tion, and effectiveness of Lne OQAP to assure compliance with policy, commitments, and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B as set forth in this OQAM. This assessment shall be conducted biennially with a scheduling allowance of plus three months for each assessment and a combined time interval for any three consecutive assessment intervals not to exceed 6.25 years. This assessment may be by representatives of other utilities, outside consultants, or UE management representa-tives. In addition, various reports are issued to the Senior Vice President-Nuclear on a periodic basis to assist his independent assessment of the OQAP (e.g., semiannual QA trend analysis, and peri-odic QA audit reports).

2.13 Implementation of OQAP controls over activities affecting quality assures achieving the objective of the UE OQAP to provide management with adequate confidence that act3sities affecting quality regarding the design, installation, modification, and operation of the Callaway Plant are performed consistent with policy. Documentation of the q accomplishment of OQAP objectives is maintained in the form of records of data and other information as necessary to support operation, maintenance, repair, modification, refueling, and inservice inspection.

2.14 UE Management has established standards of perfor-mance which exceed those set forth by the Regula-  ;

tory Agencies. As a management initiative in this area, UE has defined the word "must" to impose management directed performance standards in excess of and in addition to established Regulatory directed performance. From the viewpoint of UE employees and UE contractors, there is no differ-ence in the degree of compliar.ce mandated by use of the words "shall" or "must." Compliance with l actions initiated by use of either "shall" or "must" is audited and surveilled by the QA Depart-l 2-5 Rev. 16 6/93

OQAM ment. Failure to implement a "must" mandated activity requires corrective action in the same way as failure to implement a "shall" mandated activ-ity. However, from an external viewpoint, inter-nally imposed "must" requirements (i.e., those in excess of Regulatory requirements) are not intended to be subject to enforcement action. "Must" is defined in Appendix A of this OQAM under Regulatory Guide 1.74.

Procedures 2168 shall establish requirements; assign responsibil-2185 ities; and provide control of activities regarding 2187 design in a planned, controlled, and orderly l 2188 manner.

2222 2188 3.2 The Plant design is defined by those UE NSSS, A/E and selected supplier design drawings and specifi-cations which illustrate the general arrangement and details of safety-related structures, systems, and components and define the requirements for assuring their continued capability to perform their intended operational or safety design func-tion.

2664 3.3 As the result of operating experience, or as neces-sitated by regulatory requirements, Plant systems and equipment may have to be changed. A design change is a modification in Plant design or opera-tion and is accomplished in accordance with requirements and limitations of applicable codes, standards, specifications, licenses, and predeter-mined safety restrictions. An alteration of Plant equipment, structures or systems, which is not by nature operational, maintenance or replacement by like kind, is considered a design change.

1850 3.4 Maintenance or modifications which may affect func-2100 tioning of safety-related structures, systems, or 2101 components shall be performed in a manner to ensure 2105 quality at least equivalent to that specified in 2111 original design bases and requirements, materials specifications and inspection requirements. A suit-able level of confidence in structures, systems, or components on which maintenance or modifications have been performed shall be attained by appro-priate inspection and performance testing.

2184 3.5 Design, including related procurement efforts, may l2188 be carried out by Nuclear Engineering, Licensing 2222 and Fuels, or outside organizations.

2071 3.6 Control of design shall be specified in procedures.  ;

2074 These procedures shall include instructions for i 2164 defining typical design requirements; communicating l2188 needed design information across internal and  ;

OQAM 2221 external interfaces; preparing, reviewing, approv-2222 ing, releasing, distributing, revising, and l2223 maintaining design documents; performing design 2225 reviews and reviews of design; and controlling 2243 field changes.

2164 3.7 Design control shall involve measures which include a definition of design requirements; a design process which includes design analysis and delinea-tion of requirements through the issuance of draw-ings, specifications, and other design documents (design outputs); and design verification or review of design to verify the adequacy of design or to become acquainted with design features.

1850 3.8 Design requirements and changes thereto shall be l 2188 identified, documented, reviewed and approved to 2203 assure incorporation of appropriate quality stan-2204 dards in design documents and to control departures 2205 from these standards. Modifications to structures, 2207 systems, and components shall consider, as a mini-2222 mum, the design bases described in the Callaway-SP 2664 and the Callaway-SA FSAR and the Technical Specifi-cations. Design criteria documents which are newly issued or modified in the course of design or design changes shall be reviewed by a superin-tendent in the Nuclear Engineering Department for seismic and quality group classification and selec-tion of quality standards. Design criteria docu-ments consist of original Plant design criteria, system descriptions and other documents defining design input which change the Plant as described in the FSAR. The design input shall be specified on a timely basis and to the level of detail necessary to permit the design activity to be carried out in a correct manner and provide a consistent basis for making design decisions, accomplishing design veri-fication measures, and evaluating design changes.

2207 3.9 Design activities shall include the correct trans-2209 lation of regulatory requirements and design bases 2210 into specifications, drawings, written procedures, 2212 and instructions (design outputs) that define the 2974 design. Design analyses regarding reactor physics, 2170 stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation, and accident analyses used to produce design output documents, shall be sufficiently detailed to permit an inde-pendent review by a-technically qualified person.

Analyses shall specify purpose, method, assump-tions, design requirements, references, and units.

When computer codes are employed, only verified codes shall be used in safety-related design and design changes.

OQAM 2165 3.10 Procedures shall specify requirements for the 2166 review and approval of design changes by the organ-2168 izations or individuals that performed the original 2169 design or Nuclear Engineering. Design control 2243 activities, including design changes, may be dele-gated to others provided they have access to back-ground and technical information. Design control measures for design revisions shall be commensurate with those applied to the original design.

1934 3.11 Design activities shall also include: 1) reviewing the applicability of standards; 2) reviewing commercial or previously approved materials, parts or equipment for suitability of application; 3) re-viewing the compatibility of materials used in the design; 4) reviewing the accessibility of equipment and components for inservice inspection, mainte-nance, and repair; 5) specifying criteria for inspection and test / retest; and 6) reviewing and approving procedures for special processes.

2164 3.12 The design process shall establish controls for 2168 releasing design documents which are technically l 2188 adequate and accurate in a controlled manner with a 2220 timely distribution to responsible individuals and 2243 groups. Documents and revisions shall be controlled through the use of written procedures by the issuer, distributor, and user to prevent inad-vertent use of superseded documents. Document j control procedures shall govern the collection, I storage, and maintenance of design documents, 1 results of design document reviews, and changes  !

thereto. The design documents subject to procedural control include, but are not limited to, specifica- l tions, calculations, computer programs, system descriptions, SAR when used as a design document,

)

and drawings including flow diagrams, piping, and instrument diagrams, control logic diagrams, elec- .

trical single line diagrams, structural systems for l major facilities, site arrangements, and equipment locations.

2164 3.13 The design interfaces between UE organizations i 2188 performing work affecting quality of design and l k 2217 between UE and outside organizations shall be i 2218 identified and controlled by procedures. These l 2219 procedures shall address control of the interface, 2223 responsibilities, lines of communication, and

{2231 documentation of internal and external interface activities.

1934 3.14 The design process shall include design verifica- I 2182 tion. Design verification assures that design is 2209 adequate and meets specified design inputs. Design 3-3 Rev. 17 6/94

OQAM l

1 l control procedures shall specify requirements for l 2234 2188 the selection and accomplishment of a design Veri-2227 fication program. The program depth shall be 2231 commensurate with the importance of the system or component to safety, complexity of the design, and similarity of the design to previously proven designs. Design verification shall be conducted in accordance with procedures which identify the responsibilities of the verifier and the documenta- ,

tion required and which, through adherence to the I procedures, provide for the identification of the areas, features, and pertinent considerations to be verified. Design verification shall be by either design review, alternate calculation, qualification testing, or by a combination of these. Where alter-nate calculations are performed to verify the correctness of a calculation, a review shall be performed to address the appropriateness of assump-tions, input data, and the code or other calcula-tion method used. UE shall perform " reviews of design" of selected documents for subcontracted design to become familiar with design features. An independent third-level review must be employed as an additional verification when UE judges that the design involves unique or special design features.

The organization performing design shall have the responsibility for design control unless specified otherwise. Design verification shall be performed by competent personnel other than those who performed the original design and other than the designer's immediate supervisor. However, an indi-vidual's supervisor may perform design verification when he is the only technically qualified indi-vidual and in such instances the need for design verification by the designer's immediate supervisor shall be individually documented and approved in advance by the supervisor's management. Quality Assurance Department audits shall examine the frequency and the effectiveness of use of supervi-sors as design verifiers to guard against abuse.

1934 3.15 Design verification, if other than by qualification 2227 testing of a prototype or lead production unit, l shall be completed prior to release for procure-ment, manufacturing, construction or to another organization for use in other design activities. In those cases where this timing cannot be met, the design verification may be deferred, providing the justification for this action is documented and the portions of the design output documents based on the unverified data are appropriately identified and controlled. Without verification, site activ-ities associated with a design or design change must not proceed past the point where the installa-3-4 Rev. 17 6/94 1

OQAM tion would become irreversible (i.e., require extensive demolition and rework). The design veri-fication shall be complete prior to relying upon the component, system, or structure to perform its I safety-related function.

(2188 3.16 Action shall be initiated to correct errors found in the design process. Errors and deficiencies identified in approved design documents shall be documented and the process'of their correction 1 (i.e., review and approval) shall be controlled.

These actions shall assure that changes to design ,

or installed components are controlled.

3.17 Requests for design changss affecting safety-related structures, systems, and components may be originated by the unit staff, Licensing and Fuels or Nuclear Engineering. Design changes shall be processed by Nuclear Engineering. Design changes engineered by Nuclear Engineering shall be the responsibility of the Manager, Nuclear Engineering.

Design changes engineered by Licensing and Fuels shall be the responsibility of Licensing and Fuels.

3.18 Independent of the responsibilities of the design organization, the requirements of the Onsite Review Committee (ORC) and the Nuclear Safety Review Board (NSRB) as defined in the Technical Specifications shall be satisfied. Design changes require a safety evaluation which shall be reviewed by the ORC and approved by the Manager, Callaway Plant. In addi-tion, changes in the facility as described in the FSAR which involve a change in the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications incorporated in the license or an unreviewed safety question require review and approval by the NSRB and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission prior to implementation. When design is performed by an outside organization, UE shall perform or coordinate a review of the design for operability, maintainability, inspectability, FSAR commitment compatibility, test and inspection acceptance criteria acceptability, and design requirements imposed by Plant generating equipment.

3.19 Safety evaluations which consider the effect of the design as described in the design documents, shall be performed by the responsible UE engineering organization or outside organization (s). These evaluations shall include the basis for the deter- 1 mination that the design change does not involve an I unreviewed safety question. As deemed necessary by the evaluating organization, detailed analyses shall be performed to support the bases of safety evaluations. All nuclear safety evaluations are  !

I 3-5 Rev. 17 6/94 1

OQAM submitted to the ORC. Changes involving the substi-tution of equivalent hardware require safety evaluations to assure that the design requirement changes are consistent with and do not alter the design criteria specified in existing design docu-ments. When design documents and safety evaluations are prepared by an outside organization under its QA program, review and approval per ANSI N45.2.11 will be included. UE will approve all outside organizations' design documents and safety evalua-tions, and will perform appropriate reviews neces-sary for final approval.

3.20 The ORC shall review design change safety evalua-tions to recommend final approval of design changes. Design changes which involve an unreviewed safety question or a change in the Technical Speci-fications shall be forwarded to the NSRB for review. An application for amendment of the license shall be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, 1

3.21 The NSRB shall review safety evaluations to verify that changes did not involve unreviewed safety questions. ,

l 1911 3.22 Procedures and instructions related to equipment or '

l2164 systems that are modified shall be reviewed and updated to reflect the modification prior to placing the equipment or systems in operation to perform safety-related functions. Plant personnel i shall be made aware of changes affecting the 1 performance of their duties through procedure revi- i sions, or specific training in the operation of modified equipment or systems, or other appropriate means.

2039 3.23 Records shall be maintained which reflect current 2132 design including safety analyses, safety evalua-l2164 tions, design change installation procedures, 2173 material identification documents, procurement documents, special process documents, equipment and installation specifications, and as-built drawings.

3.24 Drawings shall be prepared under a drawing control system which provides for checking methods and review and approval requirements. Drawings shall be se'.;cct to reviews by the responsible design organ-ization for correctness, conformance to design criteria, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.

975 Procurement document control applies to documents 1876 employed to obtain safety-related materials, parts, 1887 components, and services required to support Plant activities. Written procedures establish require-ments and assign responsibility for measures to assure applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, and other requirements necessary to assure quality are included in procurement documents.

3559 4.2 Written procedures shall include controls, as applicable, for preparation, content, review, approval, and processing of the following related procurement documents:

1. Purchase Requisitions

2. Purchase Orders

3. Letters of Intent

4. Engineering Service Agreements (agreements for engineering, construction, or consultant serv-ices) (ESAs)

5. Contracts

6. Specifications

7. Drawings l I

3560 Collectively, these procedures shall assure that technical and quality requirements are correctly stated, inspectable, and controllable; there are I adequate acceptance and rejection criteria; and procurement documents have been prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with QA Program require- j ments.

3572 4.3 Consideration of the verification activities to be 1 3580 employed for item or service acceptance should I 3582 begin during the purchase requisition, ESA, or I 3584 contract preparation and review stage. Planning of 3607 verification activities shall include a review of 3874 the established acceptance criteria and identified documentation. Verification methods which may be I employed include certifications (certificates of conformance and material certificates or test l reports), source verification, receiving inspec-tion, and post-installation tests established by UE. Selected verification methods may be indicated as inspections, examinations, tests, or documenta-tion reviews. The extent of the acceptance methods ancs associated verification activities is a func-tion of the purchased itam's or service's complexity and relative safecy significance, as 4-1 Rev. 17 6/94

OQAM l

l well as the supplier's past performance.

1892 4.4 Acceptance by source verification should be consid- j 3572 cred when the item or service is vital to Plant I l 3582 safety; or the quality characteristics are diffi-i 3584 cult to verify after receipt; or the item or service is complex in design, manufacture, inspec-l tion or test. Verification in this sense involves a physical presence to monitor, by observation, l designated activities for the purpose of evaluating supplier performance and product acceptability, i 1875 4.5 Purchase requisitions must be employed to initiate i the procurement of safety-related materials, parts, l components, and services while ESAs must be used to I i

contract for safety-related engineering, construc-tion, or consultant services. Contracts, purchase orders generated from purchase requisitions, and ESAs must be employed to procure certain goods and  ;

services associated with the nuclear fuel cycle.

Purchase requisitio.?n for safety-related materials, parts, components, ano services and ESAs for professional services may be initiated by personnel in the Quality Assurance Department; Nuclear Engi-neering, Nuclear Services, or Licensing and Fuels Department; or the unit staff. I 1

975 4.6 The procurement of spare or replacement parts for 1876 safety-related structures, systems, and components ,

l shall be subject to the QA Program controls in l cffect at the time the order is issued; and to codes, standards, and technical requirements which are equal to or better than the original require- l ments or as may be required to reduce the proba-bility for repetition of defects. Procurement docu-mont control preparation measures shall further assure that safety-related components, piece parts, materials, and services are purchased to specifica-tions and codes equivalent to those specified orig-inally or those specified by a properly reviewed and approved revision; packaged and transported in a manner to assure the non-degradation of quality during transit; and properly documented to show compliance with applicable specifications, codes, and standards.

1876 4.7 Each item or service to be procured is evaluated by the procurement document originator to determine whether it performs a safety-related function or involves activities which affect the function of safety-related materials, parts, or components and to appraise the importance of this function to Plant or public safety. For those cases where it is unclear if an individual piece (part of a safety-4-2 Rev. 17 6/94

When evaluations are performed, the assessment of a supplier's capability shall be specific to the procured item, commodity, or service and the supplier's ability to provide the items or services in accordance with procurement document require-ments. Suppliers of hardware and services which are manufactured prior to award, considered a commer-cial grade item, or implemented under the UE OQAP do not require pro-award sottree evaluation or post-award audits which attest to their capability as a procurement source.

7-1 Rev. 17 6/94

OQAM 2337 7.3 During Callaway's operating life, procurements may 2977 be made from: 1) suppliers judged capable (prior 3564 to award) of providing items or services in accor-3874 dance with procurement document requirements and a quality assurance program appropriate for the item or service procured; 2) suppliers and others in possession of hardware manufactured prior to award and whose acceptability can be determined by receiving inspection, an examination of quality verification documentation, or other suitable means; 3) suppliers of commercial grade items able to be ordered solely on the basis of published product descriptions (catalog information); and 4) outside organizations working under the UE OQAP.

Regardless of the basis for the acceptability of the procurement source, prior to the issuance of a purchase order or execution of a contract or ESA, a verification of the supplier /outside organization's acceptability shall be documented. Except in unusual circumstances (e.g. replacement parts are needed to preclude the development of some unsafe or undesirable condition), an evaluation of a Supplier's acceptability as a procurement source shall be accomplished prior to award. In the case of purchase orders, the supplier shall be verified as an acceptable procurement source for the item or service being procured. Purchase orders may be issued prior to an assessment of suppliers' capa-bility provided a prohibition on safety-related work is imposed. Such suppliers may be released to begin safety-related work when evaluated to be an acceptable procurement source.

7.4 Code certified material may be obtained from an ASME accredited Material Manufacturer or Material Supplier for repair or replacement applications.

However UE may also obtain Code certified materials from non-ASME accredited Material Manufacturers or Material Suppliers if such Manufacturers or Supp-liers are otherwise qualified as stipulated in Sections 4 and 7 of the OQAM. These provision are consistent with ASME Code Interpretation XI 83-50R dated May 14, 1985.

1891 7.5 Procurement source evaluation and selection 1894 involves the Quality Assurance Department and the 3564 originating organization. The evaluation and selec-3565 tion process shall be specified in department proc-edures and may vary depending on the complexity and relative importance to safety of the item or service. Nuclear Engineering, Licensing and Fuels, Nuclear Services, the unit staff or other organiza-tions may be requested to provide input to the qualification evaluations of suppliers.

OQAM 3565 7.6 Procurement source selection and evaluations shall 3566 consider one or more of the following:

l3604 3564 1. Experience of users of identical or similar products of the prospective supplier. NRC Licensee Contractor and Vendor Inspection Program (LCVIP) reports, ASME Certificates of Authorization (C of A), audit reports, UE records accumulated in previous procurement actions, and UE product-operating experience may be used in this evaluation. Supplier history shall reflect recent capability.

Previous favorable quality experience with suppliers may be an adequate basis for judge-ments attesting to their capability. When an LCVIP report, an audit report, or an ASME C of A is used to establish a supplier's accepta-bility as a procurement source, the document shall be identified.

2. An evaluation of the supplier's current quality records supported by documented qualitative and quantitative information which can be objec-tively evaluated. This may include review and evaluation of the supplier's QA Program, Manual, and Procedures, as appropriate; and responses to questionnaires.

3564 3. A source evaluation of the supplier's technical and quality capability as determined by a direct evaluation (audit or surveillance) of facilities, personnel and Quality Assurance Program implementation.

4. For commercial grade items, the procurement source selection should consider one or more of the following:

a. Survey of documented supplier controls over critical characteristics and that supplier activities adequately control the items supplied, and verify the implementation of manufacturer's measures for control of design, process, and material changes.

b. Acceptable supplier / item performance record utilizing monitored performance of the item, industry product tests, national codes, and standards (not specific to the nuclear industry), or other industry data- i bases (UL, INPO NPRDS, EPRI EQDB, ANSI, NEMA, MIL-STDS, NRC Bulletins / Notices, and 7-3 Rev. 17 6/94 j l

Guide 30) (Endorses ANSI N45.2.4-1972/IEEE 336-1971) j DISCUSSION:  ;

i UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide )

with the following clarifications:

For maintenance and modification activities UE shall comply with the Reaulatory Position established in this Regulatory Guide in )

that QA programmatic / administrative requirements included therein '

(subject to the clarifications below) shall apply to these main- )

tenance and modification activities even though such requirements may not have been in effect originally. Technical requirements associated with the maintenance and modifications shall be equal to or better than the original requirements (e.g., code require-ments, material properties, design margins, manufacturing processes, and inspection requirements), or as required to preclude repetition of defects.

Specific clarifications for ANSI N45.2.4 - 1972 are indicated below by sections.

Section 1.4 - Definitions in this Standard which are not included in ANSI N45.2.10 shall be used; definitions which are included in ANSI N45.2.10 shall be used as clarified in UE's commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.74.

Section 2.1 - Plannina requirements, as determined by engineer-ing, shall be incorporated into modification procedures. Engi- ,

neering actions performed in accordance with this Section of the Standard are conducted with QA/QC involvement and are subject to QA audit. Procedures for these activities receive a cross-disci-plinary review as well as review by the Onsite Review Committee (QA is a permanent member of this committee). For other activ-ities, QA audits and surveillances, and QC inspection activities assure QA/QC involvement.

Section 2.3 - Procedures and Instructions shall be implemented as set forth in OQAM Sections 2, 3, 5, 10 and 11 and by compliance with the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications and Regulatory Guide 1.33 (ANSI N18.7) as set forth in this Appendix in lieu of the requirements set forth here. When compliance with an NRC accepted program (e.g., Callaway Plant Technical Specifications) is referenced, UE has substituted the NRC accepted program for applicable regulatory requirements in lieu of the general requir-ements of the Quality Assurance program standards.

A-3 Rev. 15 6/92

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.30 (cont.)

Section 2.4 - Results shall be implemented as set forth in OQAM Sections 10, 11 and 17 and by compliance with ANSI N18.7 as set forth in this Appendix in lieu of the requirements set forth here. In every case either identical or equivalent controls are provided in the sections of the referenced Standards or docu-monts.

Section 2.5.2 - Calibration and Control covers three classes of instrumentation used by UE: (1) M&TE (portable measuring instru-ments, test equipment, tools, gages, and non-destructive test equipment used in measuring and inspecting safety-related struc-tures, systems, and components); (2) reference standards (pri-mary, secondary, transfer, and working); and (3) permanently installed process instrumentation (PI).

With respect to the first sentence, M&TE and reference standards shall be included in a calibration program and shall either be calibrated at prescribed intervals or shall be calibrated prior to use. With respect to the last sentence, personnel shall be trained and procedures shall require that the calibration label or tag shall be reviewed to determine calibration status prior to use: This label or tag shall be considered to clearly identify equipment which is out of calibration. Lack of a label or tag shall require the organization responsible for calibrating the M&TE to review records and affix a new label or tag based on calibration data. M&TE and reference standards shall comply with sentences 2, 3 and 4.

With respect to the 3rd sentence, UE uniquely identifies each safety-related item of permanently installed process instrumenta-tion. This identification provides traceability to calibration data. These actions are UE's alternative to the tagging or labeling of items to indicate the calibration date and the iden-tity of the person who performed the calibration. Permanently installed process instrumentation shall comply with sentences 1, 2, and 5.

Section 3 - Preconstruction Verification shall be implemented as follows: (1) shall be required only for modifications (2) shall be implemented with the clarification that " approved instruction manuals" shall be interpreted to mean the manuals provided by the supplier as required by the procurement order - these manuals are not necessarily reviewed and approved, per se, by UE: (3) no special checks shall be required to be made by the person with-drawing a replacement part from the warehouse - equivalent controls are assured by compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.38 (ANSI N45.2.2) as set forth in this Appendix; and, (4) shall be complied with as determined by engineering or by individual tech-nicians as part of the modification process. Engineering actions performed in accordance with this section of the Standard are conducted with QA/QC involvement and are subject to QA audit.

A-4 Rev. 15 6/92

OQAM l APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.30 (cont.)

Procedures for these activities receive a cross-disciplinary review as well as review by the Onsite Review Committee (QA is a permanent member of this committee). For other activities, QA audits and surveillances, and QC inspection activities assure QA/QC involvement.

Section 4 - Installation shall be implemented as stated and as follows: Engineering actions performed in accordance with this Section of the Standard are conducted with QA/QC involvement and are subject to QA audit. Procedures for these activities receive a cross-disciplinary review as well as review by the Onsite Review Committee (QA is a permanent member of this committee).

For other activities, QA audits and surveillances, and QC inspec-tion activities assure QA/QC involvement.

Section 5.1 - Inspections, including subsections 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and the first sentence in 5.1.3, shall be implemented as set forth in OQAM Section 10. The inspection program shall incorpo-rate, as determined by engineering and QC, those items listed in i these subsections. The remaining sentence in 5.1.3 is covered in equivalent detail in UE's commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.33 (ANSI N18.7), Section 5.2.6; the requirements as set forth in that commitment shall be implemented in lieu of the requirements stated here. In every case either identical or equivalent controls are provided in the Sections of the referenced Standards or documents.

Section 5.2 - Tests, including subsections 5.2.1 through 5.2.3, shall be implemented as set forth in OQAM Sections 3 and 11. In some cases Surveillance testing may be used to meet the approp-riate requirements of this Section.

Section 6 -

Post-Construction Verification is not generally considered applicable at operating facilities because of the scope of the work and the relatively short interval between installation and operation. Where considered necessary by engi-neering or QC , the elements described in this section shall be used in the development and implementation of inspection and testing programs as described in OQAM Sections 3, 10 and 11.

Section 7 - Data Analysis and Evaluation shall be implemented as stated herein after adding the clarifying phrase "Where used" at the beginning of the paragraph. This clarification accounts for the fact that some testing will not generate " Data" as such.

Section 8 - Fecords shall be implemented by conformance with OQAM Section 17 and Regulatory Guide 1.88 (ANSI N45.2.9) as set forth in this Appendix.

l OQRM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.33 REVISION 2 DATED 2/78 Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation) (Endorses ANSI N18.7-1976/ANS 3.2)

DISCUSSION:

UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide with the following clarifications:

Paragraph C.3 of Regulatory Guide 1.33 (and Section 4.3.4 of ANSI N18.7 which it references) shall be implemented as required by the applicable Callaway Plant Technical Specifications which define " Subjects Requiring Independent Review."

Paragraph C.4.a of Regulatory Guide 1.33 (and Section 4.5 of ANSI N18.7 which it references) shall be implemented as required by the applicable Callaway Plant Technical Specifications which define the " audit program" to be conducted. The audit program is further defined and shall be implemented as required by the commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI N45.2.12) as stated in this Appendix.

Paragraph C.S.d of Regulatory Guide 1.33 (and Section 5.2.7.1 of ANSI N18.7 which it references) shall be implemented by adding the clarifying phrase "When determined by engineering" in front of the fourth sentence of the fifth paragraph. It is not always practicable to test parts prior to use. For modifications where these requirements are not considered practicable, a review in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59 shall be conducted and documented. Engineering actions performed in accordance with this Section of the Regulatory Guide are conducted with QA/QC involvement and are subject to QA audit. Procedures for these activities receive a cross-disciplinary review as well as review by the Onsite Review Committee (QA is a permanent member of ORC).

For other activities, QA audits and surveillances, and QC inspec-tion activities assure QA/QC involvement.

Paragraph C.5.e of Regulatory Guide 1.33 and Section 5.2.13.4 of ANSI N18.7 which it references shall be implemented subject to the same clarifications made for Regulatory Guide 1.38 (ANSI N45.2.2).

Paragraph C.S.f of Regulatory Guide 1.33 (and Section 5.2.19(2) of ANSI N18.7 which it references) shall be implemented with the substitution of the word " practicable" for the word "possible" in the last sentence. The action referenced in this Section is the responsibility of the Callaway Plant Operating Organization, and includes QA/QC involvement. QA is involved through audit and surveillance activities. QC is involved in maintenance inspection activities.

A-6 Rev. 15 6/92

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.33 (cont.)

Paragraph C.S.g of Regulatory Guide 1.33 (and Section 5.2.19.1 on ANSI N18.7 which it references) shall be implemented with the addition of the modifier "normally" after each of the verbs (should) which the Regulatory Guide converts to "shall." It is UE's intent to fully comply with the requirements of this para- ,

graph, and any conditions which do not fully comply shall be  !

documented and approved by management personnel. Management I personnel includes QA through cross-disciplinary reviews and '

through QA permanent membership on the Callaway Onsite Review Committee. QA has and shall conduct audits or surveillances of preoperational testing. In cases where conditions do not fully comply, the reason for the exception shall also be documented.

The documentation shall be retained as lifetime records.

With regard to Section 3.4.2 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Reauire-ments for the Onsite Operatina Oroanization:

Some of UE's technical support organizations are physically located at the Callaway site. Therefore the second sentence of this Section shall be implemented as follows: " Initial incumbents or replacements for members of the onsite or offsite technical support organizations shall have appropriate experience, training and retraining to assure that necessary competence is maintained in accordance with the provisions of ANSI /ANS 3.1 - 1978 as committed to in the OQAM."

In the third sentence, UE interprets "QA" to be "QC", consistent with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.58 (ANSI N45.2.6-1978) and the OQAM.

Training standards referenced in this Section are implemented as described in this Appendix's commitments to Regulatory Guide 1.8 (ANSI /ANS 3.1) and Regulatory Guide 1.58 (ANSI N45.2.6-1978) or as otherwise included as part of the Callaway operating license.

UE's methods of documenting and otherwise meeting the remainder of the requirements of this Section are set forth in OQAM Section 2, in the callaway Plant Technical Specifications, and in other licensing commitments.

With regard to Section 4.1 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled General:

The UE audit program shall be implemented in accordance with and to meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI N45.2.12) as endorsed in this Appendix, OQAM Section 18, and the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications.

With regard to Section 4.2 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Procram l pescrintion: Two aspects are addressed in this Section: audits I and independent reviews. The independent review program shall be j implemented as required by the Technical Specifications. The UE  ;

audit program shall be described in accordance with and to meet j the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI N45.2.12) as i endorsed in this Appendix, the Callaway Plant Technical Specifi-cations, and OQAM Section 18.

With regard to Section 4.3 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Independ-  !

ent Review Process: The requirements of this Section, including I of its subparts, shall be met by compliance with the Technical j Specification requirements and the OQAM.  !

l With regard to Section 4.5 of ANSI N1L.7 - 1976 titled Audit Procram: The UE audit program shall be implemented in accordance with and to meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI l N45.2.12) as endorsed in this Appendix, the OQAM, and the  ;

Callaway Plant Technical Specifications. l With regard to Section 5.1 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Procram Rescription: The fourth sentence in this Section requires a " sum-mary document." UE's OQAM is organized in accordance with the 18 criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. UE interprets this OQAM and applicable Regulatory Guides as endorsed in this Appendix to fulfill the requirements for a " summary document."

With regard to Section 5.2.2 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Proced-ure Adherence: The temporary change requirements of this Section are delineated in the Technical Specifications for activities occurring after the Operating License (OL) is issued; the requir-ements of the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications shall be used to control temporary changes.

With respect to Section 5.2.6 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Eaulo-ment Control: UE shall comply with the " independent verification" requirements based on the definition of this phrase as given under our commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.74 in this Appendix.

Since UE sometimes uses descriptive names to designate equipment, the sixth paragraph, second sentence is replaced with: " Suitable means include identification numbers or other descriptions which are traceable to records of the status of inspections and tests."

The first sentence in the seventh paragraph shall be met after clarifying " operating personnel" to mean trained employees assigned to, or under the control of, Plant management at Calla-way.

A-8 Rev. 15 6/92

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1. 3 3 (cont.)

With regard to Section 5.2.7 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Mainte-nance and Modification: UE shall interpret the word " original" in the first sentence of this Section to modify ONLY the words

" design' bases." This interpretation is to assure that original inspection requirements are not imposed, without appropriate review, on modifications or maintenance activities which are similar in nature to original construction activities. In devel-oping means to assure the quality of maintenance or modification activity, inspection requirements from associated construction activities shall be considered. Operational inspection require-ments shall assure quality at least equivalent to the original quality.

Since some emergency situations could arise which might preclude preplanning of all activities, UE shall comply with an alternate to the first sentence in the second paragraph which reads:

"Except in emergency or abnormal operating conditions where imme-diate actions are required to protect the health and safety of the public, to protect equipment or personnel, or to prevent the deterioration of Plant conditions to a possibly unsafe or unstable level, maintenance or modification of equipment shall be preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures.

Where written procedures would be required and are not used, the activities that were accomplished shall be documented after-the-fact and receive the same degree of review as if they had been proplanned."

With regard to Section 5.2.7.1 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Main-tenance Procrams: UE shall comply with the requirements of the first sentence of the fifth paragraph, where practical. This clarification is needed since it is not always possible to promptly determine the cause of the malfunction. UE shall initiate proceedings to determine the cause, and shall make such determinations promptly, where practical. QA is involved via both audits and surveillances, and QC is involved in inspection of maintenance inspection activities.

With regard to Section 5.2.8 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Surveil-lance Testina and Inspection Schedule: In lieu of a " master surveillance schedule," the following requirement shall be met:

" Schedules shall be established reflecting the status of in-plant l surveillance tests and scheduled inspections."

With regard to Section 5.2.9 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Plant Security and Visitor Control: The requirements of the Security Plan shall be implemented in. lieu of these general requirements.

When compliance with an NRC accepted program (e.g., Callaway '

Security Plan) is referenced, UE has substituted the NRC accepted '

program for applicable regulatory requirements in lieu of the )

general requirements of the Quality Assurance program standards. i l

With regard to Section 5.2.15 of ANSI N18.7-1976 titled Review.

Anoroval and Control of Procedures; in lieu of the wording starting with the second sentence in the third paragraph of this section beginning with "The frequency of ..., " through the end of the fourth paragraph, which ends "... a procedure review.", UE provides the following alternative guidance: " Procedures shall be revised as necessary. These revisions will generally be initiated  ;

through reviews conducted by knowledgeable personnel during i routine performance of activities. Examples of such reviews include evaluations of problems encountered during performance of a procedure, evaluation of corrective actions for self-identified deficiencies or events, evaluation of events occurring at other plants, evaluation of procedure changes necessary to implement modifications, evaluation of procedure changes necessary to implement License, Technical Specification, FSAR or OQAM revi-sions as well as evaluations of changes necessary to resolve Regulatory Issues. Such changes shall be implemented as neces-sary. In some situations such implementation will be completed prior to completion of the in-process activity.

A-10 Rev. 15 6/92

OQAM APPENDIX A BEGULATORY GUIDE 1.33 (cont.)

The following is a clarification to the sixth paragraph:

Inspections may not require generation of a separate inspection report. Inspection requirements may be integrated into approp-riate procedures or other documents with the procedure or docu-ment serving as the record. However, records of inspections shall be identifiable and retrievable.

With regard to Section 5.2.18 of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Control of Special Processes: UE shall comply with the following sentence in lieu of the last sentence of the referenced Section.

For special processes not covered by existing codes or standards, or where item quality requirements exceed the requirements of established codes or standards, personnel, equipment and procedure qualification shall be defined by engineering.

With regard to Section 5.3.5(4) of ANSI N18.7 - 1976 titled Suonortina Maintenance Documents: UE may choose to include mate-rial from vendor manuals in any of three ways. (1) The applicable section of a manual may be duplicated, referenced in, and attached to the procedure. (2) The procedure may reference the technical manual or a specific section; the manual may then be used in conjunction with the procedure for performing the activ-ity. (3) The material, either as originally written or as modified by the procedure's author, may be reproduced within the body of the procedure. In options (1) and (2) above, the material shall be considered as having received "the same level of review and approval as operating procedures" by virtue of the review and approval of the maintenance procedure. In option (2), the manual shall be available when the procedure is being considered for approval. In option (3), this material receives the same review and approval as the procedure since it is part of the procedure.

In any of the options, Union Electric is NOT reviewing and accepting the entire manual. UE reviews and accepts that portion of each vendor manual that is used by UE.

BEGULATORY GUIDE 1.74 INITIAL ISSUE DATED 2/74 1

Quality Assurance Terms and Definitions (Endorses ANSI N45.2.10-1973)

DISCUSSION:

UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide with the following clarifications.

UE reserves the right to define additional words or phrases which !

are not included in this Standard. Such additional definitions shall be documented in appropriate procedures or in Sectic.is of the Operating QA Manual.

In addition to the Standard's definition of " Inspection," UE shall use the following: " Inspection (when used to refer to activities that are NOT performed by QA or QC personnel) - Exam-ining, viewing closely, scrutinizing, looking over or otherwise checking activities. Personnel performing these functions are not necessarily certified to Regulatory Guide 1.58 (ANSI N45.2.6)."

These activities are controlled by the Callaway Plant Operating Manual.

When UE intends for Inspection to be performed in accordance with the Operating QA Program by personnel certified as required by that Program and for activities defined by " Inspection" in ANSI N45.2.10, appropriate references to QC group or the procedures to be used for performing the activity shall be made. If such refer-ences are NOT made, inspections are to be considered under the additional definition given above.

In addition to the Standard's definition of " procurement docu-ments," UE shall utilize the definition given in ANSI N45.2.13.

The compound definition is given as follows: Procurement docu-ments - Contractually binaing documents that identify and define the requirements which items or services must meet in order to be considered acceptable by the purchaser. They may include docu-ments which authorize the seller to perform services or supply equipment, material or facilities on behalf of the purchaser A-22 Rev. 15 6/92

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.74 (cont.)

(e.g. Engineering Service Agreement agreements for engineering, construction, or consulting services), contracts, letters of intent, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or proposals and their acceptance, drawings, specifications, or instruction which define requirements for purchase.

" Bids" -

Supplier quotation submitted in response to specified technical and quality requirements for which price and delivery are primary considerations.

" Proposals" - Supplier offerings that define the scope of supply as well as specific technical and quality requirements for a product or service. Such offerings usually require negotiation prior to acceptance as either a purchase order, contract, or Engineering Service Agreement.

" Program Deficiencies" (Not defined in ANSI N45.2.10, but used and defined differently in Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI N45.2.12)) -

Failure to develop, document or implement effec-tively any applicable element of the Operating QA Program.

" Quality Assurance Program Requirements" (Not defined in ANSI N45.2.10 but used and defined differently in ANSI N45.2.13) -

Those individual requirements of the Operating QA Program which, when invoked in total or in part, establish the requirements of the quality assurance program for the activity being controlled.

Although not specifically used in the Operating QA Program, ANSI N45.2 may be imposed upon UE's suppliers.

" Independent Verification" - Verification by an individual other than the person who performed the operation or activity being verified that required actions have been completed. Such verifi-cation need not require confirmation of the identical action when other indications provide assurance or indication that the pres-cribed activity is in fact complete. Examples include, but are not limited to: verification of a breaker opening by observed remote breaker indication lights; verification of a set point (made with a voltmeter or ammeter for example) by observing the actuation of status or indicating lights at the required Panel-meter indicated value; verification that a valve has been positi-oned by observing the starting or stopping of flow on meter indi- ,

cations or by remote value positions indicating lights.

" Audit" (This is a modification of the word's definition - to allow the use of subjective evidence if no evidence is available as defined in Section 1.4 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 (Regulatory Guide 1.144) and Section 1.4.3 of ANSI N45.2.23 - 1978 (Regula-tory Guide 1.146) as opposed to the definition given in ANSI N45.2.10 - 1973) - A documented activity performed in accordance with written procedures or checklists to verify, by examination and evaluation of objective evidence where available, (subjective A-23 Rev. 15 6/92 l

1 OQAM APPENDIX A FEGULATORY GUIDE 1,74 (cont.)

evidence may be used when objective evidence is not available),

that applicable elements of the Quality Assurance Program have been developed, documented and effectively implemented in accor-dance with specified requirements. An audit should not be confused with surveillance or inspection for the sole purpose of process control or product acceptance.

1 "Must" -

(Not defined in any ANSI Standard) - An internally auditable requirement imposed by UE management upon its employees, contractors, and agents - above and in excess of the legally binding requirements of the appropriate regulatory body.

Such items are internally required but not externally enforce-able. (See additional discussion under Section 2.14 of the OQAM.)

" Unit staff" - (Not defined in any ANSI standard) - Means those personnel who report to the Vice President, Nuclear Operations.

This term shall also be synonymous with the "onsite operating organization" described (but not defined) in ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 3.4.2; the " unit staff" as used in the OQAM and in Callaway Plant Technical Specifications Section 6.3 and its subparts and Section 6.5.2.9.b; the " unit organization" described in the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications Section 6.2.2.

"Like kind replacements" - (Not defined in any ANSI standard) -

REGULATORY GUIDE 1.88 REVISION 2 PATED 10/76 Collection, Storage, and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plant Quality Assurance Records (Endorses ANSI N45.2.9-1974)

DISCUSSION:

UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide with the following clarifications:

With regard to Section 3.2.1 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Gener-ation of Quality Assurance Records: The phrase " completely filled out" is clarified to mean that sufficient information is recorded to fulfill the intended purpose of the record. It is the informa-tion, not the form, that is the record. Thus the information, not the form, needs to be complete to furnish documented " evidence of activities affecting quality".

With regard to Section 3.2.2 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Index:

The phrase "an index" is clarified to mean a collection of docu-ments or indices which, when taken together, supply the informa-tion attributed to "an index" in the Standard.

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.88 (cont.).

The specific location of a record "within a storage area" may not be delineated. (e.g. The specific location within a computer record file may not be constant. Further, UE may utilize a computer assisted random access filing system where such location could not be readily " documented," or would such a location be

" relevant.") The storage location shall be delineated, but where file locations change with time, the specific location of a record within that file may not always be documented.

With regard to Section 4.2 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled timeli-ness: UE's contractual agreement with its contractors and supp-liers shall constitute fulfillment of the requirements of this Section.

With regard to Section 5.3.3 of ANSI N45.2.9-1974: The phrase "A method for verifying that the records received are in agreement with the transmittal document . . . , " is clarified to mean that internal Callaway Plant generated records received are in agree-ment with procedural guidelines contained in Callaway Plant Admi-nistrative procedures. If a transmittal does exist (e.g. on supp-lier-generated documents, etc.), the records received will be verified against the transmittal document.

The following clarification is substituted for the current subsection 5.4.3: " Provisions shall be made for special processed records (such as radiographs, photographs, negatives, microfilm and magnetic media) to prevent damage from excessive light, stacking, electromagnetic fields, temperature and humidity as appropriate to the records type." Consideration shall be given to manufacturer's recommendation.

With regard to Section 5.5 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Safe-keepina: Routine General Offices and Plant site security systems and access controls shall be provided: no special security systems are required to be established for record storage areas.

With regard to Section 5.6 of ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974 titled Facil-ity: This Section provides no distinction between temporary and permanent facilities. To cover temporary storage, the following clarification is added: " Active records (those completed but not yet duplicated or placed on microfilm) may be temporarily stored in one-hour fire rated file cabinets. In general, records shall not be maintained in such temporary storage for more than three months after completion without being duplicated (for dual stor-age) or being placed on microfilm. Open-ended documents --those revised or updated on a more-or-less continuing basis over an extended period of time (e.g. personnel qualification and training documents, equipment history cards, master audit or master surveillance schedules) and those which are cumulative in A-25 Rev. 17 6/94

OQAM APPENDIX A BEGULATORY GUIDE 1.88 (cont.)

nature (e.g. nonconforming item logs and control room log books)-- are not considered as QA records since they are not

" complete." These types of docurents shall become QA records when they are issued as a specific revision (e.g., the master audit schedule); when they are filled-up or discontinued (e.g. log books or equipment history cards); on a predefined periodic basis when the completed portion of the on-going document shall be transferred to document control as a " record" (e.g. training and qualification records).

Paragraph 4, subsection 3 is clarified to require a two-hour minimum fire rating to be consistent with the 1979 version of the Standard and NRC Criteria for Records Storace Facilities (Gui-dance-ANSI N45.2.9, Section 5.6) issued 7/1/80.

Paragraph 4, subsection 9 is clarified to read: "No pipes or penetrations except those providing fire protection, lighting, temperature / humidity control, or communications are to be located within the facility and they shall comply with a minimum two-hour fire protection rating."

Where duplicate storage is employed, no special precautions or provisions (including vault storage, special humidity and tempe-rature recorders and similar items) are required.

Paragraph 5 is clarified to read the same as our commitment to subsection 5.4.3. Both paragraphs address the same requirement and therefore the commitment must be the same.

With regard to Section 5.7 of ANSI N45.2.9-1974 titled Audits:

These specific activities in sub-sections 1, 2 and 3 are accomp-lished through the establishment of administrative controls by the responsible management.

Audits of these administrative controls are performed in accor-dance with this OQAM, Section 18 and commitments to Reg. Guide 1.144 in this Appendix.

REGULATORY GUIDE 1.123 (coni 111 With regard to Section 5.3 of ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976 titled Prea-Ward Evaluation: UE shall comply with an alternate paragraph l which reads: "Except in unusual circumstances (e.g. replacement parts are needed to preclude the development of some unsafe or undesirable condition at Callaway), an evaluation of the suppli-er's acceptability as a procurement source shall be performed as required by the Operating QA Manual." While it is not the intent to make " unusual circumstances" determinations without Engi-neering or QA involvement, Callaway Operations Support is ulti-mately responsible for the decision. QA audit and surveillance activities assure against abuse.

With regard to Section 6.4 of ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976 titled Control of Chances in Items of Services: The phrase "the Operating QA Program" is inserted in lieu of " ANSI N45.2, Section 7."

With regard to Section 7.3.1 of ANSI N45.2.13-1976 titled Source Verification Activities and Section 12 of ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976 titled Audit of Procurement Procram: The UE audit program shall be implemented in accordance with and to meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.144 (ANSI N45.2.12) as endorsed in this Appen-dix, OQAM Sections 16 and 18, and the requirements of the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications.

With regard to Section 7.5 of ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976 titled Person-nel Oualifications: The phrase: " Personnel responsible for performing verification activities shall be qualified in accor-dance with ANSI N45.2.6 as applicable", is subject to the following clarification: Qualification of personnel performing verification activities for the Callaway Plant shall be in accor-dance with Union Electric's position on Regulatory Guide 1.58.

With regard to Section 8.2 of ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976 titled Disoo-sition: The third sentence of item b is revised to read:

Nonconformances to the contractual procurement requirements or Purchaser approved documents and which consist of one or more of the following shall be submitted to the Purchaser for approval of the recommended disposition prior to ship-ment when the nonconformance could adversely affect the end use of a module

• or shippable component relative to safety, interchangeability, operability, reliability, integrity, or maintainability:

1) Technical or material requirement is violated;

2) Requirement in Supplier documents, which have been approved by the Purchaser, is violated; A-29 Rev. 16 6/93

REGULATORY GUIDE 1.144 REVISION 1 DATED 9/80 Auditing of Quality Assurance Programs for Nuclear Power Plants (Endorses ANSI N45.2.12-1977)

DISCUSSION:

UE complies with the recommendations of this Regulatory Guide with the following clarifications:

With regard to Section 1.4 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Defini-tions: With one exception (Program Deficiencies) the definitions in this Standard which are not included in Regulatory Guide 1.74 (ANSI N45.2.10) shall be used; definitions which are included in ANSI N45.2.10 shall be used as clarified in UE's commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.74. The one excepted definition and a clar-ified definition (of audit) relevant to this Standard are defined in this Appendix under Regulatory Guide 1.74.

With regard to Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.12-1977 titled General:

Identical or equivalent controls are provided in this OQAM, Section 18.3 regarding the second paragraph discussing audit team selection.

With regard to Section 2.2 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Person-nel Oualification: The qualification of UE audit personnel shall be accomplished as described to meet the requirements of Regula-tory Guide 1.146 (ANSI N45.2.23 - 1978) as endorsed in this Appendix and OQAM Section 18.

l A-30 Rev. 16 6/93

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.144 (cont.)

With regard to Secti n 2.3 (and subsections 2.3.1 through 2.3.3) of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titicd Training: The training of UE audit personnel shall be accomplished as described to meet the require-ments of Regulatory Guide 1.146 (ANSI N45.2.23 - 1978) as endorsed in this Appendix and OQAM Section 18.

With regard to Section 2.4 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Mainte-nance of Proficiency: The maintenance of proficiency of UE audit personnel shall be accomplished as described to meet the require-monts of Regulatory Guide 1.146 (ANSI N45.2.23 - 1978) as endorsed in this Appendix and OQAM Section 18.

With regard to Section 3.3 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Essen-tial Elements of the Audit System: UE shall comply with subsec-tion 3.3.5 as it was originally written (subsection 3.2.5) in ANSI N45.2.12, Draft 3, Revision 4: " Provisions for reporting on the effectiveness of the Quality Assurance Program to the respon-sible management." For the auditing organization (UE), effective-ness shall be reported as required by the Callaway Plant Tech-nical Specifications. Other than audit reports, UE may not directly report on the effectiveness of the quality assurance programs to the audited organization when such organizations are outside of UE.

Subsection 3.3.6 requirements are considered to be fulfilled by compliance with the organization and reporting measures outlined in this Operating QA Manual and the Callaway Plant Technical Specifications. In every case either identical or equivalent controls are provided in the sections of the referenced docu-monts.

Subsection 3.3.7 requires verification of effective corrective action on a timely basis.

Verification of the implementation of corrective action is performed as indicated in Section 16 of this OQAM, Corrective action program effectiveness is determined through audit or surveillance as described in Section 18 of this OQAM, using previously issued corrective action documents as input to the scope of audits and surveillances. Additionally, trending of corrective action documents will be used to reveal potentially ineffective corrective actions and the effectiveness of the corrective action program.

With regard to Section 3.4 of ANSI N45.2.12-1977 titled Audit Planning: Identical or equivalent controls are provided in this OQAM, Section 18.

A-31 Rev. 16 6/93

OQAM APPENDIX A l

REGULATORY GUIDE 1.144 (cont.)

With regard to Section 3.5 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Sched-ulina: Identical or equivalent controls are provided in this OQAM, Section 18 for the requirements of Subsections 3.5.1 and 3.5.2. Subsection 3.5.3.1 is interpreted to mean that UE may procedurally control qualification of a contractor's or suppli-er's quality assurance program prior to awarding a contract or purchase order by means other than audit. The measures outlined in Sections 4 and 7 of this OQAM address the requirements of Subsection 3.5.3.1.

With regard to Section 4.3.1 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Pre-Audit Conference: UE shall comply with requirements of this Section by inserting the word "Normally" at the beginning of the first sentence. This clarification is required because, in the case of certain unannounced audits or audits of a particular operation or work activity, a pre-audit conference might inter-fere with the spontaneity of the operation or activity being audited. In other cases, persons who should be present at a pre-audit conference may not always be available: such lack of avai-lability should not be an impediment to beginning an audit. Even in the above examples, which are not intended to be all inclu-sive, the material set forth in Section 4.3.1 shall normally be covered during the course of the audit.

With regard to Section 4.3.2 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Audit Process:

(a) Subsection 4.3.2.2 could be interpreted to limit auditors to the review of only objective evidence; sometimes and for some Program elements, no objective evidence may be availa-ble. UE shall comply with an alternate sentence which reads:

"When available, objective evidence shall be examined for compliance with Quality Assurance Program requirements. If subjective evidence is used (e.g. personal interviews, direct observations by the auditor), then the audit report must indicate how the evidence was obtained."

(b) Subsection 4.3.2.4 is modified as follows to take into account the fact that some nonconformances are virtually

" obvious" with respect to the needed corrective action:

"When a nonconformance or Quality Assurance Program defi-ciency is identified as a result of an audit, unless the apparent cause, extent, and corrective action are readily  ;

evident, further investigation shall be conducted by the audited organization in an effort to identify the cause and effect and to determine the extent of the corrective action required."

A-32 Rev. 16 6/93

OQAM APPENDIX A REGULATORY GUIDE 1.144 (cont.l (c) Subsection 4.3.2.5 contains a recommendation which is clar-ified with the definition of " acknowledged by a member of the audited organization" to mean that "a member of the audited organization has been informed of the findings."

Agreement or disagreement with a finding may be expressed in the response from the audited organization.

(d) Subsection 4.3.2.6 is modified as follows to account for the fact that immediate notification is not always possible:

" conditions requiring immediate corrective action (i.e. ,

those which are so severe that any delay would be undesira-ble) shall be reported immediately to the audited organiza-tion and as soon as practical to the management thereof."

With regard to Section 4.3.3 of ANSI N45.2.12 -

1977 titled l Post-Audit Conference: UE shall substitute and comply with the following paragraph: "For external audits, a post-audit confer-ence shall be held with management of the audited organization to present audit findings and clarify misunderstandings; where no adverse findings exist, this conference may be waived by manage-ment of the audited organization: such waiver shall be documented in the audit report. Unless unusual operating or maintenance conditions preclude attendance by appropriate managers /supervi-sors, a post-audit conference shall be held with managers / super-visors for internal audits for the same reasons as above. Again, if there are no adverse findings, management of the internal audited organization may waive the post-audit conference: such waiver shall be documented in the audit report."

With regard to Section 4.4 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Renort- l ina:

(a) This Section requires that the audit report shall be signed by the Audit Team Leader ( ATL) ; this is not always the most expeditious route to take to assure that the audit report is issued as soon as practical. UE shall comply with Section 4.4 as clarified in the following opening: "An audit report, which shall be signed by the Audit Team Leader (ATL), or the ATL's supervisor in the ATL's absence, shall provide: . . . "

In cases where the audit report is not signed by the ATL due to absence, one record copy of the report must be signed by the ATL upon return. The report shall not require the ATL's review / concurrence / signature if the ATL is no longer employed by UE at the time the audit report is issued.

(b) UE shall comply with subsection 4.4.3 clarified to read:

" Supervisory level personnel with whom significant discus-sions were held during the course of pre-audit (where conducted) audit, and post-audit (where conducted) activ-ities."

A-33 Rev. 16 6/93

OQAM APPENDIX A 1

EfGQi.ATORY Q GUIDE 1.144 (cont.)

(c) Audit reports may not necessarily contain an evaluation statement regarding the offectiveness of the Quality Assu-rance Program elements which were audited, as required by subsection 4.4.4, but they shall provide a summary of the audited areas and the results which identify the importance of any adverse findings.

With regard to Section 4.5.1 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled By Audited Orcanization: UE shall comply with the following clarifi-cation of the Section: Management of the audited organization or activity shall review and investigate adverse audit findings, as necessary, (e.g. where the cause is not already known, another ,

I organization has not already investigated and found the cause, etc.) to determine and schedule appropriate remedial action. The audited organization shall assure documentation of remedial action taken is provided. Adverse audit findings shall be evalu-ated to determine the need for action to prevent recurrence. If such action is deemed necessary, the results of the investigation (root cause analysis), the corrective action taken or planned to prevent recurrence, and a schedule for implementation shall be provided by the audited organization. Such evaluations and imple-mentation of actions shall be scheduled and performed consistent with the safety significance of the item. The audited organiza-tion shall take appropriate action to assure corrective action is accomplished as scheduled. In the event the action or schedule of implementation must be changed, the audited organization shall provide a revised response on or before the originally scheduled completion date which statuses the corrective action and states its completion date. Evaluation progress and corrective action implementation will be performed and tracked in accordance with provisions of Section 16 of the Union Electric Operating Quality Assurance Manual.

With regard to Section 4.5.2 of ANSI N45.2.12-1977 titled By Auditina Orcanization: UE shall comply with the following clari-fication of the section: For internal audits, performed by or for the Quality Assurance Department, follow-up actions will be taken l by the audited organization as described in Section 16 of this OQAM. The internal audit program implemented in Section 18 of this OQAM provides assurance that the corrective action program requirements are properly implemented. By sampling responses to l

conditions adverse to quality, the adequacy of root cause analy-sis, implementation of remedial action, and action to prevent recurrence are verified to assure effective corrective action  ;

program implementation. Therefore, the auditing organization will l not necessarily evaluate the adequacy and assure action is iden-  !

tified and accomplished for each adverse finding. External audits shall comply with section 4.5.2 of ANSI N45.2.12-1977.

Other personnel may assist Lead Auditors in the conduct of audits; namely, technical specialists, management representatives, auditors and other Lead Auditors. The persons having direct responsibility for performance of the activities being audited shall not be involved in the selection of the audit team. Personnel selected for QA auditing or surveillance assignments shall have training or experience commensurate with the scope, complexity, or special nature of the activities to be reviewed or investigated and shall have no direct responsi-bility for the area being evaluated. The QA personnel training program shall provide general orientation and specific training which develop competence for performing audits or surveillances.

1 2244 18.4 QA Department personnel who perform audit and 2245 surveillance activities shall be qualified in 2259 accordance with the requirements prescribed in 3866 QA Department procedures. Lead Auditor qualifica-tion requirements shall include education or professional status, previous work experience or training, training received through UE, on-the-job performance and participation in surveillances or audits as an auditor, a qualification examination, and other factors applicable to auditing not defined by procedure. The qualification certifica-tion of Lead Auditors shall be based on an evalua-tion of these factors by the Manager, Quality Assu-rance. The maintenance of proficiency by Lead Audi-tors shall be accomplished by active participation in the audit process; a review of program, codes, standards, procedures and other document revisions related to the OQAP; or participation in training programs. The Manager, Quality Assurance shall provide for annual assessments of each Lead Auditor to determine proficiency. As long as a Lead Auditor is performing satisfactorily and is maintaining proficiency, there is no limit on the period of certification. However if at anytime the Lead Audi-tor's performance is evaluated as being unaccept-able, Lead Auditor certification shall be rescinded. In addition the failure to maintain proficiency for a period of two years or more shall be basis for Lead Auditor certification revocation.

If certification is rescinded or revoked, requali-fication shall be required prior to recertifica-tion.

Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Inspection, Examination, and Testing Personnel (Endorses ANSI N45.2.6-1978)

DISCUSSION:

Regulatory Guide UE complies with the recommendations of this with the following clarifications:

The qualification of UE QC or contracted QC personnel performing Guide work at the Plant shall be in accordance with Regulatory 1.58 (ANSI N45.2.6-1978). Other personnel performing inspection, examination, and testing activities shall have appropriate expe-rience, training, and retraining to assure competence in accor- posi-dance with Regulatory Guide 1.8 (ANSI /ANS 3.1-1978). This tion is consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.33 (ANSI N18.7-1976/-

ANS-3.2, Section 3.4.2).

In instances where the education and experience recommendations of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 are not met by QC personnel, UE shall demon-strate by documented results of written examinations and evalua- possess tions of actual work proficiency that these individuals comparable or equivalent competence. Persons performing Nondes-tructive Examinations (NDE) as may be required bycertified Section III or as XI of the ASHE B&PV Code shall be qualified and is required by the Edition and Addenda of the Code to which UE qual-committed at the time the NDE is performed. However, when VT-3, and ifying personnel to perform visual examinations XI, VT-2,Division 1, VT-4 in accordance with IWA-2300 of Section N45.2.6-1973 ANSI /ASKE N45.2.6-1978 may be used instead of ANSI (Code Case N-424). Persons certified to perform NDE for Code work non-Code NDE shall also be considered as qualified to perform (e.g. crane hook inspection) unless more rigorous qualification or certification requirements are imposed by UE's commitments or government regulations.

The specific location of a record "within a storage area" may not sithin a computer be delineated. (e.g. The specific location may not be constant. Further, UE may utilize a record file computer assisted random access filing system where such location be could not be readily " documented," or would such a location

Description of and Justifications for Proposed Changes to the Operating Quality Assurance Manual (OQAM)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The bracketed numbers [ ] in this attachment may apply to several changes. The affected OQAM sections are referenced following each justiGcation. It should be noted some sections may appear under more than one justification. Based on Union Electric's evaluations, the proposed changes do not represent a reduction in the Operating Quality Assurance Program (OQAP) as previously accepted by the NRC.

The OQAM continues to meet the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B.

[1] Organization changes made to improve interdepartment and/or intradepartment coordination and efficiency. (Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.7, 1.12, 1.18-1.21, 1.23, 1.26, 2.1, 4.7, 15.10)

[2] Changes to Commitment Tracking System numbers. These numbers appear in the left margin. They are an internal tracking system for UE commitments and have no impact on the stated text. (Sections 1.6, 1.11, 1.21, 1.24, 1.25, 2.0, 2.6, 2.10, 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.22, 3.23, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, 4.14, 5.1, 7.2, 7.6, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, 7.11, 7.17, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 9.1, 10.1, 10.7, 10.8, 10.10, 10.13, 11.7, 11.8, 12.1, 12.2, 12.5, 12.6, 13.1, 13,2, 15.2, 15.3, 16.1, 17.1, 17.6, 17.8, 17.9, 17.10, 17.11, 18.1, 18.3, 18.7, 18.10, 18.11, 18.12, 18.13)

[3] Editorial changes made to remove redundancy, clarify references, clarify terminology, reformat in a more logical sequence or to clarify meaning.

(Sections 1.20-1.26, 13.2, Appendix A Reg. Guide 1.38, Reg. Guide 1.39, Reg.

Guide 1.88)

[4] Minor wording changes (clarifications) made based on an NRC telecon on 9/3/93 dealing with the initial OQAM Revision 16 submittal. These changes do not increase or reduce any previous commitments. (Sections 15.10, Appendix A Reg. Guide 1.8, Reg. Guide 1.88)

4 Attachment to ULNRC-3015 Page 2 of 2

[5] Changed wording on the frequency required for audits not under the cognizance of the NSRB and Technical Specifications. Since regulations now associated with these areas require annual audits, this is not a reduction in commitment. The change will, however, allow frequency changes in the future if the associated regulation changes. (Section 18.8)

[6] This change will allow the most appropriate department to disposition nonconformances. I&C has been previously allowed to perform these design related dispositions by delegation per OQAM Section 3.10. These evaluations will be performed in accordance with plant procedures which require an engineer to perform them. Because I&C engineers have access to the same technical and background information and are equivalent as far as qualifications, this is not a reduction in any previous commitment. it is merely a clarification to clearly state I&C is allowed to perform these dispositions. (Section 15.6) 4 J
