L 17.2.16 Corrective Action Organizations involved in activities covered by the QA program are required to implement corrective action for deficiencies identified I
within their scope of activity.
Noncompliances identified by QA are documented and controlled by issuance of an action request.
QA reviews responses to action requests for adequacy and monitors these i
action requests through periodic summary and status reports to management.
' Responses to action requests are based on the four elements of corrective action, which are:
" 1.
Identification of cause of deficiency a

Action taken or to be take,n to prevent recurrence j

verification.
i Items 3 and 4 are optional for. noncompliances that do not have a significant effect on the QA program.
Proper implementation of corrective action is verified through
.l monitoring or audit, as appropriate.
The station general manager is responsible for assuring that conditions adverse to quality are promptly -identified and corrected j
for all activities involving station operation, maintenance, testing, refueling, and modification.
t Administrative procedures that govern station activities covered by 1
the QA program provide for the timely discovery and correction of nonconformances.
This includes receipt of defective material, failure or malfunction of equipment, deficiencies or deviations of l
I equipment from design performance, and deviations from' procedures.
4 In cases of significant conditions adverse to quality,. the cause of-i the condition is determined, and measures are. established to preclude recurrence.
Such events, together with corrective action taken, are documented and reported as described in Section 17.2;15.
j Corrective action is initiated by the responsible department head.
QA closely monitors station conditions requiring coriective action.
cr.
Repetitive deficiencies, procedure or process violations at-the operational. incidents'.or station that are not classified as reportable occurrences, or nonconformances under the QA program, are documented by QA via the issuance of an action request.
This j
request provides a formal administrative' vehicle to alert management-of conditions adverse to quality that require corrective action.

17.2.17 Quality Assurance Records Records necessary to demonstrate.that activities important to quality have been performed in accordance with applicable requirements are identified and maintained in accordance with f
Regulatory Guide 1.88, as noted in Section 17.2.2.
Documents shall 3
be considered valid records only if stamped or initialed or signed i
and dated by authorized personnel or otherwise authenticated.
Record types, as a minimum, comply with applicable technical specification requirements and include operating logs, maintenance and modification procedures and related inspection results and reportable occurrences.
Design and other QA records are replicated via microform and stored in record facilities at the generating station and at offsite i
locations.
. i The Nuclear Department is responsibic for the permanent storage of i
station records.
The retention period for records; permanent l
storage location; and methods of control, identification, and retrieval are specified by administrative procedure.
Individual
{
station department heads are responsible for submitting applicable j
f department records to the designated location for retention.
17.2.18 Audits e
Audits of PSE6G and supplier organizations that _. implement the QA program are perfctmed by QA to verify compliance with the applicable portions of the program through personnel interview and review of t
applicable documents and records, as required.
An annual audit sched.ule is prepared, identifying audits to be performed and their
(
frequency..
Audits are conducted by audit teams comprised of a certified lead q
auditor and certified auditors, and technical specialists (when deemed necessary).
