INTRODUCTION This manual describes the Quality Assurance Program for Operations (QA Program) applied to Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 & 2 (ANO) and its supporting organizations. This manual is intended to sen e as a standard reference for safety analysis reports to fulfill the requirements of the Standard Format and Contents of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, Section 17, published by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The objective of the QA Program is to control those phases, as applicable, for the design, procurement, inanufacture and fabrication, installation, operation, testing, refueling, repair, maintenance or modification to existing safety-related (Q-List) structures, systems and components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of a postulated accident which may cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
The QA Program is an cutgrowth of the principle that quality assurance emanates from each indisidual contributor and that management is responsible for creating an awareness of quality.
The QA Program is designed to comply with the requirernents of 10CFR50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, and also to comply with the quality assurance requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI for repair, replacement, and insenice inspection ofitems covered by the Code and Licensing commitments.
The QA Program is also designed to comply with the NRC positions contained in the following regulatory guides, subject to specific exceptions noted in Table 1 of tlus manual:

3.4 DESIGN VERIFICATION 3.4.1 To assure the design is adequate and the above requirements and procedures are implemented, Engineering is to verify the adequacy of the design through the performance of design reviews, the use of alternate or simplified j calculation methods, or the performance of a qualification testing program. The extent and depth of design verification perfonned by the responsible engineering section is determined by an assigned engineering resiewer l
based upon the importance and complexity of the design, the degree of standardization and its similarity with proven designs. In all cases, the design verification is to be complete prior to relying upon the component, system or structure to perform its function.
3.4.2 The verification process is to be perfonned by competent individuals or groups other than those who perfonned or supenised the des gn but who may be from the same engineering section. This verification, however, may be performed by the originator's supenisor in accordance with departmental procedures if he is the only individual I in the organization competent to perform the verification and provided the need is individually documented and approved in advance by the responsible Manager or Superintendent. The frequency and effectiveness of the use of Supenisors as design verifiers is to be verified by Quality personnel through scheduled audits to guard against abuse. Where changes to presiously verified designs have been made, design verifications are required for the change, including evaluation of the effects of the changes on the oserall design.

) When a test program is used to verify the adequacy of a design, it is to include suitable qualification testing of a prototype or initial production unit under the most adverse design conditions and carried out in accordance with documented procedures and/or instructions. Testing is to be perfonned as early as possible prior to installation of plant equipment, or prior to the point uhen the installation would become irreversible.
3.4.4 Design work performed by organizations outside of the Nuclear Organization is to receive a documented resiew and approval by engineering personnel in accordance with PMP control procedures and applicable departmental procedures.
3.5 DESIGN CHANGE 3.5.I Methods for the preparation, review, approval and implementation of design changes, including field changes, are documented in PMP control procedures and departmental procedures foi Engineering. Design changes are subject to review and verification by the same engineering section which reviewed and verified the original design unless otherwise specified in departmental procedures for design control. If changes to an approved design are required to meet plant requirements or conditions, Field Change Requests (FCR) may be issued or otherwise documented by a cognizant engineer and transmitted with the changes for review and approval in accordance with PMP control procedures and applicable departmental procedures.
3.5.2 Changes from specified design inputs, such as design bases, regulatory requirements, codes and standards (including quality standards) are to be identified, approved, documented and controlled through PhF control procedures and applicable departmental procedures.

ENTERGY QA MANUAL OPERATIONS REV. 19 OPERATIONS 4
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE SECTION: TABLEI PAGE TI-lI v2&
Interpretation:
In order to clarify use of these ACI standards, we will apply the following requirements:
PLACING TEMPERATURES OF CONCRETE:
A. During hot weather concreting:
Placing temperatures of con, icte will be limited to the following:
- 1) Concrete members less than 3 feet in least dimension will not exceed 90*F.
- 2) Concrete members from 3 feet to 6 feet in least dimension will not exceed 70 F.
- 3) Concrete members more than 6 feet in least dimension will have placing temperature as near 50*F as can be obtained by use of ice as necessary up to 100 percent of adding mixing water, and by shading aggregate and sprinkling the coarse aggregate the day it is to be used. Care will be taken so that no unmelted ice remains in the concrete at the end of the mixing period.
B. During cold weather concreting:
In heating the water and aggregate, live steam to heat the fine and coarse aggregate shall not be used. The permissible range for concrete temperature shall be as follows:
ENTERGY QA MANUAL OPERATIONS REV. 19 OPERATIONS ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE SECTION: TABLE 1 PAGE TI-12
t 1)
Sections less than 3 feet in least dimensions: $5 to 75'F
- 2) Mass concrete 3 feet or more in least dimension: 45 to 65 F I
The ndxing water ano aggregate will be purchased as required. The materials will be free ofice, snow and frozen lumps before they enter the i
mixer.
ANSI N45.2.5 Requirement:
(Section 4.8)
Section 4.8, "In-process Test on Concrete and Reinforcing Steel" states,
" Samples for in-process test of concrete shall be taken at the sampling point in 4
accordance with ASTM C172. This point may be at the truck mixer discharge if the last piece of conveying equipment is a chute, bucket, conveying system, or similar equipment. Pump concrete must be sampled from the pump line discharge."
Interpretation For perfonnance of correlation tests, the requirements of ANSI N45.2.5-1974 shall be followed.
ANSI N45.2.5 Requirement:
(Section 4.8)
Section 4.8, "In-process Tests on Concrete and Reinforcing Steel" contains Table B entitled, " Required In-process Tests." The following modifications to !
this table will be applied:
Interpretation:
REINFORCING STEEL In-process testing of reinforcing steel will include the mechanical properties of yield strength, tensile strength and percent elongation on full size specimens ENTERGY QA MANUAL OPERATIONS REV. 19 OPERATIONS ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE SECTION: TABLEI PAGE TI-13
~ - - - _ _ . _ _ _ _ _
l i
for each bar size for each 50 tons or fraction thereof from each mill heat. Bend tests are performed during material qualification testing only, except as noted below for bar sizes #14 through #18.
i Table A " Required Qualification Tests" as applied to reinforcing steel will include bend tests as required by ASTM A615 and summarized below:
a) For bar sizes #3 through #11, one full size specimen from largest bar size rolled from each mill heat, unless material from one heat differs by three or more designation numbers. When this occurs, one bend test shah be made from both the highest and lowest designation number of the deformed bars rolled.
b) For bar sizec #14 through #18, Supplementary Requirements Sl of ASTM A615 will be applied, i.e., one full-size specimen for each bar size for each mill heat. If supplementary requirements are not followed for mill tests, they will be applied as in-process tests.
The above interpretation is consistent with Regulatory GGde 1.15, " Testing Reinforcing bars for Category 1 Concrete Structures," Revision 1, December 1972.
In-process test specimens may be selected at the rebar fabrication shop, prior to start of fabrication of the rebar from the heat or f, action thereof represented by the test specimen.
Acceptance criteria for any failed test (qualifications as well as in-process) may be the same as that for tensile tests specified in Subarticle CC-2331.2 of ASME Section III, Div. 2 Code (1975). This states that if a test specimen fails to mca the specified strength requirements, two (2) additional specimens from the same heat and of the same bar size would be tested, and if either of the two additional specimens fails to meet the specified strength requirements, the material represented by th: tests would be rejected for the specified use.
ENTERGY QA MANUAL OPERATIONS REV. 19 OPERATIONS ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE SECTION: TABLE 1 PAGE TI-14
Alternative use of rejected material under strict control may be subject to evaluation by the Project Engineer.
4 ANSI N45.2.5 Requirement:
(Section 4.9)
- Section 4.9, Mechanical (Cadweld) Splice Testing states in paragraph 4.9.4
" Separate test cycles shall be established for mechanical splices in horizontal, i vertical and diagonal bars, for each bar size and for each splicing crew.. "
Interpretation: l The terms " horizontal, vertical and diagonal bars" will be interpreted to apply {
i respectively to the following types of splice positions:
i 1
- a. Horizontal, including 10* to horizontal i
- b. Venical, including 10 to venical
- c. 45* angle, including 10* to 80* angle
, The words " splicing crew" will be interpreted to refer to all members on the 1
project that are actively engaged in preparing and assembling Cadweld
] mechanical splices at the final splice location. Separate test cycles will be established for each bar size and each splice position.
ANSI N45.2.9 As a minimum, a When records are submitted (Section 4.3) receipt control for storage, personnel i
