Identifying additional positions or clarifications to Regulatory Guide 1.37, 1.38, 1.54 and 1.123.
(c) Updating ANSI N18.1 from 1971 to 1978.
(d) Adding our position on Regulatory Guide 1.142 (NRC accepted) which previously was not included.
(c) Deleting f rom the appendix Regulatory Guides 1.29 and 1.63 since they do not include QA program requirements.
Because of these changes, revisions to existing procedures and training of appropriate personnel will be necessary before full implementation is achieved. Therefore, full implementation will not be achieved until the end of this year. The currently approved Operational QA Plan will remain in effect until full implementation is achieved.
The new OQA Plan does not decrease the ef fectiveness of the OQA program.

Quality Assurance Plan 2.3.1 Graded Approach The degree to which the requirements of this Plan.and its implementing procedures are applied will be based upon the following:
The importance of a malfunction or failure of the item a.
to safety.
b.
The design and fabrication complexity or uniqueness of the item.
The need for special controls and surveillance or c.
monitoring of processes, equipment and operational activities.
.d.
The degree to which functional compliance can be demon-strated by inspection or test.
The quality history and degree of standardization of the e.
item or activity.
(
\\
\\ _)
The quality requirements for items important to safety will be established using approved procedures based on the " General Logic Considerations" listed in the Appendix to ANSI N45.2.13-1976.
Quality requirements will be established by the responsible department and concurred with by the Quality Assurance Department for those items which are important to safety.
GPUN is committed to a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program consisting of a three-level approach to assure satisfactory and complete implementation of the program commensurate with its requirements for safety and perfomance. The Program's fore-most considerations are the protection of the general public's health and safety.
2.3.1.1 Level I - Activities at this level consist of inspections, checks and tests.
First-level activities include inspections, checks, or tests perfomed for the purpose of establishing acceptance and/or verification of equipment, systems and activities important to safety. Level I activities are performed by the Quality Assurance, Operations, Plant Main-tenance, Radiological Controls, Maintenance and Construction, and contractor personnel.

Operations, Plant Maintenance, Maintenance and Construction and Radiological Controls personnel perform activities such as surveillance tests, calibration of instruments, radiation surveys, analyses of samples valve line ups, pump and valve maintenance and overhaul etc.
Maintenance and Construction and Plant Maintenance personnel perform modification, replacement, repair and overhaul activities.
Quality Control personnel perform receipt inspection and checks and inspections of n.odifications and maintenance activities.
Contractors perform inspections as applicable to their scope of work.
In all cases, the inspection, check and testing activities are performed by individuals who are knoyledgeable of the activity being perfomed and are qualified to perform the work (refer to Section 6.2).
Checklists, weld history records, travelers, etc., are used for documenting the results of the activity and for providing a record of the performance of the activity.
2.3.1.2 Level II - The activities at this level are primarily those of surveillance or monitoring and are performed as deemed
{
necessary by the QA Modifications / Operations or QA Design and Procurement Sections.
The level of surveillance / monitoring i
applied is consistent with the importance of the item to safety l
and the extent of administrative controls utilized for the Level I activity.
For activities where CPUN Quality Control is performing first-level inspection, no second-level activity is required.
At this level, procedures and instructions are established and surveillance records will be completed and maintained.
Such surveillance / monitoring normally includes observation of tests and inspections, observation of selected operations, review of record s, verifications of test reports, and direct inspection on a spot-check basis.

LJ APPENDIX C - PART 2 NRC Regulatory Guide 1.8, Rev.1-R, May 1977 Personnel Selection and Training Guidelines have long been established in the company with respect to awarding jobs to plant maintenance, operations, and other bargaining unit personnel who may be involved in testing, examination and inspec-tion activities. Personnel are qualified in accordance with the. Job Description Manual. GPUN believes that the requirements specified in the Job Description Manual meet the intent, and in many cases, exceed the requirements of ANSI N18.1.
In certain specific cases, we envision that there may be individuals in the future who will be qualified by GPUN beccuse it feels the individual is capable of nerf orming a job even though he does not meet the detailed guidance contained in ANSI N18.1 with respect to length of experience and formal trainiag. The unit staff s and the corporate organizations have been upgraded to meet ANSI N18.1-1978 except as otherwise noted in the Technical Specifications.

1.
For modifications to existing plant systems and for new construc-tion, items will be classified by Technical Functions according to the original design basis or this guide. This classification will not degrade the safety of the system being modified.
2.
Tie-in's to existing plant systems will be made to the same or more recent applicable code, standard and technical requirements which were originally applied to the system to which the tie-in is to be made.

Technical requirements associated with maintenance and modifications shall be the original technical requirements or better (e.g., code rsquirements, material properties, design m-rgins, manufacturing processes, and inspection requirements).
Sections 5.2 and 6.2 of ANSI N45.2.4 list tests which are to be con-ducted during the construction phase.
In lieu of this, GPUN utilizes its Engineering and/or Maintenance organizations to establish the need for specific tests or test procedures during the operational phase.

NRC Regulato ry Guide 1.37, Ma rch 16,1973 Quality Assurance Requirements for Cleaning Fluids Systems and Associated Components of Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The GPUN Quality Assurance Program complies with the regulatory position of this guide with the following clarifications:
1.
The second sentence of paragraph C.3 should be amended to read:
"The water quality for final flushes of fluid systems and associated components shall be at least equivalent to the quality required for normal operation. This requirement does not apply to disolved oxygen or nitrogen limits nor does it infer that -
chromates or other additives normally in the system water will be added to the flush water."
i
\\_ /
2.
Paragraph C.4 should be amended to add:
Material such as inks, temperature indicating crayons, labels, wrapping materials (other than polyethylene), water soluble materials, lubricants, NDT penetrant materials and couplants, which contact stainless steel or nickle alloy material surfaces shall contain no more than trace elements of lead, zinc, copper, mercury or other low melting alloys or compounds.
Maximum allowable levels of water leachable chloride ions, total halogens and sulfur compounds shall be defined and imposed on the afore-mentioned materials.
3.
Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.1 states that required planning is frequently performed on a generic basis for application to many installations on one or more projects. This results in standard procedures or plans for installation and inspection and testing which meet the requirements of the Standard.
Individual plans for each item or system are not normally prepared unless the work operations are unique. However, standard procedures or plans will be reviewed for applicability in each case.
Installation plans or procedures are also limited in score to those actions or activities which are essential to maintain or achieve required quality. This is consistent with Section 11 Paragraphs 2 and 3 of ANSI N45.2-1977 which provides for examination, measurement or I

Quality Assurance Plan testing to assure quality or indirect control by monitoring of processing methods.
However, final cleaning or flushing activi-ties will be performed in accordance with procedures. specific to the system.
4.
Section 4.0 of ANSI N45.2.1 etates that items are not to be delivered to the point of installation sooner than necessary unless the installation location is considered a better storage area. The strategy for the storage of items is based on many factors, one of which is to not adversely affect the items acceptability while in storage.
If other factors make it desirable to store an item at the installation site, and the location is acceptable from a quality standpoint, it is not our intention to eliminate that site as a potential storage area. As an alternate to this requirement, items may be delivered to the installation site sooner than absolutely necessary when determined to be advantageous for other considerations. Example
- reduced handling or easier access, thereby reducing suscepti-bility to handling damage.
In all such cases, equipment stored in place will be protected in accordance with Section 5 of ANSI N45.2.1.
(m) 5.
Section 6.0 of ANSI N45.2.1 states that where environmental con-
/-
\\/
tamination causes degradation of quality, seals are installed and the item is tagged with identifications and instructions for seal removal. GPUN utilizes procedural controls which specify the authorization requirements for seal removal.
" Tags" are not normally utilized.
In that this Quality Assurance Plan applies to operations, many aspects of this standard are not applicable, except possibly on l
rare occasions.
For this reason, GPUN does not intend to have established p.ocedures for all aspects of this ANSI Standard.
NRC Regulatory Guide 1.1R ; lev. 2, May 1977 Quality Assurance Requirements for Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage and Handling of Items for Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The GPUN Quality Assurance Program complies with the regulatory position of this guide with the following modifications or clarifications to' ANSI N45.2.2-1972:
1.
Section 2.7, Classification of Items. The four-level classifica-l tion system for storage of items will be followed, however, the designated classification level may not be explicitly identified on the item. The classification level will, however, be trace-able through the procurement documents. Classification differing s

Quality Assurance Plan from Section 2.7 will be considered acceptable provided no degra-dation is assured; for example, electric motors designed for outside service may be stored in a level C area rather than a level B.
2..
Section 3.2, Levels of Packaging. The four level classification system for packaging of items may not be used explicitly. For commercial grade items standard commercial grade packaging requirements may be specified.
3.
Section 3.6 concerns prevention of halogenated materials from contacting stainless steel or nickel alloy materials.
The clarifications applicable to Regulatory Guide 1.37, identified previously, also apply to this section of ANSI N45.2.2.
4Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI N45.2.2.</br></br>4" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process..
Section 3.7.1 Cleated, sheathed boxes will be used up to 1000 lbs. rather than 500 lbs. as specified.
This type of box is safe for, and has been tesced for, loads up to 1000 lbs.
Other material standards (i.e., FED Spec. PPP-8-601) allow this.
Special qualification testing shall be required for loads in excess of 1000 lbs.
- 'y

5.
Section 5.5, Correction of Nonconformances. This section pro-vides for " rework" and "use as is" dispositions for conconforming items. As an alternate, the " repair" disposition (as defined in ANSI N45.2.10-1973) will also be used.
6.
Section 6.2.1 For storage of level D items access will be con-trolled and limited by posting. Other positive controls such as fencing or posting of guards will be provided for higher storage levels.
7.
Section 7.4 states that a system should be established to indicate acceptability of all equipment and rigging after each inspection, specify control of nonconforming lifting equipment, and supplement periodic inspections with special visual and non-destructive examinations and dynamic load tests.
In lieu of this, GPUN does perform dynamic load tests on new equipment, preventive maintenance on cranes, nondestructive examination of lifting hooks annually, and a visual inspection of lifting equip-ment prior to use.

NRC Regulatory Guide 1.94, Rev.1, April 1976 Quality Assurance Rec,uirements for Installation, Inspection and Testing of Structural Concrete and Structural Steel during the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants The GPUN Quality Assurance Program complies with this guide with the following clarification:
QA programmatic / administrative requirements included in the Regulatory Guide shall apply to maintenence and modification activities even though such requirements were not in effect 7'
originally. Technical requirements associated with maintenance
(
)
and modifications shall be the original requirements or better
'~'
(e.g., code requirements, material properties, design ma rgins, manufacturing processes, and inspection requirements).
NRC Regulatory Guide 1.116, Rev. 0-R, May 1977 Quality Assurance Requirements for Installation, Inspection and Testing of Mechanical Equipment and Systens The CPUN Quality Assurance Program complies with this guide with the following clarification:
QA programmatic / administrative requirements included in the Regulatory Guide shall apply to maintenance and modification activities even though such requirements were not in effect originally. Technical requirements associated with mainter.ance and modifications, shall be the original requirements or better (e.g., code requirements, material properties, design uargins, manufacturing processes, and inspection requirements).
Much of N45.2.8 applies to construction and pre-operational testing. As a result, many of the listed tests are not appropriate in an operational plant.
In lieu of this, GPUN utilizes its Engineering and/or Maint-enance organizations to establish the need for specific tests or test procedures during the operational phase.

NRC Regulatory Guide 1.123, Rev. 1, July 1977 Quality Assurance Requirements for Control of Procurement of Items and Services for Nuclear Power Plants The GPUN Quality Assurance Program complies with this guide with the following clarification:
1.
Section C.3 A corrective action system may, depending upon complexity and/or importance to safety of the item or service provided, be imposed upon the supplier. When a corrective action is imposed on a supplier, the applicable elements of Section 9.0 of the standard will be included and its implementation will be ve rified.
2.
Section C.4 Applicable information concerning the method (s) of acceptance of an item or service will be made available to receiving inspection personnel.
3.
Section 4.2.a of ANSI N45.2.13-1976 - When evaluation of a supplier is based solely on historical supplier data, these data will primarily include records that have been accumulated in connection with previous procurement actions. Data that includes
/~'N experience of users of identical or similar products of the
(,)
prospective supplier and product operating experience will be used if available.
4.
Section 4.2 of ANSI N45.2.13-1976.
In the special case of
" commercial grade items" the supplier does not have to be evaluated by one of the methods identified; however, the proturement documents shall contain requirements specific to the item being procured.
5.
Section 10.2.d of ANSI N45.2.13-1976. The requiremen:s of this section are interpreted as follows: The person attesting to a certificate shall be an authorized and responsible employee of the supplier and shall be identified by the supplir l
6.
Section 10.2.1, Verification of the Validity of Supp2Pa Certificates and the Effectiveness of the Certification System, is as follows: The verification of the validity of supplier certificates and the effectiveness of the certilization system are accomp,lished as an integral part of the total supplier control and product acceptance program, and no separate GPUN system exists that addresses itself solely to such verification.
The degree of verification required will depend upon the type of l
item or service and their safety importance. The means of l
verification may include source witness / hold points, source audits, and document reviews; independent inspections at the time (3

\\.j of material receipt; user tests on selected commodities, such as concrete components; and tests af ter installation on selected components and systems. All of these means verify whether or not a supplier has fulfilled procurement document requirenents and whether or not a certification system is effective.
NRC Regulatory Guide 1.142, October 1981 Safety-Related Concrete Structures for Nuclear Power Plants (Other Than Reactor Vessels and Containments)
GPUN shall comply with the Regulatory Position established in this Regulatory Guide as augmented by ANSI N45.2.5, ANSI /ANS 6.4-1977 and ANSI /ACI 318-77 for the design and construction of new ITS structures and additions to existing ITS structures.
Inspectors will be qualified according to either ANSI N45.2.6 or Appendix VII of Section III, Division 2, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
NRC Regulatory Guide 1.144, January 1979 Auditing of Quality Assurance Programs for Nuclear Power Plants GPUN is in basic agreement with the position set forth in the Regulatory
,y Guide subject to the following comments:
(
)
1.
Section C.3.a(2)
The proposed scheduling requirement for internal audits appears to change the basis for having a rational, programmatic approach to auditing.
In its place, the new Regulatory Guide requires mandatory auditing of all program elements on a yearly basis.
The latter would require that all elements obtain the same attention regardless of importance, past performance, or to what extent other aspects of quality assurance measuring and evaluating techniques are used; as an example, the extent to which surveillance and process monitoring is used. Acco rdingly, minimum schedule frequency will be as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.33.
2.
Section C.3.b(1) Source inspection provides a controlled basis for replacing the need for external audits. The use of quality assurance program surveillance will also be used as another alternative.
3.
Section C.3.b(2)
While the licensee is responsible for procurement control, this can be exercised through an annual evaluation of the contractor's t

Operational Quality Assurance Plan performance using pertinent results from manufacturing surveillance, source inspection, receiving inspection, and other applicable factors. The evaluation would include a recommenda-tion as to the need for a scheduled program or problem area audit.
Hence, auditing, like surveillance and inspection, will be treated as a quality assurance tool used for evaluation.
Furthermore, the recommendation to audit will include provisions for reviewing the importance and impact of the particular contractor's scope and status.
