FOREWORD The Vice President and General Manager of the Westinghouse Energy Systems l Business Unit has committed the resources and support of the Westinghouse l Electric Corporation to the Simplified Passive Advanced Light Water l Reactor Plant (AP600) Program. As a supplier of items and services to the l nuclear industry, Westinghouse has established a single Quality Assurance l Plan (QAP) that complies with the applicable government regulatory and industry requirements. The QAP is identified as topical report WCAP-8370, currently Revision 12A. WCAP-8370 applies to all Westinghouse activities affecting the quality of such items and services, including the AP600.

Since the scope of these activities includes operating plants and plants under construction, WCAP-8370 commits to meeting 10CFR50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1 and NQA-2, and United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Regulatory Guide 1.28 Revision 3. WCAP-8370 Revision 12A has been accepted by the NRC.

The AP600 Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP), WCAP-12600, affirms the commitments established in WCAP-8370 for the AP600 program. It does not replace WCAP-8370, although it does establish commitments for the AP600 program that are in addition to those in WCAP-8370. WCAP-12600 further describes how some specific features of the program relate to selected criteria of the NRC Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, Chapter 17.3

" Quality Assurance Program Description."

WCAP-12600 was initially developed for the Design Certification program, and it continues as an integral program for First-0f-A-Kind Engineering ,

(F0AKE). It therefore applies to work performed on both programs.

The commitments in WCAP-12600 to regulatory requirements and industry standards are tied to those established in WCAP-8370, and meet or exceed the requirements of the Design Certification and F0AKE contracts.

Commitments are revised when necessary to meet new NRC or customer requirements, or when deemed necessary by Westinghouse management to improve the quality of the items and services provided.

GW-GAM-001, REV. 2 iii

~_- _ _ _ - _

4 FOREWORD (Continued)

WCAPs 8370 and 12600 also provide a foundation for implementing corporate  !

Total Quality goals. The commitments established in response to NQA-1 requirements also support Westinghouse Total Quality initiatives. For i example, the provisions for training support the human resource excellence i initiative; management assessments support the management leadership  !

initiative; self- assessments support the product / process improvement  ;

initiative; and the utilization of the 'Aility Requirements Document as ,

input to the design process supports the customer satisfaction initiative.

Total Quality initiatives are also implemented by means that are outside 3 the scope of WCAPs 8370 and 12600, such as the Energy Systems Business Unit Bustrass Improvement Plan. This olan establishes quality improvement F and performance measurement object' a , integral with the financial and other non-financial business unit objectives. The Business Improvement Plan includes companion plans at lower organization levels within the Business Unit.

WCAP-8370 governs all Westinghouse nuclear work and provides for certain -

i interfaces with the NRC. For example, WCAP-8370 is submitted for NRC acceptance, and the NRC must be notified of changes in accordance with  ;

10CFR50.55 (f)(3). Commitment to specified Regulatory Guides for the QA ,

program is addressed in the Standard Safety Analysis Report (SSAR), Since j WCAP-12600 continues to apply to activities associated with the Design Certification phase, the QA program provides for a management position with responsibilities for interfacing with the NRC.  !

Changes to the commitments contained in this Quality Assurance Program Plan will be submitted to the Advanced Reactor Corporation (ARC) and to ,

the Department of Energy (DOE) for review and acceptance. ,

Nuclear Safety and Regulatory Activities NATD, Energy Systems Westinghouse Electric Corporation Post Office Box 355  !

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230

Dear Mr. Liparulo:

Your letter of March 24, 1992, forwarded a proposed revision of WCAP 8370,

" Quality Assurance Plan." WCAP 8370 is the quality assurance (QA) topical report applicable to the Energy Systems Business Unit and the Power Generation Business Unit of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

We have reviewed the proposed revision of WCAP 8370 against the acceptance i criteria provided as guidance in Section 17.3, " Quality Assurance Program Description," of NUREG-0800, the NRC's Standard Review Plan. We find the proposed revision describes a QA program that when properly implemented will  ;

meet the noted guidance and, therefore, the requirements of Appendix B of 10 CFR Part'50. The proposed revision can be ' referenced by applicants for a  ;

combined construction permit-operating license for a nuclear power plant in accordance with.10 CFR Part.52, without further NRC review. The proposed revision is also acceptable for other Westinghouse nuclear activities such as ,

those involved with advanced reactors, nuclear fuel, and maintenance and modifications of existing nuclear power plants. .

Please ident,1fy the revision of WCAP 8370 as Revision.12A,-incorporate a copy of this letter into it, and forward one copy to the NRC in actordance with 10 CFR 50.4. Any questions on the above should be directed to Jack Spraul of.my staff on (301) 504-1023.

SECTION 2 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM 2.0 COMMITMENTS This Quality Assurance Plan is applied to activities affecting the quality of items and services identified in Section 3.2.1 of the applicable Safety Analysis Report (SAR) document, as well as other items ,

and services requested by the applicant / licensee. The applicability of this Quality Assurance Plan, is as determined by contract at, or prior to, the outset of work and application is based on the safety class of the item or service as well as on the complexity of the scope of work. The ,

safety class of items is documented and approved by responsible management.

Appendix A and Appendix C of this Quality Assurance Plan describes commitments to the regulatory guides, ASME NQA-1 and ASME NQA-2. The exceptions, clarifications and alternates described in Appendix A and C may not all apply to all of the divisions. Divisions, including ,

Procurement Services, comply with the guidance of the regulatory guides, ASME NQA-1, and ASME NQA-2 as written or with the exceptions, clarifications, and alternatives listed in Appendix A and Appendix C.

Also, all organizations covered by this plan comply with the requirements of 10CFR50.55a, (with the specific editions of the Codes and Standards identified in individual SARs) and Criterion 1 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part

50. As applicable, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, and American National Standard ASME NQA-1 requirements are supplemented with the guidance of the Regulatory Guides

' per Appendix A. (Se'e Part A, Section 3 of this Plan for the listing of applicable regulatory guides).

2.0 COMMITMENTS (Continued)

Each division that provides items and services to nuclear power plants has programs and procedures that describe compliance with the commitments of this Quality Assurance Plan, and for special equipment, environmental conditions and processes as necessary. These programs and procedures are documented and controlled as described in Part B, Section 3 of this Plan.

These programs and procedures are reviewed and approved by the appropriate quality assurance department before an activity within the scope of this Plan is undertaken by a division or by others and are made mandatory by the responsible division General Manager. Figure 5 (Page 64) provides a listing of QA Manuals.

Procedures that implement division's Quality Assurance programs are approved by the manager responsible for the activities performed.

2.1 GRADED APPROACH Control over activities affecting the quality of items and services is to the extent consistent with the complexity of the scope of work and safety related function of the item or service, lo ensure consistency in identifying those items, classification processes are documented in procedures. The processes rely on the use of the term safety class (See Figure 1 for clarification - Page 14). All applicable requirements contained in this Plan are applied to Safety Class 1, 2 and 3 l items. For Class 4 items, selected requirements contained in this Plan apply (See Figure 2 for logic used to determine appropriate quality requirements - Page 15). Other similar identifiers may be used for safety class identity, such as, A, B, C and etc.; however, the requirements contained in this Plan are unchanged. These quality requirements are specified in design documents, procurement documents, procedures, etc.

This Plan may be applied to items or activities other than those designated Safety Class -1, -2, -3 and Class 4 as specified by management.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 20

SECTION 3 DOCUMENT CONTROL i

3.0 GENERAL A program for the development, identification of scope, review, approval, issuance and use of documents and changes thereto is established to assure technical adequacy and inclusion of appropriate quality requirements prior to implementation. This program includes responsibil-ities, as appropriate, for independent reviews by qualified individuals for quality provisions. Procedures provide methods to assure that the proper document revisions are used; that document changes are controlled to prevent inadvertent use of obsolete or superseded documents; that individuals or groups responsible for reviewing, approving, and issuing documents and revisions thereto are identified; and that review and approval of changes are performed by the organizations which originally reviewed / approved the document, or by a designated alternate organization (s).

C 3.1 DOCUMENT PREPARATION, REVIEW, APPROVAL AND ISSUANCE Document control requirements include the identification of documents that are controlled and distribution thereof, and the review of documents for adequacy, completeness (for position see Appendix A, ASME NQA-1, Supplement 6S-1, Page A-6) and correctness prior to approval and issuance. Distribution of new or revised documents are made available in a timely manner to assure effective implementation.

3.2 DOCUMENT CHANGES Changes to documents are evaluated, approved and controlled.

Inconsequential editorial changes and corrections do not require that the )

revised document receive the same review and approval as the original document. To avoid a possible omission of a required review, the types of changes that do not require such a review and approval and the persons who can authorize such a decision are clearly identified. All other WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 21 i

3.2 DOCUMENT CHANGES (Continued) changes are reviewed and approved by the same organization that performed the original review and approval or by an auth'orized alternate  ;

organization. Changes to procedures, instructions, drawings and other documents are approved and documented prior to implementation, and are made available at the location where the activity will be performed prior to commencing the work. ,

3.3 CONTROLLED DOCUMENTS Documents describing activities affecting quality or specify quality requirements are controlled in accordance with this Quality Assurance Plan and implementing procedures. Controlled documents include but are }

not limited to instructions,- procedures, design calculations, specifica-  !

tions, drawings, computer software documentation, design review reports, >

procurement documents, nonconformance reports, the standard safety

  • analysis report, and this Quality Assurance Plan. Document control procedures include provisions for the maintenance and use of master  ;

lists, receipt acknowledgement systems, log and verification systems or ,

tables of contents to identify the current versions of documents.

3.4 DRAWING CONTROL Drawings prepared by the Divisions and supplier drawings requested for submittal are reviewed and approved by Engineering and controlled in accordance with established procedures. Drawings are processed for issue, retention and retrieval in accordance with these established procedures.

WCAP-8370, REY.12A 22 i

SECTION'4 DESIGN CONTROL 4.0 GENERAL Procedures and instructions define the design process associated with design interfaces, control of the design, identification of design inputs, preparation of design documents, design verification, and design changes.

Translation of applicable regulatory requirements and design bases into design, procurement, and procedural documents is also established, implemented and controlled.

4.1 DESIGN INPllT Design input, such as design bases, functional requirements, performance requirements, regulatory requirements, and codes and standards are documented, reviewed, and approved by the responsible design groups.

Design inputs are correctly translated and specified in sufficient detail to permit a consistent basis for making design decisions, accomplishing design verification, and evaluating design changes. Changes from approved design inputs, including the reason for the changes, are documented, approved, and controlled.

4.2 DESIGN PROCESS Design documents are prepared by the engineering organizations and include design input and criteria, functional requirements, drawings, system and design specifications, design analyses, structure descriptions and engineering studies, as appropriate. Engineering managers are respons~

ible for work performed and the approval of that work. Methods and responsibility for verifying calculations, specifications, and required  ;

documentation are included in procedures or instructions where appropri-ate. Quality requirements are specified by engineering and are reviewed and approved by quality assurance.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 23 l

4.2 DESIGN PROCESS (Continued)

Approved design output documents contain the identification of any assemblies and/or components that are part of the item being designed.

Further, if the assembly and/or component is a commercial grade item that is modified, inspected and/or tested to requirements more restrictive than the supplier's published product description, the assembly or component is identified as different from the commercial grade item and traceable to the documented difference. Approved design output documents are of sufficient detail to permit design verification.

Changes from approved quality standards, including the reason for the changes, are approved by the same organizations which reviewed and approved the original design. Design methods and processes that are essential to the function of the structure, system or component are selected and reviewed for suitability of application by the responsible engineering manager.

4.3 DESIGN ANALYSES Design analyses are performed in accordance with procedures and/or instructions. Prepared design analysis documents are legible, reproduc-ible and sufficiently detailed as to purpose, method, assumptions, design input, and references such that the analysis can be reviewed and the adequacy of the results verified by a person technically qualified in the subject without recourse to the preparer.

Computer programs used for design analysis need not be individually verified prior to each application provided: 1) the encoded mathematical model has been shown to produce valid solutions to known problems; and 2) the encoded model has been verified for the specified range of inputs and outputs. Changes to computer programs are controlled, documented and l approved by authorized personnel. Changes to previously verified computer programs are verified, including evaluation of the effects of these

( changes on 1) and 2), above.

1 l

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 24 1

l 4.3 DESIGN ANALYSES (Continued)  !

Documentation of design analyses includes, either directly or by reference, the definition of the objective of the analysis; definition of Jesign inputs and their sources; results of literature searches or other applicable background data; identification of assumptions and indication of those that require verification as the design proceeds; identification of computer calculations, including computer type, computer program name, revision, inputs, outputs, evidence of, or reference to, computer program verification, and the bases or reference to supporting application of the computer program to the specific physical problem; and review and approval .

4.4 DESIGN VERIFICATION In accordance with established procedures, engineering managers are responsible for assuring that appropriate design verification methods used are established and implemented. These procedures ensure appropriate verification methods are used for each design, the acceptance criteria are identified, the verification is satisfactorily accomplished, and the results are properly documented. Verification is accomplished using methods such as the following, as described in procedures: design reviews, alternate calculations, or qualification tests. Design verification is performed by competent individual (s) or group (s) other than those who performed the original design. Verification may not be performed by the originator's supervisor, except when the supervisor is the only qualified person available, or provided the supervisor did not specify a singular design approach or rule out certain design considerations, and did not establish the design inputs used in the design. In these cases, the justification is documented and approved in ,

advance by the supervisor's management. Nevertheless, a supervisor never verifies his own work or inputs. The frequency and effectiveness of the supervisor's use as a design verifier are verified during quality assurance audits to guard against abuse. Results of design verification are documented with the identification of the verifier clearly indicated (for position, see Appendix A, Page A-5).

4 4.4 DESIGN VERIFICATION (Continued)

Design inputs, processes, outputs, and changes are verified prior to release of design documents to others for use in design activities, procurement, manufacture, or construction except where unverified portions of the design are identified, documented and controlled. Procedures require that design verification is completed before relying on the item to perform its function and before its installation becomes irreversible requiring extensive demolition or rework. Engineering managers determine the extent of design verification required as a function of the importance to safety, the complexity of the design, the degree of standardization, the state of the art, and the similarity with previously proven designs.

Design changes are evaluated to determine their effect on the overall design and on any design analysis upon which the design is based. Changes to final designs, including field changes and dispositions of nonconforming items to "use-as-is" or "-epairs" are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design.

These changes are approved by the organization that performed the original design or a qualified designate.

4.4.1 DESIGN REVIEWS Independent reviews are performed by an individual (or individuals) or multi-disciplined design review teams. These reviews are performed by competent personnel and, where applicable, the following are addressed:

design input selection, described and reasonable design output compared to design input, design input and verification requirements from interfacing organizations, appropriate design method used, design inputs correctly incorporated into the design, and adequately described, rr.asonable, and identified assumptions.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 26

-4.4.2 ALTERNATE' CALCULATIONS The requirements for verification by alternate calculations.are described in procedures which include the review of appropriateness of assumptions, input data, and computer program or other calculation method used.

4.4.3 QUALIFICATION TESTS Qualification tests demonstrate the adequacy of performance under conditions that simulate the most severe design conditions in accordance with written test procedures and test specifications. Test specifica-tions are reviewed and approved by the responsible engineering group.

Results of the qualification tests are approved by the engineering group responsible for the design. For tests performed on models or mockups, -j scaling laws are established and verified (for position, see Appendix A, Page A-5). Test results obtained for model or mockup test work are  ;

subject to error analysis, where applicable, prior to use in final design l J

work. Information regarding verification that is incomplete, including incomplete qualification tests, is available to the applicant prior to installation of equipment.

4.5 DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS Design specifications are used to specify technical and quality requirements either by their inclusion in the specification or by reference. These specifications are reviewed to verify accuracy and ,

completeness. They are also reviewed by quality assurance to assure that proper quality requirements are addressed, including inspection, test, and documentation requirements. The term " Design Specification" includes drawings when they are used in lieu of design specifications.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 27

4.6 DESIGN CHANGE CONTROL Written procedures describe the control of design changes, including those for identified design deficiencies. Changes to approved design documents including field changes are subject to the same review and approval process as the original document. Where changes to previously verified design are made, design verification is performed.

4.7 IKTERFACE CONTROL Design interfaces are identified, documented and controlled. Interface controls include the assignment of responsibility and the use of proce-dures among participating design organizations, including the applicant or his agent, for the review, approval, release, distribution and revision of documents including revision of design inputs and outputs (for position, see Appendix A, Page A-6). Transmittal of design information is documented and controlled, and the status of the information is identified.

4.8 DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDS Design documentation which provides evidence that the design and design verification were performed in accordance with procedural requirements is collected, stored and maintained. Design records also include calculations, analyses, computer programs, and sources of design input that support the final output.

7.I SUPPLIER SELECTION (Continued) b) review of supplier's current quality records supported by documented qualitative and quantitative information which can be objectively evaluated; and c) supplier's technical and quality capability is deter-mined by a source evaluation of his facilities, personnel, and the content and implementation of his quality assurance program.

Significant deficiencies are documented and corrected, and commitments to resolve all other unacceptable conditions are obtained from the supplier prior to contract award.

7.2 BID EVALUATION l

l Bid evaluations are performed by designated individuals or organizations )

to determine the extent of conformance to the procurement documents. This I evaluation addresses the following subjects, as applicable to the types of procurement: technical requirements consideration, quality assurance I requirements, suppliers' personnel capability, supplier's production capability, suppliers' past performance, alternates and exceptions. Prior to contract award or prior to start of related work activity, unacceptable quality conditions resulting from the bid evaluation are resolved or commitments are obtained to resolve the conditions.

7.3 SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Suppliers a're evaluated initially for the items and services specified to detennine the acceptability of their quality assurance programs for the items and services specified. Acceptability of suppliers is documented.

A formal evaluation of suppliers is performed each year to determine if additional actions such as audits are required during the upcoming year.

This evaluation includes a review of some or all of the following: prior quality program audits, supplier surveillance activities, nature and frequency of hardware discrepancies, results of audits from other sources (customers, ASME, NRC, etc.) if available, significant changes in the supplier's QA program, procurement document compliance, supplier required WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 34

i 7.3 SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (Continued) i submittals, processing required change information and document i

exchange, and the supplier's responsiveness and cooperation in resolving-quality questions or problems. As a result of this evaluation, suppliers -

requiring a complete quality program reaudit are identified. The results I of this evaluation are documented and approved by responsible management. l Regardless of the results of the evaluation, suppliers are reaudited every  ;

three years. Evaluations are not conducted for the year a supplier is scheduled to be audited. At divisions holding the appropriate ASME  !

certificates of authorization, suppliers are categorized as ASME Code and l non-ASME code suppliers. ASME accredited suppliers are selected and )

evaluated in accordance with the requirements of this Plan for items and  :

services supplied.

I Based on an evaluation conducted and documented in accordance with NQA-1, Section 5.1 of Appendix 4A-1, supplier audits are not necessary for procuring items that are (1) relatively simple and standard in design, l manufacturing, and testing and (2) adaptable to standard or automated inspections or tests of the end product to verify quality characteristics after delivery. i i

Evaluations of Divisions and ESBU Procurement Services are performed by auditing their documented quality assurance programs to the requirements contained in this Quality Assurance Plan. .!

Contingent conditions that require additional action after delivery of the item to the applicant / licensee are documented. Contingent conditions are monitored and their resolution is documented and provided to the applicant / licensee before the item is placed in service or use.

l 7.5 ACCEPTANCE OF ITEMS AND SERVICES 7.5.1 GENERAL I Procedures are established for the acceptance of items or services supplied by the Divisions and their suppliers. ,

A quality release based on importance to safety and/or complexity of the item is authorized by quality assurance when items are shipped for use in nuclear power plants. The quality release is a document which includes specific information identifying the item and the applicable procurement documents, and certifies that the item meets all procurement requirements. The quality release includes identification of any approved deviations from the procurement requirements and is signed by a person (s)  ;

authorized by quality assurance. Procedures describe the actions necessary to initiate, authorize, issue, distribute and revise quality releases. These procedures include provisions for ensuring documented evidence of item acceptance is at the nuclear power plant before the item is placed in service or used.

For items that are shipped to a Division facility or transferred from one Division facility to another for further processing, receiving or source  ;

inspections are performed in accordance with established requirements commensurate with the complexity and use of the item and the status of the supplier or facility. This receiving or source inspection verifies that the item and specified documentation comply with the applicable requirements. The status is identified on, or traceable to, the item.

WCAP-8370, REY. 12A 36 l

7.5.2 METHODS OF ACCEPTANCE Items or related services are accepted by one of the following methods or a combination thereof.

Certificate of Conformance (C of C) - When a C of C is used for acceptance, criteria (a) through (f), as a minimum, are met: (a) the pur-chased item will be identified on the C of C by purchase order number.

(b) the C of C identifies er references documents that identify the procurement requirements, such as codes, standards and other specifica-tions; approved changes, waivers, or deviations are also identified on the .

C of C; (c) procurement requirements that are not met are identified along with an explanation of how the nonconformance was resolved; (d) the person responsible, as described in the responsible division's or supplier's quality assurance program, signs the C of C; (e) the C of C process, which includes preparation, review and approval, is described in the ,

l responsible division's or supplier's quality assurance program; and (f) verification of the supplier's C of Cs and certification process is '

performed during audits or surveillance, or both, at intervals commensurate with the supplier's past performance.  !

Source Verification - When specified in procurement documents, quality assurance surveillance of suppliers during fabrication, inspection, testing or release of items is provided. For complex items, guidance for surveillance activities is provided by established quality procurement standards or procurement quality requirements generated prior to the activity. Audits, surveillance, and/or inspections by quality assurance i personnel are performed to verify suppliers' compliance with quality assurance procedures and procurement document requirements. Where no established quality standards exist, the specific technical requirements of the procurement documents are used as the basis for surveillance. The degree of surveillance varies with the degree of importance of the item, supplier performance and complexity of the item, and may result in a requirement to verify lower tier activities of the suppliers.

P WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 37 I

7.5.2 METHODS OF ACCEPTANCE (Continued)

Receivino Inspection - Receiving inspections are performed in accordance with procedures and inspection instructions. These inspections are performed to verify conformance to specified requirements. Such features as proper configuration, identification, dimensional, physical and other characteristics, freedom from shipping damage and cleanliness are also verified. The supplier's quality performance, as verified during audits and/or surveillance, is considered in determining the extent of receiving inspection to be performed. Any required documentation specified in the procurement documents to be furnished prior to receiving inspection is reviewed during surveillance and release of the item.

Post-Installation Testina - The responsible division and the applicant / licensee or his agent will mutually establish the test requirements and acceptance documentation in test specifications when post-installation tests are used.

7.5.3 ACCEPTANCE OF SERVICES ONLY Acceptance of procured services is by any or all of the following methods: technical verification of data produced; surveillance or audit of the activity; review of objective evidence for conformance to procurement document requirements. These methods are described in procedures. ,

SECTION 8 IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL OF ITEMS 8.0 METHODS Identification and control requirements are established in quality assurance programs and are specified in procurement documents for items including consumable materials and items with limited shelf life or limited calendar or operating life, to prevent the use of incorrect or defective items.

Items of production, such as batches, lots, components and parts, are identified from their initial receipt and fabrication through their i installation and use. This identification is traceable to the design or other specifying documents. Identification markings on the item are used to the maximum extent possible. When this method of identification is impractical, physical separation, procedural control, or other appropriate controls are used. Marking of items is accomplished by .dng material and methods that provide a clear and legible identification. darkings are  ;

transferred to each part when an item is subdivided, and these markings are not obliterated or hidden by surface treatment. These requirements take j into consideration the location and the method of identification so that I the fit, function, or quality of the item being identified is not adversely ' '

affected. ,

J l

8.1 TRACEABILITY Identification and control procedures assure that identification is maintained on the item or on records traceable to the item to preclude use of incorrect. or defective items, to an extent consistent with the item's I importance to safety. Item identification can be traced to appropriate documentation such as design documents, procurement documents, process control documents, or inspection records. Item identification is verified and documented prior to release of the item for further use.

I l

WCAP-8370, REV.12A 40

8.1 TRACEABILITY (Continued)

Specific requirements for identification and traceability of items when specified by codes, standards, or specifications, such as grade of material, heat, batch, test and erial number are also controlled by the quality assurance programs.

8.2 LIMITED LIFE ITEMS Items having limited calendar or operating life are identified and con-  !

trolled to preclude use of items whose shelf life or operating life has expired. 1 l

SECTION 9 CONTROL OF PROCESSES 9.0 PROCESS CONTROL Processes affecting quality of items or services are controlled by i.nstructions, procedures, drawings, checklists, process control documents, or other appropriate methods. These methods control process parameters and assure that specified environmental conditions are maintained.

Special processes may include welding, heat treating, nondestructive examination, electro-mechanical machining, explosive forming, cleaning, and painting.

9.1 SPECIAL PROCESSES Special processes are those which are highly dependent on the control of the process or the skill of the operators, or both, and in which the specified quality cannot be readily determined by inspection or test of the product. Examples of special processes include, but are not limited to, welding, heat treating and nondestructive examination.

Special processes are performed in accordance with documented instructions which include or reference procedure, personnel and equipment qualification requirements. These requirements comply with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or other documents. The documented instructions also specify conditions for accomplishing the process, use of proper equipment, parameters to be controlled, calibration requirements, including acceptance criteria, and any special requirements.

Qualification records are maintained and quality assurance personnel are involved in the control of qualification activities through procedure ,

approval, surveillance or audits, as appropriate.

TEST CONTROL 11.0 GENERAL Testing is planned, executed, documented, and evaluated to specified requirements in accordance with written procedures, to demonstrate that items will perform satisfactorily in service. Characteristics to be tested and the test methods used are specified prior.to test. : Test-requirements and applicable acceptance criteria are specified.in procurement documents, test specifications, technical documents or a procedures.

When acceptance criteria are not met and modifications, repairs and/or-replacements are necessary, these modifications, repairs and/or replacements will be retested to the original acceptance criteria. I i

11.1 TEST REQUIREMENTS i i

Test requirements and acceptance criteria may be documented in various j controlled forms, such as test procedures, test specifications, drawings, travelers, or test instructions; and, are provided or approved by the-organization responsible for the design.

Test controls are established to identify criteria that specify when testing is required, the development of procedures, a means.of assessing the adequacy of the test items, and designation of the responsibility for perfoming the various phases of the testing. Controlled tests include, as appropriate, proof tests before installation, post-modification tests, .

prototype qualification tests, and production tests, construction tests and pre-operational tests.

11.2 TEST PROCEDURES Test procedures and/or associated instructions include: a) method and ,

instruction for performing the test; b) test prerequisites, such as WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 46

11.2 TEST PROCEDURES (Continued) calibrated instrumentation, adequate and appropriate equipment, qualified personnel, preparation, condition and completeness of the item to be tested, suitable and, if required, controlled environmental conditions; c) requirements and acceptance criteria, by incorporation or reference to design or other technical documents; d) mandatory inspection hold points, if required for witness by owner, contractor, or inspector; and, e) requirements for documenting test data results.

11.3 TEST RESULTS AND RECORDS Test results are documented, evaluated, and their acceptability deter-mined by a qualified, responsible individual or organization. Test results that determine final product acceptability are evaluated by a responsible authority to assure that test requirements have been.

satisfied.

Test records shall, as a minimum, identify the following: item tested, date of test, tester or data recorder, type of observation, results and acceptability, action taken for any deviation noted, and person (s) evaluating test results.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 47 1

SECTION 12 HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING 12.0 SENERAL A program commensurate with the safety significance of the item is implemented to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning, and preserving of items to prevent loss, damage, and deterioration. This program is documented in procedures or instructions.

These procedures / instructions may be in different formats, such as manufacturing procedures, shipping instructions, drawings, process control documents and cleaning process specifications.

12.1 SPECIAL REQUIREMENT 3 Special handling, storage and shipping requirements are contained in various documents, such as drawings, specifications or procurement documents, and these requirements are provided to the applicant / licensee when equipment is shipped to the plant site or storage facility. Special protective equipment, such as containers, shock absorbers, accelerometers, special protective environments (e.g. gas atmospheres, specific moisture  ;

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 48

SECTION 13 INSPECTION 13.0 PERSONNEL Inspections for product acceptance are performed by personnel who are qualified to perform the assigned inspection task and not responsible for the work being inspected. Qualification is certified as described in Part A, Section 2, Para. 2.1 of this Plan.

Inspections by personnel during on-the-job training shall be performed under direct supervision of a qualified person. Ultimate verification of conformance is always by the qualified person.

13.1 PLANNING Planning for these inspection activities is accomplished and documented using checklists, procedures, travelers, procurement documents or supplier procedures. These documents identify characteristics and activities to be inspected, the inspection method, the acceptance criteria, the organiza-  ;

tion responsible for performing the inspection, and the documentation of inspection results.

If sampling is used to verify acceptability of a group of items, the sampling procedure is documented and based on recognized standard practice.

I 13.2 HOLD POINTS, IN-PROCESS AND FINAL INSPECTIONS Procedures are established and implemented for inspection of items which include source, in-process, modification and final inspection.

Hold points, if required, are identified and defined in inspection documents. Work shall not proceed beyond hold points without consent I

WCAP-8370, REY 12A 49 4

13.2 HOLD POINTS, IN-PROCESS AND FINAL INSPECTIONS (Continued) from the organization which established the hold points. This consent is recorded prior to continuation of work. Corrected areas are reinspected when acceptance criteria is not met. Modifications, repairs, or replacement of items subsequent to final inspection require reinspection or retest, as appropriate, to verify acceptability.

Items in process are inspected commensurate with their complexity and importance to safety. Monito*ing methods are used where inspection of items is impossible or otherwise impractical. Both inspection and process monitoring are used when control is inadequate without both. When both inspection and process monitoring are required, coordination and sequencing of these activities are established and documented.

Final inspections are planned and performed to verify conformance of the item to specified requirements. Completed items are inspected for completeness, marking, calibration, adjustments, protection from damage, or other characteristics as required to verify quality. Inspection also includes the review of the adequacy and completeness of the inspection results and the resolution of any nonconformances.

13.3 RECORDS Inspections are documented, and the inspection records contain, as a minimum: item inspected, date of inspection, inspector, type of obser-vation, results or acceptability, and reference to action taken for any nonconformances.

Inspection results are recorded either by qualified inspectors or by '

personnel during on-the-job training. Inspection results recorded by personnel during on-the-job training are verified by qualified inspectors and this verification is documented. Completed inspection records are reviewed to the extent necessary to determine the adequacy and completeness of the inspection records.

SECTION 15 CONTROL OF NONCONFORMING ITEMS 15.0 IDENTIFICATION, SEGREGATION AND DISPOSITION Procedures are established to control the identification, documentation, evaluation, segregation, and disposition of nonconforming items which include failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations and defective material and equipment. Nonconformance documentation identifies the nonconforming item, describes the nonconformance and its disposition, and documents approvals and any reinspection or testing required.

Individuals, including appropriate engineering and quality assurance personnel, or organizations, who are authorized to segregate, control and approve the disposition of nonconforming items are identified.

Nonconforming items are controlled to preclude their inadvertent use.

l l Nonconformances are "used-as-is," " rejected or scrapped," " repaired," or

" reworked." Technical justification for the acceptability of a noncon-forming item to be repaired or used-as-is is documented. Items used-as-is or repaired that do not conform to design requirements are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. Repaired or reworked items are reinspected in accordance with appropriate procedures / instructions, and with the original acceptance criteria. In accordance with this plan, quality assurance verifies implementation of the controls applied to nonconforming items during audits and surveillance.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 52

SECTION 16 CORRECTIVE ACTION 16.0 GENERAL Conditions adverse to quality such as failures, malfunctions, nonconformances, and out-of-control processes (including failure to follow procedures) shall be identified. These adverse conditions are also analyzed, documented, and corrected commensurate with their importance to safety. A "no-fault" attitude towards identification of problems is applicable to all personnel and is described in implementing procedures and training. Responsibility for implementation of any portion of the corrective action program may be delegated but management retains responsibility for its effectiveness.

16.1 CORRECTIVE ACTION Personnel performing activities in accordance with this Plan identify conditions adverse to quality and suggest, recommend or provide solutions to the conditions as appropriate. Procedures describe the identification, documentation, classification, cause analysis, and correction of the conditions adverse to quality.

Conditions adverse to quality are reviewed to determine the need for additional corrective action. These conditions are also analyzed for trends in quality performance and the results of these trend analyses are provided to appropriate management levels. Provisions are contained in procedures or instructions that ensure corrective actions (including procedural software and hardware) are reviewed and not inadvertently nullified by subsequent actions. Corrective action involving rework, repair and replacement of items includes any inspections or tests that are to be performed in accordance with either the original requirements, or approved and specified alternate requirements. For significant WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 53

16.1 CORRECTIVE ACTION (Continued) conditions adverse to quality, the causes are determined and documented and the impact of such conditions on items and services is evaluated for significant trends and reported to the appropriate level of management.

Actions taken to prevent recurrence are documented and reported to-appropriate levels of management.

16.2 FOLLOW-UP _

Implementation of corrective action is. verified by responsible individuals or organizations. For corrective action resulting from reports (e.g., nonconformance reports, audit reports, computer softwr.re error reports, NRC inspection reports, customer audit reports, etc..)

quality assurance participates in verifying that appropriate corrective action is documented and implemented.

SECTION 17 QUALITY ASSUPANCE RECORDS 17.0 GENERAL Quality Assurance Record "A completed document that furnishes evidence of the quality of items and/or activities affecting quality."

(NQA-1) (for position, see Appendix A, Page A-4)

Records that furnish evidence of quality are specified, prepared and maintained in accordance with established procedures. Requirements and responsibilities are identified and contained in these procedures and include methods for indexing, distribution, identification, classifi-cation, retrieval and retention. These requirements assure the generation and maintenance of records that reflect the quality of completed work.

Quality Assurance Records listed in Appendix 17A-1 of NQA-1 are controlled in accordance with this section. As required by contract, quality assurance records are maintained and/or forwarded to the applicant / licensee for retention.

17.1 RECORD ADMINISTRATION Design specifications, procurement documents, test procedures or other documents specify the records to be generated. Managers responsible for the generation of quality assurance records are also responsible for ensuring that they are evaluated for completeness, accuracy, indexing, record classification (as lifetime or nonpermanent records), and record validation.

Documents are considered valid records only if stamped, initialed or signed and dated by authorized personnel or otherwise authenticated.

This authentication may take the form of a statement by the responsible individual or organization. Handwritten signatures are not required if the document is clearly indicated as a statement by the reporting individual or organization. These records may be originals or copies.

WCAP-8370, REY.12A 55

17.1 RECORD ADMINISTRATION (Continued)

I Correction of quality assurance records is in accordance with procedures, which include provisions for review or approval by the originating organization, and the date and identification of the person authorized to issue the correction.

j Each group generating and collecting quality assurance records is responsible for indexing (for position, see Appendix A, Page A-8),

identifying the status, and maintaining a retrieval system for records.

Records indices, i.e., records flow schedules, include, as a minimum, record retention times and location of the records. Identification of the item or activity is provided by the record and/or the index.

I 17.2 CLASSIFICATION Records are classified as lifetime or nonpermanent in accordance with the following guidelines:

Lifetime - Those records which meet one or more of the following criteria:

- Those records which would be of significant value in demonstrating capability for safe operation.

- Records which would be of significant value in maintaining, reworking, repairing, replacing or modifying an item.

l

- Records which would be of significant value in determining the cause of an accident or malfunc- a l

tion of an item.

~

- Records which provide required baseline data for in-service inspections.

l l

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 56

17.2 CLASSIFICATION (Continued) e Nonnermanent - Records which show evidence that an activity was j performed in accordance with applicable requirements but which do not meet any of the criteria for lifetime records. Examples _of  ;

nonpermanent records are system audit reports, design control procedures, design procedures, training records and surveillance reports. Retention periods for nonpermanent records are established i and documented in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.28, Regulatory '

Position 2.

17.3 STORAGE, PRESERVATION AND SAFEKEEPING 1

Records are maintained in a manner which allows access by index to the j information contained in the records. Records Flow Schedules are used to  ;

identify records maintained. The schedules identify the retention l periods, the classification and disposition requirements, microfilming requirements (active records), and retention period at the permanent records storage facilities (inactive records). These requirements are specified in procedures that describe the system for identifying, accepting, maintaining, protecting and retrieving quality assurance records, and as clarified in Appendix A of this Plan, Pages A-8 through A-12.

17.4 STATUS, RETRIEVAL AND DISPOSITION Each group generating and collecting quality assurance records is responsible for identifying the status, and maintaining a retrieval system for records. The receipt control system is structured in accordance with procedures and alternatives to NQA-1 described in Appendix A (Page A-9) of this Plan. Retrieval of records is men 0'ed by authorized personnel. Disposition of records is described m procedures which delineate responsibilities and requirements and processing of these records in accordance with this Plan.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A 57

SECTION 18 AUDITS 18.0 GENERAL Quality Assurance is responsible for planning and performing internal and external' audits in accordance with established procedures to verify compliance with this Quality Assurance Plan. Quality Assurance is also responsible for determining and reporting to management the overall effectiveness of the implementation of the quality assurance program.

Audits include follow-up action where indicated.

18.1 SCHEDULING Audit scheduling and resource allocation are based on the status and safety importance of the activity and audits include the full scope of quality related activities being performed. Internal audits are conducted at least once a year or at least once during the life of the activity, whichever is shorter. External audits are conducted every three years or more frequently as determined by the annual supplier performance evaluations. The audit schedule is reviewed and revised when necessary to assure coverage is maintained. Supplemental audits are performed when necessary to provide verification of specific activities and processes.

18.2 PREPARATION Audit plan; are developed and documented prior to each audit. The audit plan identifies the audit scope, requirements, audit personnel, activities to be audited, group (s) to be notified, applicable documents, schedule and written procedures or checklists to be used during the performance of the audit.

WCAP-8370, REV.12A 58

I l

1 18.3 AUDIT PERSONNEL I l

Auditors are independent of any responsibility for performance of the activity which they will audit. Auditor selection is based on knowledge and experience required for the activity being audited. Auditors are j qualified in accordance with ASME NQA-1, Supplement 25-3. Audit team members are selected prior to the audit. Lead auditors are responsible for ensuring that team members are prepared to participate in the audit prior to its initiation.

18.4 PERFORMANCE Audits are conducted in accordance with written procedures or checklists. Activities being audited are evaluated against quality assurance program requirements, and the results of the audit are reported to management. Where corrective action is required for significant conditions adverse to quality, management is informed immediately.

18.5 REPORTING The audit report is signed by the audit team leader and contains the following information: description of the audit scope; identification of the auditors; personnel contacted during the audit; summary of audit results, including effectiveness of the quality assurance program; and, description of each audit nonconformance and request for corrective action in sufficient detail to enable corrective action to be taken.

18.6 RESPONSE, FOLLOW-UP ACTION AND RECORDS Managers of the audited activities are responsible for evaluation of the audit nonconformance(s), scheduling and implementing corrective action, identifying measures to prevent recurrence, and providing written response of action taken or planned. Lead Auditors evaluate corrective action plans and provide for follow-up action, including the reaudit of deficient areas where appropriate, to verify that corrective action is accomplished as scheduled. The completed audit files include audit plans, audit reports, written replies, and a record of completed corrective action.

PART C SELF-ASSESSMENT SECTION 1 - SELF-ASSESSMENTS 1.0 GENERAL Self-assessment is a means to a balanced approach where the quality assurance department and other functional departments work together to accomplish the quality objectives of each Division.

The self-assessment process objective is for functional departments to independently review and evaluate overall performance to determine the level of quality that is achieved through their individual activities and compliance to procedures.

1.1 ORGANIZATION Each Division General Manager and the ESBU Proutranent Services Manager is responsible for identifying a management position with responsibility ,

for assuring the implementation of the self-assessment function. This l

management position possesses the following characteristics: 1) l sufficient authority and organizational freedom exist to implement l assigned responsibilities; 2) it is sufficiently free from direct pressure for cost / schedule; 3) effective lines of communication exist with persons in other senior mtnagement positions; and, 4) there are no l

duties or responsibilities that preclude adequate attention to assigned self assessment responsibilities. When site activities warrant, an l on-site management position that possesses the same characteristics and responsibilities will be established.  ;

1.2 OBJECTIVES AM) RESPONSIRILITIES l Personnel responsible for implementation of the self-assessment function are aware of division or organization activities so they can act in a management advisory function. Responsibilities of the personnel include assessment of overall performance; identification of potential WCAP-8370, !!EV.12A 60 f

1.2 OBJECTIVES AND RESPONSIBILITIES (Continued) problems; reporting of assessment findings in a timely fashion to a level of management having the authority to cause corrective action; and verifying satisfactory completion of corrective action. Personnel performing self-assessment activities are technically and performance oriented, having the quality of the end product as their primary objective. Procedures and processes are of secondary importance to them and they have no direct responsibilities in the area they are assessing.

1.3 ASSESSMENT PROCESS Assessments are performed to a planned and scheduled program. Planning identifies the characteristics and activities to be assessed, and the acceptance criteria. Scheduling is dynamic and based on the safety importance of the activity, and self-assessment resources are supplemented when the quality assurance program effectiveness is in doubt. Assessments are accomplished using documented instructions, procedures, checklists or other documentation of a detail commensurate with the activity's complexity and importance to safety. Implementation of the quality assurance program for work delegated to others is also assessed as described in this section.

Results of self-assessments are documented and reviewed by the assessor's management and management having responsibility in the area assessed.

Corrective action is initiated when deficient areas are identified or the effectiveness of the quality assurance program is in doubt.

Position - Alternative Divisions routinely identify notification points in procurement documents when applicable. Such points are not always identified in pre- and post-award meetings. However, the required notification / hold points are specified by changes to the procurement documents in a reasonable time prior to their being accomplished to allow the Purchaser the opportunity to witness the event.

NOA-1 (Supplement 75-1. Section 3.1) Standard Paraaraoh Source Evaluation and Selection: " Measures for evaluation and selection of procurement sources, and the results therefrom, shall be documented and shall include one or more of (a) through (c) below:"

Position - Alternative In addition to methods (a), (b) and (c) for the evaluation and selection of procurement sources, ASME accredited certificate holders may be selected for the supply of ASME Section III code items and services as identified within the scope of their ASME certificates, based upon ASME acceptance of their Quality Assurance Program.

Audits and annual evaluations are performed in accordance with the commitments and requirements of this Plan.

NOA-1 (Supplement 75-1. Section 9) Standard Paracraoh Control of Supplier Nonconformances: Nonconformances to the procurement requirements or Purchaser approved documents, which consist of one or more of the following, shall be submitted to the Purchaser for approval of the recommended disposition: (2) require-ments in supplier documents which have been approved by-the Purchaser, are validated."

Position - Clarification Suppliers are required to submit deviations from technical procurement requirements for approval. When suppliers are required to submit selected process or manufacturing procedures for approval, the term approval means a review to assure that the supplier under-stands the procurement requirements and is applying appropriate measures to assure compliance with these requirements. The approval l

ASME NQA-1 Position - Clarification (Continued) action does not relieve the supplier of responsibility for assuring the acceptability of the product. Thus, suppliers are not required to submit nonconformance reports on deviations from these procedures, unless they constitute deviations from the Westinghouse procurement requirements.

NOA-1 (Supplement 75-1. Section 2 Standard Paracraoh Procurement Planning: " Planning shall provide for the integration of:. . . . (c) bid evaluation and award;"

Position - Clarification Contract Award - A contract award is initiated by the preparation of a procurement document. One of the several methods below may be used. -

1) Quality assurance reviews and approves purchase requisitions and purchase requisition changes. Necessary corrections or additions are completed prior to signing. A purchase order or change which accurately reflects the technical and quality requirements of the purchase requisition is then prepared by the purchasing department and issued to the vendor. In some cases, the quality requirements are predetermined for the item being procured. In this situation the quality requirements referenced in the procurement documents are previously approved by quality assurance.
2) Quality assurance reviews purchase requisitions and changes prior to contract award / order placement. In addition, purchase orders and changes are reviewed concurrently with issuance. If there is a discrepancy in the purchase order, quality assurance initiates a corrective action notice requesting resolution of the item, and if appropriate, identifies the point to which order processing may proceed (without effect on quality-related activities) prior to resolution of the discrepancy. Where required, a hold is placed on manufacturing until the item in question is resolved.
3) Quality assurance reviews and approves purchase orders and 1 changes prior to issuance.

WCAP-8370, REV. 12A A-8 l

ASME NQA-1 Position - Clarification  :

Divisions maintain more than one index for quality assurance records to provide necessary access and retrievability. The practice is utilized as an alternative to a single index for all quality assurance records.

NOA-1 (Supolement 175-1. Section 3.2) Standard ParacraDh Receipt Control: "As a Minimum, a receipt control system shall include the following:...(b) a method for identifying records received."

Position - Alternative Receipt control systems are maintained to fit individual needs and requirements. Each system is defined in procedures and identifies the types of records to be processed. Files are established in accordance with these procedures establishing a separate file location for each category of record. When a record is received, it is filed in its pre-assigned location. ihe large volume of records and the diverse nature of the activities being performed practically '

preclude keeping a running inventory of each record received into an in-process / working file. The presence of the document itself serves ,

as the record of what has been received. When action is completed for a particular activity or component, the in-process information is ,

checked to assure that all appropriate records are available.
