QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION PART B FOR SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION (STPEGS)

INTRODUCTION This document describes the Quality Assurance Program applied by Bechtel* to the design, procurement, and construction management of the South Texas Proj ect. This document serves as Bechtel's portion of the Quality Assurance Program Description, the compliance document which fullfills the requirements of Chapter 17 prescribed in the " Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants", Regulatory Guide 1.70, Rev. 2, Septenber 1975. This document is periodically reviewed and revised as necessary.

Bechtel Energy Corporation is responsible for Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management activities at the South Texas Project. This activity includes receiving, storage, maintenance, receiving inspection and Quality Assurance functions. Bechtel Construction Management is responsible for management of the construction and quality assurance / quality control activities of the Constructor / Contractor (s). Construction Management consists of planning, scheduling, monitoring and evaluating the Constructor /

Contractor (s) construction and quality assurance / quality control activities.

The construction, site engineering, and quality control activities defined in this document will be the responsibility of the Constructor / Contractor (s).

The Constructor / Contractor (s) will be responsible for submitting to Bechtel, for approval, a quality program which is consistent and compatible with the applicable sections of this program.

The Quality Assurance Program described in this document is consistent with the Bechtel overall goals and objectives of maintaining the competence of its service and quality of its end products at contractually required levels.

This Quality Assurance Program is applied by Bechtel to those safety-related structures, systems, and components (Q-List items) identified in appropriate sections of the safety analysis report for which Bechtel has the responsibility for design, procurement, and construction management. This document does not cover preoperational testing activities.

The term " Quality Assurance" has been defined as "all those planned or

, systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that an item or facility will perfom satisfactorily in service." Quality assurance is recognized as a function of the group performing the work and not the sole responsibility of a quality assurance group.

i

  • The term Bechtel is employed in this document to identify the Bechtel Power l Corporation and associated companies, including Bechtel Energy Corporation,

! which is contractually responsible for the Design and Construction Management of STPEGS.

1

Quality is achieved through the use of skilled personnel, adequate planning, use of suitable tools and procedures, proper definition of job requirements, and appropriate supervision and technical direction. Quality is verified through surveillance, inspection, testing, checking, and review of work activities and documentation. It is Bechtel policy that the organization or group that perfoms the activity (i.e., Engineering, Procurement, Construction, etc.) is responsible for the generation of a quality product.

Quality control and quality verification are performed by individuals who are not directly responsible for performing the work activity. The separation of responsibilities by organization for performance of the work activities and for performance of quality control and quality verification is discussed in Section 1 of this document.

In addition, it is Bechtel policy that a quality assurance function consisting of program definition, program coordination, and the review, surveillance, and the audit of quality-related activities is assigned to a group which is independent of the organizations responsible for the work. This group called Quality Assurance is responsible for defining and coordinating the Quality Assurance Program and for monitoring and auditing program activities to verify compliance with established requirements and to review program adequacy. When the term Quality Assurance is applied to personnel titles or procedures, it refers to the personnel and practices of the Quality Assurance Group. The .

overall Bechtel Quality Assurance Program, which includes the activities of the organizations performing work as well as those performing quality control and quality assurance function, is also referred to as the Bechtel Quality Program.

The Bechtel Quality Program commits to comply with the requirements of NRC Regulations, " Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," 10CFR50 Appendix B. The program also ccx.its to comply with the quality assurance requirements of the ASitE Boiler and Pressure Yessel Code,Section III, for items covered by the Code.

The Bechtel program is committed to follow the regulatory positions contained in the following documents and ANSI Standard ANSI N45.2.5:*

SECTION 2 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAll 2.1 SCOPE The program described in this document is applied to the design, procurement, and construction management of those structures, systems, and components (items) whose satisfactory performance is required to prevent accidents which may cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public or to mitigate the consequences of such accidents if they were to occur. These items are defined as safety related and are identified in the safety analysis report for STPEGS.

2.2 POLICY The Bechtel Quality Program described in this document assigns the responsibility for quality to the organization responsible for perfoming the work and includes as a basic requirement that individuals responsible for verifying and checking are independent of the individual or group responsible for perfoming the work. Additionally, independent review, audit, and surveillance are perfomed by individuals not affiliated with the organizational entities responsible for perfomance of the work.

The President of Bechtel Power Corp. is responsible for the overall quality policy. Coordination of the Quality Program within BPC is the responsibility of the BPC, Manager of Quality Assurance.

Western Power Division quality assurance department procedures are formulated by the Manager of Division Quality Assurance with policy guidance from the BPC, Manager of Quality Assurance.

The Quality Progran and Quality Assurance practices for STPEGS are fomulated by the Project Quality Assurance llanager, approved by the Manager of Division Quality Assurance or designee and implemented through the Project Quality Program Manual, the Project Quality Assurance Procedures and various department / group procedures. The implementing procedures are approved for program compliance by the Manager of Division Quality Assurance or a designee (See Table I). The STPEGS quality program follows applicable division procedures, suitably modified to meet the scope of STPEGS, including delineated HL&P and project requirements.

The Project Quality Assurance Manager is responsible for coordinating the development of the project quality program and assuring that appropriate approvals are obtained. Project and division Quality Assurance personnel monitor and/or audits project program activities for compliance with approved procedures and policies. Quality Assurarce personnel have the responsibility and authority to carry out these functions, including identification of program problems, initiation of action to resolve such problems, and final verification that the action was taken and the problem satisfactorily solved.

17

The Project Quality Program includes program documents and and procedures which define the responsibility and authority of each group within the project and identifies documents to be prepared and their distribution. Bechtel project comunication is assured through the close physical relationship of project participants and the requirements for formal documentaticn and reporting.

Comunication between the Houston Lighting & Power QA organization and Bechtel depends on contractual relationships and complies with various interface agreements. The Project Quality Assurance !!anager is the focal point for quality program connaunication. Formal quality assurance program reporting is performed either through the Project Manager or directly by the Project Quality Assurance !!anager. In either case, the Project Quality Assurance Manager is responsible for coordinating preparation of quality program communication. Day-to-day cocinunication on problems involving engineering, procurement, and construction may be carried out directly between the Bechtel group responsible for the activity and appropriate utility personnel.

However, the Project Quality Assurance Manager is furnished copies of this correspondence, as appropriate.

Supplier and contractor quality control includes provision of specifications by Engineering requiring suppliers and contractors to execute appropriate quality programs; surveillance inspection of suppliers by the Procurement Supplier Quality Department, or by Quality Control for onsite contractors; and surveillance and audit of these activities by Quality Assurance personnel, the Procurement Supplier Quality Department staff, and/or Materials and Quality Services.

Control of construction activities performed directly by Bechtel includes in-process technical guidance and monitoring of the work by field engineering personnel who are independent of direct construction craft supervision; quality verification inspection and surveillance and audits by Ouality Assurance personnel supplemented by Materials and Quality Services personnel.

Quality-related activities, such as inspection and test, are perfonned with appropriate equipment and under suitable environmental conditions.

2.3 STOPWORK The program provides Quality Assurance personnel with stopwork authority over certain portions of project activity, and this authority is delineated in procedures. In addition, control of further processing of unacceptable work is provided by appropriate hold and release points as follows:

1. Design. Unsatisfactory work with respect to design documents prepared by Bechtel is controlled through the independent review process (prescribed by written procedures) and the refusal of the checker / reviewer to sign off the acceptance of the document which blocks its further processing and issue for use. Each non-Bechtel design document for which project engineering has an interface and review responsibility is logged upon receipt and has affixed a standard Bechtel stamp which signifies the status of the document when it is returr.ed to the originator. Any status other than permission to proceed automatically sets in motion follow-up and close-out actions.

2. Procurement. Bechtel control over Supplier work is as follows:

the Procurement Supplier Quality Representative, when required by procurement documents, must authorize supplier release for shipment (for purchased items) and may recomend stoppage of work on selected activities through designated contractual channels in situations which, if uncorrected, would render the item unacceptable for release. In cases of gross deficiencies or violations, procurement documents provide contractural relief, including temination, and these measures can be used when necessary.

3. Construction. Quality Control has two primary mechanisms to control further processing of unacceptable work. These are the nonconforming material control system and the authority to refuse acceptance of completed work. Quality Control has authority to recommend stoppage in situations which, if uncorrected, would render the item nonconfoming or unacceptable. In cases of contractor work, Quality Control exercises controls similar to Procurement in 2. above.

2.4 PROGRN4 DOCUMENTATION Western Power Division Quality procedures and instructions are contained in the doctnents listed in Table I. Appendix 8 of this report lists the Division Quality Policies for STPEGS work and identifies their scope and relationship to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.

In any case, personnel perfoming quality assurance and quality control functions have the authority to identify quality problems and initiate action leading to their solution. -

Resolution of disputes which are not resolved at lower levels is as follows:

The final authority on project quality program matters rests with the Project Quality Assurance Manager, subject only to appeal by the Project Manager to the Manager of Division Quality Assurance.

The final authority on division quality program matters rests with the flanager of Division Quality Assurance. The final authority on BPC quality policy rests with the BPC - flanager of Quality Assurance. In either case, the authority is subject only to appeal to the Division Vice President and General Manager and the President of Bechtel Power Corporation, respectively.

2.7 PROGRAM EVALUATI0!l The following reports and activities provide information to the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurarce, from which he prepares a report to the President of Bechtel Power Corporation evaluating the adequacy of the quality assurance program:

1. Quarterly reports by the 11anager of Division Quality Assurance, the Manager of Procurement Supplier Quality, and the Manager of Materials and Quality Services (including their sumary of quality problems and audits) 21
2. The results of Managers of Division Quality Assurance quality program coordination meetings, conducted at least semiannually
3. Audits or reviews of quality activities in the Divisions and support services as directed by the BPC-Manager of Quality Assuran:e The above-listed reports and activities are also used to recontaend action on the part of the Manager of Division Quality Assurance, develop new policies, or other action as deemed appropriate by the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurance.

2.8 MANAGEMENT REVIEW Management reviews of the status and adequacy of this quality assurance program are accomplished through periodic reports and presentations by Quality Assurance Management personnel to their respective managers, and through reviews of quality assurance management audit reports. Meetings are held on a regular basis at both BPC and division management level. Meeting at the BPC level are coordinated by the office of the BPC Manager of Quality Assurance, and the division level meetings are conducted by the Manager of Division Quality Assurance.

The Western Power Division Quality Assurance Program, including support service organization Quality assurance Programs, are reviewed annually by individuals outside the quality assurance function. These reviews are performed by management above or outside the QA organization for BPC and Division Management. The results of these reviews are documented and submitted to division and corporate management.

Management reports contain suntaary data on the status of outstanding audit and corrective action items and identify the status of other significant quality program activities which may include items such as training and qualification programs; development of standard procedures, work plans, and other documents; status of industry standards; and other external issues of interest. These reports and discussions combined with other reports on overall division performance are used by BPC and division management above the level of Manager of Division Quality Assurance to assess the scope, implementation, and adequacy of the STPEGS quality assurance program.

The status of the STPEGS quality assurance program is reported regularly to cognizant management by the Project Quality Assurance Manager. These reports identify quality problems and suntaarize results of project quality assurance activities. Project quality program status also is identified and evaluated through management audit reports which are conducted in accordance with the provisions of Western Power Division Quality Assurance Department Procedures.

Audit reports are reviewed by cognizant quality assurance management and copies are submitted to division management and cognizant department management. The Manager of Division Quality Assurance is responsible for monitoring these reports and other information received from STPEGS such as 50.55(e) reports and Part 21 reports, and for sununarizing this information in reports to division management and the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurance.

SECTION 3 DESIGN CONTROL Engineering department policies, standards, design guides, procedures, and instructions are employed for control of engineering design work to meet technical and regulatory requirements. These controls identify responsibilities and provide procedures to assure that the design requirements are correctly translated into the final design. The controls also provide for preparation of appropriate documentation to permit review of the process used and of the results obtained. The controls provide for the identification and specification of appropriate quality standards and for control of changes and design interfaces.

Design criteria are assembled by the project during the initial stages of

, design. These criteria include the criteria contained in safety analysis reports and other STPEGS requirements. The design criteria are maintained current and serve as a basis for preparation of the final design.

The design control program incorporates measures for identification and control of design interfaces among the various engineering disciplines on the project, between the project and technical support groups within Bechtel, and of such external interfaces as Westinghouse Electric Corp. (the nuclear steam supply system supplier), other equipment suppliers, contractors performing design work, and HL&P. These measures include- (a) identification of technical responsibilities of the various design groups and provisions for coordination of design documents among them, (b) description of responsibilities of and provisions for coordination with other design and engineering support groups within Bechtel, and (c) definition of interfaces and control of comunication with organizations external to Bechtel.

Essentially all engineering documents are prepared by project personnel and include drawings, specifications, design analyses, system descriptions, and technical reports. They are verified or checked in accordance with Engineering Department Procedures. Project Group Supervisors (Figure 10) are responsible for all engineering work performed within their discipline and for approval of engineering documents prepared within their groups. Procedures and instructions for verification and checking of drawings, calculations, and specifications are included in the procedures governing the preparation of these documents or in separate procedures or instructions. These procedures identify the positions responsible for verification or checking and require that design errors are identified and followed up through correction.

Verifiers and checkers on the project are required to verify the incorporation of required corrections. Documents cannot be released without verification or checking.

When design verification or checking is accomplished by an individual, it is performed by a person other than the originator or the imediate supervisor of the originator, who has adequate qualifications to have originated the work.

If, in an exceptional circumstance, the originator's imediate supervisor is the only technically qualified individual available, the design verification or checking will be conducted by the supervisor with the following provisions:

a. The other requirements of ANSI N45.2.ll-1974, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.64, Rev. 2, 6/76, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document, will be met.

24

b. The justification will be individually documented and approved by the next level of supervision.
c. Quality Assurance audits will include review of the frequency and effectiveness of the use of the imediate supervisor to assure that this provision is used only in exceptional circumstances.

Design work, including verification or checking, of specialist external to the project, such as H&QS, Geotechnical, Hydraulics, and Stress is performed in accordance with project procedures or specialist group procedures meeting the requirements of this document. Such work must be reviewed and accepted by responsible project personnel for applicability to STPEGS.

Key design documents for systcms and structures important to safety are subject to design verification, which may be accomplished by:

a. Critical design reviews, either individual or interdisciplinary
b. Alternate calculations, or
c. Qualification testing Design verification is performed for the following key documents: system descriptions, flow diagrams, piping and instrtznent diagrams, control logic diagrams, electrical single-line diagrams, structural systems for major facilities, site arrangement, and equipment location drawings.

Specifications, calculations, and computer programs in support of the key documents are verified. Documentation of the design verification is provided by a design verification report signed by the appropriate individual.

When design verification is accomplished by an interdisciplinary design review, the review team will be composed of individuals knowledgeable of the type of system of structure and the requirements thereof. They may or may not have participated directly in the design of that particular system or structure. An individual who has participated directly in the design shall not be responsible for the independent design verification of this discipline.

The above description af design verification of key design documents satisfies the requirements specified by ANSI N45.2.ll-1974, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.64, Rev. 2, 6/76, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document.

Design documents other than key design documents, identified above, shall be checked for technical correctness and conformance to design input requirements.

Engineering Department Procedures establish the extent of checking, the duties of the checker, and the extent of his responsibility for which he attests with his signature or initials. The signature or initials of the checker and date affixed on the design document in accordance with the Engineering Department Procedure satisfies the requirements specified by ANSI N45.2.11-1974, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.64, Rev. 2, 6/76, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document. Traceability of charac-teristic signatures and initials to the individual will be provided.

25 L

BPC designated Chief Engineers coordinate and assist in the preparation of certain generic " standard" and " guide" documents. Standard documents include design standards, standard details, standard specifications, and technical topical reports. Guide documents include design guides, guide key documents, and guide specifications. Generic " standard" and " guide" documents which are pre-engineered to a level suitable for STPEGS adoption are subject to checking, review, and design verification as described in this Section.

Standard or guide documents which have been qualified by a design verification need only be verified by STPEGS for their applicability to project requirements. The acceptability of any significant changes to the qualified standard document must also be verified and documented.

As a matter of policy, Bechtel uses accepted industrial standards, specifications, and materials. Prototype testing is encouraged for equipment suppliers whose components have not previously demonstrated adequate performance. Prototype testing is not normally applicable to STPEGS design work; however, selected design details may be verified by test. When prototype testing is used for design verification, the test requirements are specified by Bechtel.

Design changes, including field changes, are subjected to design control measures cocraensurate to those applied to the original design. Checking and review of design changes are performed by the Project Engineering team to the same level as that of the original design. Changes to design requirements or completed designs produced by Project Engineering, which may be proposed by suppliers, contractors, or Bechtel construction, must be reviewed and accepted by Project Engineering.

In the case of proposed changes to the criginal design, initiated at the construction site, the design changes shall be reviewed, accepted and documented by Bechtel Project Engineering. Acceptance of design changes by Bechtel Project Engineering is required prior to implementation. For design changes proposed by suppliers, acceptance of the design change by Project Engineering is required prior to shipment of the item to the jobsite.

In all cases, approval of the proposed design change by project engineering is required prior to fuel load for STPEGS.

Certain design work may be performed by Bechtel Site Engineering providing it is in compliance with the design control features utilized by Bechtel Project Engineering in the design office.

Certain detailing work may be performed by selected contractors; however, the nature, scope and parameters will be identified in design disclosure documents for each contractor with checking of field sketches required by an individual other than the detailer.

26

Suppliers are not allowed to change Bechtel design requirements or Bechtel reviewed supplier design documents without obtaining approval by Bechtel Project Engineering. Construction site changes to engineering design are documented by means of change notices or change requests which require authorization by Project Engineering. Significant or unique changes are authorized individually; Project Engineering may give written authorization in the form of specifications or other instructions to field organizations to make routine changes. Field organizations have the authority to approve changes to design details in cases where the original design details were prepared by that field organization.

i 27

SECTION 4 PROCUREMENT DOCUMENT CONTROL All procurement actions for Q-List items and services, including off-the-shelf items and bulk comodities, whether performed by design office or field procurement groups, employ technical and quality requirements established by project engineering.

Project engineering prepares (or provides) the technical and quality requirements appearing in procurement documents. These activities are governed by the same policies and procedures as those applied to design documents. Engineering and procurement department procedures delineate the sequence of quality-related action to be accomplished in preparation, review, approval, and control of procurement documents and changes thereto.

Project engineering is responsible for assuring that applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, supplier quality assurance program requirements, and other requirements which are necessary to obtain and verify quality are included or referenced in the procurement documents.

Specifications for suppliers and contractors are prepared by the project engineering team based on the project quality program requirements and generic or guide specifications. Project safety-related specifications are reviewed for appropriate quality program requirements by Project Quality Assurance.

Procurement documents include specific technical specifications for the equipment and services to be furnished which define specific codes, standards, tests, inspections, and records to be applied or furnished. The procurement documents also include quality assurance requirements either in separate specifications which define requirements for the supplier's quality assurance program or by incorporating appropriate requirements in the technical specifications and associated documents. Quality programs may be specified by invoking the appropriate sections and elements of ANSI N45.2-1971, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.28, Rev. 0. 6/72, appropriate supplementary ANSI Quality Assurance Standards, and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, as applicable, or by incorporating requirements equivalent to those of these standards. The procurement documents also establish provisions for surveillance, inspection, and audits (including access to the supplier's and subsupplier's facilities and records for audit), provide for extension of the applicable requirements to subtier procurements, include provisions for control and approval of supplier nonconformances, and establish requirements for preparation and delivery of documentation. Specific requirements for documents which must be submitted for review, approval, and/or verification are provided.

28

Engineering Department Procedures provide for establishing quality assurance requirements in procurement documents. Technical quality requirements are reviewed by technical personnel. Programmatic aspects are reviewed by Quality Assurance as described above, and the review also assures that the document was prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with the approved procedures. Procurement documents normally contain general acceptance cri teria. These are reviewed by suppliers, contractors, or Bechtel Quality Control upon receipt of the documents to verify and supplement acceptance criteria.

Evidence of review and approval of procurement documents is available for verification.

Appropriate project procedures provide details to accomplish the administrative actions in processing procurement documents in the design office and at the jobsite.

29

SECTION 5 INSTRUCTIONS, PROCEDURES, AND DRAWINGS The documented instructions and procedures governing this program are identified in Section 2.

Procedures and manuals governing the activities of organizations and groups perfoming quality-related functions include procedures for the preparation and review of instructions, procedures, and drawings.

Documented instructions from Project Engineering to Construction, contractors, and suppliers is in the form of engineering specifications and addenda or change notices thereto, drawings, and drawing change notices. These documents contain, reference, or require procedures and instructions, as appropriate, and provide necessary acceptance criteria. When approved by Project Engineering, these documents are released for construction work.

Bechtel procurement documents require suppliers and contractors to submit specified drawings and procedures to Bechtel for acceptance prior to start of fabrication or construction. Bechtel reviews of these documents are performed to determine that interfacing design features are compatible with overall design and installation requirements and that procedures are acceptable.

Procedures for construction activities are contained in the project procedure manual. These procedures describe, define, or specify administrative and functional requirements for performing construction activities. Procedures of this nature include training of personnel; jobsite housekeeping; storage, maintenance, and handling of items; document control; changes to design documents; reviewing supplier engineering documents; and field requisitioning of items and services, as applicable to the scope of work.

Field organizations prepare other procedures when engineering documents require amplification to perform various discipline activities associated with fabrication, cleaning, erection, installation, test, repair, modification, etc. , of items.

The requirements, procedures, and instructions for the Quality Control activities are contained in the Project Procedures Manual. The elements of this manual include qualifications, indoctrination, certification, and training; inspection, examination, and test control; control of nonconforming items; field procurement control; control of measuring and test equipment; documentation and records control; final inspection and turnover; and constructor and contractor control.

Assurance that work is accomplished in accordance with approved instructions, procedures, and drawings is obtained through the various levels of surveillance, inspection, and audit described in other sections of this document.

30

SECTION 6 DOCUMENT CONTROL The program documents identified in Section 2 provide means for document control. These include procedures providing Engineering, Procurement Supplier Quality, and Construction controls for the review, approval, and release of documents and changes thereto.

Documents pertaining to quality-related items, as identified in this paragraph, are required to be controlled. The documents listed in Table I are on controlled distribution. Instructions, procedures, specifications, drawings, procurement documents, quality plans, design calculations, design criteria, field change requests, safety analysis reports, and inspection test procedures are identified by control registers or index lists. Nonconformance reports, audit finding reports, supplier deviation disposition request, standard deficiency reports, documentary evidence of design reviews, memoranda, and correspondence are identified by logs which provide for traceability of closeout action.

Document control centers for STPEGS are set up in the Design Office and the jobsite. Controlled documents are released, received, controlled, and distributed through these centers.

Engineering Department procedures prescribe the requirements for preparation, control, and distribution of design documents. Approved drawings and specifications prepared by Project Engineering are issued to organizations and individuals responsible for perfoming the work and to those responsible for inspection *, Control registers, issued periodically, identify the drawings, specifications, and other design output documents and their current status.

Transmittal foms are employed to forward drawings and specifications and require that signed receipts be returned from the addressee or by controlled entry of the acknowledgement into the computerized data base.

Changes made to approved design documents by Project Engineering or proposed by field organizations are reviewed and approved by Project Engineering in accordance with established procedures which provide that changes are reviewed in the same manner as the original issue.

1 Supplier-submitted documents, such as drawings, specifications, procedures, manuals, and other data, are controlled through the use of control logs which provide identification and status of supplier documents. Transmittal forms are used to return and show approval status of evaluated supplier documents.

Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representatives are infomed as to the current status of supplier documents, and copies of applicable supplier documents are fomally transmitted to the construction site with provision for receipt acknowledgement.

  • Bechtel Procureuent Supplier Quality Representatives receive copies of the transmittal notices listing the documents and their approval status but normally do not receive copies of the documents. These are available at the supplier's plant for the Supplier Quality Representative.

31

I The project construction organization at the jobsite employs standard prescribed procedures for control of the distribution of approved drawings, specifications, and other documents. These procedures include provisions for field receipt, review and distribution of approved documents, and for appropriate marking or destruction of obsolete doctanents.

Approved changes are promptly included in governing documents or controlled change notices provided for interim revision. Changes may not be implemented without appropriate documented approvals. When a specified nunber of change notices have been issued or after a designated period of time, change notices must be incorporated in the governing document.

Controls to ensure that work activities are conducted in accordance with the necessary procedures or other documents take several forms. These controls include the following:

1. Procurement documents
2. Appropriate department or group manuals and procedures
3. Engineering compliance monitored by Quality Assurance
4. Supplier compliance monitored by Procurement Supplier Quality
5. Construction compliance monitored by Quality Control and Quality Assurance The Bechtel surveillance inspection program includes procedures governing the initial inspection visit which are designed to identify necessary documentation and verify that the controls are in place for preparation and approval of procedures prior to performance of work governed by the procedure. Construction inspection planning includes identification of documents required, and these must be available for use prior to performing inspections governed by the procedure.

Control of documents in the design office and at the jobsite are regularly audited by Quality Assurance personnel. In addition, Quality Control assures that construction work is performed in accordance with current approved design documents as an integral part of their quality verification inspection program.

32

SECTION 7 CONTROL OF PURCHASED HATERIAL, EQUIPMENT, AND SERVICES 7.1 SUPPLIER EVALUATION AND SELECTION Files of suppliers and contractors are maintained by Procurement. These files identify suppliers and contractors who have demonstrated their ability to provide quality material, equipment, or services, or who have been established as capable by survey. Suppliers' and contractors' quality history files contain information on scope of services and capability, and results of recent shop surveys and audits. Periodic reports identifying data contained in quality history files are issued by Procurement Supplier Quality to interested groups within the divisions.

The Materials and Quality Services Department reviews welding and nondestructive examination procedures for work involving compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Yessel Code and for fabrication of metal structures and protective coating procedures. Materials and Quality Services reviews and evaluates these documents and provides Procurement with information for sumary listings of the approved vendor information on file. This information is available to STPEGS for assistance in identification and evaluation of qualified sources.

Procurement Supplier Quality Department procedures include provisions for source surveys which may be used to supplement data in a supplier's quality history file. Requests for source survey are initiated by Purchasing or Engineering in cases where inadequate historical data is available to evaluate the supplier's capability to produce the comodity.

Prior to award, the following technical and quality requirements must be met:

1. Determination by Engineering that the source is responsive to the technical requirements of the specification
2. Determination by Engineering and Quality Assurance that the supplier or Constructor / Contractor (s) quality program is capable of meeting the specified requirements. This may be based on evaluations by Procurement Supplier Quality for manufacturing suppliers or Quality Assurance for jobsite Constructor / Contractor (s), and field procurements.

In some instances it may be necessary to place a contract without fully satisfying these criteria. For these cases, the criteria shall be met prior to start of related work activities.

The quality program evaluation may be achieved by review of controlled program manuals previously submitted and evaluated by responsible Bechtel personnel; manuals and procedures submitted to Bechtel, or made available for Bechtel review in the bidders' facilities in connection with the specific procurement; or an evaluation of performance on previous Bechtel procurements.

33

In addition, supplier program evaluation may be based on review of the supplier's quality history, source survey results, or analysis of bid for responsiveness to quality program requirements contained in the procurement documents.

For work covered entirely by ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III requirements, possession of the appropriate Certificate of Authorization constitutes an acceptable minimum requirement for bidder qualification. When an award is made, appropriate sections of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, shall apply.

Evaluation of suppliers of standard off-the-shelf items which are produced to a manufacturer's standard quality program is based on published data (catalogues, etc.) for conformance to engineering requirements and the use of historical quality performance data and source surveys.

7.2 PROCUREMENT SURVEILLANCE For purchased items, the primary responsibility for quality rests with the supplier. Technical control of supplier work is provided by Project Engineering through review of specified supplier documents, including drawings and procedures. Engineering is also responsible for providing or accepting supplier-proposed resolutions to discrepancies encountered. Inspection of supplier's work is the responsibility of supplier's inspection department.

Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Repre entatives perform surveillance inspection of supplier's work which may include specific measurements and examinations performed by the Supplier Quality Representative but generally includes monitoring and witnessing of inspections and tests performed by the supplier's quality control organization. Bechtel Supplier Quality Representatives frequently spot-check the dimensions, surface finish, and protective coatings, visually examine welds, review test reports and radiographs, and other details.

Project Engineering identifies procurements (both design office and field) requiring source surveillance inspection and audit. Procurement may recomend additional items. Manufactured or fabricated Q-List items, such as vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, piping subasserblies, valves, electrical panels, etc.,

are included in surveillance inspection and audit programs. Items which are typically excluded from the surveillance inspection program include standard off-the-shelf itein and bulk commodities where required quality can be adequately detemined by receipt inspection or post-installation checkout or test. Also excluded are materials where important physical and chemical properties are independently verified on samples taken at the supplier's facilities or at the jobsite.

For Q-List items, Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representatives perform their surveillances in accordance with quality plans and instructions. These plans are prepared by Procurement Supplier Quality based on instructions in the Procurement Supplier Quality Department Manual and may be modified by Project Engineering. They provide for identification of witness and hold points, identification of the examinations and tests which are selected to be

<titnessed by the Bechtel Supplier Quality Representative, and documentary evidence of completion of each witness and hold point operation, test, or examination. A supplier may not proceed with the work beyond a hold point without written agreement of waiver of hold points from Procurement Supplier Quality based on agreement from Project Engineering and the PQAE.

34

It is the responsibility of the Supplier Quality Representative to vcrify, to the extent required by his quality plan, that the supplier has met the quality requirements contained in the procurement documents before the material or equipment is released for shipment. This responsibility of the Supplier Quality Representatives is met through surveillance, which includes observations and checks at random of selected intervals (or points) of materials of construction, in-process fabrication, heat treatment, welding, examination, testing, dimensions, preparation for shipment, marking, tagging,

and quality verification. Bechtel Supplier Quality Representatives do not perform nondestructive examinations or tests on material and equipment at suppliers' plants. Such examinations and tests are performed by the supplier and selectively witnessed or otherwise monitored by the Supplier Quality Representative.

Typical quality plans have sections that describe the scope and define application, establish responsibilities, describe preplanning activities to be performed prior to making initial contacts with a supplier, describe the activities to be perfomed during the initial, progressive, and final surveillance visits, and describe reporting requirements.

Procurement surveillance may be perfomed by resident or area Supplier Quality Representatives assigned to several suppliers. Reports documenting surveillances performed, tests witnessed, and discrepancies observed are prepared by the Supplier Quality Representative and distributed in accordance with project procedures. Bechtel Supplier Quality Representatives are responsible for assuring that their surveillances of material, equipment, and specified documentation conform to the requirements of the quality plan and/or instructions and for releasing inspected items for shipment. Bechtel Supplier Quality Representatives have the authority to refuse release of nonconforming material .

Consistent with the complexity of the surveillance assignment, the Supplier Quality Representative will review with the supplier the requirements of the applicable quality plan. During the initial visit, the Supplier Quality Representative will discuss the following:

i

1. The quality requirements of the procurement documents
2. The applicable requirements of the governing codes and standards i
3. The requirements for Bechtel Engineering approvals
4. The requirements for Bechtel surveillance at principal subsupplier plants
5. The requirements for qualification of welders, nondestructive examination personnel, and inspection, examination, and testing personnel I

i 6. The requirements for Bechtel Supplier Quality witness and hold

! points, including release for shipment i

I

7. The requirements for complete and accurate supplier quality
verification documentation prior to release for shipment
8. The supplier's responsibilities for the quality of subtier items 35

In addition, the Supplier Quality Representative will establish witness and hold points in accordance with the guidelines establis:.u by the applicable quality plans and procurement documents. During the course of progressive surveillance, the Supplier Quality Representative has the prerogative to make other surveillances and witness other examinations and tests necessary to detemine the supplier's compliance with the requirements of the procurement documents.

Surveillance of jobsite contractors is the responsibility of Quality Control utilizing Quality Control Instructions and Inspection Records provided by procedures contained in the Project Procedures Manual.

1 The Constructor at STPEGS is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of his inspection program.

7.3 RECEIVING INSPECTION Receiving inspection practices confom to the requirements of ANSI i

N45.2.2-1972 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.38, Rev. 0, 3/73, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document. These are perfomed in accordance with Quality Control Instructions by Quality Control personnel.

Documentary evidence that the item conforms to procurement documents, required to be available at the jobsite prior to installation, or use as a conforming item, includes as follows:

1. For Bechtel procured
  • and inspected items not covered by ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements, a certificate of conformance** (signed by an authorized representative of the supplier identifying the specific technical requirements met by 1{ the item by referencing the appropriate Bechtel specification and other governing codes and standards) and acknowledgement that the Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representative has reviewed the required documentation and has released the item.

This may be obtained by having the certificate signed by the Bechtel Supplier Quality Representative to verify that he has reviewed applicable supplier documentation supporting the

, certificate and released the items, or by receipt of a separate teletype or report from the Supplier Quality Representative indicating that his inspection is complete and the item has been released. Receipt of the certificate of conformance and the Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representative release constitutes documentary evidence that materials and equipment 4 confom to procurement requirements and may be installed. If the balance of the documentation package required by the procurement documents is received prior to or with the shipment, the certificate of confomance may be waived.

  • Also applies to cases of Bechtel client (applicant) procured items for which 1 Bechtel is acting as agent for the client.
    • The certificate of confomance confoms to ANSI H45.2.13-1976, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.123, Rev. O,10/76, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document.

l I 36

2. For Bechtel procured and inspected items covered by ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements, the same requirements prevail as above, plus the appropriate Code Data Report.
3. For Bechtel procured and noninspected items, all quality verification documentation required to be submitted with the procurement documents must be reviewed and verified (as a part of receiving inspection) at the jobsite by Quality Control personnel or Procurement Supplier Quality personnel.
4. For nuclear steam supply system supplier furnished items, appropriate certification from the NSSS supplier in accordance with his quality program
5. For cases when procurement documents do not require the supplier to furnish quality verification documentation, satisfactory
receiving inspection results constitute the necessary documentary evidence that items conform to procurement dociments.

Standard off-the-shelf items are visually inspected for identification and condition at receipt.

Complete quality verification record packages are requested for delivery prior to, or with, the shipment. Documented control measures, with provisions for follow-up, are provided to expedite receipt of quality verification packages which are delayed beyond the time of shipment. Completed quality verification records packages received at the construction site are checked for completeness and traceability by quality control personnel or Procurement Supplier Quality personnel and audited by Quality Assurance. Project Engineering may elect to have selected quality verification documentation delivered to the design office for review by so specifying in procurement documents.

7.4 SUPPLIER AUDITS The supplier control program provides for periodic audits of selected i suppliers' quality assurance programs as described in section 18. Design contractor and consulting program work is monitored by Project Engineering.

37

SECTION 8 IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL OF !!ATERIALS, PARTS, AND C0tiP0NENTS Identification requirements are determined during the generation of specifications and design drawings. Procurement documents provide the requirements for identification of purchased items.

Parts, components, subassemblies and equipment, and partially fabricated items may be identified by stenciled or etched markings, strip marking, imprinted tape, color coding, and tags. Large quantities of small items, unless specifically required by code or standard, may be identified as to heat, batch, lot, or specification by applying markings to bags, bins, tanks, or other suitable containers. Identification of installed or assenbled items requiring traceability may be transferred to inspection records or as-built documents if desired and is required if markings are hidden or subject to obliteration during fabrication or installation.

Organizations receiving materials, parts, or components verify that these are properly identified and are accompanied by appropriate documentation.

Provisions are made for handling and storing items to retain identification and to prevent intermixing.

38

SECTION 9 CONTROL OF SPECIAL PROCESSES The requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are invoked, as applicable, in the Bechtel program. Special processes requiring procedure and/or personnel qualification beyond those required by the code are identified in technical specifications by reference to appropriate industry codes and standards, where available, or by specific identification in the technical specification. Supplier and contractor special process qualification data are subject to review by Bechtel.

Special processes performed in the construction of STPEGS, including welding, nondestructive examination, protective coating, cleaning and flushing, are imposed on the constructor by applicable specifications. The requirements for welding and nondestructive examination comply with applicable portions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code, American Welding Society Standards, and the Society of Nondestructive Testing (SNT-TC-1 A-80 and supplements), as applicable. Cleaning and flushing procedures and personnel qualifications conform to the requirements of ANSI N45.2.1-1973, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.37, Rev. O, 3/73, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document.

Other unique special processes or work operations identified by Westinghouse Electric Corp., the nuclear steam system supplier or Project Engineering are properly qualified and performed by trained personnel in accordance with specified technical requirements.

Current qualification records of procedures, equipment, and personnel are maintained at the jobsite. Active files are maintained in the design office, and copies of qualification records covering special processes and procedures are provided to the jobsite. STPEGS maintains up-to-date lists of personnel qualifications and/or applicable equipment qualifications for special processes. Controls are provided to assure that personnel qualification records are regularly reviewed, and the appropriate requirements for requalification are implemented. Implementation of these controls is verified by Quality Control personnel and audited by Quality Assurance with the assistance of Materials and Quality Services.

39

SECTION 10 INSPECTION As described in Section 7, suppliers' and contractors' programs are subject to surveillance by Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representatives and Quality Control Engineers as applicable.

The responsibilities for inspection of Bechtel construction work are identified in Sections 1 and 2. Quality verification inspection, witness of testing activities, and evaluation of test results are performed by Quality Control personnel who are independent of site engineering and craft supervision. Quality Control Engineers receive administrative and technical direction from the Project Quality Control Engineer. The overall inspection program is monitored by resident construction site Quality Assurance personnel and audited by Division Quality Assurance.

Inspection, witness of testing activities, and evaluation of test results are performed in accordance with proc dures contained in the Project Procedures Manual supplemented by construct 1;a quality control instructions, or work operations and planning documents. Inspection planning includes receiving inspection, construction and installation inspection, and testing.

Quality control instruction and inspection records are prepared to cover onsite receiving, maintenance, installation, testing, and cc;.tracted work activities performed during the construction phase. These are the controlling documents used by Quality Control Engineers for performance of onsite quality verification activities. These identify what inspections are required, the inspection acceptance / rejection criteria, how and by whom the inspections are to be performed, and the sequence. They are available prior to inspection.

Inspection and acceptance criteria are derived from engineering design documents, supplier information, and construction procedures. Standard inspection instructions to be used on STPEGS are approved by the Project Quality Control Engineer.

In addition, all work covered by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Yessel Code,Section III, is also subject to independent inspection by authorized Code Inspectors in accordance with the Code rules.

Inspection procedures or instructions and records provide the following information:

1. Reference to applicable documents such as drawings, specifications, and procedures
2. Identification of prerequisites and special process control requirements, such as personnel, procedure, or equipment qualification 40

'3. Identification of characteristics to be inspected

4. Individuals or groups responsible for performing the inspection
5. Acceptance criteria (explicit or by reference) obtained from specifications, drawings, sLpplier instructions, and construction standards
6. A description of the method of inspection and equipment to be used or reference to an appropriate procedure
7. Identification of frequency of inspection or sampling plan
8. Record of results of the inspection, including any special documentation, and sign-off by the inspector
9. Verification that all inspection operations are complete and acceptable The personnel qualification procedures include provisions to maintain and periodically review records of inspectors' qualifications to ensure that they are kept current.

Inspections of modifications, repairs, and replacements are performed either in accordance with the original inspection procedure, instruction or plan, or special procedures or plans appropriate to the work activity.

41

i SECTION 11 TEST CONTROL Tests required to qualify, demonstrate, or assure quality of procured items or completed construction are defined in engineering drawings, specifications, or test procedures.

Construction tests are an extension of construction inspection. Construction testing is conducted to demonstrate that the equipment installation is complete and that the electrical systems are properly wired. Test plans or procedures, and test reports and records are used to demonstrate that completed tests have met test objectives.

System cleaning, flushing, instrument and control settings, and performance demonstration are part of the preoperational and startup test program.

Preoperational and startup testing is under the control of HL&P. Bechtel startup engineers may provide assistance to HL&P in the preparation of startup procedures and supervision of startup tests. Bechtel startup engineers are independent of the construction and HL&P's operating organization and are qualified to collect, analyze, and evaluate test results in accordance with the requirements of ANSI N45.2-1971, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.28, Rev. O, 6/72.

42

SECTION 12 CONTROL OF MEASURING AND TEST EQUIPMENT The Bechtel Quality Control Program provides for calibration, maintenance, and control of measuring and test equipment used in construction. Procedures provide for unique identification of each instrument or equipment item requiring calibration or checking, establishment of calibration schedules based upon the elapsed time or usage cycles, and provisions for identification of calibration status by tags, labels, or markings applied to the item.

Records are maintained to show the status of items under the calibration program.

Inspection procedures require that the inspector check calibration labels or tags as well as apparent proper functioning of the instrument prior to use to assure that the calibration period has not lapsed and the equipment is in proper working order.

The identification of measuring and test equipment used in performing tests is entered in the test records when the validity of the test result is critically dependent on the accuracy of the test equipment.

Calibration standards are traceable to nationally recognized standards, or the basis for calibration is properly documented. Calibration standards have an uncertainty (error) requirement of no more than 1/4 of the tolerance of the intended use of the equipment being calibrated. A greater uncertainty (error) is acceptable when limited by the state of the art.

Provisions for contractor's control of measuring and test equipment are included in procurement documents by specifying ANSI N45.2-1971, Section 13.

The Bechtel surveillance inspection program of contractor's activities includes review of this element in the contractor's program. Contractors are required to apply practices similar to those described for the Bechtel program.

Performance and adequacy of supplier, constructor, contractor, and Bechtel construction programs for control of measuring and test equipment are verified by surveys or audits performed by Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality, Quality Control, or Quality Assurance personnel, as applicable.

43

SECTION 13 HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING The requirements for packaging, marking, and shipping are specified in procurement documents for Q-List items by reference to ANSI N45.2.2-1972 or by provision of specific technical requirements which meet the intent of this standard.

Procedures for equipment and system cleaning and flushing and cleanness control conform to the appropriate requirements of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.37, Rev. O, 3/73, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document.

For supplier, constructor, or contractor work, special handling, storage, shipping, and preservation requirements are identified in technical specifications which either provide, or require the vendor or contractor to provide, the required procedures and instructions. The packaging, handling, and shipping practices of the suppliers are subject to review by Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representatives at the source prior to shipment for compliance with requirements defined in procurement documents.

At the construction site, materials and equipment are received, inspected, stored, and maintained in accordance with standard field procedures supplemented by special procedures and requirements issued by project engineering or furnished by suppliers. Materials and equipment are physically inspected upon arrival at the jobsite and moved into prescribed storage areas or to the installation site if adequate protection is available. Innediate movement to the installation site is permitted if it would eliminate multiple handling and is compatible with the construction schedule. Special environmental conditions, such as inert gas, specific moisture content levels, and temperature levels prescribed in procedures or specifications, are controlled at the site.

Procedures are provided, as appropriate, for handling special items and for the care and maintenance of material handling equipment. Otherwise, standard material handling methods are used to ensure cire and protection against physical damage. Special handling instructions and procedures for major or special items are included in procedures reviewed by Project Engineering or Bechtel construction specialists. Personnel responsible for handling these major or special items will be qualified to the extent required by these special handling instructions and procedures. Preparation for and performance of rigging operations involving major equipment, such as reactor vessels, steam ger. orators, and pressurizers, are witnessed by Bechtel construction rigging specialists.

44

SECTION 14 INSPECTION, TEST, AND OPERATING STATUS Construction procedures and inspection instructions provide for identification of inspection status of receipt inspection or work-in-process by using work sequence plans, inspection records, physical locations, tags, markings, or other devices compatible with the item, system, or operation being inspected or tested. Progress of work is entered in records, and status identification is changed to reflect current conditions. At the completion of construction, a tagging system is employed to visually indicate the operating status of equipment and systems which are in test or rework. Records of test results are prepared and maintained.

Work is performed according to prescribed sequences required to assure quality, and in accordance with the provisions contained in this report.

Inspection points may be deferred or waived without generation of a nonconformance report only when specifically provided for in the governing procedure. Inspection points can be deferred only when the element can be inspected at a later time in the sequence and a later hold point exists. In these cases, the inspection records or checklists are not completed until the inspection point is picked up at a later date. If physical control of the item is required to prevent its inadvertent use or installation beyond the point where the inspection can be performed, the item is tagged or othemise identified and conditionally released with a limit placed on future work operations.

Procedures or instructions include identification of the individuals or groups responsible for application and removal of status indicators.

Project Engineering and supervisory personnel are authorized to apply and remove identifying tags, markings, and labels on equ'pcent in accordance with approved procedures. Quality Control personnel are the only ones authorized to direct application and removal of inspection status indicators. Bechtel, in cooperation with the plant owners' operating personnel, establishes a tagging procedure which delineates those authorized for applying and removing tags during preoperational testing phases.

45 m

SECTION 15 NONCONFORf1ING ITEMS Suppliers and contractors are required to advise Bechtel of all nonconformance from procurement documents or Bechtel-agproved designs for which the recomended disposition is " repair" or use as is." Bechtel reserves the right to accept or reject the disposition. Bechtel requires suppliers to submit proposed repair procedures for major nonconfomances for approval by project engineering prior to their use. Reports of nonconformances identified by Bechtel personnel are prepared by the supplier, Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representatives, or Project Engineering to assure complete and adequate documentation. Copies of completed nonconfomance reports are forwarded to the jobsite prior to, or with, the release of the item; or identification of outstanding nonconfomances are included in the Supplier Quality Representative's release.

Nonconformances discovered during Bechtel receiving inspection or construction activities are controlled and documented in accordance with a standard Quality Control procedure. The procedure provides for identification and documentation of the nonconformance and control of the item, identifies the authority for approval of proposed resolution, and provides for documentation of reinspection results. Important elements of the procedure include requirements to:

1. Tag and segregate whenever practical.
2. Detemine interim disposition by field organizations.
3. Have Project Engineering approve dispositions.
4. Provide conditional release of nonconfoming items upon approval of Quality Assurance.
5. Review completed nonconfomance reports by Quality Assurance to establish need for corrective action. Repetitive nonconfomances are reported to higher levels of management for review and resolution on a generic basis.

The authority for disposition of nonconforming items follows the rules for approval of design changes described in Section 3 of this document. Quality Assurance reviews dispositions to determine that they are fully responsive to the conditions described in the nonconfomance report. Quality Control is responsible for verification of rework and repair dispositions, applying inspection processes at least equivalent to that applied to the original work. " Repair" or "use as is" dispositions on nonconformances to procurement requirements at a supplier's plant must be accepted by Project Engineering.

46

Nonconfoming items discovered at final inspection which cannot be corrected by rework or completion of originally prescribed processing are required to be identified, tagged, and/or segregated. Discrepancies in work not yet submitted for final inspection which can be corrected by rework or completion of work processes are not considered to be nonconformances. For construction work performed by Bechtel, no further work can proceed on the nonconforming item until an approved disposition is implemented, unless a conditional release is approved by Quality Assurance. Suppliers, and Constructor /

Contractor (s), as required by procurement documents, apply similar procedures involving their quality assurance functions. Bechtel Procurement Supplier Quality Representatives are instructed to withhold release for shipment until all nonconformances have been resolved or an interim disposition is approved by Project Engineering.

The program also provides for the participation of the AS!E Authorized Inspector for nonconfomance dispositions on Code covered items.

47

SECTION 16 CORRECT NE ACTION The corrective action program provides procedures for prompt identification and correction of conditions adverse to quality which may require corrective action. Corrective action, when initiated, shall be documented. A decision that corrective action is not required need not be documented.

Within the Bechtel program, the identification of situations which may need corrective action is accomplished through review of nonconformance reports, supplier surveillance activities, quality assurance surveillance and monitoring programs, and quality assurance audits. Corrective action is controlled and documented by means of Standard Deficiency Reports and the associated procedure. These provide for (a) the identification and reporting by any member of the project team of situations or occurrences which warrant corrective action, (b) determination of the cause and identification of the corrective action to be taken by the responsible organization, (c) reporting the cause and corrective action to proper level of management, (d) final verification by the Project Quality Assurance Engineer that corrective action has been taken, and (e) review by Quality Assurance management for implication or effect on other work.

Corrective action involving design documents, investigation of cause, and actions taken to preclude recurrence is applied to errors detected after the design document is issued for use. Such errors, detected after the design document is issued for use, are formally documented and are reviewed for corrective action. These are documented by design change notices, revision block entries, or reports, such as supplier discrepancy reports, field nonconformance reports, startup reports, or feedback from utilities during operation of the plant. Significant problems are also reviewed for progrannatic corrective action by Quality Assurance.

This program also provides for the evaluation of conditions reported which may require reporting to the NRC by HL8P in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55(e).

48

SECTION 17 QUALITY ASSURANCE RECORDS The requirements of ANSI N45.2-1971, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.28, Rev. O, 6/72 are applied to Bechtel activities. Records produced as a result of the quality program are prepared and maintained by project groups, suppliers, and contractors as their work is being performed.

Project engineering records are retained by the project engineering team as work is performed. It is normal practice to microfilm documents at regular intervals, unless duplicate copies are available at an alternate location.

Provisions for collection of completed records in the design office, or at the jobsite, and the criteria for storage and retention recomended in ANSI N45.2.9-1974, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.88, Rev. 2,10/75, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A are applied to quality records.

Documentation of the design review process is prepared and maintained in accordance with Section 3 of this document. Design changes may be issued on an interim basis by means of change notices. However, these are ultimately incorporated in revisions to the governing documents, unless the change is a limited waiver (e.g., "use as is" on a nonconformance report) which does not generally apply to the design document. Copies of released drawings, specifications, technical reports, and similar documents are placed in Engineering office files, Construction office files, and submitted to HL&P.

At the completion of engineering, final copies of these records are provided to HL&P. Bechtel Engineering retains control of design calculations and analyses. These are available for review by HL&P and appropriate regulatory bodies.

>pplier records which identify as-built status and verify quality'cf the work are requested from the supplier and placed in construction site quality record files. In some instances, with the agreement of Bechtel and HL&P, suppliers are permitted to retain custody of certain records if retention procedures and storage facilities are adequate and access is provided to HL&P.

Completed quality verification records, including nonconformance reports for

" repair" and "use as is" dispositions, are placed in quality record files.

HL&P and appropriate regulatory groups are provided access to these files while they remain in Bechtel custody. At the completion of the Bechtel assignment, these files are turned over to HL&P.

The requirements and guidelines for receipt, control, and retention of pennanent quality assurance records contained in ANSI N45.2.9-1974, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.88, Rev. 2,10/76, as interpreted by the positions contained in Appendix A of this document and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, are employed for the control of construction site quality record files. Identification of the records and method of turnover to HL&P are established for STPEGS through agreement between Bechtel and HL&P.

49

SECTION 18 AUDITS A comprehensive program of audits is conducted by STPEGS covering the various project activities to assure applicable portions of the Quality Assurance Program are adequately and effectively implemented.

The STPEGS audit program includes both monitoring by Quality Assurance Personnel of daily activities conducted at the construction site or design office as well as formal ceriodic team audits performed by individuals independent of project activities being audited. The combination of project and division Quality Assurance management audits of Bechtel activities satisfies the requirement for annual audits of the applicable elements of the Quality Assurance program. Audit activities include the following:

1. Audits of Project Engineering activities by Quality Assurance personnel. These audits are planned, scheduled, and documented. Results are reported to the Project Engineer, Project Manager, and the imediate functional supervisor of the Design Office Project Quality Assurance Engineer.
2. Audits of field Construction activities (including contractors for Bechtel Construction Management jobs) by Quality Assurance personnel. These audits are planned, scheduled, and documented. Results are reported to the Field Construction Manager, Project Manager, and the imediate functional supervisor of the Site Project Quality Assurance Engineer.
3. Audits of Supplier activities by the Procurement Supplier Quality Department.
4. Audits of Project Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Quality Control activities by Quality Assurance audit teams under the direction of the Manager of Division Quality Assurance, assisted by Materials and Quality Service specialists and others as required. These audits are conducted at least annually and results are reported to the management of the function audited, cognizant project management, and division management. A sumary of the results of these audits is reported by the Manager of Division Quality Assurance to the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurance.
5. Audits of division engineering technical staff and services activities performed on an annual basis under the direction of the Manager of Division Quality Assurance. These audits cover those groups doing design and/or review outside direct control of the Project Engireer. Results of these audits are reported to the manager or supervisor of the function audited and division management. A surnary of the results of these audits is reported by the Manager of Division Quality Assurance to the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurance.

50

6. Audits of Procurement and Materials and Quality Service activities conducted annually by Quality Assurance personnel under the direction of the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurance.

These audits are conducted for the benefit of all divisions, and division Quality Assurance personnel participate in the audits.

Results of these audits are reported to cognizant management of the audited group, quality assurance management in each division, and the BPC-Manager of Quality Assurance.

The purpose of the audit program is to assure compliance with all aspects of the QA program. Specifically, the audit program includes:

1. Audits conducted:to assure that specialists, consultants, suppliers, constructor, and contractors are following their required prograus for, activities affecting quality, including activities associated with site features which affect plant safety.

~

2. Audits of all quality-related procedures. Such procedures include essential steps in the preparation, review, and control of design output documents; preparation, review, and control of procurement documents; indoctrination and training programs; and requests for proposals and evaluation of bids.

Audit frequencies vary, depending upon the nature and importance of the activity being perforraed and results achieved. The preceding listing provides information on frequency of management audits. Audits of activities are initiated early enough in th? project cycle to assure effective implementation of the Quality Assurance Program, typically within three to six months after the start of work on activities affecting quality, and continue at regular intervals throughout the duration of the activity.

Audit findings are documented, reviewed with supervision having responsibility in the audit area, and reported to management; management audit reports include assessment of overall program implementation and direct attention to significant problem areas.

Audit programs include provisions for identification of deficiencies, detenalnation that corrective action is defined, and follow-up to verify that timely corrective action has been taken and is effective. Audits include

~

selective review and evaluation of quality-related procedures, instructions, work practices, and examination of items and records. Records of audits are available to STPEGS.

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.30, Revision 0, August 1972 (ANSI N45.2.4-1972, IEEE 336, Installation, Inspection, and Testing Requirements for Instrumentation and Electric Equipment During the Construction of Nuclear Power Generating Stations)

The requirements of the referenced standard will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program for construction of safety-related items as interpreted in the regulatory position as modified and interpreted below.

1) Section 1.2, Applicability. The standard is applied to the items and systems identified in paragraph 1.1.1 and to additional systems depending on the nature and scope of the work to be performed and the importance of the item or service involved.
2) 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 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.

A-2

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.37, Revision 0, March 1973 (ANSI N45.2.1-1973, Cleaning of Fluid Systems and Associated Components During Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants)

The requirements of the referenced standard as modified in the regulatory position will be applied to cleaning activities specified or applied by Bechtel to safety-related items as modified and interpreted below.

1) 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 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.

lastallation 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 II, 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.

2) Section 4, Preinstallation Cleanliness. This section states,

" Items should not be delivered to the point of installation site sooner than necessary unless the installed location is considered a better storage area." As an alternate to this requirement, items may be delivered to the installation site sooner than 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.

3) Section 3.1.2, Bechtel interprets the lighting level of 100 footcandles to be guidance. It is Bechtel's normal practice that the lighting level for determining " metal 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 deems necessary.

A-3

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.38, Revision 0, March 1973 (ANSI N45.2.2-1972 Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage, and Handling of Items for Nuclear Power Plants

[During the Construction Phase])

The requirements of the referenced standard as modified and interpreted in the regulatory position will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program during the construction phase as described in Section 13 of this report, subject to the following clarifications and as modified and interpreted below.

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

Classification differing from Section 2.7 will be considered acceptable provided no degradation is assured; for example, electric motors designed for outside service may be stored in a level C area rather than a level B.

2) 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, B, 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 area) or guards may not be provided. Level D areas will be posted with the storage level designation only."

3) 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.
4) Section 6.2.4, Storage of Food and Associated Items. Controlled areas, 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.
5) In Section 8, the control of documentation and records shall be in accordance with Section 17 of this document.
6) 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 difficulty of providing a leakproof barrier. In these cases a positive pressure purge flow may be utilized as an alternative to the leakproof barrier.

A-4

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.39, Revision 0, March 1973 (ANSI N45.2.3-1973, Housekeeping a During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants)

The requirements of the referenced standard will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program for construction of safety-related items except as modified or interpreted below.

1) Section 2.1, Planning. The required planning is frequently perfomed 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 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.

2) Alternative equivalent zone designations and requirements may be utilized to cover those situations not f acluded in the subject standard; for example, situations in which shoe covers and/or coveralls are required but material acc3untability is not. In addition, zones might be combined into 'he next more restrictive category in order to reduce total number of zones.

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.58, Revision 0, dated August 1973 (ANSI N45.2.6-1973, Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Inspection, Examination and Testing Personnel)

The requirements of the referenced standard, as modified and interpreted in the regulatory position will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program during the construction phase as described in Section 2.5 of this document, subject to the following clarifications:

1) Section 3.4, " Level III Personnel Capabilities," of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 specifies the capability requirements of Level III personnel . In addition, the individual should be capable of reviewing and approving inspection, examination, and testing procedures and of evaluating the adequacy of such procedures to accomplish the inspection, examination, and test objectives.
2) Section 3.5, " Education and Experience-Reconnendations," of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 states that the education and experience specified are recommendations and that other factors may provide reasonable assurance that a person can competently perform a particular task. The set of recomendations has been reviewed by the NRC staff and found to be acceptable with one exception.

In addition to the recornendations listed under Section 3.5 for Level I, II, and III personnel, the candidate should be a high school graduate or have earned the General Education Development equivalent of a high school diploma. Since only one set of recomendations is provided for the education and experience of personnel, cocnitment to comply with the regulatory positions of this guide in lieu of providing an alternative to the reconnendations of the standard means that the specified education and experience recomendations of the standard will be followed.

3) Section 4, " Performance," of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 states: "When a single inspection or test requires implementation by a team or group, personnel not meeting the requirements of this Standard may be used in data-taking assignments or in plant or equipment operation provided they are supervised or overseen by a qualified individual participating in the inspection, examination, or test." These personnel should have sufficient training to ensure an acceptable level of competence in the performance of their activities.
4) An important concept that is not addressed directly in ANSI N45.2.6-1978, ANST (sic) Recocnended Practice No. SNT-TC-1 A-1975 (sic), or the AS!!E Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is that occupational radiation exposure should be maintained as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). In all cases where inspection, examination, and testing personnel may be exposed to radiation fields during their activities in restricted areas, these personnel should receive instruction in radiation protection and radiation-dose- reduction considerations related to work they are expected to A-6

APPENDIX A perform. Regulatory Guide 8.8, "Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposures at Nuclear Power Stations will be As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable," describes techniques, features, and recomendations to maintain occupational exposures ALARA.

5) Section 2.2, " Determination of Initial Capability," and Section 2.3, " Evaluation of Performance," of ANSI N45.2.6-1978 deal with the use of evaluation of job performance and determination of initial capability to perform the job. Use of the measures outlined in these sections to establish that an individual has the required qualifications in lieu of required education and experience should result in documented objective evidence (i.e.,

procedures and record of written test) demonstrating that the individual indeed does have " comparable" or " equivalent" competence to that which would be gained from having the required education and experience.

6) As an alternate, compliance with ANSI N45.2.6-1978 as specified by Regulatory Guide 1.58 (Revision 1, 9/80) in its entirety is acceptable.
7) Revise Table I of ANSI N45.2.6-1973 in accordance with the attached Table I (page A-8).

NOTE:

Regarding inspection, test, and examination during fabrication before receipt at the construction site, Bechtel fulfills this requirement by specifying applicable requirements of ANSI N45.2.6 or the equivalent (the Standard N45.2.6 may not be listed as a requirement in procurement document) tailored to the nature of the procurement and comensurate with the degree of skill and qualification necessary for inspection, test, and examination. For example, on simple inspections using go-no-go techniques or simple linear measurements within broad tolerance bands, the requirements of ANSI N45.2.6 would not apply; a satisfactory equivalent being routine inspection instructions and personnel assignments by supervision.

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.64, Revision 2, June 1976 (ANSI N45.2.11-1974, Quality Assurance Requirements for the Design of Nuclear Power Plants)

The requirements of the referenced standard as modified by the regulatory position will be applied to Bechtel Quality Program for safety-related items.

The following interpretations of the standard serve to clarify the Bechtel program in relation this regulatory guide.

1) Section 3.1, Design Input Requirements, General. This section implies that all necessary design input (as listed in Section 3.2) should be available prior to the start of a design activity. In practice, certain design activities are initiated before the fim input requirements are available. (For example, fcundation designs prepared based on preliminary infomation or equipment sizes and mounting, embedded conduit run based on preliminary estimates of circuit requirements, etc.) The design phase Quality Assurance program will be structured to ensure that all necessary design input is available before completion of final design of the work affected by the input and that final design input is available for used in verification of the final design.
2) Section 4.1, Design Process, General. Paragraph 3 implies traceability back from final design to the source of design input. In practice, a literal interpretation of this is not always possible. For example, final design drawings do not identify the related calculations. This paragraph will be interpreted to mean that it shall be possible to relate the criteria used and analyses performed to the final design documents and that record files will pemit location of analyses supporting specific design output documents.
3) Section 4.2, Design Analyses. This section implies a requirement for retention of all calculations. In principle, it is considered good practice for the responsible engineer or engineering organization to retain all final calculations, and this will be done for all manual calculations covered by the Bechtel program. However, for computer programs only documentation of the design input, assumptions made in the analyses, results obtained, and evidence of verification will be retained since pemanent retention of all versions of all computer programs '.s not considered practical or necessary if sufficient infor;aation is available for a competent individual to verify the results using the input and assumptions.

APPENDIX A

4) Section 10, Records. In-process documentation, relating to checking and coordination of drawings (for example, check and coordination prints) or copies of marked-up specifications used

- to. solicit connents shall be retained until the drawing or specification is approved and issued for use outside of Bechtel Engineering. such in-process documents will be available for review / audit until the document is approved, but may be discarded once the document has been approved. In the first sentence of the second paragraph the phrase " final design documents" shall mean those documents which are the latest revision that has been issued for use.

5) Regulatory Position, Section C-2: If, in an axceptional circumstance, the originators' innediate supervisor is the only technically qualified individua1' available, the design verification or checking will be conducted by tie supervisor with the following provisions:
a. The other requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.64 will be met.
b. the justification will be individually documented and approved by the next level of supervision.
c. Quality Assurance audits will include review of the frequency and effectiveness of the use of the innediate supervisor to assure that this provision is used only in exceptional circumstances.

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.88, Rev. 2, October 1976 (ANSI N45.2.9-1974, Requirements for Collection, Storage, and Maintenance of Quality Assurance Records for Nuclear Power Plants).

The requirements of the referenced standard, as modified and interpreted in the regulatory position, will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program during

.the design and construction phase, as described in Section 17 of this document, subject to the following clarifications:

1) Section 1.4, Definitions. Quality Assurance Records - A document is considered completed when it has finished full processing and has been issued for use in design, procurement, construction, or manufacturing.
2) Section 1.4, Definitions. Authenticated Records - those records which are clearly identified as a statement by the individual or organization holding responsibility. Hand-written signatures are not required if the document or printout is clearly identified as a statement by the reporting individual or organization.
3) for Appendix A, an installation shall be considered to be in an "as constructed" condition if it is installed within the tolerances established by Project engineering indicated in the design output documents.

APPENDIX A ANSI N45.2.5-1974, Quality Assurance Requirements for Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Structural concrete and Structural Steel during the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants The requirements of the referenced standard will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program for construction of safety-related items as follows:

1) Samples and frequency for cadweld testing is in accordance with ACI-359/ASME Section III, Division 2, issued for trial use and coment in 1973, including addenda 1 through 6, (see Sections 3.8.1.6.3 and 3.8.3.6.3 of the STP Final Safety Analysis Report).
2) 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 minimum of 2 correlation tests are performed for each pumped placement exceeding 200 cu. yds.
b. Othenvise, a minimum of 2 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 weekly requirement for perfoming two correlation tests as specified in Item b above.

If the correlation test result shows a concrete property not meeting the specification limits and/or tolerances at the point of placement, the frequency 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 Tests," " Delivery Point," and " Placement Point" are as defined in ANSI N45.2.5-1978, Section 1.4.

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.116, Revision 0-R, June 1976 (ANSI N45.2.8-1975, Supplementary Quality Assurance Requirements of Installation, Inspection and Testing of Mechanical Equipment and Systems for the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants).

The requirement of the referenced standard as modified and interpreted in the regulatory position will be applied to the Bechtel quality program for construction of safety-related items except as modified and interpreted below:

1) Section 1.1, Scope. The term "important items" will be interpreted to apply to those activities or quality attributes of an item 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 important; 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.
2) 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 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.

3) Section 3.3, Process and Procedures. the terms ' installation site," " installation area," and " site" used in this standard shall be interpreted as follows:

a) " Installation site" or " site" will be interpreted the same as " construction site." When applied to documents, these may be at the central office or work area document control station.

b) Installation area - Immediate proximity of location where work is to be performed.

4) Section 3.5(e), Site Conditions. This requirement will be I applied only if subsequent correction of adjacent nonconformances could damage the item being installed.
5) Section 4.6, Care of Items. HL&P retains the authority and is the " Responsible Organization" for temporary usage of equipment or facilities unless specific (i.e., on a case by case basis) or l general authority is granted in writing to the Construction
Manager's organization.

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.123, Revision 0, October 1976 (ANSI N45.2.13-1976, cuality Assurance Requirements for control of Procurement of Items and Services for Nuclear Power Plants).

The requirements of the referenced standard as modified and interpreted in the regulatory position will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program during the design and construction phases except as modified and interpreted below:

1) Section C.3 of the Regulatory Guide - A corrective action system may, depending upon complexity and/or importance to safety of the item or service provided, be imposed upon the supplier.

When a corrective action system is imposed on a supplier, the applicable elements of Section 9.0 of the standard will be included and its implementation will be verified by Bechtel.

2) Section C.4 of the Regulatory Guide - Applicable information concerning the method (s) of acceptance of an item or service will be made available to receiving inspection personnel.
3) Section 4.2.a of the Standard - When evaluation of a supplier is based solely on historical supplier data, these data will primarily include Bechtel's records that have been accumulated
in connection with previous procurement actions. Data that includes experience of users of identical or similar products of the prospective supplier and product operating experience will be sed if they become available to Bechtel; however, such data are normally available only to those involved in plant operations.
4) Section 10.2.d of the Standard - The requirements of this section are interpreted as follows: The person attesting to a certificate shall be an authorized and responsible employee of the supplier and shall be identified by the supplier.
5) Bechtel's position relative to ANSI N45.2.13-1976, Section 10.2.f, Verification of the Validity of Supplier Certificates and the Effectiveness of the Certification system, is as follows: The verification of the validity of supplier certificates and the effectiveness of the certification system are accomplished as an integral part of the total supplier control and product acceptance program, and no separate Bechtel system exists that addresses itself solely to such verification. The degree of verification required will depend upon the type of item or service and their safety importance.

The means of verification may include source witness / hold points, source audits, and document reviews; independent inspections at the time of material receipt; user tests on selected comodities, such as concrete components; and tests after installation on selected components and systems. All of these means verify whether or not a supplier has fulfilled procurement document requirements and whether or not a certification system is effective.

A-14

APPENDIX A Regulatory Guide 1.144, Revision 1, September 1980 (ANSI N45.2.12-1977, Requirements for Auditing of Quality Assurance Programs for Nuclear Power Plants )

The requirements of this standard will be applied to the Bechtel Quality Program as modified and interpreted below:

1) ANSI N45.2.12-1977, Section 1.3 states, "In no way shall the performance of audits by an organization diminish the responsibility of the audited organization 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 Texas Project are audited annually at a minimum, or at least once within the life of the activity, whichever is shorter.

These audits are performed by either HL&P, BEC, or ESI Quality Assurance personnel.

2) 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 compl eted. " 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.
