THE QUALITY MISSION -

^ ~

The designers, builders and management of Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company have been ,

committed to high standards of engineering and operational quality from the beginning. During i ,

. the ensuing years we have installed substantial plant modifications, conducted special W operational performance tests, and dramatically expanded personnel training programs and , .i

. staffing to insure continued' quality improvemonts in plant reliability and safety. ' Today Maine..

l Yankee is recognized by regulators and public alike as a leader in the industry with more than 20 ;

. years of superior performance and proven dedication to the principles of continuous quality .

improvement.

Uncompromising dsdication to continuous quality improvement must continue and be vigorously  :

, - pursued by every member of our organization if we are to deserve the public confidence that is 4 necessary for. continued success. Among other things, uncompromising dedication to quality .l'

@ ilmprovemont requires:

- Not only full understanding and compliance with requirements, but a willingness to continually question, upgrade and improve the requirements.

[

- ' Thorough . understanding of your job functions and an understanding of why yourjob n -is important. ,

• Producing, expecting and accepting nothing but the highest standards of

- performence. Make sure that the right things are done correctly the first time.

.. . identification, repair or reporting of any equipment, process or material in the plant o that is nonconforming, . deficient or otherwise not up to an acceptably high level of j performance.

[ Vice President, L!conciag-and Engineering and which are necessary to ensure the integrity of the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary, or the capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain a safe shutdown condition or the capability to prevent or mitigate

[ the consequences of an accident. The Vice President, Licencing and Engineering is responsible for establishing and maintaining documentation which designates the safety classification of plant systems. The program takes into account the need for special controls, processes, environmental conditions, equipment, tools and skills to attain the required quality and the need for verification of quality by inspections, evaluations or tests.

B. RESPONSIBILITIES Compliance with the requirements of the Operationc! Quality Assurance Program is the responsibility of all personnel involved with activities affecting operational safety.

Individuals responsible for establishing and executing the Operational Quality Assurance Program are delineated in Section I," Organization", of this Program.

C. IMPLEMENTATION The Operational Quality Assurance Program is established as required by, and to assure conformance with, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants.

Establishment of an effective Operational Quality Assurance Program is assured through conformance with ANSI Standards and the regulatory position of regulatory guides as specified in Paragraph F of this section of the QA Program. Implementation of this Program is assured through procedures derived from those standards and guides.

NOTES:

1) The plant Technical Specifications shall be the governing document when determining requirements to be imposed in all areas, which are addressed in both technical specifications and the specified standards and guides.

2) Revisions to the specified standards and guides will be considered for applicability to the Maine Yankee Operational Quality Assurance Program upon written
