/bHE ATT ACHED PAGES IN THE INDICATED QA PROGRAM MANU AL AND DESTROY THOSE REPLACED O The attached B&W Puel Company (BWFC) Quality Assurance Program Manual for Spent Fuel and Waste Technology Services (Document No.
56-1168014-02) is a amplete revision of the previous manual (56-1168014-01).
It is effective as of August 23, 1990, and it will be fully implemented by October 23, 1990.
The revised manual
- reflects, in essence, the same basic QA requirements as the previous manual.
- However, the following changes and/or additions are worthy to note 1.
The revised manual includes an organization name change from
" Spent Fuel & High Level Waste Services" to " Spent Fuel &
Waste Technology Services" 2.
The revised manual incorporates the functions and responsibilities of the BWFC QA organization which was formed in June, 1989.
3.
The revised manual changes the relationship between BWFC and the Commercial Nuclear Fuel Plant (CNFP).
It treats CNFP as the manuf acturing and field operations arm of BWFC rather than as a " supplier" to BWFC.
4.
The revised manual replaces the BWFC 09-1212-04 QA Specification a. the BWFC QA requirements for safety related work performed by CNFP.
CNFP will implement the requirements of this manual through lower tier QA plans for its-manufacturing and field operations.
These plans will ultimately replace the existing CNFP QA Program Manuals for Nuclear Fuel & Associated Components and Field Operations.
1 This replacement will take place over the next several months.
5.
The revised manual follows the guidelines of the NRC Standard Review Plan for QA Preycums (NUREG-0800 Rev. 2).
6.
The revised manual contains an Appendix which describes the l
BWFC positions on the quality related NRC Regulatory Guides.
l These positions are basically the same as those in the NRC l
accepted BWFC QA Topical Report 10096A Rev.
4.
7.
The revised manual contains an Addendum which establishes the QA requirements for non-safety related work, i
l l

2 QUALITY ASSURANCE PAOGRAM 2
2m 1 SCOPE This Quality Assurance Program (QAP) takes into account the prerequisites for achieving
- quality, such as the need for specialized equipment and skills; use of suitable administrative, process, and environmental controls; training and indoctrination of personnel performing activities affecting quality; and the need for verification of quality by inspection and test.
It also provides for the development, control and use of computer programs.
The classification of items and services as safety related is made and documented by the responsible engineering and project management functions.
The criteria for determining this classification is defined in Appendix C and is contained in a BWFC procedure which is based on Regulatory Guide 1.26 and which makes allowances for consideration of other criteria that
..ay be specified by contract.
The criteria for classification corresponds to DOE Documents DOE /RW-0032 and DOE /RW-0103 as follows:
(a)
Safety related (DOE Quality Levels 1 & 2):
Items or services that have significant potential impact on public radiological healch and safety; and/or potential impact on public and/or occupational radiological health as required by 10CFR20; public and occupational
- safety, and/or the attainment of other major programmatic objectives (e.g. cost-benefit optimization, schedule maintenance, environmental protection, etc.) are classified as safety related and are controlled under the provisions of this Manual.
(b)
Non Safety related (DOE Quality Level 3):
i Items or services that have minor or no potential impact on the factors identified above for the safety related l
classification are classified as non-safety related and are, as a minimum, controlled by assurance measures in accordance with good management, engineering, or laboratory practices e s

review, approval, release, distribution, and revision of documents in accordance with contract terms.
The Project Managers coordinate design interfaces with the Customer.
3.4 DESIGN VERIFICATION Procedures are provideu to assure verification of designs.
Verification methods include independent review of design documents, design analyses (calculations), design review boards, and design verification testing.
The design organization determines design verification methods to be used.
3.4.1 Indeoendent Review of Desian Documents l
All design documents are independently reviewed for completeness and technical accuracy.
The reviewer may be any technically qualified indP";ual other than the preparer of the document.
In certain instances, the reviewer may be the preparer's supervisor or manager as explained in the BWFC position on Regulatory Guides 1.28 (Rev 3) and 1.64 (Rev 2) contained in Appendix A.
3.4.2 Desian Analysag Design analyses (calculations) are used to establish design requirements or to verify the design.
The analyst is required to I
document the calculations as to purpose, assumptions, method, input data, results, and conclusions in such a manner that an independent reviewer can verify its cechnical accuracy independent of the analyst.
Design analyses are checked by independent reviewers who are competent in the particular type of analysis being checked.
Computer programs used for design analyses are verified and certified for use.
3.4.3 Desian Review Boards (DRB)
DRBs are convened and conducted in accordance with written procedures which define the conditions under which DRBs are held and the topics to be considered.
They are convened for new designs and major changes to existing designs as determined by responsible Engineering and Project Managers.

B&W MML COMPANY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM SPENT FUEL & WASTE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES SECTION SUBJECT REV ION NO 3
DESIGN CONTROL 2
DRBs consist of a Chairman and othcr members, as required, who are technically competent but are independent of ths design under review.
QA representation on DRBs is optional and is at the discretion of the Manager of QA.
A DRB verifies the adequacy of a design by assuring that it is based on sound technical principles and that it meets specified requirements.
DRBs may be conducted at the conceptual, preliminary, and/or final design stages.
In any event, they are completed, as appropriate, prior to release for procurement, manufacture, shipment, or to another organization for use in other design activities.
In those cases where this timing cannot be met, completion of portions of the DRB may be deferred, provided that the justification for this action is documented and the unreviewed portions of a design are identified and controlled.
Results of DRBs are documented and the responsible engineering manager must resolve DRB comments, as necessary, to close out the DRB.
3.4.4 Desian Veri fication Testina Design verification by testing is used whenever engineering judgment leads to the conclusion that design analyses or previous experience cannot substantiate a design or design feature.
It includes testing under the design conditions as described in Regulatory Guide 1.64 (see Appendix A).
Design verification testing is conducted by the test organization using written test procedures which incorporate the requirements of design specifications that establish the design limits of the items or features being tested.
If verification of a design or design feature is solely by test, the testing is conducted under the most adverse design conditions as determined by analysis.
Test results are reviewed by the responsible engineering organization to determine if they verify the design or design feature tested.
3.5 DESIGN CHANGES Design changes, including field changes, are subject to the same design controls that were applicable to the original design and they are documented, reviewed, approved and incorporated into the design documents as described in written procedures.

7 CONTROL OF PURCHASED ITEMS & SERVICES 2
1 7.1 GENERAL As a function of the overall QA Audit Program, QA avaluat:s the
[-
capability of suppliers of safety related items and services and maintains a list of approved suppliers.
The list is supported by pre-award evaluations and periodic supplier quality program audits.
BWFC exercises control over each supplier by (1) imposing QA program requirements on the supplier through the procurement documents, (2) performing QA audits of the supplier's QA Program, (3) monitoring of the procurement process for compliance with L
procedures, (4) source inspection or surveillance at the supplier's facility (as deemed necessary or appropriate), and (5) receiving inspection at CNFP (for items to be used by CNFP).
7.2 SUPPLIER EVALUATION AND SELECTION When soliciting bids, Purchasing reviews the approved supplier list (See Section 7.3) for possible suppliers to whom an inquiry will be forwarded, as necessary; taking into consideration the supplier's past performance and quality history.
Supplier responses to requests for bids are reviewed to determine overall acceptability of the supplier.
Exceptions to QA requirements are reviewed by QA.
In the event an inquiry is sent to a supplier that has not been approved by QA, QA will be advised of this and a pre-award audit may be required.
Purchasing will not place a safety related-order with a supplier until such supplier has been evaluated by QA and approved for order placement.
The evaluation of suppliers before the award-of a contract and during contract performance is accomplished in accordance with Section 18.
The acceptability of suppliers of safety related items and/or services is based on one or more of the following items:
(a)
The current ability of the supplier to comply with _ QA requirements applicable to the type of items and/or services being procured.
(b)
A review of previous records and performance of suppliers 4 c have supplied items and/or services similar to the type being procured.

calibration when M&TE is found to be out of calibration, including identification of M&TE used.
12.2 IMPLEMENTATION The CNFP system for the control of M&TE encompasses ' the above requirements.
It is the responsibility of Q&S to assure-that M&TE used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted to maintain accuracy within necessary limits.
It-is also their responsibility to assure that proper procedures are followed for active gages, measuring devices and inspection fixtures used to verify and certify item conformance with specified requirements.
If production tooling or fixtures are used as an accessory inspection medium, such items are also subject to the control program for M&TE.
Suppliers of M&TE and of calibration services for M&TE or reference standards are required by the procurement documents to have effective system for the calibration of M&TE.
Manufacturers of M&TE or calibration service suppliers utilized to calibrate M&TE or reference standards are audited and approved by QA to appropriate standards such as MIL-STD-45662, " calibration System Requirements."
State and federal agencies such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology are exempted from this requirement.
Alternatively, the acceptability of calibration services performed by'an unaudited supplier may be confirmed / verified by having the-same item, prior to use, calibrated by another supplier.
If the other supplier finds the item-to be within calibration, then the item is acceptable for use.
This comparison of calibrations is
' documented by Q&S and neither supplier need be audited and approved by QA.

15.2.3 Desian Deficiency Reoort (DDR)
DDRs are initiated by BWFC personnel with the concurrence of the cognizant manager to report an error discovered in any issued BWFC
[
prepared design document.
DDRs define the cause of the error, the action to correct the error and any subsequent corrective action.
The responsible project manager concurs with the action outlined by the DDR.
15.3 CNFP MANUFACTURING NONCONFORMANCES
[
Nonconforming items detected during receiving, in-process, or final d
inspections are tagged as described in Section 14 and documented on a Component Discrepancy Report (CDR).
Nonconforming items are not processed past the next release point until proper disposition of the nonconformance.
For those manufacturing operations where the nonconformance condition can be corrected by a continuation of the original manufacturing process or where it is suitable to define the rework and subsequent reinspection between release points on the Route Card, a CDR is not required.
The in-process nonconformance is noted on the inspection report and the rework and reinspection are documented on the Route Card.
CDRs are submitted to Manufacturing Engineering for review and determination of cause, corrective action, and a recommended disposition.
Data Evaluation reviews the recommended disposition and final disposition is rendered by the Manager of Data Evaluation.
Disposition and subsequent actions may be as follows:
- rework, restricted use, return to supplier, repair, scrap, or submit to the responsible design organization for approval via a Contract Variation Approval Request (CVAR).
Definition of rework, repair,
='
and scrap are contained in Appendix C.
Restricted use disposition limits the use of the nonconforming item to special applications or situations.
Rework or repair activities are performed in accordance with approved methods or procedures and reinspected to the original criteria or to criteria established for the acceptability of the rework or repair.
If the nonconformance is a violation of requirements imposed by the responsible design organization, a CVAR or customer equivalent document must be prepared and submitted to the responsible design organization for approval to repair, use the item as is, or for e
restricted use of the item (See Section 15.5).

15.4 SUPPLIER NONCONFORMANCES Supplier nonconformances enter the BWFC system in one of three
~
ways:
r (a)
By the submittal of a written request by a supplier for approval of nonconformances that violate requirements of BWFC procurement documents or BWFC approved supplier drawings, specifications, or procedures and the supplier wishes to repair the nonconforming item or use-as-is.
This request L
takes the form of a CVAR as described in Section 15.5 for procurement initiated by BWFC Old Forest Road personnel and o
for procurement initiated by CNFP personnel, it is converted l-into a CDR and processed as described in Section 15.3.
(b)
By audit findings initiated by QA to identify nonconformances found during supplier audits as described in Section 18.
(c)
By nonconformance reports issued by QA/Q&S to document nonconformances detected during source inspections or surveillance as described in Section 7.
Resolution of (b) and (c) may result in the submittal of supplier requests for approval of the nonconformances as described in- (a) above.
15.5 CONTRACT VARIATION APPROVAL REOUEST (CVAR) 15.5.1 _CNFP CVARs CVARs may result from the processing of CDRs as described in Section 15.3.
CVARs are prepared by Data Evaluation using-the relevant CDR as a base and evaluated by Manufacturing Engineering.
The completed CVAR, which describes the nonconformance, cause, corrective action, and recommended disposition is submitted to the responsible design organization for review and evaluation.
CVARs dispositioned as repair must either have the repair procedures attached or indicate that the repair will be performed in l
accordance with a procedure approved by the responsible design organization.
When the responsible design organization is a BWFC organization, the CVARs are evaluated for acceptability as described in Section 15.5.3.

15 CONTROL OF NONCONFORNING ITEMS 2
Upon ' receipt of the dispositioned CVAR, Data Evaluation will initiate appropriate actions consistent with the disposition, i.e.,
disapproved, approved for use-as-is, approved for repair using a repair procedure approved by the responsible design organization, or approved for restricted use.
The disposition of a CVAR may be transmitted, as the need dictates, by oral communication to Data Evaluation.
In such cases, the communication is documented by Data Evaluation with a copy to the design organization representative who verbally authorized the CVAR disposition.
This verbal disposition -is considered as proper authorization for Data Evaluation to proceed in accordance with the instructions of the disposition.
An item will not be certified until a final copy of the dispositioned CVAR is received.
15.5.2 SuDolier CVARs CVARs may result from supplier nonconformances as discussed in Section 15.4.
The CVAR (or equivalent supplier document) is prepared by the supplier and includes his determination of cause, corrective action, and recommended disposition, i.e.,
repair or use-as-is.
Repair disposition must be accompanied with a repair procedure or indicate the repair will be performed in accordance with a BWFC approved repair procedure.
The supplier trancmits the completed CVAR to BWFC for evaluation by the responsible BWFC design organization as described in Section 15.5.3.
Upon receipt of the dispositioned CVAR, the supplier will-initiate
-appropriate actions consistent with the BWFC disposition.
15.5.3 BWFC Desian Oraanization Evaluation of CVARs CVARs which do affect interface, function, or interchangeability are evaluated by the responsible engineer.
CVARs which do affect these parameters are also evaluated by the cognizant project manager for possible notification to the customer or submittal for acceptance as prescribed in the customer's contract.
BWFC disposition of a CVAR may be either approved or disapproved.
Approval of use-as-is dispositions must be justified by the responsible engineering organization either by attaching to or referencing on the CVAR such justification.
Disapproved CVARs may L
indicate the reasons for disapproval or alternate dispositions.

of managers or suparvisors as independent reviewers:
All design documents are independently reviewed for completeness and technical accuracy.
The reviewer may bet i
(a)
Any competent individual other than the preparer of the document as determined by the cognizant manager.
s (b)
The preparer's immediate superviaor provided the supervisor did not prescribe or limit the techniques or inputs used in the design document.
The use of supervisors as reviewers is approved in each instance by the cognizant manager.
i (c)
The preparer's manager provided the manager is.the only technically qualified individuals available.
In this case, the need is documented and approved by the next higher level of management on each l
l occasion.
(d)
QA audits cover the frequency and effective use of supervisors and managers as independent reviewers to guard against abuse.

BWFC satisfies the requirement for internal audits by auditing each applicable element of its Quality Assurance Program at least once during a calendhr year.
External (Supplier) audits are regularly scheduled on the basis of supplier performance, and importance to safety of the activities being performed.
Audit frequency of suppliers, normally between one and three years, may be altered (increased or decrt.ased) based on an annual i
evaluation of the supplier's quality assurance program, L
history of performance, and implementation of that t
program. This evaluation considers the complexity of the i

o Section No. A-2:
Ouality Assurance Procram A-2.1 Scone This QAP for non-safety related products and services takes into account the prerequisitos for achieving quality, such as the need for specialized equipment and skills; use of suitable l
administrative, process, and environmental controls; training l
and indoctrination of personnel performing activities affecting quality; and the need for verification or quality by inopection and test.
The classification of items and services as non-safety related is made and documented by the responsible engineering and project management functions.
The criteria for dctermining this classification is contained in a
BWFC procedure.
Essentially, any item or cervice that does not meet the safety related definition in Appendix C of this Manual is considered to be non-safety related.
As discussed in Manual Section 2.1, the non-safety related classification corresponds to DOE Quality Level 3.
l A-2.2 OAP Recuirements This QAP for non-safety related products and services is L
organized and administered to comply with the Statement of Policy and Authority in the front of this Manual.
It also l
allows for taking into account quality requirements as may be imposed by contract.
