SNPS-1 FSAR 13.4 RE'lIC.! AND AUDIT A review and audit program, including inplant and independent reviews, has been developed to provide a system to determine that plant design, construction, startup, and operation are consistent with company policy and rules, approved procedures, and license provisions; to review important proposed plant changes, tests, experiments, and procedures; to assure that unusual events are promptly investigated and corrected in a canner which reduces the probability of recurrence of such events; and to detect trends which may not be apparent to a day to day observer. For convenience of administration of the program, the review and audit program is divided into the construction phase and the operation phase.

13.4.1 Review And Audit - Construction Review and audit during design and construction of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station is a part of the quality assurance program which is described in Chapter 17.1. This program does not utilize a formal review and audit committee, as such; however, through a comprehensive system of planned audits, compliance with all aspects of the quality assurance program are verified. Audits are performed on the design organizations, the construction site, and vendor facilities. The review and audit function during design and construction is fully described in Chapter 17.1.

13.4.2 Review And Audit - Test And Operation Review and audit during test and operation of the Shoreham Plant is an integral part of the LILCO quality assurance program. Provisions are established for a comprehensive system of planned and periodic audits to verify implementation of quality assurance program requirements. These review and audit functions are fully described for the operational phase in Chapter 17.2, and for the transition phase from construction to operation, in Chapter 17.lD. In addition, LILCO will utilize a formal committee method for review and audit, functioning at two levels: (1) at the station operation level, the Review of Operation Committee (ROC); and (2) at the corporate level, the Nuclear Review Board (NRB), which is Independent of direct responsibility for plant operation.

Normally, the audit functions of these committees will be carried out by subcommittees which ma under the cognizance of the particular committee.

The review and audit progran has been established to assure that the operation of the plant is in conformance with established operating procedures, license provisions, and quality assurance requirements, and to review and approve changes to station systems /

equipment and procedures as described in the FSAR, or tests and experiments, which may not constitute an unreviewed nuclear safety question, as defined in 10CFR Part 50.59. All unreviewed safety questions and changes to Technical Specifications will

  • be reviewed by NRB as described below.

A csntinuing review is performed by the ROC to monitor plant operations, to plan future activities, and to screen subjects that might be of interest to the NRB.

Guidance in the development of the essential elements in LILCO's review and audit program for tests and operations was derived from ANSI standard N18.7 " Standard for Administrative Controls for Nuclear Power Plants" (1972). Devclopment of the LILCO Quality Assurance Audit program is described in Chapter 17.

13.4-1 1/11/82
