MAY I 21975 Mr. Leonard F. C. Reichle Vice President Dasco Services Incorporated Two Rector Street New Yor)., New York 10006

Dear Mr. Reichle:

We have reviewed and evaluated the Dasco Services Incorporated (EBASCO)

Huclear Quality Assurance Program Manual (Dasco Report ETR-1001 Revision 0, March 14, 1975). We find that it describes an acceptable Quality Assurance Program for the design, procurement, and construction activities which are within tne Dasco scope of work for nuclear power plants.

I Tor the Dasco Quality Assurance Program, applicants need only reference this Topical Report in Section 17 of license applications. We do not intend to repeat our review of this Topical Report when it is referenced in an applica tion.

Should regulatory criteria or regulations change such that our conclusions about this Topical Report are invalidated, we will notify you. You vill i

• be given the opportunity to revise and resubmit it should you so desire.

l Please include a copy of this letter and our evaluation in each of the l

reports and resubmit 70 copies to the NRC.

TOPICAL REPORT FVALUATION Report Number: ETR-1001, Rev. O, Nonproprietary Report

Title:

Dssco Nuclear Quality Assurance Program j i

Report Date: March 14, 1975 Originating Organization: Dasco Services Incorporated Reviewed By: Quality Assurance Branch j 1

SUMMARY

OF TOPICAL RIP 05 L i Topical Report ETR-1001, Rev. O describes the Quality Assurance (QA)

Program which the Dasco Services Incorporated (Dssco) applies to those design, procurement, and construction activities iavolving safety related structures, systems, and components of nuclear pover plants within the D asco scope of work. ETR-1001, Rev. O coimaits Dasco to cesply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CTR Part 50 and to follow the QA guidance provided by the NRC in:

1. "Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During Design and Procurement Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," WASH 1283 Rev.1, ,

May 24, ".??4, and

2. "Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements Guring the Construction

, Phase of Nuclear Power Plantr," WASH 1309, 'tay 10,1974.

Dasco has provided for our evaluation a detailed organiutional description of those individuals and groups involved in carrying out activities required by the QA Program and a delineation of duties, responsibilities, and authority of those organizational elements involved in the QA Program. ETR-1001, Rev. O contains a description of the measures used to carry out the Dasco QA Program activities and describes how applicable requirements of Appendix B will be satisfied l by the administration sad implement,stion of these measures.

l SLHMARY OF REGULATORY EVALUATION l

I We have evaluated the QA Program and the organizations responsible i

l for QA functions as described in ETR-1001, Rev. O. We find that QA policy and direction originate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively communicated to othtr parts of the organization.

Those performing QA functions have respcasibility and authority commensurate with their duties in implementing the QA Program. We also find that naasures have been establishoc, to be implemented by written procedures and instructions, which address each of the criteria of Appendix B and demonstrate conformance with each criterion.

Based on our review and evalomon of 2"'-1301, Rev. O we conclude that:

1. The organizations and persons performing OA functions within Dasco have the required independence and authority to effectively carry out the QA Program without reservation or undue influence from those directly

1 responsible for costs and schedules, and

1. The Dasco QA Program contains the necessary requirmnents, procedurt.s.

and controls to demonstrate that quality-related activities will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CTR Part 50.

REnULATORY POSITION It ns the staf."s position that the Ebasco Nuclear Quality Assurance Program Manel (Dasco Report ETR-1001, Revision o, March 14, 1975) is acceptable for use in the design, procurement, and construction of nuclear power plants. The Topical Report can be raf erenced by report number in Section 17 of future Saf ety Analysis Reports.

SUBJECT:

NRC ACCEPTANCE OF EBASCO QA TOPICAL REPORT We have completed our review of the proposed Revision 13 to the Ebasco quality assurance topical report, ETR-1001, "Nuclear Quality Assurance Program Manual." Proposed Revision 13 was submitted with your letter of December 29, 1986; and, in response to staff questions of February 17, 1987, modified by Ebasco letter dated March 17, 1987. This revision updates the topical report to reflect organizational changes, to reflect changes to the QA program to accomodate the organizational changes, to update Regulatory Guide comitments, and to make other changes of an editorial nature.

Based on our review of the changes proposed in Revision 13, we find that the revised topical report continues to meet the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and is, therefore, acceptable. Should regulatory criteria or regulations change such that our conclusion regarding this report is invalidated, we will notify you. You will be given the opportunity to revise and resubmit it should I you so desire. Changes to the QA topical report should be reported to the NRC in accordance with the provisions for holders of construction permits as described in 10 CFR 50.55(f)(3) except that the seccnd copy of the submittal should go to the Cuality Assurance Branch, Division of Licensee Performance and Quality Evalui, tion. NRR, U.S. NRC, Washington, D.C. 20555 (instead of to the NRC Vendor Program Branch).

To use this topical report in future nuclear power plant license applications, you need only to have it referenced in Section 17 of the SAR. Should it be referenced in an SAR for a new facility, the basis of our evaluation will be l

the acceptance criteria in the latest revision of the Standard Review Plan l Section 17.1 (currently Revision 2). Appropriate changes may be necessary at I that time.

1. ANSI N45.2.5-1974, Section 4.8, states "Pumped concrete must be sampled from the pump line discharge." In lieu of this statement, in-process strength samples of pumped concrete are taken at the delivery point.

Correlation tests of air content, slump, and temperature are performed to verify these plastic properties of the concrete at the placement point in accordance with the following frequency requirements:

A. A minisua of two correlation tests are performed for each pumped placement exceeding 200 cu. yds.

B. Otherwise, a minimum of two correlation tests per week are performed when any individual pumped placement during a week requires delivery of more than one truckload of concrete.

C. During a week when a pumped placement exceeding 200 cu. yds. is made, the correlation tests performed on that placement will satisfy the

- weakly requirement for performing two correlation tests as specified in Iten B above.

If the correlation test result shows a concrete property not meeting the specification 1.taits and/or tolerances at the point of placement, the f requency of correlation testing shall be increased to 100 cubic yards.

If two consecutive correlation tests exceed the specified limit for slump, air content, or temperature, the Constructor shall document the condition, notify Bechtel Site Engineering within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of completion of the placement and shall return to control of the concrete by in process testing at the point of placement per ANSI N45.2.5-1974.

"Correlation Testing," "Delivery Point," and "Placement Point" are as defined in ANSI N45.2.5-1978, Section 1.4.

l

2. Samples and frequency for cadweld testing is in accordance with ACI-359-ASME Section III, Division 2 issued for trial use and cosaant in 1973, including Addenda 1 through 6 (see Sections 3.8.1.6.3 and 3.8.3.6.3 of the South Texas Project Final Safety Analysis Report).

EXCEPTIONS TO ANSI N45.2.1-1973:

3. Section 2.1, Planning. The required planning is frequently performed on a generic basis for application to many installations on one or more projects. This results in standard procedures or plans for installation and inspection and testing which meet the requirements of the standard.

Individual plans for each ites or system are not normally prepared unless the work operations are unique. However, standard procedures or plans .

will be reviewed for applicability in each case. Installation plans or procedures are also limited in scope to those actions or activities which  ;

are essential to maintain or achieve required quality. This is consistent with Section 2, Paragraphs 2 and 3, of ANSI N45.2-1971 which '

provides for examination, measurement, or testing to assure quality or indirect control by monitoring of processing methods. However, final cleaning or flushing activities will be performed in accordance with procedures specific to the system.

4. Section 4 Pre-Installation Cleanness. This section states, "Items should not be delivered to the point of installation site sooner than necessary unless the installation location is considered a better storage area." As an alternate to this requirement items may be delivered to tha installation site sooner then absolutely necessary when determined to be advantageous for other considerations, for example, reduced handling or easier access, thereby reducing susceptibility to handling damage. In all such cases, equipment stored in place will be protected in accordance with Section 5 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973.

5. Section 3.1.2 Cleanness Classifications - Class B. Ebasco interprets the lighting level of 100 footeandles to be guidance. It is Ebasco's normal practice that the lighting level for determining "setal clean" of

< accessible surfaces of piping and components is determined by the inspector. Typically he uses a standard two-cell flashlight supplemented by other lighting as he decas necessary.

EXCEPTIONS TO ANSI N45.2.2-1972:

6. Section 2.7, Classification of Items. The four-level classification systen may not be used explicitly. However, the specific requirements for each classificatica as specified in the standard will be applied to the items suggested in each classification and for similar items.

j Classification differing from Section 2.7 will be considered acceptable provided no degradation is assured for example, electric motors designed '

I for outside service may be stored in Level C area rather than a Level B.

7. Section 6.2, Storage Areas. Paragraph 6.2.1 requires control and limited access to storage areas. In lieu of and to amplify this paragraph, the ,

following will be applied:

"Access to storage areas for Levels A, 3, and C will be controlled by the individual (s) responsible for storage. While the above areas will be posted to limit access, other positive controls (other than that for the overall site ares) or guards may not be provided. Level D areas will be posted with the storage level designation only."

8. Section 5.5, Correction of Nonconformances. This section provides for "rework" and "use-as-is" dispositions for nonconforming items. As an alternate, the "repair" disposition (as defined in ANSI N45.2.10-1973) will also be used.

Section 6.2.4. Storage of Food and Associated Items. Controlled areas, 9.

within storage areas, will be established for the storage of food, drink, and salt tablets. These areas will be controlled through normal supervision and inspection.

10. In Section 8, the control of documentation and records shall be in  ;

accordance with Section QA-I-6 of the Ebasco Nuclear Quality Assurance Program Manual for the South Texas Project.

11. Appendix A3.4.2. Inert Gas Blankets. There may be cases involving large or complex shapes for which an inert or dry air purge flow is provided rather than a static gas blanket in order to provide adequate protection due to dif ficulty of providing a leakproof barrier. In these cases a positive pressure purge flow may be utilized as an alternative to the leakproof barrier.

EXCEPTIONS TO ANSI N45.2.3-1973:

12. Section 2.1, Planning. The required planning is frequently performed on a generic basis for application to many installations on one or more projects. This results in standard procedures or plans for installatioe and inspection and testing which meet the requirements of .the standard.

Individual plans for each item or system are not normally prepared unless the work operations are unique. However, standard procedures or plans will be reviewed for applicability in each case. Installation plans or procedures are also limited in scope to those actions or activities which are essential to maintain or achieve required quality.

i EXCEPTIONS TO ANSI N45.2.8-1975: i

16. Section 1.1, Scope. The term "important items" will be interpreted to '

apply to those activities or quality attributes of an ites or service that could affect a nuclear safety-related characteristic. For example, if a barrier is required for leakage control, but serves no structural function, the leaktight characteristic would be considered "important,"

but appearance, dimensional requirements, and structural features would not necessarily be considered importanti or if a pump casing is required for coolant boundary integrity, but the pump does not have to operate to provide for nuclear safety, those attributes which affect its operation would not be considered important from the standpoint of nuclear safety.

Section 2.1, Planning. The required planning' is frequently performed on a generic basis for application to many installations on one or more projects. This results in standard procedures or plans for installation and inspection and testing which meet the requirements of the standard. '

22. ANSI N45.2.12-1977, Section 4.5.1, states, "The audited organization shall provide a follow-up report stating the corrective action taken and the date corrective action was completed." This implies that the audited organization must provide the auditing organization with written notification detailing what corrective action was taken and when the corrective action was completed.

In actual practice, the audited organization will provide the auditing organization with documented corrective action including the date when the corrective action will be completed. The auditing organization will evaluate the corrective action response to determine if corrective action verification is necessary. If verification is necessary, the corrective action verification will be performed after the scheduled completion date and the result of the verification will be documented.

23. ANSI N45.2.12-1977, Section 1.3 states, "In no way shall the performance of audits by an organization diminish the responsiblity of the audited '

organziation or contractor for audit of his designated portion of the quality assurance program or the quality of his product or services." ,

For the South Texas Project all quality-related activities implemented for the South Texara Project are audited annually at a minimus, or at least once within the life of the activity, whichever is shorter. These audits are performed by either Houston Lighting & Power Company (HIAP) or Bechtel Energy Corporation (BEC). Ebasco Services Incorporated (ESI) activities are limited to those audits performed in accordance with Section III-9 of this Manual.
