The S&W Quality Assurance Coordinator had direct contact with the Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Manager for quality assurance matters, as well as with the Westinghouse Project' Manager during the design and construction phase.
Appendix A is organized as follows:
A.2
- Duquesne Light Company Quality Assurance Program A.2.1 - Duquesne Light Company Design and Construction Quality Assurance Program applicable at the latest revision of the original FSAR (Amendment 18 dated November 1975), BVPS-1 A.2.2 Present Duquesne Light Company Operations Quality Assurance Program, BVPS-1 A.3
- Stone Webster Engineering Corporation Quality Assurance Program used during the Design and Construction Phase, BVPS-1 A.4
- Westinghouse Power Systems Division Quality Assurance Plan used during the Design and Construction Phase, BVPS-1 A.5
- Westinghouse Nuclear Fuels Division Reliability and Quality Assurance Program, BVPS-1 A.1.2 Quality Assurance Categories Equipment and structures, whether safety related or not, are subject to engineering review, and shop and field inspection to a degree proportional to the value of the equipment and to its contribution to
- safety, accessibility, reliability and operability.
The three quality assurance categories defined below are not levels of quality per se, but rather denote differences in application of the Quality Assurance Program.
Category I and only Category I is intended to include activities affecting structures, systems, portions of -systems, and equipment to which the
criteria
- apply, i.e.,
structures, systems, portions of systems, and components which are safety related.
Within that category, there may be differences in the quality specified, depending upon the nature of the component and its contribution to public safety (e.g.,
the rebars in upon A.1-2
BVPS-1-UPDATED FSAR Rev. 0 (1/82) the intake structure differ in this respect from the material in the reactor vessel), but the formal Quality Assurance Program incorporating the intent of the eighteen criteria in Appendix B to 10CFR50 applies without exception to'all items classified as Category 1.
The equipment and structures in Categories II and III are not safety related when considered in the above context.
Hence, the applicability of the Quality Assurance Program for these categories is not determined by the eighteen criteria in AppendixBto10CFR50butratherbytheApplicant'spolicyandisl3 a matter of agreement between the Applicant and his agents and suppliers.
Costly and critical power generation equipment in Category II normally are specified and inspected to a degree comparable to that afforded important safety-related equipment in Category I, but procedural aspects of quality assurance may be somewhat less stringent if so agreed to by the Applicant.
The various " classes" such as " piping class", Seismic category I, etc.,
should not be confused with the quality assurance categories nor considered as subdivisions of the three categories.
The three quality assurance categories are defined as follows:
1.
Category I - Plant systems, or portions of systems, l
structures and equipment whose failure or malfunction could cause a release of radioactivity that would endanger public safety.
This category also includes equipment which is vital to a safe shutdown of the plant and the removal of decay and sensible heat, or equipment which is necessary to mitigate consequences to the public of a postulated accident.
2.
Category II Plant
- systems, portions of
- systems, structures and equipment that are essential for the reliable generation of power but which are not essential for a
Failure of this equipment could result in loss of generation but would not endanger public safety.
3.
Category III Plant systems, po*tions of systems, l
structures, and equipment which are not essential for l
the reliable generation of electricity and which do not contain radioactive material or whose failure could not result in the release of radioactive material.
The term
" essential for the reliable generation of electric power" in the definition of Category II is interpreted to mean structures, systems and components, whose failure would result in l(
a halt of electric power generation in about 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or less.
