The UFSAR Appendix IB and QA Policy are the same document except for the way changes are incorporated. The QA Policy is updated when each change is approved. Revisions to the QA Policy

,7 are controlled by QA Program documents which are written to ensure compliance with 10 CFR  ;

L Page 13 of 60

1 QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY Resision 43 i I

cs 50.54(a)(3). The UFSAR Appendix IB is updated annually. All QA Policy changes approved during the )

previous year are incorporated during that update.

(

V)

The QA Policy identifies NRC regulatory requirements, industry standards, and specific codes applicable to the eighteen criteria contained in 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The QA Policy also indicates action that will be taken by BGE in response to these documents and to commitments made in the UFSAR and TSs for i CCNPP.

Quality Assurance Procedures (QAPs) describe controls for the actions identified in the QA Policy. QAPs l cover major activities related to operating a nuclear power plant, such as plant operation, plant j maintenance, training, parchase ofitems and senices, calibrations, etc.

Nuclear Program Directives address actions identified in UFSAR Appendix 1B. Directives identify regulatory commitments, management requirements, and assign responsibilities for business activities (i.e.,

design, maintenance, operations, etc.) within the BGE Nuclear Program. As directives are written and implemented, they will systematically replace QAPs.

BGE's QA Program for CCNPP is applied to structures, systems, components, and activities that have )

been designated SR because they prevent accidents or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents j that could cause undue risk to the health or safety of the public. The QA Program is also applicable to i designated NSR structures, systems, components, activities, and senices as required by in regulations. l Designated NSR program requirements are based on a graded approach to Quality Assurance required to l meet applicable regulatory designated requirements and guidance. The level of QA Program controls  !

placed on designated NSR items are defined in QA Program documents and/or implementing procedures. )

The controls from other sections of this QA Policy are selected as necessary to meet the particular i regulations being implemented. I O

Q Controls have been established for specifying on a Quality List (Q-List) all SR structures, systems, components, and activities that are subject to the requirements of the QA Program.

j 1

The Statement of Authority, in the Quality Assurance Manual for Nuclear Power Plants, signed by the j Chairman of the Board, establishes the overall QA Policy of BGE. This Statement sets the goal of safe and reliable operation of CCNPP; commits the Company to a QA Program designed to ensure the plant's compliance with regulatoiy requirements, BGE commitments, and established practices for reliable plant operation; and requires every person involved in QA Program activities to comply with the provisions of the Program.

The Policy is approved by the Vice President-NED and implemented by Nuclear Program Managers. (1)

The QA Program has established controls for BGE and its contractors as required to ensure that the criteria of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, will be met throughout the operations phase of the plant; i.e., during activities of testing, operation, maintenance, repair, modification, and refueling.

The QA Program has also established controls to ensure that the construction, operational, and decommissioning phases for the independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) are conducted in compliance with 10 CFR 72. Activitics associated with the operational and decommissioning phase shall be controlled under the CCNPP 10 CFR 50 Appendix B QA Program; existing policies, programs, directives, and procedures stated as applicable for CCNPP are also applicable for the ISFSI. (16)

l To ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.59, the process for controlling changes, tests, or experiments has been divided into classifications. Procedures required by QA Program documents describe and control the method for determining the appropriate process classification. The process classifications control the preparation and reporting of safety evaluations Three methods of treatment are allowable:

1. Implementing the change, test, or experiment in accordance with Company practice for operating f power plants, or in accordance with Procedures required by QA Program documents.
2. Implementing the change, test ' or experiment in accordance with Procedures required by QA Program documents but controlling the change, test, or experiment with a process classification.  ;

)

3. Controlling the change, test, or experiment with a process classification and not allowing the implementing activity to begin until the review requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, have been met.

Changes. tests, or experiments which require approval by the NRC are approved by the POSRC and by the OSSRC.

I Controls have been established to ensure that design changes to SR structures, systems, and components are reviewed either by the organization that made the original design or by a Responsible Design i Organization (RDO) that meets requirements specified in ANSI N45.2.11, Section 8.0.

Responsible Desien Orcanizations RDOs, either on contract or within BGE, ensure that:

I, Applicable regulatory requirements and design bases requirements are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, written procedures, and instructions.

2. Appropriate standards for quality are specified in design documents, and deviations and changes from such standards are controlled.
3. Suitable design controls are used in applying principles of reactor physics; making seismic, stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation, and accident analyses; ensuring compatibility of materials; and prosiding accessibility for in-senice inspection.

QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY Revision 43 Vendor surveillance, verification and audit activities, and receipt verification are conducted to n)

!.O ensure the vendors comply with specified technical and quality requirements, and ensure items are identified, stored, handled and shipped in accordance with procurement document requirements.

Vendor Evaluation The vendor evaluation is conducted to determine acceptability of a vendor to proside the requested item or senice, to determine what vendor programs, procedures and documents need to be invoked by the procurement document, determining the vendor's performance history for supplying items to CCNPP and assessing the need to impose source surveillances and/or verifications during the manufacture ofitems or performance of senices for BGE. Vendor evaluations depend on the procurement classification of the item (s) being supplied.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), by virtue ofits being the nationally recognized standard, is an acceptable provider of calibration masters, standards or senices. Utilities holding an NRC Construction Permit or Operating License are acceptable suppliers of all items except for those items to be used in an ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III application. Neither of the above are required to be listed on the Approved Vendors List (AVL).

Nuclear Grade NQAD performs evaluations and audits to verify that the vendor has developed and implemented an acceptable quality assurance program that complies with the requirements specified in the procurement specification or proposed procurement specification. These evaluations and audits are conducted and documented using written procedures or checklists that identify the QA requirements applicable to the items supplied.

p Commercial Grade o Since BGE accepts the responsibility of verifying the conformance of commercial grade items an&or servwe, they may be procured from vendors with no formal quality assurance program. In this instance, BGE dedicates the conunercial grade item and/or senice for SR use.

A survey may be performed of commercial vendors to assess what, if any documented controls are implemented in the manufacture ofitems or performance of senices for BGE.

V-ndor controls evaluated to be satisfactory may be invoked as requirements within the purchase order and may be used as part of the basis for acceptance of the item.

The depth of vendor evaluation varies according to the complexity and function of the item involved and to the role of the vendor in acceptance of the item.

Vendor Approsal Upon completion of the evaluation, satisfactory vendors are added to BGE's AVL. The vendors on this list are evaluated on an annual basis and subject to re-audit or commercial grade survey on a triennial basis to verify continued compliance with BGE's requirements.

An auditing organization such as NUPIC, anodier utility, a contractor to BGE, etc., may be used to verify that the vendor has developed and implemented a QA program that complies with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B or a conunercial grade program that complies with the requirements of BGE's procurement requirements or similar requirements.

(nv)

Page 27 of 60

QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY Revision 43 When required by operational considerations, an order may be placed with a vendor prior to completion of O

\

the evaluation and approval process only after obtaining the Manager-NSSD's approval. BGE's acceptance of basic component items or i.enices provided by an unapproved vendor is contingent on the subsequent NQAD evaluation and approval of the vendor as stated above.

Verification of Vendor Activities Vendor surveillance, and source verification activities are conducted by qualified NQAD personnel in accordance with written procedures or checklists. These procedures or checklists, along with the procurement documents, specify the characteristics or processes to be witnessed, inspected or verified.

Personnel performing these activities are qualified to establish whether or not a vendor is capable of providing products of acceptable quality.

The depth and frequency of vendor .urveillances, verifications and audits is commensurate with the complexity and function of the item or senice and the ability of the vendor to provide the necessary assurance of acceptability.

When a vendor's certificates of confomiance are used as part of the acceptance of an item or senice, the validity of these documents is periodically evaluated and documented by the above mentioned processes.

Receipt NSSD is responsible for receiving and storing materials, parts, and components.

Additionally, NSSD is responsible for performing standard and special receipt inspections and coordinating testing necessary to accept SR items, designated NSR items and commercial grade items for SR use.

O g Standard receiving inspection ofitems is performed to assure the following: j

l. The item is properly identified and that this identification corresponds with the documentation received.
2. Stated packaging, shipping and handling requirements have been maintained.
3. Items have not been damaged, workmanship is of adequate quality, and the items are adequately clean in accordance with procurement document requirements.
4. Documentation required by the Purchase Order has been received and is reviewed to assure that the item conforms to the purchase order requirements.

Special receiving inspection may be required if the item was not inspected at the source; when requested by the RDO or; as part of the acceptance basis for commercial grade items.

A written record of the results of the NSSD receipt inspection and the disposition of received items is maintained as part of pennanent plant records.

All SR and designated NSR items accepted and released for issue to a controlled storage area or released for installation or further work bear an acceptance tag and have documentation to support their acceptability. If traceability is lost or the documentation review is unsatisfactory, an item becomes subject to the controls established for non-conforming items.

A h Controls have been established for identifying, documenting, segregating, reviewing, dispositioning, and notifying affected organizations ofissues affecting materials, parts, or components (i.e., items).

Issues affecting nuclear plant items are referred to as nonconformances. Nonconformances are hardware deficiencies which render the quality of an item unacceptable or indeterminate.

Any individual identifying an actual or suspected nonconforming item is responsible for documenting and reporting such nonconforming item promptly to supenisory or Nuclear Quality Assurance Department personnel.

Nonconfonning items are controlled by documentation, marking, logging, tagging, or physical segregation to prevent inadvertent installation or use.

Nonconfonnance control documents are submitted to responsible departments for resolution. Designated personnel have the responsibility and authority for approving the resolution of nonconformances.

Nonconformance control documents are not closed until corrective actions have been completed.

- Nonconforming items are dispositioned as rework, repair, reject, or accept-as-is. The disposition of a repair or accept-as-is nonconformance is treated as a design change and is evaluated and approved or rejected by the RDO.

Reworked, repaired, and replacement items are inspected and/or tested in accordance with the original inspection and/or test requirements or acceptable altematives to ensure that critical characteristics possibly affected by the nonconformance remain acceptable.

p)

(

Nonconforming items may be conditionally released for installation, test, energization, pressurization, or use if the conditional release will not adversely affect nor preclude identification and correction of the nonconfomiance. Nonconforming items required for Technical Specification operability may be released for use following verification that the nonconforming item meets all operability requirements specific to its function and is approved for use by authorized Operations personnel. Conditionally released items will be resolved in accordance with this Section. Conditional release evaluations are documented, reviewed, and approved prior to implementation.

1B.16 CORRECTIVE ACTION (6)

Controls have been established to ensure that issues are identified, documented, reviewed, and corrected.

These controls are applied to deficiencies associated with the programmatic content, process, and implementation of the Quality Assurance Program as well as nonconformances (ref Section 1B.15).

Corrective actions are implemented by responsible personnel and may include immediate actions, remedial actions and/or actions to prevent recurrence, based on the significance and extent of the issue.

Issues identified as potentially impacting the safe production of nuclear power are evaluated for Technical Specification Operability, NRC Reportability, Nuclear Safety Significance, and if the activity should be stopped. The VP-NED, or designated alternate, is informed ofIssues which require NRC notification.

Corrective action verification is performed for Significant Issues prior to the close-out of the corrective action document. Verification is performed and documented by individuals not directly involved with implementing the corrective action (s). Unacceptable corrective action (s) are reported to supenisory or management personnel directly responsible for resolving the issue and to progressively higher levels of

/ T management until the issue is resolved.

18.17 OUALITY ASSURANCE RECORDS P

Controls have been established to ensure that quahty assurance records are maintamed to provide -  !

documentary evidence of the quality of SR and designated NSR items and activities. Applicable design  ;

specifications, procurement documents, test procedures, operational procedures, QAPs, TSs, and other documents specify recorda that should be generated, supplied, or maintained by and for BGE. .

Quality assurance records are classified as lifetime or non-pemianent. f Lifetime records, maintained for particular items for the life of CCNPP, for particular items have significant value in relation to demonstrating capability for safe operation; maintaining, reworking,  ;

repairing, replacing, or modifying an item; determining the cause of an accident or malfunction of an item; j

and providing required baseline data for in-senice inspection.  ;

Non-permanent records, which show evidence that a SR and designated NSR activity was performed in l accordance with applicable requirements, are retained for periods sufficient to ensure BGE's ability to reconstruct significant everts and to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements. Retention periods are i based on requirements specified in QA Program documents. Retention periods shall be documented.

Procurement documents specify vendor responsibilities for the generation, retention, and submission to  !

BGE of quality assurance documentation related to the fabrication, inspection, and test of SR and l designated NSR items and senices.

Inspection and test records contain the following as appropriate:  !

1. Description of the type of observation.

Additional j audits are performed as required to ensure that all requirements of BGE's QA Program are properly;  ;

implemented according to procurement documents.

Audits of designated activities as required by the TSs are performed under cognizance of the OSSRC.

Audits are performed in accordance with preestablished written procedures or checklists by qualified NQAD personnel who have no direct responsibility for the work being audited. Technical specialists from i other BGE departments and outside consultants may assist as necessary'in performing audits ' Audits i include objective evaluation of quality-related practices, procedures, instructions, activities, and items, as  !

well as review of documents and records. i l

. Reports of audits are analyzed and documented. Results that indicate the QA Program to be inadequate, i ineffective, or improperly implemented, including the need for re-audit of deficient areas, are reported to the

  • Manager and Supervisor of the audited activity. Controls have been established for verifying that corrective action is taken promptly to correct noted deficiencies.

To ensure that BGE's NQAD complies with the requirements of BGE's QA Program, an independent management audit of NQAD activities is performed annually by a Joint Utility Management Audit (JUMA)

Baltimore Gas and Electric Ouality Assurance Program Requirement Some of the Industry Standards listed in Section 1B.2 identify other Standards that are required, and some Regulatory Guides define the revisions of those Standards that are acceptable to the NRC.

Response

BGE's QA Program was developed to respond to the specific revision of the documents listed in Section 1B.2 and is not necessarily responsive to other documents listed in the referenced Industry Standards.

ANS 3.2 - 1976 j Item i Esquirement em Section 5.2.15 requires that plant procedures shall be reviewed by an individual knowledgeable in the area i Q affected by the procedure every two years to determine if changes are necessary or desirable.

Response

BGE applies this requirement of a two-year review to all plant procedures except test procedures performed less often than every two years or at unspecified frequencies. These are reviewed no more than 60 days before performance. ,

c Ecasin Engineering Test Procedures (ETPs) and others like them are written for a one-time-oruy performance and kept for reference for future similar tests. If they are used again, they are reviewed and modified to meet conditions existing at the time of perfonnance.

Some Surveillance Test Procedures (STPs) are performed every three to five years. They too are reviewed before cach performance to ensure that they are compatible with existing conditions and responsive to current needs.

Item 2 (10)

Reagirement Section 5.2.2 specifies that temporary procedure changes that clearly do not change the intent of the approved procedure shall as a minimum be approved by two members of the plant staff knowledgeable in the areas affected by the procedure; and at least one of these individuals shall be the supervisor in charge of

'A the shift and hold a senior operators' license on the unit affected.

l Many proposed temporary procedure changes do not require the Shift Supenisor's immediate attention or knowledge of the change since they do not affect plant safety. Other SROs are available and qualified to l perform this task since the Shift Supenisor's detailed review of the proposed change is not necessary to ensure plant safety.  ;

U l 1- Paragraph 3.2.1 states that positions at the functional level of Manager are those to which are assigned i broad responsibilities for direction of major aspects of a nuclear power plant. This functional level

generally includes the plant manager (plant superintendent, or other title), his line assistants, if any, and the i principal members of the operating organization reporting directly to the plant manager and having overall

Baltimore Gas & Electric has two positions in its organization, Superintendent-Nuclear Operations and 4

General Supervisor-Nuclear Plant Operations. Neither of these positions needs to individually meet all of the requirements of both paragraphs 3.2.1 and 4.2.2. The Superintendent-Nuclear Operations will satisfy paragraph 3.2.1 and most of 4.2.2 except that he will not maintain an SRO license, instead, the Superintendent-Nuclear Operations will hold or have held an SRO license. The GS-NPO will hold and 4 maintain an SRO license. The GS-NPO satisfies paragraph 4.2.2, but he does not satisfy 3.2.1 because he

He will have an excellent understanding of plant operations. The GS-NPO will not only hold an SRO license at the time of appointment to the pc cition, but he will maintain the license. The GS NPO directly supenises the operating shift organization, whereas the Superintendent-Nuclear Operations is also responsible for operations procedure development, modifications acceptance, and operations / maintenance coordinations. The Superintendent-Nuclear Operation's level of supenision does not require current in-depth and plant specific knowledge which results from maintaining an SRO license.

Item 2 (17)

Esquiremtttt Paragraph 3.2.2 states that supenisors are persons principally responsible for directing the actions of operators, technicians, or repairmen. Those positions usually designated as intermediate and first line supenisors are included in this category.

Reauiremqpn.1 Subsection 2.7 requires that activities covered by the Standard shall be divided into four levels, though recognizing that within the scope of each level there may be a range of controls depending on the importance'of the item to safety and reliability.

Besoonse  ;

1. The level of protective measures defmed by Subsection 2.7 are applied to Basic Component purchases.
2. Personnel of BGE's Nuclear Engineering Department (NED) will determine the level of protective measures to be applied to Commercial Grade purchases. -

BREtu BGE's position is as follows:

1. For Commercial Grade items, it is not always possible to assign a level of classification in accordance with ANSI N45.2.2, as many items are purchased after they have been packaged by the manufacturer and shipped to his local agent, the wholesaler.
2. Experience has'shown that the level of protection assigned to Commercial Grade items by vendors is adequate.

.vh Item 4 Reauirement Subsection 3.0 specifies detailed requirements for packing items for each level defined in Subsection 2.7.

Response

BGE has replaced Section 3.0 with the following:

1. Packaging for Shipment to BGE Personnel of BGE's NED or NSSD shall ensure that procurement documents for Basic Component and Commercial Grade item purchases either indicate that the normal methods of packaging and shipment used by industry in general are acceptable for the items being procured or specify the level of protection assigned to the item and the requirement that the vendor conform to applicable requirements for items in that classification defmed in Regulatory Guide 1.38, Rev. 2 - March 1977.

3. Packaging for Storage by BGE  !

L in general the packaging used by the vendor to ship items for all types of purchases to BGE need not be retained after the item is received by BGE, provided that the item is stored in an area that meets j

. the requirements for a storage area for the level of protection assigned to the item. Special or unique  :

items, however, may require special protective measures. For such unusual items, the Department  ;

that initiated the purchase, together with NED, or NSSD shall identify if any of the requirements of Section 6.4.2 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972 apply.

l t

Reason

1. His substitution will ensure that the item will receive adequate protection during shipment and storage, thus eliminating unnecessary restrictions and enabling BGE to use commercial sources to the utmost.

O 1. Shipping to Baltimore Gas and Electric  ;

BGE will invoke the requirements for shipping specified in Section 4.0 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972 on i Basic Component purchases only when NED or FSSD personnel have specified in procurement -

documents that the item shall be packaged in confonnance with ANSI N45.2.2, Section 3.8. ,

BGE will not invoke the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2 -(1972, Section 4.0, on Commercial Grade l item purchases. '

2. Shipping from Baltimore Gas and Electric j

ltems shipped from BGE need not conform to any of the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2, but the  ;

organization that packs and handles the item shall provide roughly the same level of protection that  ;

the item was given during shipment to BGE. j c

Reason  !

If engineering personnel have determined that the vendor's methods of packaging are acceptable, they have j already detennined that the supplier's methods of shipping are adequate. As items are shipped from BGE '

only for repair. the detailed requirements specified in Section 4.0 of ANSI N45.2.2 are not necessary.

(O) i Reauirement Subsection 6.4 gives detailed requirements for care of items in storage, according to the protection levels assigned to the items.

Response

.BGE does not require items to be stored in the packing used for shipment if the storage level in the area provides the same protection as the level of packing assigned to the items. Caps, covers, etc., will be required only if specified by NED or NSSD personnel during the procurement process. If an item is taken from one storage area to another, however, the persons who move it are responsible for ensuring, as applicable, that additional packing is supplied to give adequate protection during transportation.

Reason .

The degree of protection given an item during storage should be tailored to the importance of the item to safety and the probability of deterioration during storage; to base storage requirements purely on the categories in Subsection 2.7 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972 is impractical. BGE requires NED or NSSD personnel to specify requirements more closely related to the actual function of items and to storage conditions.

Item 7 Reauirement p Subsection 7.3.3 requires compliance with a series of ANSI documents.

V Er192nse BGE controls for the use of hoisting equipment are compatible with the Standards listed in Subsection 7.3.3 of ANSI N45.2.2, although at the discretion of the Plant General Manager, they need not be I

compatible with documents referred to in these documents.

Reason Lower-level documents referred to in the documents listed in Subparagraph 7.3.3 will not necessarily affect i the ability of BGE personnel to properly handle SR items and could lead to confusion.  ;

Reason i

In the past, the date of calibration noted on the instrument was important because the calibration history of i

A s e LJ Page 54 of 60

QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY Resision 43 Reason n

() BGE is in agreement with the basic purpose of ANSI N45.2.23--that is, to establish minimum educational or experience requirements for Lead Auditors. We think, however, that the system of credits outlined in ANSI N45.2.23 tends to reduce the size of the pool of potential replacement auditors without makmg redeeming improvement in the capabilities of persons selected.

We calculated the credit score of 11 of our present Lead Auditors at the time they were appointed Lead Auditors. Six had completed Navy Nuclear Training and spent several years in the Navy Nuclear Program. Four of these scored only 8 credits total, including 2 credits allowed by paragraph 2.3.1.4 of ANSI N45.2.23 for rights of management based on their having completed the BGE QA training programs for Lead Auditors.

One of our auditors, with neither nuclear nor power plant experience, had a credit score of 12 because he held a Bachelor's degree in engineering and was a professional engineer with over 5 years design experience.

Because all of these individuals have acted as Lead Auditors satisfactorily for several years, it appears that the credit system should be re.ised slightly to allow for the differences in education and experience of r

prospective Lead Auditor candidates.

l We consider the flaw in the current system to be the emphasis on educational requirements that will allow a person with a Master's degree and no nuclear or power plant experience to become a Lead Auditor, but will exclude a person who has no degree, even though he may have 20 years' experience in operating or maintaining nuclear or power plant systems.

The practical balance between education and experience will vary with individuals and particular work assignments. Any attempt to establish rigid requirements is likely to allow some unsuitable candidates to (V t meet the qualification requirements while excluding some acceptable candidates. 1 1

For these reasons, we think that the supenision of prospective Audit Team Leaders should be given more flexibility in determining whether, for a particular individual, educational or professional qualifications are more significant and valuable than past experience.

The present credit system, while recognizing the Associate degree, gives no credit for completion of the nuclear training programs. We think that someone who has taken Navy Nuclear Training or its equivalent in another armed senice, or someone who has completed the training required to become a licensed operator in a commercial nuclear power plant, should receive the same credit as a person who has an )

Associate degree from an accredited institution in engineering, physical sciences, mathematics, or quality l assurance.

l The points now awarded for education are related to the effect that formal courses might have on the ability  !

ofindividuals to comprehend the regulations or the technical aspects of activities being audited. The point l system makes no allowance for the fact that such knowledge comes gradually and not upon receipt of a l degree. Persons who have completed part of a degree course should receive a percentage of the credits allowed for that course.

The requirements for training specified in ANSI N45.2.23, paragraph 2.3.2, would seem to ensure that prospective Lead Auditors will meet the requirements of par . graph 2.3.1.4 dealing with the rights of management. We think, therefore, that all prospective Lead Auditors should qualify for these two credits.

QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY Revision 43 Similarly, the pre.s:nt system recognizes the effect that working in a QA Program will have on the ability of a person to comprehend regulations and technical requirements. Persons who are not assigned as full-time

(]

V members of the QA Organization, however, receive similar exposure if they perform activities controlled by a QA Progmm. We therefore allow such persons half the credits specified for quality assurance experience.

Item 2 hauirement 3.3 Requalification Lead Auditors who fail to maintain their proficiency for a pe.iod of two years or more shall be required to requalify. Requalification shall include retraining in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 2.3.3, reexamination in accordance with paragraph 2.3.5, and participation as an Auditor in at least one nuclear quality assurance audit.

Response

BGE requalifies Lead Auditors on the basis of the satisfactory performance of one audit, as obsened by a qualified Lead Auditor.

Reason The purpose of the training specified in paragraph 2.3.3 of the Standard is to ensure that candidates understand the fundamentals of auditing and the requirements for activities to be audited. The fact that persons have not maintained their proficiency does not mean that they need complete re-training; it means O

(./

only that they have not been able to resiew and study the applicable Codes, Standards, Procedures, instructions, and other documents related to QA Programs and program auditing. DGE considers that the satisfactory performance of an audit under the observation and guidance of a qualified Lead Auditor should ensure that persons with tapsed certification will review and understand the pertinent documents.

ANSI N101.4 - 1972 Reauirement Section 1.2 specifies applicability requirements for the Standard.

&snonse BGE requires that only activities perfonned inside containment structures and related to protective coatings applied to ferritic steels, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc-coated (galvanized) steel, concrete, or masonry surfaces shall conform to appucable Sections of ANSI N101.4.

k0120 Deterioration of protective coatings applied to surfaces outside cc.tainment structures would have no detrimental effects on the safe operation of the plant.

Response

. BGE has two approaches for safety-related and designated non-safety related procurement as described in

Sections, IB.4 and IB.7. Controls established for Basic Component Purchases correspond to t%

requirements of ANSI N45.2.13. The extent to which the individual requirements of ANSI N45.2.13 -

applied to Commercial Grade Purchases depends on the nature and scope of the work to be performe .o 3

the importance to nuclear safety and the items or senices purchased.' This approach is consistent with the i introductory discussion in Section 1.3 of ANSI N45.2.13 - 1973, a
