DESIGN CONTROL 3.1 PURPOSE / SCOPE i
To establish the requirements, responsibilities and control measures for assuring that design bases and regulatory requirements are correctly translated into design documents. The I scope of design control covers all phases of engineering design, including: conceptual design selections; identification of design inputs (criteria and bases); identification and control of i design interfaces; production of design documents, calculations !
j and analyses; procurement-related engineering; design l
verification; and installation engineering support. !
l
3.2 DESCRIPTION
i l
l Design control measures are established to assure modifications 1 and design changes meet the appropriate performance and quality !
requirements. These design control measures are commensurate l l with those applicable to the original design and assure that l modifications are designed and implemented in accordance with applicable codes, standards and regulatory commitments.
The Nuclear Station Engineering Department has overall responsibility for design control activities at Clinton Power Station (CPS). These design control activities are managed within the context of the Nuclear Program Configuration i Management Program, which also includes provision for controlling hardware and software items (procedures, training, etc.) which comprise the configuration of CPS and also includes final design approval of changes or modifications for incorporation into the plant. Processing of a modification, and the associated I design / design change documents under this program ensures appropriate participation and awareness by CPS organizations throughout the design development and installation process.
Provisions of this program also ensure that each modification or design change receives a thorough safety evaluation, that meets regulatory commitments or ensures that the basis for not performing the safety evaluation is documented.
Page __1_. of _5__ REVISION 2 's
l ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL chapter 3 New design ot design changes shall be defined by drawings, specificatious, change notices or other documents as prescribed in design control procedures. The organization actually performing the design work, either Nuclear Station Engineering or l a qualified consultant-engineer is req.lired to include the I following considerations in the design of each modification: l l
- a. Appropriate design bases, regulatory requirements, l safety requirements, performance objectives, i design margins, special processes, material and I testing requirements, and operating objectives are adequately translated into the various design documents.
- b. Appropriate design analysis (e.g., physics, seismic, stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation and accident) is part of the design process.
- c. Accessibility requirements for operation, testing, ,
maintenance, in-service inspection and repair are j included in the design.
- d. Necessary installation or modification inspection and test accep';ance criteria are included in the design documents or modification packages. l
- e. An evaluation to determine if the proposed design !
change or modification involves an "unreviewed ,
safety question". l
- f. Design control measv es shall include criticality physics and radiatic shielding for radioactive material shipments. ;
l
- g. Design control measures shall include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents and that deviations from such standards are controlled.
Additionally, the organization which produces and approves the design / design change documents shall maintain detailed procedures to control and document performance of the following design activities:
- a. Identifict. tion a'id selection of design inputs.
- b. Identification and control of interfaces between organizations required to make input to, review'or approve final design products.
i Page _2_. of __5_ REVISION 25 l
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM l QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL chapter 3
- c. Performance of calculations or analyses which demonstrate that design products satisfy the design inputs, including those performed using computer codes. *
- d. Production, review, approval and revision of drawings, specifications, data sheets or other design output documents.
- e. Classification and specification of technical requirements for equipment or material procurements associated with the design / design change.
- f. Verification that the design inputs, interfaces, calculations and final design products are ,
adequate and correct; and that the installation :
satisfies all specified design requirements.
The form and structure of the procedures'and instructions used to accomplish these activities may vary dependent upon the complexity of the design and the different organizations involved in the design development.
Design verification for the final design products will normally be done by an 'ndependent group or person within the organization actually producing the design. When this is a consultant-engineer organization, Nuclear Station Engineering may choose to conduct, or direct, additional independent design verifications.
This verification consists of a check of design adequacy by such methods as design reviews, use of alternate calculations or methods, or performance of verification or qualification testing. j The method, or combination of methods, used to verify a design will be selected on a case-by-case basis. The selection will be based on consideration of such things as: a) uniqueness of the design or application, b) complexity of the design, c) prior history of use, d) importance to safety, and e) consequences of failure. CPS operating phase design verification other than qualification testing of prototype or lead production unit will, where practical, be completed prior to installation and operation. 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 unverified documents related to the design are appropriately identified and controlled. However, design verification shall be completed !
prior to the component, system or structure being released for ,
operation. j Page ._3__ of ._5_. REVISION 25
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 Verification by test will normally be included in procurement documents that require the supplier to perform the test and use i
the most severe design conditions as acceptance criteria. These procurement documents shall require that the test procedure, including acceptance criteria, be submitted to Illinois Power or its designee for review and approval prior to performance of the j test.
When a verification test cannot be performed prior to installation, proposed testing programs shall be reviewed and approved by Illinois Power to ensure that no unresolved safety
- questions are iavolved and the testing is conducted within l licensing limita.Sns prior to the point when the installation l would become irre nasible.
The entire design control process shall be subject to audits and surveillances to ensure that design activities are implemented in accordance with program requirements. (CCT 8345) 3.3 RESPONSIBILITIES l

CONTROL OF PURCHASED MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES j l q 7.1 PURPOSE / SCOPE To define the requirements and responsibilities for programs that assure purchased material, equipment, and services conform to i procureme,nt requirements. !
7.2 DESCRIPTION
l Measures have been established to provide assurance that l 1 purchased material, equipment, and services conform to l l procurement document requirements. This assurance is
, accomplished by controlling both the selection of procurement sources and inspections of the product at the source and/or upon ,
receipt at CPS. (CCT 8353) l l
, IP procurement procedures require a review of material, equipment l and services requisitions for safety-related struct' ares, systems, and components. This review will identify the applicable co' des, !
i standards, technical and quality requirements to assure that they
- are equivalent to the original requirements. When alternate requirements are imposed which are not equivalent to the original requirements, the alternate requirements will be fully evaluated and documented. The necessary reviews and evaluations of the
- procurement source's capability to meet the technical requirements of the procurement documents will also be performed.
l Reviews and evaluations are performed of the procurement source's
- quality assurance program and ability to meet the quality 1 assurance and technical requirements of the procurement l documents. (CCT 8354) Where necessary, a supplier's acceptability is determined by an audit of the supplier's quality assurance program. Such audits are performed in accordance with a written plan or checklist to determine the ability of the supplier to comply with the quality assurance program requirements of the procurement document. (CCT 8355) The 1 determination of a supplier's acceptability may be made by means i other than by audits. These means msy include
- as review and evaluation of the supplier's quality assurance program description document, b) review and evaluation of historical supplier quality performance data, c) supplier facility surveys, l d) review and evaluation of audits, surveys, and inspections conducted by other utilities, or American Society Mechanical Engineers (ASME), or e) documented information from organizatic.ns, including architect-engineer, Nuclear Steam Systems Supplier, and other utilities that indicates the supplier l

When these means are either not available or do not permit a complete evaluation of a supplier's quality capabilities, a survey or an audit will be conducted of the supplier. A Qualified Suppliers List is maintained. (CCT 8356)
In addition to reviewing a supplier's capability to meet the I commercial requirements of the procurement documents, a review is performed to ensure that the required technical and quality assurance evaluations have been completed satisfactorily prior to contract award or release of the purchase order. The results of these reviews and evaluations are documented.
When required by the procurement document or specification, l surveillances and evaluations at the supplier's facility are conducted to verify continued compliance with the quality assurance requirements of the procurement documents. Source inspections at the supplier's facility are accomplished by qualified individuals or qualified agents to verify that the l procurement item or service is being supplied in accordance with the requirements of the procurement documents. Such inspections are accomplished in accordance with written procedures, plans, and/or checklists containing or referencing appropriate acceptance criteria. (CCT 7997) l Upon receipt at CPS, safety-related materials, parts, and components are controlled. Qualified inspection personnel are responsible for inspecting, releasing, and identifying purchased material and equipment as to the inspection status. (CCT 8357)

~ . CHAPTER ituNOIS POWER COMPANY i DocuMENTCONTROL l 3 l DESIGN CONTROL CONIECllEC CCM i CUNTON l'9WLM eTATION i 3.1 PURPOSE / SCOPE To ' establish the requirements, responsibilities and control-measures for assuring that design bases and regulatory requirements are correctly translated into design documents. The scope ; of ,
design control covers all phases of engineering design, including: concept 2al design selections; identification of design inputs: .l (criteria and bases); identification sad control of . design , interfaces; . production of design documents, calculations' and analyses; procurement-related engineering; design verification; and ' ( installation engineering support. j i
3.2 DESCRIPTION
l Design control measures are established to assure modifications and i design changes meet the appropriate performance and quality ! requirements. These design control measures are commensurate with l those applicable to the original design and assure- that : modifications are designed and implemented .in accordance with l applicable codes, standards and regulatory, commitments. l The Nuclear Station Engineering Department has. overall h responsibility for design control activities at -Clinton Power j Station (CPS). These design control activities are managed within t the context of the Nuclear Program Configuration Management l Program, which also includes provision for controlling hardware and' ; software items (procedures, training,- etc.) which comprise. the l configuration of CPS and also includes final design approval of j changes or modifications for incorporation into the plant.
. Processing of a modification, and the associated design / design change documents under this program- ensures . appropriate j participation and awareness by CPS organizations throughout the design development'and installation process. i Provisions of this program also ensure that each , modification .or ;
design change receives a thorough safety evaluation, - that meets ! regulatory commitments or ensures that the basis for not performing the safety evaluation is documented. If the change -is - determined

Subject:
OA Manual Chaoter 3 - Design Control & Commitments Summary I contacted B. Burgess to discuss the problem identified on CPS Condition Report 1-94-06-025 regarding wording in Chapter 3 of the QAM that states changes to commitments contained in approved safety analysis reports shall be submitted for regulatory approval prior to implementation. I told Mr. Burgess that it was not our intention nor was it our practice to obtain prior NRC approval for every change but that we used the guidance of 10FR50.59 in determining when prior NRC approval was required for design changes. I informed Mr. Burgess that we would be changing the QAM but had some concern that the NRC might consider this a " reduction in commitment" as described by 10CFR50.54(a). Mr. Burgess recommended that we make the QAM match the regulation (10CFR50.59) and that we should note in our QAM change that the statement (currently in the manual) was made in error and that as such the change does not constitute a reduction in commitment requiring prior NRC approval. I thanked Mr. Burgess for his assistance on this matter. ) JVS/csm l l

Because this wording implies that USAR changes must be approved _ by the NRC prior to implementation. This change closes Condition Report number 1-94 025 and does not constitute a reduction in commitment per Record of Coordination between Licensing and the NRC (Y-216380). Authority is granted to the licensee under Title 10 Code of Federal (10CFR) Regulation Part 50.59.

s ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Revision 25 Matrix of Changes Chapter 4 Page Paragraph Change / Reason For Change 3 of 3 4.3.4 Moved the responsibility to " evaluate and suppliers for technical ability." from 4.3.5.a Nuclear Station Engineering to Nuclear Assessment. Organizational Responsibility Change. This is not a reduction in commitment because this activity is performed during supplier audits by the Nuclear ! Assessment organization which ensures the independence and technical expertise of the audit team. i The performance-based supplier audits l are performed at the supplier's l facility and determines whether the supplier should be placed on the Qualified Suppliers List (QSL). The basis for this determination is a first hand account of the supplier's program, personnel and technical capability. The Nuclear Station Engineering Department's (NSED) evaluation of supplier technical ability has been based on the supplier being on the Qualified Supplier List, being the ori'ginal equipment manufacturer, having certifications (such as ASME or UL) and/or based on previous procurement history with the supplier. The NSED evaluation in essence was more i administrative and did not require j engineering expertise because the process of getting a supplier on the QSL addressed the technical evaluation aspects. The use of performanced based supplier audits has made a separate NSED evaluation for technical ability unnecessary. Page 6 of 20
