L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 37 Page 2 of 31 HUMBOLDT BAY QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN (HBQAP)
INTRODUCTION Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has established and is implementing a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 (HBPP Unit 3) and Humboldt Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (HB ISFSI) to assure compliance with established regulatory requirements set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The Humboldt Bay QA Program consists of the HBQAP and implementing procedures and instructions. The HBQAP describes the responsibilities for implementing quality requirements; establishing and maintaining the QA Program; and assessing the performance of activities subject to the HBQAP.
The HBQAP is a comprehensive statement of the quality assurance controls governing the Important to Safety (ITS) Structures Systems and Components (SSC). The HBQAP describes the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and interfaces. The HBQAP satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 71 Subpart H and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G. The requirements for management and administrative controls are described in appendix B of this HBQAP.
The requirements and commitments contained in the HBQAP are mandatory and must be implemented, enforced, and adhered to by all individuals and organizations performing activities affecting quality. Workers are encouraged to actively participate in the continued improvement and implementation of the HBQAP. Any necessary changes should be promptly communicated and implemented.
The implementation of the requirements of the HBQAP is performed in a graded approach commensurate with any items or activities importance to safety. This graded approach is applicable to ITS SSCs and is responsive to NRC Regulatory Guide 7.10.
The HBQAP is implemented through the use of approved procedures (i.e. policies, procedures, manuals, instructions, or other documents) that provide written guidance for the control of ITS items and activities. The HBQAP also provides for development of documentation to demonstrate objective evidence of compliance with the stated requirements.
L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 37 Page 3 of 31 1.0 ORGANIZATION PG&Es efforts are to assure the quality and safety of the decommissioning of the HBPP Unit 3, packaging and transportation of radioactive material and the operation and maintenance of the HB ISFSI utilizing the HBQAP. The program is organized in a structured manner with clearly defined levels of authority, assignments of responsibility and lines of communication.
Assignment of the responsibility for an item or activity includes responsibility for its quality. The Quality Organization provides independent oversight of quality activities and maintains lines of communication with Senior Management.
PG&E has assumed full responsibility for the establishment and execution of the HBQAP prescribed herein, programs and administrative procedures. The work of executing selected portions of the HBQAP may be delegated to organizations external to PG&E; however, in all such instances, PG&E retains overall responsibility.
Specific responsibilities pertaining to quality assurance matters are assigned by the HBQAP and its implementing procedures and instructions to various individuals throughout PG&E. In each instance, the assignment of a responsibility to an individual includes with it a commensurate delegation of sufficient authority that the person can, in fact, fulfill that responsibility. Unless otherwise specifically prohibited, it is understood that the functions, tasks and activities necessary to carry out a responsibility may be delegated to and performed by other qualified individuals.
All delegations of functions, tasks, activities and authority shall be documented. Individuals may fulfill more than one function unless prevented by the need to maintain independence as specified in the HBQAP.
Figure 1 illustrates the Humboldt Bay ISFSI organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and interfaces of persons and organizations performing activities governed by the HBQAP.
