5.3.3 Procedures and revisions which control quality-related work programs and activities, performed by STPEGS organizations described in Chapter i.0 are reviewed by QA as defined in this chapter.
5.4 Organir.ational Independence 5.4.1 The reporting arrangement utilized by the NA Department ensures that those personnel charged with responsibility for verifying compliance with QA Program requirements have the organizational freedom to:
5.4.1.1 Identify quality problems.
5.4.1.2 Initiate, recommend, or provide solutions.
5.4.1.3 Verify implementation of solutions.
5.4.2 The reporting arrangement, as illustrated on Attachment I, of Chapter 1.0, is such that personnel responsible for verifying compliance with quality requirements do not have direct responsibility for the performance of that work.
5.4.3 The General Manager, NA, provides technical and administrative direction to the QA Managers in the areas of audits, surveillances, quality engineering, inspection, and material testing.
5.5 QA Program 5.5.1 HL&P has established the operations QA Program for the operations phase of the STPEGS, which includes testing, operation, maintenance, refueling, inservice inspection, and modification. The HL&P Nuclear QA Program for the operations phase requires that HL&P, its contractors, subcontractors, and vendors comply with the criteria established by 10CFR Part 50, Section 50.55a; 10CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 1; 10CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and 10CFR Part 71 Sub-Part H.

5.6 Delegation of QA Functions '
i 5.6.1 During normal operations the QA Program will be !
executed by STPEGS personnel, who may be ,
assisted by subcontract personnel. During '
refueling, maintenance, and inservice -1 inspection, first-level quality control l inspection and nondestructive examination (NDE) '
activities may be subcontracted. However, STPEGS will retain responsibility for the total QA Program, and STPEGS NA personnel will perform audits and surveillance (s) of subcontracted QA activities.
5.6.2 When first-level quality control inspection and NDE are performed by STPEGS personnel, they are i qualified and certified in accordance with I applicable codes, standards, procedures, and other regulations. Monitoring and surveillance ;
of the quality control and NDE activities shall '
be performed by Operations QA personnel.
5.7 Identification of Safety-Related Items and Services 5.7.1 The STPEGS QA Program described herein is.
applied to all activities affecting the safety-related functions of those structures, systems, !
and components which prevent, or mitigate the consequences of, postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The safety-related structures, i systems, and components controlled by the QA l Program are listed in UFSAR Section 3.2, along with their associated fire protection systems.
UFSAR Section 3.2 also identifies those quality-related structures, systems, and components (in addition to fire protection systems) which are not safety-related but to which the STPEGS Operations QA Program is applied.

OPERATIONS QUALITY ASSURANCE PIAN PMx 5 or 14 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION trr m DATE 5.7.2 The fire protection QA Program is part of the overall STPEGS operations QA Program and is:
therefore under the management control of QA.
Fire protection QA Program criteria are being implemented as part of the HL&P Operations QA Program, as defined in this OQAP.
5.7.3 Expendable or consumable items necessary for the functional performance of safety-related structures, systems, and components are subjected to quality assurance requirements as specified t.n written procedures. These procedures include provisions for review and control in sccordance with industry standards and specifications and the safety-related function of the expendable or consumable item.
5.8 Development of the QA Program 5.8.1 Tre Operations QA Program was fully implemented 90 days prior to initial fuel loading. The,QA Program shall be in effect throughout the operatirig life of the STPEGS. .
5.9 QA Program Documents 5.9.1 The QA Program shall be implemented with ,
documented instructions, procedures, and drawings which include appropriate quantitative and qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that prescribed activities have been satisfactorily accomplished, Procedures shall include the control of the sequence of required inspections, tests, and other operations when important to quality. To ,
change these controls, the individual procedure must be changed and shall require the same review and approval given to the original procedure. Such instructions, procedures, and drawings are reviewed and approved for compliance with requirements appropriate to their safety classification by individuals qualified to do so.
