The Manager, Quality ,
2-4 Rev. 15 I 6/92
OQAM Assurance is responsible for a system of planned
- audits to assure OQAP compliance, with a frequency commensurate with the Program aspect's safety significance and in accordance with the require-ments of Section 18. He is responsible for conducting audits of offsite and onsite activities.
Deficiencies identified during the audit process are reported to responsible management of the organization involved in the resolution and follow-up to assure corrective action. ,
1799 2.12 The Senior Vice President-Nuclear provides for an 1800 independent assessment of the scope, implementa-tion, and effectiveness of the OQAP to assure compliance with policy, commitments, and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B as set forth in this OQAM. This assessment shall be conducted biennially with a scheduling allowance of plus three months for each assessment and a combined time interval for any three consecutive assessment intervals not to exceed 6.25 years. This assessment may be by representatives of other utilities, outside consultants, or UE management representa-tives. In addition, various reports are issued to the Senior Vice President-Nuclear on a periodic basis to assist his independent assessment of the OQAP (e.g., semiannual QA trend analysis, and peri-l odic QA audit reports).
2.13 Implementation of OQAP controls over activities affecting quality assures achieving the objective of the UE OQAP to provide management with adequate confidence that activities affecting quality regarding the design, installation, modification, and operation of the Callaway Plant are performed consistent with policy. Documentation of the accomplishment of OQAP objectives is maintained in the form of records of data and other maintenance, information as necessary to support operation, repair, modification, refueling, and inservice inspection.
2.14 UE Management has established standards of perfor-mance which exceed those set forth by the Regula-tory Agencies. As a management initiative in this t area, UE has defined the word "must" to impose management directed performance standards in excess of and in addition to established Regulatory directed performance. From the viewpoint of UE employees and UE contractors, there is no differ-ence in the degree of compliance mandated by use of the words "shall" or "must." Compliance with actions initiated by use of either "shall" or "must" is audited and surveilled by the QA Depart-2-5 Rev. 16 6/93
OQAM ment. Failure to implement a "must" mandated activity requires corrective action in the same way as failure to implement a "shall" mandated activ-ity. However, from an external viewpoint, inter-nally imposed "must" requirements (i.e., those in excess of Regulatory requirements) are not intended-to be subject to enforcement action. "Must" is defined in Appendix A of this OOAM under Regulatory ,
Guide 1.74.

OOAM 1864 3.0 DESIGN CONTROL 2183 2974 1850 3.1 The design, modification, addition, and replacement and compo-2168 of safety-related structures, systems, appropriate 2185 nents shall be controlled to assure 2189 design control measures are implemented. Procedures 2222 shall establish requirements; assign responsibil-2187 ities; and provide control of activities regarding controlled, and orderly 2193 design in a planned, manner.
The Plant design is defined by those UE NSSS, A/E 2188 3.2 and selected supplier design drawings and specifi-arrangement cations which illustrate the general and details of safety-related structures, systems, and components and define the requirements for assuring their continued capability to perform their intended operational or safety design func-tion.
2664 3.3 As the result of operating experience, or as systems neces-sitated by regulatory requirements, Plant and equipment may have to be changed. A design change is a modification in Plant design or opera-and is accomplished in accordance codes, with tion requirements and limitations of applicable standards, specifications, licenses, and predeter-mined safety restrictions. An alteration of Plant by equipment, structures or systems, which is not by nature operational, maintenance or replacement like kind, is considered a design change.
1850 3.4 Maintenance or modifications which may affect func-tioning of safety-related structures, systems, or components shall be performed in a manner to ensure quality at least equivalent to that specified in original design bases and requirements, materials specifications and inspection requiremants. A suit-able level of confidence in structures, systems, or components on which maintenance or modifications have been performed shall be attained by appro-priate inspection and performance testing.
2184 3.5 Design, including related procurement efforts, may 2189 be carried out by Nuclear Engineering, Licensing 2222 and Fuels, or outside organizations.
2164 3.6 Control of design shall be specified in procedures.

i DISCUSSION:
UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide with the following clarifications:
With regard to Section 3.2.1 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Gener- ;
ation of Quality Assurance Records: The phrase " completely filled ,
out" is clarified to mean that sufficient information is recorded to fulfill the intended purpose of the record. It is the informa- ;
tion, not the form, that is the record. Thus the information, not i the form, needs to be complete to furnish documented " evidence of '
activities affecting quality".
1 With regard to Section 3.2.2 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Index: q The phrase "an index" is clarified to mean a collection of docu-I ments or indices which, when taken together, supply the informa-tion attributed to "an index" in the Standard.

The specific location of a record "within a storage area" may not be delineated. (e.g. The specific location within a computer record file may not be constant. Further, UE may utilize a computer assisted random access filing system where such location could not be readily " documented," or would such a location be
" relevant.") The storage location shall be delineated, but where of a file locations change with time, the specific location record within that file may not always be documented.
With regard to Section 4.2 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Timeli-ness: UE's contractual agreement with its contractors and supp-liers shall constitute fulfillment of the requirements of this Section. .
With regard to Section 5.3.3 of ANSI N45.2.9-1974: The phrase "A method for verifying that the records received are in agreement with the transmittal document and that the records are in good condition", is clarified to mean that internal Callaway Plant generated records received are in agreement with procedural guid-elines contained in Callaway Plant Administrative procedures. If a transmittal does exist (e.g. on supplier-generated documents, etc.), the records received will be verified against the trans-mittal document.
The following clarification is substituted for the current subsection 5.4.3: " Provisions shall be made for special processed records (such as radiographs, photographs, negatives, microfilm and magnetic media) to prevent damage from excessive light, stacking, electromagnetic fields, temperature and humidity as appropriate to the records type." Consideration shall be given to manufacturer's recommendation. l With regard to Section 5.5 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Safe-keeping: Routine General Offices and Plant site security systems and access controls shall be provided: no special security systems are required to be established for record storage areas.
With regard to Section 5.6 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Facil-ity: This Section provides no distinction between temporary and permanent facilities. To cover temporary storage, the following clarification is added: " Active records (those completed but not yet duplicated or placed on microfilm) may be temporarily stored in one-hour fire rated file cabinets. In general, records shall not be maintained in such temporary storage for more than three-months after completion without being duplicated (for dual stor-age) or being placed on microfilm. Open-ended documents --those revised or updated on a more-or-less continuing basis over an extended period of time (e.g. personnel qualification and training documents, equipment history cards, master audit or master surveillance schedules) and those which are cumulative in A-25 Rev. 16 6/93

Paragraph 4, subsection 9 is clarified to read: "No pipes or penetrations except those providing fire protection, lighting, control, or communications are to be temperature / humidity located within the facility and they shall comply with a minimum two-hour fire protection rating."
or Where duplicate storage is employed, no special precautions provisions (including vault storage, special humidity and tempe-rature recorders and similar items) are required.

r OOAP POLICY /INTROAUCTION C.oy P p ,g g%gm,l It is t olicy of Union Electric Company (UE) to develop, implement, d maintain an Operating Quality Assurance Program (OQAP) for -- utilizat4on-faci-14 ties -reguleted- by provisions of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) operating license and amendments thereto. The QA Program shall be applied to those activities affecting quality (safety-related) regarding structures, systems, and components necessary to assure:
- 1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary,
- 2. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, or
- 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in off-site exposures comparable to the guideline exposures of NRC Regulations 10 CFR 100.
These activities include operational testing, operations, maintenance, refueling, and modifications. Control over these activities as they affect quality shall be- to the extent consistent with their importance to safety.
UE Company has established an organization to implement the OQAP as documented in policy, manuals, and procedures. Specific OQAP requirements and corresponding organizational responsibilities are specified in the operating Quality Assurance Manual (OQAM).
The OQAP involves the proper functioning of many disciplines and activities.

Engineering actions performed in accor-dance with this Section of the Standard are conducted with QA/QC involvement and are subject to QA audit. Procedures for these activities receive a cross-disciplinary review as well as review by the Onsite Review Committee (QA is a permanent member of this committee). For other activities, QA auaits and surveillances, and QC inspection activities assure QA/QC involvement.

Power Plants (Endorses ANSI N45.2.2-1972) !
DISCUSSION: !
UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide !
with the following clarifications
- i l
With regard to Section 1.4 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972 titled Defini- l tions: Definitions in this Standard which are not included in ANSI N45.2.10 shall be used; definitions which are included in ANSI N45.2.10 shall be used as clarified in UE's commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.74.
With regard to Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972 titled Plann-ing: (First sentence) The specific items to be governed by the Standard shall be identified in Callaway-SP FSAR Table 3.2-1, which lists those structures, systems and components to which the UE QA Program is applied.
With regard to Section 2.3 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972 titled Results:
The specific methods for performing and documenting tests and inspections are given in OQAM Sections 10 and 11. The require-ments in these Sections shall be implemented in lieu of the general requirements here. In every case either identical or equivalent controls are provided in the sections of the refer-enced Standards or documents.

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.88 (cont.)
The specific location of a record "within a storage area" may not be delineated. (e.g. The specific location within a computer record file may not be constant. Further, UE may utilize a computer assisted random access filing system where such location could not be readily " documented," or would such a location be
" relevant.") The storage location shall be delineated, but where file locations change with time, the specific location of a record within that file may not always be documented.
With regard to Section 4.2 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Timeli-ness: UE's contractual agreement with its contractors and supp-liers shall constitute fulfillment of the requirements of this N, Y l (3 y Section.
The following clarification is substituted for the currant fa1 C 3 A/I subsection 5.4.3: " Provisions shall be made for special processed
(<vgr~ 7 , records (such as radiographs, photographs, negatives, microfilm f* c and magnetic media) to prevent damage from excessive light, stacking, electromagnetic fields, temperature and humidity as appropriate to the records type." Consideration shall be given to manufacturer's recommendation.
With regard to Section 5.5 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Safe-keenino: Routine General Offices and Plant site security systems and access controls shall be provided: no special security systems are required to be established for record storage areas.
With regard to Section 5.6 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Facil-ity: This Section proviCes no distinction between temporary and permanent facilities. To cover temporary storage, the following clarification is added: " Active records (those completed but not yet duplicated or placed on microfilm) may be temporarily stored in one-hour fire rated file cabinets. In general, records shall not be mainteined in such temporary storage for more than three months after completion without being duplicated (for dual stor-age) or being placed on microfilm. Open-ended documents --those revised or updated on a more-or-less continuing basis over an extended period of time (e.g. personnel qualification and training documents, equipment history cards, master audit or master surveillance schedules) and those which are cumulative in nature (e.g. nonconforming item logs and control room log books)-- are not considered as QA records since they are not
" complete." These types of documents shall become QA records when they are issued as a specific revision (e.g., the master audit schedule); when they are filled-up or discontinued (e.g. log books or equipment history cards); on a predefined periodic basis when the completed portion of the on-going document shall be transferred to document control as a " record" (e.g. training and qualification records).

ATTACHMENT 3
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
OQAM, REVISION 16 EXPLANATIONS OF AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE OQAM
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Attachment 3 ULMRC-2809 Page 2 of 4 !
DESCRIPTION OF AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE OPERATING QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUA.L (OQAM)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The bracketed numbers [ ] in this attachment may apply to several changes. The affected OQAM sections are referenced following each justification. It should be noted some sections appear under more than one justification. Based on Union Electric's evaluations, the proposed changes with one exception, do not represent a reduction in the Operating Quality Assurance Program (OQAP) as previously accepted by the NRC. This exception is described in item [3] below and was approved by the NRC on 5/29/92. The OQAM continues to meet the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B.
[1] Organization changes made to improve interdepartment and/or intradepartment coordination and efficiency (Sections 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.11, 1.18, 1.19, 4.5, Appendix A, Reg. Guide 1.8, Reg. Guide 1.146).
[2] Changes to Commitment Tracking System numbers. These numbers appear in the left margin. They are an internal tracking system for UE commitments and have no impact on the stated text. (Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.11, 1.21, 1.22, 3.6, 3.9, 3.14, 3.15, 3.18, 3.19, 4.8.2, 4.9, 4.10, 4.10.1, 4.14, 5.2, 6.1, 7.1.5, 7.3, 7.14, 7.15, 9.1, 9.2, 10.0, 10.9 10.10, 10.11, 10.14, 11.0, 11.8, 11.11, 11.12, 13.7, 15.0, 15.3, 16.0 thru 16.9, 18.1, 18.2, 18.6, 18.7)
[3] Changes made to the QA department's role in the corrective l action program. These changes were presented as a reduction in commitment in ULNRC-2630 dated 5/15/92 and I approved by the Division of Reactor Safety on 5/29/92. l (Sections 16.0 thru 16.9, Appendix A, Reg. Guide 1.144) l
[4] Change to limit on sulfur based on correspondence between UE and the Division of Reactor Safety dated 7/28/92 (ULNRC-2665) and 7/30/92 (NRC approval of change).
(Appendix A, Reg. Guide 1.37)
[5] This change deletes the statement that QC is responsible for assuring personnel performing NDE are qualified and employing approved procedures. This change merely results i
l i
Attachment 3-ULNRC-2809 Page 3 of 4 in the responsibility for this activity being shifted to the organization controlling or coordinating the actual work activity in all cases. As a result, the responsible department or organization must assure-personnel performing any special process are qualified and employing approved procedures. A requirement was also included for QA to perform audits of this specific activity as an added measure of assurance. (Section 9.3)
[6] Added or changed text based on review of Union Electric commitments to various documents. (Sections 1.3, 9.1)
[7] Editorial changes made to remove redundancy, clarify references, clarify terminology, reformat in a more logical sequence or to clarify meaning. (Page lii, Sections 1.6, 2.4, 2.12, 5.7, 7.5, 13.3, 18.8, 18.11, Appendix A, Reg. Guide 1.38, Reg. Guide 1.123).
[8] Changes text to more clearly describe QA review of nonconformance summaries. Because the independent review and reporting are still to be performed by QA, this is not considered to be a reduction in commitment. (Section 15.10)
[9] Clarify endorsement to N45.2.13-1976 to be consistent with
- Reg. Guide 1.58 (Appendix A, Reg. Guide 1.123)
The change clarifies Union Electric's position on this Regulatory Guide to be consistent with Union Electric's commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.58. The change is due to an apparent oversight in previous OQAM revisions.
b I
[10] Remove the Organization Charts, Figures A, B, and C. All references to Figures A, B, and C will be changed to reference Section 13 of the FSAR and Section 1 of the OQAM (Page 11; Sections 1.1, 1.11; Figures A, B, and C).
This change is being made to reduce the duplication of Organization Charts in the OQAM and the FSAR and the burden on UE to maintain these duplicate charts. It has been recognized by the NRC that many of the details shown on Organization Charts are not essential to the safe operation of facilities. In addition, Section 1 of the OQAM clearly describes the organizational elements which i function under the QA Program, and the lines of )
responsibility of these organizational elements. j l
1
Attachment 3 ULNRC-2809 Page 4 of 4
[11] Clarification made to Union Electric's use of ANSI /ANS 3.1-1978 (Appendix A, Reg. Guide 1.8).
This change clarifies when ANSI /ANS 3.1-1978 requirements will be imposed on personnel performing safety related activities. When personnel are performing activities for positions equivalent to those of the unit staff, ANSI /ANS 3.1-178 will be imposed. For new or specialized activities not normally performed by the unit staff, the responsible organization will establish appropriate training, education, and experience requirements for the specific activity on a case-by-case basis. This is viewed by Union Electric as a clarification and is not a reduction in quality assurance or in previous commitments.
