YANKEE ATOMI C ELECTRI C COMPANY POLICY STATEMENT (DECOMMISSIONING) OPERAT40 nab OUAllTY ASSURANCE PROGRAM It is the policy of those organizations operating under this l (Decommissioning) Que ity Assurance Program to strive for excellence in all l aspects of nuclear power plant (decommissioning and spent fuel l storage)eperatten. 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 achiev1ng the goal of "doing it right the first time." Only if we recognize that Quality is of paramount l importance can we continue to provide for the safe (decommissioning and fuel l storage)and-reliable-generatten-ef-pewer.

l The function of the Quality Oversight Vertf4 eat 4en 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 l Quality Assurance Groups for quality (oversight) veF4fieat4en; 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.

l Undee-the-pregFamr (T)the Yankee Atomic Electric Company President (and l Chief Executive Officer) is the final management authority responsible for j assuring-that this policy statement and the (Decommissioning) Quality Assurance Program are implemented within the Yankee Atomic Electric Company.

IV. Regulatory Guide 1,64. Revision 2. "Ouality Assurance Reauirements for the Deston of Nuclear Power Plants" A. EXCEPTION:

Subsection c.2 l The Yankee _and-Vermont-Vankee plants take(s) exception to the regulatory. guide position on the exclusion of supervisors performing design verification.

ALTERNATIVE:

i l The Yankee and-Vermont-Vankee 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 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 I 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.

Subsection 3.7.1 & A3.7.1 - Containers l The Yankee and-VeFment--Vankee plants take(s) exception to the specific requirements for containers.

ALTERNATIVE:

1 i

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

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.

l Additionally, numerous vendors utilize shipping containers that do )

not comply with the specific requirements of this section, i .e. ,  ;

flaps overlap. The acceptance criteria for a shipping container should be established based on the capability of the container to i maintain the component material in a safe condition. Technology has advanced beyond the standard.

ALTERNATIVE:

Skids or runners shall be used on boxes with a gross weight of 100 pounds or more i f practical .

JUSTIFICATION:

Storage methods and container design frequently are such that runners or skids are not feasible.

C. EXCEPTION':

Subsection 5.2.1 - Shippina Damace InsDection l The Yankee and-Vermont-Vankee plants take(s) exception to the requirement that a preliminary visual inspection or examination be performed prior to unloading.

Post unloading inspection is adequate to determine any damage that may have been incurred during shipping and handling.

D. EXCEPTION:

1 Subsection 5.2.2 - Item inspection l 1

l The Yankee and-Veement-Vankee plants take(s) exception to the  ;

requirement. that "The inspections shall be performed in an area equivalent to the level of storage requirements for the item."

l ALTERNATIVE:

I

l. The Yankee and-Verment-Yankee plants shall perform receiving i inspection in a manner and in an environment which do not endanger the requisite quality of the item: however. receiving area environmental controls may be less stringent than storage environmental controls for that item. When inspections are performed in receiving areas with environmental controls less I stringent than storage area environmental controls, a time limit shall be established on a case basis for retention of items in the receiving area. Retention time shall be such that deterioration is prevented and applicable manufacturer recom.nendations are addressed..

JUSTIFICATION:

Receipt inspection activities are for a much shorter duration and therefore should not be subjected to the same stringent requirements as required for storage.

ALTERNATIVE:

Special inspection procedures shall be readily available to personnel performing inspections.

JUST!FICATION:

Procedures are subject to less abuse and more stringent controls when maintained on file and not attached to the item. Inspection 1 status is maintained by tagging and procedure control. j F. EXCEPTION:

I Subsection 6.1.2 - Levels of Storage l The Yankee and-VeFment-Vankee plants take(s) exception to two specific requirements associated with fuel storage (classified Level A).

ALTERNATIVE:

JUSTIFICATION:

l The existing storage conditions at the Yankee operating plants l (1s) are consistent with the protection provided to the fuel while in storage at the manufacturer (vendor) and/or while in transit to the plant site and are judged to provide adequate protection to the fuel assembly structure which is of highly corrosion resistant materials. We believe that the above listed requirements are intended for application at the manufacturing facility (vendor) where the uranium pellets may be exposed to the. atmosphere and not in its fully encapsulated, and therefore, fully protected form in a completed fuel assembly.

colored. I ALTERNATIVE: l l

Nonmetallic plugs and caps shall be of a contrasting color.

JllSTI FIC AT ION :

I 1 The purpose of utilizing brightly colored plugs and caps is to assist in assuring obstructions are not inadvertently placed in operating components or systems. By using plugs and caps of a l contrasting color this objective can be achieved.

ALTERNATIVE:

Containers shall be adequately marked to provide identification and retrievability.

JUSTIFICATION:

Containers are tagged to provide identification and inspection status, Employment of two tags on small containers adds bulk and confusion and does not provide for better identification or traceability.

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