ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING OUALITY ASSURANCE BRANCH REVIEW OF CHAPTER 17 0F AMENDMENT NO. 12 (Rev. 4 of CENPD-210-A and Letter of 12/15/87 versus NUREG-0800) 0F COMBUSTION ENGINEERING SYSTEM 80+ DESIGN,.CESSAR-DC PROJECT NO. 675 260.0 Quality Assurance 260,1 Clarify the C-E organization (s) involved in the System 80+ and under the cognizance of the QA rogram.
Describe responsibilities of each and related interfaces.
lAS) 260.2 Table 1 of C-E's 12/15/87 letter does not identify the organization (s) responsible for assuring design quality. That is.
Section 17.1.3.1 of CENPD-210-A describes the QA responsibilities of C-E's engineering organizations and the Manager of EQA, but these responsibilities are not described in the letter. Clarify where these responsibilities are since the September reorganization.
(182) 260.3 Describe the qualification requirements for the following QA management positions:
Vice President, Nuclear Quality Systems Director, Quality Operations Manager, Quality Programs Manager, Training and Administration.
(1C2) 260.4 Section 17.2.1. states that Table 17-3 shows the "typical equipment" covered by C-E's QA program.
For System 80+, identify in the SAR the specific equipment covered by the program. This can be done in Chapter 17 or in another chapter which is then referenced in Chapter 17.
(2Ala) 260.5 Describe measures which ensure that the development, control, and use of computer programs will be included in C-E's QA pragram and describe how the QA program will be applied.
(2 Ale) 260.6 Clarify that fire protection will be addressed'in the System 80+
SAR, and describe or reference C-E's QA provisions for fire l
protection. (2A10) 1 260.7 Provide a corriitment in CEhPD-210-A to inform the NRC of changes to the report in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55(f)(3).
(2B2, nod.)
260.8 Table 17-4 in CEhPD-210-A provides C-E's comitments to QA Regulatory Guides. Update the table to address the guides and revisions indicated below:
Regulator _y Guide Revision Date Coment 1.26 3
2/76 Released for Coment 1.28 3
8/85 1,29 3
9/78 1.58 1
9/80 1.123 1
7/77 See also pp. 17.4-1 & 17.7-1 1.144 1
9/80 8/80 1.146 Clarify with the comitment to Rev. 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.28 whether C-E will meet NQA-1 or N45.2,(N45.2.6, N45.2.9 etc.first paragrap Correspondingly, update Section 17.4 (first paragraph Section 17.10 (first paragraph), and Section 17.18 (first paragraph).
(2B3) 260.9 Describe measures which ensure that the QA organization and the necessary technical organizations participate early in the QA program definition stage to determine and identify the extent QA controls are to be applied to specific structures, systems, and components. This effort involves applying a defined graded approach to certain structures, systems, and components in accordance with their importance to safety and affects such disciplines as design, procurement, document control, inspections, tests, special processes, records, audits, and others described in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.
(2B3) 260,10 Construction pemit holders are subject to 10 CFR 50.55. Since there is no construction pemit holder involved in the design certification of C-E's System 80+, provide a comitment that C-E will meet 50.55(e)(1)(1 and 11), 50.55(e)(2, 3, and 4) and 50.55(f)(1) in confomance with the requirements of CENPD-210-A.
(284) 260,11 Section 17.2.6 of CENPD-210-A, "Management Evaluation of the QA Program " comits to an independent audit of the program at least once each two-year period. Upgrade this comitment to the e
performance of an annual independent, pre-planned, and documented assessinent (or audit) of the QA program where corrective action is identified and tracked or justify not doing so.
(2C1b) 260.12 Describe mcasures requiring a documented check to verify the dimensional accuracy and completeness of design drawings and specifications.
(3E1) 260,13 Describe measures requiring that design drawings and specifications i
are reviewed by the QA organization to assure that the documents are prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with corpany procedures and that the documents contain the necessary QA requirements such as inspection and test requirements, acceptance requirements, and the extent of documenting ir.spection and test i
results.
(3C2)
J
w 260.14 Discuss the timeliness of design verification of System 80+
including the timeliness of testing when testing is part of the design verification process.
(3E4 band 3E5b) 260.15 Clarify that design calculations, design analyses, topical reports, stem 80+ SAR are within the scope of CE's document control and the Sy(6A1) system.
260.16 Describe measures which ensure that documents are available at the work location before comencing work and that obsolete / superseded documents are removed and replaced in a timely manner.
(6A4and681) 260.17 Describe measures which ensure that suppliers furnish the purchaser a description of nonconformances from the procurement requirements that have been dispositioned "accept as is" or "repair." (7B3) 260.18 For commercial "off-the-shelf" items where specific QA controls appropriate for nuclear applications cannot be imposed in a practicable manner, describe measures which ensure that special quality verification requirements are established which provide the necessary assurance of an acceptable item by the purchaser.
(784) 260.19 Describe criteria C-E uses for determining which processes are controlled as special processes and provide as complete a listing of special processes as possible.
(9A1) 260.20 Describe measures which ensure that inspection procedures, instructions, or checklists provide for:
a.
Identification of characteristics and activities to be inspected, b.
A description of the method of inspection.
c.
Identification of the individuals or groups responsible for perfoming the inspection operation, d.
Acceptance and rejection criteria.
e.
Identification of required procedures, drawings, specifications, and their revisions.
j f.
Recording inspector or data recorder and the results of the j
inspection operation.
4 g.
Specifying necessary measuring and test equipment including accuracy requirements.
(10C1) 260.21 Describe measures which ensure proper corrective action when a computer code is found to be nonconforming.
Identify, by organi-zation or position title, C-E personnel authorized to review such nonconformances, disposition, and closeout.
