1 AUDIT AND REVIEW PLAN EOR THE IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY l AGN NUCLEAR REACTOR Nuclear Engineering Laboratory Idaho State University Pocatello, Idaho 83209 K, C. Crawford Reactor Supervisor I

Revised 4 February 1992-9202270338 920218 PDR ADOCK 05000284 G PDR t

I. Purpose This document sets forth the requirements for the Audit and Review Program for the Idaho State University's AGN Research Nuclear Reactor (R-110). The audit and review program is established to provide a method for the independent audit and review of the safety aspects of reactor facility operations to advise facility management. The purpose of the audit and review program is to ensure that all facility do umentation is completely and properly maintained to satisfy R-110 licensing conditions.

II. Regulatory Requirements Audit Audits and reviews are functions explicitly assigned to the Reactor Safety Committee or subcommittee (s) thereofin the R-110 Technical Specifications (TS). Audits shallinclude an examination of the following pursuant to TS 6.4.3:

(1) reactor operating records (defined in TS 6.10) annually, (2) operator requalification procedures biennially, (3) changes in equipment or deviations from procedures, (4) emergency proculures biennially, and (5) facility security procedures biennially.

Review The TS does not specify a review frequency for items 1-7 in the list below. These reviews will be performed on an as needed basis. Item 8, however, is required to be reviewed on a biennial schedule not to exceed 30 months. Review topics outlined in TS 6.4.2 include the following:

(1) all new experiments utilizing the reactor facility (2) all proposed changes to the facility license by amendment, and to the Technical Specifications.

(3) audit reports (4) significant operating abnormalities or deviations from normal and expected performance of facility equipment that affect nuclear safety (5) approvals of all determinations of whether a proposed change, test or experiment would constitute a change in the Technical specifications or an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10CFR50.59.

(6) reportable occurrences and the reports filed with the NRC for said occurrences (7) all standard operating procedures and changes thereto (8) all standard procedures, the facility emergency plan, and the facility security plan.

III. Guidelines Audit l

The audit process is described in the ANSI /ANS standards. Audits are selective examinations of the i

I

s operating records. ANSI /ANS 15.1 (6.2.4) and ANSI /ANS 15.18 (3.5.4.) both suggest and TS 6A3-requires that in no case shall the individualimmediately responsible for the area audit that area - Audit -

4 reports should be submitted directly to_the Facility director as the Level I representative of_ facility management, and to the audit group members within three months after the audit has been completed.

Sebjects of examinations include operating records, logs, and other documents involving the following:

(1) Emergency Plan (2) Physical Security Plan -

(3) Operator Requalification Plan (4) Radiation Safety Program (5) Standard Operating Procedures.

Review The review process is further described in the ANSI /ANS standards. Reviews are program-wide examinations.to assess overall. compliance with_the Code of Federal Regulations, NRC Regulatory Guides, ANSI /ANS Standards, Technical Specifications, NUREG's, and other documents.fANSI/ANS 15.1 (6.2.3(8))and ANSI /ANS 15.18 (3.5.3(h))both suggest that audit reports be included in the review .

process. - Review reports should be submitted directly to the Facility Director as the Level I representative of facility management, and to the review group members in a timely. manner after the review has been completed. These plans, programs, and procedures to be reviewed include the following: *

(1) Emergency Plan (2) Physical Security Plan (3) Operator Requalification Plan (4) Radiation Safety Program (5) Standard Operating Procedures ,

IV. Responsibility Since responsibility for audit and review program lies solely with the Reactor _ Safety Committee (TS 6.1.6,6.4.2, and 6.4.3) a subcommittee thereof shall be established to conduct and. report activities associated with this plan. Audit and Review subcommittec(s) shall be composed of at least three persons (ANS!!ANS 15.1 (6.2.1)). Members and alternatives shall be appointed by and report to the Facility Director as Leve1 1 management. Members shall be appointed from the Reactor Safety Committee and shall collectively represent a broad spectrum of expertise in the appropriate _ reactor technology. No subcommittee member shall be assigned to audit in an area for which the mem_ber has .

_ pri nci pa l responsibility. Qualified and approved alternates may serve in the absence _ of regular.

members.

Audit and review activities shall be initiated by the Chairman of the RSC at the regularly scheduled RSC meeting prior to'the scheduled activity by assigning a. member of the subcommittee the responsibility _

of completing the identified task. A suggested schedule for performance of these activities is contained-in the appendix.

. s V. Criteria for Assessment The auditor or reviewer must have criteria (bases) to judge when an item is in compliance. For audits, an item is not in compliance if a procedure is incomplete either through failure to initiate a procedure or failure to appropriately complete the procedure. For reviews, an item is not incompliance if the plan, procedures, or other reports do not document the regulatory requirements or guidelines.

VI. Audit and Review Materials Audit Audit Reports shall be filed on a form NEL-029 (see appendix) and shall be submitted to the Facility Director in a timely manner. The following outline is provided to assist the auditor in selecting the proper audit materials, The bases (plans, procedures, and programs) are to be used to compare records for compliance.

Yll. Correction of items Not in Compliante Management of the reactor facill'y will assess items listed not in compliance, if the item requires action, the appropriate procedure shall be determined. For example, if an entry is missing on a procedure, information concerning the item shall be acquired and the item shall be corrected with an initialed and dated entry on the procedure. If an item constitutes a reportable occurrence, then the item shall be reported pursuant to TS 6.9.2. If a procedure or plan requires modineation, facility staff will draft the modlSed document for review by the RSC at the next meeting. Other situations will be corrected appropriately.

VIII. l' allure to Begin Audit or Review Audits and reviews are required to be performed on a regular schedule established in the TS as suggested in the appendix. Failure to satisfy the frequency requirements of the TS is based on the intervals between the last day of the last audit or review and the Drst day of the next audit or review, the time required for the function is neglected.

IX. Records Program tracking shall be maintained in the Audit and Review Log. When an Audit Report NEL-029 or Review Report NEL-034 is submitted by a subcommittee member to the facility Director, the report shall be placed into the Audit and Review Log. Filing of the report shall be logged in the Biennial Audit and Review Program Checklist, NEL-035 (see appendix). These records shall be maintained in the Facility for at least three years before being Died in the archives.
