l VANKEE-ATOMIG-ELEGTRIG-GOMPANY VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATlON POLICY STATEMENT l

OPERATIONAL QUALITY 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 cttained if each individual recognizes that Quality is everyone's' responsibility. Each worker, supervisor, and l 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 provida 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 l

facilitate continuous enhancements. This function supports the line i organizations and provides management with needed feedback. However, I supervision and management should not rely solely upon the efforts of the ,

Quality Assurance Groups for quality verification; they must also take an I l 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 the line organization. j i

l l Under the program, the-Vankee-Atemte-Eleete4e-Gempany-President-4s-the l final-management-authee4ty-responsible-fee-assueing-that-th4s-pel4ey-statement l and-the-Quality-Assuranee-Peegram-are-4mplemented-with4n-the-Vankee-Atemte l E4eetete-Gempany- T t_he Director of Operations Veement-Yankee-Sen4ee-V4ee l Pres 4dentr-0perattensr is the final management authority responsible for assuring that the Quality Assurance Program is implemented within the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation. l

~

l The Pres 4 dent-ee-a Vice President / Director / Department Head is responsible for implementing the program for those departments under his (or

-l her) direction. The Exeeutive Director of Quality Assurance reportinq to the l Director of Safety and Regulatory Affairs, is responsible for preoaration l establ4shment, control, and distribution of the Quality Assurance Program and revisions thereto, and shall establish policies under which the Guality Assurance Department operates. The Quality Assurance staff shall have the

Title:

Policy Statement Page: 1 of 2 l Rev. 1 28

l YANKEE-ATOMIG-EEEGTRIG-GOMPANY VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION authority and organizational freedom to meet the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B.

l The Plant SupeF4ntendent/ Manager shall be responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the program's procedural requirements at the plant.

The Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Committee shall review the adequacy and effectiveness of this program. Any discrepancies and/or recommendations l for corrections or enhancements shall be reported to the Director of l Operations Gegatzant-Geeperate-Off4eee.

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.

Subsection c.2 l

l The Vankee-and Vermont Yankee plants takes exception to the j regulatory guide position on the exclusion of supervisors performing design verification.

ALTERNATIVE:

l The Vankee-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. l l

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.

ALTERNATIVE:

Containers shall be of suitable construction to assure material is received undamaged.

JUSTIFICATION:

Containers shipped by closed carrier, stored inside and not subjected to a wet environment do not require weather resistant fiberboard, therefore, this is an unnecessary expense.

Additionally numerous vendors utilize shipping containers that do not comply with the specific requirements of this section, i.e.,

Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, or other procedures whose use may be event driven, will be reviewed every two years.

However, if a nonroutine procedure is fully exercised and there is a detailed scrutiny of the entire procedure as part of a documented training program, this may serve as the biennial review of the procedure used. l l

At least every two years, the Quality Assurance (or other l i

l independent) organization shall audit a representative sample of routine plant procedures that are used more frequently than every two years. The audit is to ensure the acceptability of the procedures and verify that the procedure review and revision program is being implemented effectively. The root cause of l i

l VANKEE-ATOMIG-EEEGTRIG-GOMPANY VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATI ON 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:

. 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.

. The Operating Experience Program involves the review of USNRC, INPO, 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.

l

. Administrative controls currently exist requiring that if a '

procedure cannot be performed as written, a procedure change l must be completed prior to continuation of the procedure.

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.

l Vankee-and Vermont Yankee proposes to adjust the audit schedule based on empirical data and performance history to complete audits i of safety-related functions within a period of three years. This modification meets the intent of published regulatory requirements involving activities important to safety, j i
