintain the public confidence that is necessary for continued success. Among other things, uncompromising dedication to i
quality improvement requires:
Not only full understanding and compliance with requirements but
- t. willingness to continually question, upgrade and improve the requirements.
Thorough understanding of-our job functions and an understanding of why each job is important.
s Producing, expecting and accepting nothing but the highest standards of performance. Making sure that the right things are done correctly the first time.
Identification, repair or reporting of any equipment, process or material in the plant that is nonconforming, deficient or otherwise not up to an acceptably high level.of performance.
f i
L
O
-2 The Operational Quality Assurance Program (00AP) is the basis for the processes and controls we need to achieve a high level of quality and safety in plant operation. Achievement and verification of quality are line management functions which are prescribed by the OQAP and its implementing procedures.
The 00AP has provided for the Quality Programs Department to be the principle coordinator and consultant for quality i
verification activities.
I challenge every employee to actively cooperate and support our fundamental quality objectives of continuous improvement, safe operation and high public confidence. You are the key to successful pursuit of excellence in all Maine Yankee activities.

the reactor and maintain a safe shutdown condition or the C
capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an accident.
[
Manager, Plant Engineering is responsible for establishing and
[
maintaining documentation which designates the safety classification
[
of plant systems.
The program takes into account the need for special controls, processes, environmental conditions, equipment, tools and skills to attain the required quality and the need for verification of quality by inspections, evaluations or tests.
B.
RESPONSIBILITIES Compliance with the requirements of the Operational Quality Assurance Program is the responsibility of all personnel involved-l with activities affecting operational safety.
Individuals responsitsle for establishing and executing the Operational Quality Assurance Program are delineated in Section I, " Organization", and Appendix 8 of this Program. The Quality Programs Department shall i

SECTION II NOTES:
1.
For those electrical and lastrumentation systems designated above, Quality Assurance electrical and instrumentation program requirements are applicable only to those portions of systems.
defined in Section IV as necessary to perform the system safety function; 2.
Instrumentation components included within each instrumentation system-include power supply, sensors, relays, wiring and final operating device (solenold, relay, etc.) as necessary to perform the system safety function..
3.
Electrical components included within each electrical system '
include power source, breaker, control circuit, cable, _ relaying and operating device (motor, solenold, heater, relay, etc.) as necessary to perform the system safety function.
4.'
Certain components are excluded from the QA program requirements if they meet the criteria described in Section III.
III.
ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM COMPONENT EXCLUSION CRITERIA p
L 1.
Any component of an electrical or instrumentation system (Section L
II) is excluded from the QA Program requirements if it meets the following criteria:
i a.
A failure of the component by the electrical shorting, open circuiting, grounding or mechanical failure would not render the system incapable of performing its intended safety function.
i b.
A failure of the fluid pressure boundary of the component would not render the system incapable of performing its intended safety function.
c.
It is not used to operate or control a device required by Technical Specifications.

Small spare parts having no traceability, such as commercial off the shelf items, may be purchased as non-safety related and then i
accepted for use in equipment requiring Quality Assurance, y
Examples of such items are resistors, capacitors, switches, indicators, coils, wire, connectors, solid state devices and alscellaneous hardware.
IV.
MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS Mechanical systems and components have been nuclear safety classified in accordance with ANSI Standard N18.2, " Nuclear Safety Criteria for the Design of Stationary Pressurized Water Reactor Plants".
Instruments, controls, motors, sensors, etc. associated with the nuclear safety classified ' components which assist the components in performing a safety function are in the same safety class as the-component to which they are associated except as noted in Section II above.
Corresponding component supports that provide a safety function are in the same safety class as the components for which they provide support.
Component safety class designations are listed in'the attached Table' y
