Louisiana Powar & Light Company's objective is to design, construct and I
operate its nuc2 aar generating station (s) with the highest degree of func-t tional integrity and reliability that is necessary to avoid undue risk to the health and safety of employees and the general public.
In order to accomplish this objective, LP&L has developed the LP&L Quality Assurance Program (Program) which is described in this LP&L Quality Assurance Manual (Mecual). The Panual describes what LP&L, together with its major contractors, plan to implement as a quality assurance program 2
k.,
in order to assure that all safety-related activities are performed in a controlled oianner and are documented to provide objective evidence of l
compliance with NRC regulations and guidance. The Manual is approved by the Quality Assurance Manager and the Vice President-Power Production.

Procedures have been established to document methods for implementing the QA Manual requirements. The procedures provide assurance that required inspecticns and tests have been successfully perfor=ed, that the acceptability of an item with regard to inspection and test is known throughout test, installation and operation, that bypassing of required inspections, tests and other critical operations is controlled under the cognizance of the QA organization.
14.2 Identification System A system is established at Waterford 3 which controls by approved procedures the application and removal of inspection and welding stamps and status indicators such 3
as tags, markings, labels and stamps. The status of inspections and tests performed upon individual items of the plant shall be indicated by the use of mark?.ngs such as t
