' YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY POLICY STATEMENT OPERATIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM lt_ is the policy cf those organizations operating under this Quality Assurance Program to strive for excellence in all aspects of nuclear power plant operation. This goal can only be attained if each individual recognizes that Quality is everyone's responsibility. Each worker, supervisor, and
- manager has a role to play in achieving the goal of "doing it right the first time." Only if we recognize that Quality is of paramount importance can we continue to provide for the safe and reliable generation of power.
The function of the Quality Verification Program is to assess the-adequacy, content, and appropriateness of the work being performed and to facilitate continuous enhancements. This function supports the line , organizations and provides management with needed feedback. However, I ! supervision and management should not rely solely upon the efforts of the l Quality Assurance Groups for quality verification they must also take an
. active role in self-assessment of those activities under their control to identify quality problems. As previously noted, the ultimate responsibility for quality lies with each individual.
I Under the program, the Yankee Atomic Electric Company President is the j final management authority responsible for assuring that this policy statement and the Quality Assurance. Program are implemented within the Yankee Atomic Electric Company. The Vermont Yankee Vice President, Operations, is the final management authority responsible for assuring that the Quality Assurance Program is implemented within the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation. j I The President or a Vice President is responsible for implementing the L program for those departments under his (or her) direction. The Director of
- Quality Assurance is responsible for establishment, control, and distribution ;
of the Quality Assurance Program and revisions thereto, and shall establish I policies under which the Quality Assurance Department operates. The Quality Assurance staff shall have the authority and organizational freedom to meet , the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B. i

EXCEPTION: l Subsection c.2 i The Yankee and Vermont Yankee plants take exception to the regulatory guide position on the exclusion of supervisors performing design verification. Al.TERNATIVE: The Yankee and Vermont Yankee plants will continue the accepted practices for independent design verification in accordance with the provisions of ANSI N45.2.11-1974, Section 6.1. I JUSTIFICATION: The exclusion of line supervision to perform design verification has proven to be an unnecessary burden on the resources within the engineering organizations of the company, and counterproductive during heightened periods of engineering activities. ANSI N45.2.11 contains specific limitations on the situations in which a supervisor is permitted to perform design verification. The standard states, "This verification may be performed by the originator's supervisor provided the supervisor did not specify a singular design approach, or rule out certain design considerations and did not establish the design inputs used in the design, or if the supervisor is the only individual in the organization competent to perform the verification." This control was developed through realistic evaluation of the practicable limits that restrictions impose on engineering organizations by the working group that developed ANSI N45.2.11. l l

Amendment / Revision Sheet Page: VI Rev.: 27 Date: December 20, 1996 , l
l YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY l l POLICY STATEMENT l . OPERATIONAL QUAllTY ASSURANCE PROGRAM L l It' is the policy of those organizations operating under this Quality
- Assurance Program to strive for excellence in all aspects of nuclear power plant operation. This goal can only be attained if each individual recognizes l
that Quality is everyone's responsibility. Each worker, supervisor, and manager- has a role to play in achieving the goal of "doing it right the first time." Only if we recognize that Quality is of paramount importance can we continue to provide for the safe and reliable generation of power. l The function of the Quality Verification Program is to assess the i adequacy, content, and appropriateness of the work being performed and to facilitate continuous enhancements. This function supports the line organizations and provides management with needed feedback. However, j~ supervision.and management should not rely solely upon the efforts of the Quality Assurance Groups for quality verification; they must also take an active role in self-assessment of those activities under their. control to ; identify quality problems. As previously noted, the ultimate. responsibility for quality lies with each individual. ( Under the program, the Yankee Atomic Electric Company President is the final management authority responsible for assuring that this policy statement and the Quality Assurance Program are implemented within the Yankee Atomic l Electric Company. The Vermont Yankee Vice President Operations, is the final
- j. management authority responsible for assuring that the Quality Assurance j Program is implemented within the, Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation. ,
i The President or a Vice President is responsible for implementing the l program for those departments under his (or her) direction. The Director of -l
.0uality Assurance is responsible for establishment, control, and distribution !
-of the Quality Assurance Program and revisions thereto, and shall establish policies under which the Quality Assurance Department operates. The Quality j
. Assurance staff shall have the authority and organizational freedom to meet j the requirements of 10CFR50. Appendix B. j l

JUSTIFICATION-I 1 The exclusion of line supervision to perform design verification j has proven to be an unnecessary burden on the resources within the engineering organizations of the company, and counterproductive j during heightened periods of engineering activities. ANSI l N45.2.11 contains specific limitations on the situations in which a supervisor is permitted to perform design verification. The standard states, "This verification may be performed by the originator's supervisor provided the supervisor did not specify a singular design approach, or rule out certain design considerations and did not establish the design inputs used in the design, or if the supervisor is the only individual in the organization competent to perform the verification." This control was developed through realistic evaluation of the practicable limits that restrictions impose on engineering organizations by the working group that developed ANSI N45.2.11.

YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY l APPENDIX B (continued) Justification: The current requirement to review each safety-related procedure on a biennial cycle results in the expenditure of significant technical and administrative resources. Programmatic controls and practices are in place to provide adequate reviews, including the following: l i
. The plant modification processes require that procedures '
affected by the modification be identified during the design change preparation, and revised prior to closure of the , modification package. l
. The Operating Experience Program involves the review of '
USNRC INP0, and vendor supplied information for applicability and determination of further action. This review includes an evaluation of applicable documents such I as procedures and the initiation of required changes. !
. Administrative controls currently exist requiring that if a ,
procedure cannot be performed as written, a procedure change must be completed prior to continuation of the procedure.
. Temporary changes are occasionally generated during, or prior to procedure use. Current administrative controls require that those changes that are permanent shall be incorporated into the procedure via the procedure revision process.
. As part of the audit and surveillance process, procedures are evaluated as to adequacy, ease of use, proper technical content, and compliance with applicable plans and programs.

YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY POLICY STATEMENT OPERATIONAL QUAllTY ASSURANCE PROGRAM It is the policy of those organizations operating under this Quality Assurance Program to strive for excellence in all aspects of nuclear power plant operation. This goal can only be attained if each individual recognizes that Quality is everyone's responsibility. Each worker, supervisor, and manager has a role to play in achieving the goal of "doing it right the first time." Only if we recognize that Quality is of paramount importance can we continue to provide for the safe and reliable generation of power. The function of the Quality Verification Program is to assess the adequacy, content, and appropriateness of the work being performed and to facilitate continuous enhancements This function supports the line organizations and provides management with needed feedback. However, supervision and management should not rely solely upon the efforts of the Quality Assurance Groups for quality verification; they must also take an active role in self-assessment of those activities under their control to identify quality problems. As previously noted, the ultimate responsibility for quality lies with each individual. Under the program, the Yankee Atomic Electric Company President is the final management authority responsible for assuring that this policy statement and the Quality Assurance Program are implemented within the Yankee Atomic Electric Company. The Vermont Yankee Vice President, Operations, is the final management authority responsible for assuring that the Quality Assurance Program is implemented within the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation. The President or a Vice President is responsible for implementing the program for those departments under his (or her) direction. The Director of Quality Assurance is responsible for establishment, control, and distribution -of the Quality Assurance Program and revisions thereto, and shall establish policies under which the Quality Assurance Department operates. The Quality Assurance staff shall have the authority and organizational freedom to meet the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B.

Programmatic controls and practices are in place to provide adequate reviews, including the following: ;
. The plant modification processes require that procedures affected by the modification be identified during the design change preparation, and revised prior to closure of the modification package.
2
. The Operating Experience Program involves the review of USNRC, INP0, and vendor supplied information for applicability and determination of further action. This review includes an evaluation of applicable documents such as procedures and the initiation of required changes.
. Administrative controls currently exist requiring that if a procedure cannot be performed as written, a procedure change ,
must be completed prior to continuation of the procedure. l
. Temporary changes are occasionally generated during, or prior to procedure use. Current administrative controls require that those changes that are permanent shall be !
incorporated into the procedure via the procedure revision l process. l

YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY APPENDIX B (continued) less than three (3) years, based upon the results of an annual functional area assessment. Justification: To utilize quality oversight resources more effectively, senior management desires the flexibility to direct resources to areas which have perceived weaknesses. The two-year audit cycle has not ensured that the frequency, scope and associated resources are based on the risk associated with the audit area. Vermont Yankee proposes to adjust the audit schedule based on empirical data and performance history to complete audits of safety-related functions within a period of three years. This modification meets the intent of published regulatory requirements involving activities important to safety. l 1 l 1

YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY i i l POLICY STATEMENT OPERATIONAL QUAllTY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
]
.i It is the policy of those organizations operating under this Quality-Assurance Program to strive for excellence in all aspects of nuclear power plant operation. This goal can only be attained if each individual recognizes that Quality is everyone's responsibility. Each worker, supervisor, and manager has a role to play in achieving the goal of "doing it right the first ;
time." Only if we recognize that Quality is of paramount importance can we continue to provide for the safe and reliable generation of power. The function of the Ouality Verification Program is to assess the-adequacy, content, and appropriateness of the work being performed and to facilitate continuous enhancements. This function supports the line ! organizations and provides management with needed feedback. However, supervision and management should not rely solely upon the efforts of the Quality Assurance Groups for quality verification; they must also take an active role in self-assessment of those activities under their control to j identify quality problems. As previously noted, the ultimate responsibility l for quality lies with each individual. Under the program, the Yankee Atomic Electric Company President is the final management authority responsible for assuring that this policy statement and the Quality Assurance Program are implemented within the Yankee Atomic Electric Cor.pany. The Vermont Yankee Vice President, Operations, is the final management authority responsible for assuring that the Quality Assurance Program is implemented within the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation. l The President or a Vice President is responsible for implementing the program for those departments under his (or her) direction. The Director of Quality Assurance is responsible for establishment, control, and distribution of the Quality Assurance Program and revisions thereto, and shall establish policies under which the Quality Assurance Department operates. The Quality Assurance staff shall have the authority and organizational freedom to meet the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B.
Title:
Policy Statement Page: 1 of 2 Rev.: 27 Date: December 20, 1996
YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY -j j The ' Plant Superintendent / Manager shall be responsible for the day-to-day l implementation of the program's procedural requirements at the plant, i The Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Committee shall review the adequacy t - and effectiveness:of this program. Any discrepancies and/or recommendations ! for corrections or enhancements shall be reported to the Cognizant Corporate. - Officer. The safe and reliable generation of power can only be achieved with the ; cooperation and support of all personnel. We expect that every individual will perform his or her task with the skill, professionalism, and dedication necessary to achieve this goal.

ALTERNATIVE: l The Yankee and Vermont Yankee plants will continue the accepted practices for independent design verification in accordance with l the provisions of ANSI N45.2.11-1974, Ser. tion 6.1. ! i l JUSTIFICATION: , l The exclusion of line supervision to perform design verification j has proven'to be an unnecessary burd?n on the resources within the l engineering organizations of the company, and counterproductive ] l during heightened periods of engineering activities. ANSI N45.2.11 contains specific limitations on the situations in which a supervisor is permitted to perform decign verification. The standard states, "This verification may De performed by the originator's supervisor provided the supervisor did not specify a l singular design approach, or rule out certain design considerations and did not establish the design inputs used in the design, or if the supervisor is the only individual in the organization competent to perform the verification." This control was developed through realistic evaluation of the practicable limits that restrictions impose on engineering organizations by the working group that developed ANSI N45.2.11. l l

i YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY POLICY STATEMENT i OPERATIONAL OVALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM lt is the policy of those organizations operating under this Quality Assurance Program to strive for excellence in all aspects of nuclear power l plant operation. This goal can only be attained if each individual recognizes. that Quality is everyone's responsibility. Each worker, supervisor, and manager has a role to play in achieving the goal of "doing it right the first time." Only if we recognize that Quality is of paramount importance can we continue to provide for the safe and reliable generation of power. j l The function of the Quality Verification Program is to assess the , adequacy, content, and appropriateness of the work being performed and to f facilitate continuous enhancements. This function supports the line organizations and provides management with needed feedback. However. l supervision and management should not rely solely upon the efforts of the l Ouality Assurance Groups for quality verification: they must also take an
- active role in self-assessment of those activities under' their control to identify quality problems. As previously noted, the ultimate responsibility for quality lies with each individual.
Under the program, the Yankee Atomic Electric Company President is the l final management authority responsible for assuring that this policy statement i l and the Quality Assurance Program are implemented within the Yankee Atomic l Electric Company. The Vermont Yankee Vice President, Operations, is the final management authority responsible for assuring that the Quality Assurance l Program is implemented within the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation. l The President or a Vice President is responsible for implementing the program for those departments under his (or her) direction. The Director of ! Quality Assurance is responsible for establishment, control. and distribution of the Quality Ass'n ance Program and revisions thereto, and shall establish policies under which the Quality Assurance Department operates. The Quality Assurance staff shall have the authority and organizational freedom to meet l- the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B.
Title:
Policy Statement Page: 1 of 2 Rev.: 27 Date: December 20, 1996 l !~

The Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Committee shall review the adequacy and effectiveness:of this program. Any discrepancies and/or recommendations for corrections or. enhancements shall be reported to the Cognizant Corporate Officer. The safe and reliable generation of power can only be achieved with the cooperation and support of all personnel, We expect that every individual will perform his or her task with the skill, professionalism, and dedication necessary to achieve-this goal.
