Chapter 2.0 11 OPERATIONS QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN PAGE 4 OF 15 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION EFFECTIVE DATE 2-1-98 5.3 Graded Quality Assurance 5.3.1 Graded Quality Assurance (GQA) is fundamental to the STP QA Program. It is described in more detail in the implementing procedure for the 3 STP Comprehensive Risk Management (CRM)
Program.
5.3.2 GQA is a process by which risk-based methodology [i.e., Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)], deterministic insights, and performance-based information are combined and analyzed to determine what levels of programmatic controls are needed for structures, systems, and components (SSCs) and what levels of first line and independent oversight are needed to provide assurance that items will operate safely and activities are l accomplished as prescribed.
5.3.3 Selected systems are evaluated, at the g component level, by a cross-discipline Expert m ,
Panel comprised of high level station ? i management. Initial evaluations are performed %
by the Working Group.
5.3.4 These recommendations are developed in consideration of systems' missions, components' contribution to core damage frequency and risk achievement, components' critical attributes (needed to support system mission),
performance, regulatory /QA requirements, and other deterministic considerations as prescribed in the Comprehensive Risk Management procedures.
5.3.5 Program control recommendations are developed by the Working Group and ultimately approved by y the Expert Panel and forwarded to the site for m implementation. Controls are implemented in 9 three graded applications (i . e . , " Full", d$
" Basic", and " Targeted").

5.3.6 " Full" program controls are applied to safety-i related SSCs categorized as being "high" safety significant/ risk important. These " Full" levels of controls and oversight are designed to provide a high degree of confidence that SSCs perform safely and activities are i
performed as expected. Table I to the OQAP chapter prescribes the program commitments applicable to " Full" program activities.
5.3.7 " Basic" program controls are applied to safety-related SSCs categorized as " medium" or " low" safety significant/ risk important. These are lower levels of control and oversight, designed to maintain / preserve those identified critical attributes of SSCs needed to support systems' critical functions. These controls are intended to reflect economical and efficient business practices. Table I to the OQAP chapter prescribes the program commitments applicable to " Basic" program activities. .
5.3.8 " Targeted" program controls are applied to non-safety related SSCs, for which 10CFR50, Appendix B is not applicable, categorized as "high" or " medium" safety significant/ risk $
importance. . Specific program controls o consistent with applicable portions of the de
" full" and " basic" program controls are applied ce to those items in a selected manner, " targeted" at those characteristics or critical attributes that render the SSC significant or important.
5.3.9 Components that are highly reliable, yet whose failure would result in a significant increase Od in risk, will receive Full program coverage, or $$
will be evaluated based on their risk l
importance to ensure that Full program controls Ob are applied to their critical attributes.
5.3.10 SSCs governed by the OQAP shall retain " Full" program coverage until such time as prescribed risk-informed, performance-based analyses are l completed and approved, and they are placed )
into other program categories (i.e., " Targeted" i or " Basic") as appropriate. '

Chapter 2.0 11 OPERATIONS QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN PAGE 6 OF 15 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION EFFECTIVE DATE 2-1 98 5.3.11 A vital element of the GQA program is the
" feedback" loop. On a periodic basis, and as prescribed in the Comprehensive Risk Management procedure, the GQA Working Group and Expert Panel shall review any changes to the PSA information and performance / operating e/
experience that could result in % l recategorization of an SSC. These reviews are 9 also used to assess the effectiveness and Gg appropriateness of in-place quality program controls. Adjustments shall be made as determined necessary. Those components for which an increase in failure rates results in a significant increase in risk will have Full !
l program controls established.
j 5.4 Delegation of QA Functions 5.4.1 The OQAP may be executed in whole or part by subcontract personnel. However, STP will retain responsibility for the total quality assurance program, and Quality organization personnel will perform appropriate oversight activities of subcontracted activities.
5.5 Identification of Safety Significant Structures, Systems, and Components 5.5.1 The program described herein is applied to activities affecting the safety functions of those structures, systems, and components which prevent, or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
The structures, systems, and components controlled are listed in UFSAR Section 3.2, along with their associated fire protection systems. UFSAR Section 3.2 also identifies those structures, systems, and components which may not represent a eafety significant/ risk important concern but to which the STP OQAP is applied.
5.5.2 The fire protection OA Program is part of the overall STP Operations QA Program. Fire protection OA Program criteria are implemented as part of the Operations QA Program.
