' 3 .' QUALITY PLAN DESCRIPTION' This QA plan is based upon the standard GE-NE Quality Assurance Program shown in Appendix A and additional information-provided herein. The standard program is used throughout_GE-NE on all BWR' nuclear power, plant work and has-
- been accepted by the NRC, It is in full compliance with the Title 10, Code of.
Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix B; ANSI /ASME N45.2; ANSI /ASME N45.2-series standards; and NRC Regulatory. Guides with some NRC-accepted:GE Nuclear Energy alternate positions.
The Department of Energy (DOE), in Order 5700.6A, " Quality Assu; ice",
states that " maximum use should be made of existing quality assurance practices which are determined to be suitable to support program needs and objectives",-
and, "where existing quality assurance standards, such as RDT F2-2 and ANSI /ASME N45.2 are extensively'used, and_are considered. adequate,_they may.
continue to be applied, particularly where detailed-implementing procedures-are well established, personnel are trained in their use, and.their conversion.to another standard would not be cost effective." In line with this philosophy.
-GE-NE will apply the appropriate procedures from-its standard system to this contract.
GE policies, procedures, and instructions shown in matrix form in Section IV of this plan implement the Basic Requirements and the_ Supplements of.
NQA-1-1983 and its addenda for the SBWR Design and. Certification Program.
Design work performed by GE-NE shall comply with appropriate sections.of Appendix A and the' applicable implementing procedures. In' addition, members of, the SBWR Team regularly working at GE-NE's home office.will receive _ appropriate indoctrination and training to. assure that they understand and comply with GE's QA program.

- evaluated'and accepted byLGE-NE'as described in' Appendix-A and Section jlV of.
this plan.
I '- Design'and testing work performed by international tiahnical associates will be performed to the. internal QA programs acceptable to the regulatory authorities of their respective countries. By December 31,'1990, GE-NE will initially review and evaluate the portions of'their QA' programs applied to thel ,
1 SBWR for compliance with NQA-1-1983 and its addenda. If deficiencies are found, special QA procedures will'be developed and applied to attain ~
~
equivalence. After initial acceptance, it'is' planned to: perform QA1 reviews -
approximately annually to assure that their QA programs'are effectively implemented- .
Work of a preliminary scoping, or consultive nature ~will be controlled-under'GE-NE's or a subcontractor's QA program if it is incorporated into'the final SBWR design.

This scope of supply ircludes.ruclear staan supply systes (NSSS),
services, ard tuclear fuel. Systms, services, and wiguwits, ircluded in the scope of supply are considered " safety-related" if they prevent or mitigate the consequerres of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The quality of any systems, services, or.
cmponents rot classified " safety related" is controlled in accordance with the icportance of the overall furetions to be perfcuned by tinse itms.
The Ikelear Regulatory Cmrnission (IEC) will be given rotification of progrannatic changes in the @
Progran as described herein, prior to inplenentation, except changes Mitch do roc decrease the effective-russ of the progran, or those that reflect organizational changes. Organizational changes affecting the

A brief description of the purpose and scope of each of the key de=me types governing @
activities which denanstrate the inpimentation of the @ Progra is presented below:
General Electric Corporate t'mpany-Vide Quality Policy (No. 20.1). 'Ibe Gereral Electric Corporate Qupany-Wide Quality Policy, issued by the Corporate Eramrive Office, states. quality considerations and requirments applicable to all General Electric products and services.

NEDO-112G9 3-31-89 GE tkclear Energy Qaality Policy (ib. 7N). The GEE Quality Policy, issued by the GDE Vice President l8 and General Manager, interprets tin Corporate Cmparry-Wide Qaality Policy and provides inplementirg direction to the GRE organizations. Etis doctrent, which is part of the GDE Policies ani Procedures doctrentation systs, establishes tiu quality policy for GRE products and services, assigns quality-related responsibilities, and identifies interrelationships for policy inplmentation. The GDE Quality Policy is applicable to all GUE organizations ard specifically requires that each CDE organization be in full empliance with the applicable requirements of Cmpany Policy 20.1, Cmpany-Wide Quality, and applicable GUE P6Ps referenced therein.
GCE Qaality-Related Procedures. The GDE Procedures are issued by authority of the GRE Vice President and General Manager and/or GEE Staff-level canagers to establish procedures ard practices for those quality systs elments requiring unifonn consideration ard application by several or all organizations within the GRE.1hese policies arri procedures are part of of the GDE P6P ard are supplemental to the l8 GUE Quality Policy. They provido inpimenting direction in those areas where a stardardized, unifonn approach is demed necessary by the GDE canagement. Listed below are the key quality-related GDE Procedures:
o Quality System Requirensts (ib. 70-11):
'Ihis procedure supplments GUE Policy tb 70-1 and establishes the minfrun quality system require-cents to be inplemented by GDE organizations in fulfilling licensing cm:nitments, contracts, and intenul requisitions for the sale, lease, or transfer of GCE products and services to a custmer.
l8 o Personnel Proficiency in Quality-Related Activities (tb. 70-30):
This procedure supplements GCE Policy Ib. 70-1 and Procedure 10. 70-11 and establishes the mininun personnel proficiency requirments to be inpimented within the GEE in support of the QA Program, o Peporting of Defects and Nancmpliance under 10GFR21 (tb. 70-42):
This procedure provides direction for GDE cmpliance with the requirments of tRC Regulation 10CFR21, Reportir6 Defects ard Ibncmpliance. Standard practices are established for all GCE organizations for identifying, hmMng, evaluating, ard reportir6 potential defects in any licensed nuclear facility or activity, or nonempliance with the provisions of an tRC regulatory requirement relating to a substantial safety hazard.
Quality Assurance Program Manuals and Doctment Systems. Docments describing the y Program and prescrib- "
ing the detailed quality-telaced activities of irdividual organizations are prepared, issued, and maintaired by the responsible organizations, such as: engineering, marufacturir6, and quality. assurance.
Such doctrnentation consists of, e.g., engineering operatirg procedures, QA plans and procedures, ard inspection and test plaming. Key mamals and doctrent systms are:

Each GE &R offered for sale is of a current product line which has been engineered as a " Standard Plant" design for several ratings. The "Staniard Plant" designs, and clunges thereto, are reviewed for-conformance to GE procbet safety standards and to applicmble NRC regulations independent of sales emmit<
ments, and are updated as necessary to assure empliarce with chages to these stardards and regulations.
Faiifications to the "Stardard Plant" for a parHcnlar sale are made only pursuant to the contract with the Owner, provided safety and warranty conditions are not adversely affected. Since each ruclear systm sale (called " project" after sale is made) is based on a " Standard Plant", it is ret necessary to' repeat the review of the "Stardard Plant" design doctantatico for each project, but only to review the rodifi-cations, if any, for each project.
The GDE engineering organtvaHms define ard A~-ne acceptable and approved materials, parts, equiprent, and processes. The definition is av'rmted in controlled design . maruals ard ' standard specifications. Stardard off-the-shelf edal itms are irc1mba. The stardard specifications are reviewed, approved, and issued in accordance with the! engineering review systs. In addition, all' equipent designers have available to the direct consultation services of materials engineers dring the design action and design review phases.

3.8 DESIGi VITIFICATIQ1
, Desip verification is a process for an independent review of designs against design requireents to confinn that the designer's methods and conclusions aru consistent with requirenents, and that the resulting design is adequate for its specified purpose. Product designs and each application thereof are verified, consistent with contract requiremnts. Design veritt:ation is perfonmd and thc=nrad by persons other than those responsible for the design using the mthod specified by the design organiza-tion. 'Ihe methods of design verification include one or note of the following' design review, qmlifica-tion testing, alternate or sinplified calculations, or checking. When qualification testing is used as the sole mans of verifying design adequacy, a prototype or initial pro &ction unit is tested under the nest adverse operational coniitions expected to be experienced by the product (see Itan 1 of Table 3-1).
For a given application, to additional verification is required for spare arxi renewal parts which are the sam as those originally supplied. If spare or renewal parts for an application are of a modified or different design fran the original design, the differences between the new part and the original part '
are verified for the application. If spare or renewal parts are used in a new application (a different systan, different power plant, etc.) the designs are verified for the differences between the new and old application.
3.9 TEAM DESIGN REVIDI A tean design review is a formal independent evaluation of designs by persons other than those directly respcusible arri accountable for the design 'Ibese activities are ongoing reviews of designs, selected by engineering management to evaluate the adequacy of product designs ixx:luding concepts, the design process, ethods, analyHen1 codels, criteria, materials, applications, or development programs.
When appbplate, design reviews are used to verify that product designs rneet functional, contractual, safety, regulatory, in&strial codes and starriards, and GDE requiremnts. 'Ihe design review tem selection depends on the pro &ct design and thn type of review. 'Ibe tean's technical empetence will fall into three broad categpries: (1) those with' broad experience on _ similar proicts, (2) those with speciali=4 technical expertise such as in heat transfer, meerials, structural analysis, etc., and (3) those with a functional expertise such as umWacmang engireering, product service, legal, etc. (see Itan 3 of Table 3-1).

The control procedure requires that every change cust be docunented, design verified, approved by the responsible engireer, and reviewed by the. appropriate interfacing ccxaponents. The responsible engireer is charged with the responsibility for defining all other design docanents affected by the change, ard for resolving and coordinating changes with other engineers shose docunents are affected. h Engineering Qunge Notice (MT) is used for docunenting the change and its approval, h mis are identified, issued, and controlled in accordance with documnted procedures. Copies of the mis are distrikted to design interface personnel, includfrg the responsible engineer who approved the change, the project uanager, and to engineering, unrufacturing, purchasing, ard Q4 personnel in other organizations, as appropriate. Design changes affecting interface corriitions between Owner-supplied ard gg supplied equipent are identified and reviewed by the project manager with the Owner or his desig-nated representative. Such documnted changes are transmitted by the project nana6er to tM Nner or his designated representative for inplermntation of design and field chmges, as appropriate, in his inter-facing scope of supply.
3.11 FIELD QWE CDUEDL After delivery of equipnent and during the installation and startup phases at the plant site, field changes that becane recessary fall into tuo general classes: first, those generated by design changes, and second, those initiated in the field as a result of unique field corriitions. In order to acccrplish a field change on M furnished ww=Es, the responsible engineer processes a design change in accordance with Subsection 3.10, " Design Qunge Control", arxi isstes a Field Disposition Instrtetion (FDI) which identifies the ccuporents affected, the changes to be made, the parts to be replaced, the source of the replacenent parts, the disposition of the parts replaced, the procedures to be followed in making the cMnge, and the quality rec irments to be net. The responsible engireer is also responsible for providing instructions for the curufacture or procurment of the replacerent parts, as applicable, ard for assuring that instructions are issued for other projects requiring such changes. The design documntation supporting the IDI is subjected to a design verification review and is reviewed by th project engireer. The field change is then authorized by the project manager prior to distribution of the FDI.
Een it becmes necessary to ship products to the site before curufacturing is ccuplete (ship short) either by M or its suppliers, an FDI is issued which identifies the work to be ca:pleted in the field.
Such FDIs identify tk necessary engineering ard quality requirements.
Changes initiated by field organizations generally are the result of deviations frcin the planned construction or preoperational conditions. In order to initiate action to accarplish a field change on :
GENE furnished cuupnits, the field organization generates a Field Deviation Disposition pequest (FD[R) which identifies the deviation ard the proposed changes to correct or carpensate for the deviation. h engineering and project mucwmum organizations review the FD[R for ccepliance with the established design criteria acd for safety, performmce, ard furetional design requirements. If the proposed method is found to be satisfactory, the IDIR is then reviewed ard released for field inpleentation. If the the proposed cethod ' for correction cbes tot cccply with the established criteria arri requirenents, responsible engineer disapproves the ID[R, and an alternate solution is presented by modification of the FDER or by issuing an approved FDCR. If an IDIR results in a design change, _ docuents are ebnged by the use of the RN.
