QAP3.0 DESIGN CONTROL 3.1 GENERAL REOUIREMENTS i
[ The CY Decommissioning Director is responsible for controlling design work, administering l design control activities (including design interface), and design modifications for quality systems, structures and components.
The CYQAP for design control is established to assure that the applicable design requirements, such as design bases, regulatory requirements, codes, technical standards and quality standards are identified in design documents which are reviewed, approved and controlled in accordance with established procedures. Such controls include a review for suitability of application of materials, equipment, parts and processes that are essential to the l functions of the systems, structures and components. Changes to, and deviations from, specified requirements are identified, documented and controlled.
l The responsibility for the design control program rests with the CY Decommissioning l Director. The division of responsibilities andjurisdictional boundaries for program j implementation are set forth in the appropriate CY administrative procedures. Although other l organizations may be delegated the task of establishing and executing the design control program or any part thereof, the CY Decommissioning Director will retain the ultimate l
l responsibility for the program. The applicable requirements of the CYQAP will be imposed l on other organizations delegated the task of establishing or executing the program in accordance with QAP 4.0, " Procurement Document Control" and QAP 7.0, " Control of l Purchased Material, Equipment and Services," herein.
l The interface controls, both internal and external, for organizations perfomling design work ,
for quality systems, structures and components are identified and implemented in accordance l
- with documented procedures. This identification includes those organizations providing
! criteria, designs, specifications and technical direction. 1 i
l Measures are applied to verify the adequacy of design. The extent of design verification is l specified and documented by the responsible organization. The individuals performing l design verification should not:
l (1) have immediate supervisory responsibility for the individual performing the design; 1 (2) have specified a singular design approach; (3) have ruled out certain design considerations; or (4) have established the design inputs for the particular design aspect being verified. !
l i

1 The independent design verification should not dilute or replace the responsibility of the l supervisors for the quality of work performed under their supervision. Where changes to l previously verified designs have been made, design verifications are required for the change, including evaluation of the effects of those changes on the overall design. I Design verification may be accomplished by testing. Tests to demonstrate adequacy under adverse design conditions shall comply with the requirements of QAP 11.0," TEST CONTROL. l Design errors and deficiencies which adversely affect quality systems, structures and components in design process are documented, and appropriate corrective action is taken.
These design errors and deficiencies are documented in accordance with design change !
procedures or as defined in QAP 16.0," Corrective Action." l 3.2 IMPLEMENTATION ,
l The CY Director is responsible for the design, design review, engineering approval of I design changes, design evaluation and design control at the IINP. The function may be l delegated to other organizations to perfonn the design activity, or any part thereof, but the l responsibility fbr overall design remains with the CY Decommissioning Director. in all l cases, final engineering decisions and ultimate design control of systems, structures and l components related to the IINP is the responsibility of the CY Decommissioning Director.
l The CY Oversight department perfonns audits, surveillances, and inspections, to verify that Departments are effectively complying with the CYQAP and procedural requirements for design control.
CYAPCo is responsible for the performance, as appropriate, of off-site audits, surveillances, and inspections, to verify that vendors are effectively complying with the CYQAP and procedural requirements for design control.
CY Oversight performs, as appropriate, on-site audits, surveillances, and inspections of l these vendor activities.
3.2.1 DESIGN PILOCESS Design control measures are applied to design analyses, such as: stress, ther:m 1, hydraulic, nuclear radiation, accident and seismic analyses; compatibility of materials; accessibility for required inspection, maintenance, and repair; and delineation of acceptance criteria for inspections and test. Measures established to control design documents are described in QAP 6.0," Document Control."
QAP 3.0 12 CYQAP REV: 02 l
Program procedures and instructions define the method ofimplementing design control measunc. These measures require that applicable design requirements, )
- such as, design bases, regulatory requirement.s, codes and standards, are translated i into specifications, drawings, procedures or insttuctions. Instructions further require that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design i documents. All materials, equipment, parts and processes, including standard " oft the shell" cornmercial or previously approved items essential to the quality
! functions, are selected and reviewed for suitability of application.
The basis for selection may include industry standards, material and prototype hardware testing programs, and design review. ,
CY procedures assure that a documented check is perf<mned to verify the
[ accuracy and completeness of design drawings and specifications before release j for use.
l Design drawings and specifications issued for design changes are reviewed for ,
l completeness and accuracy before being released to operations, in accordance j l with CY procedures. '
l i
CY procedures describe the provisions to assure that design drawings and specifications are prepared, reviewed and approved in accordance with company l procedures, and that the docurnents contain the necessary quality assurance j l requirements, such as inspections and test requirements, acceptance requirements, I l and the extent of documenting inspection and test results. 1 3.2.2 DESIGN CHANGE CONTROL i
Procedures and instructions govern design change control during modifications to !
the HNP. Control of discrepant or deficient design conditions, and reported i
unsatisfactory performance, provide for the identification of design changes and a documented method to control these changes. Design and specification changes are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied during i the original design.
1 I
An independent review and approval of desiga changes is performed by the organization that conducted the original design reviews, unless another qualified organization is designated to perfonn this function.
I Proposed design change modifications are submitted to management for processing and review. This review includes the review by the Plant Operations l Review Committee (PORC). PORC advises the CY Unit Director on matters j relating to nuclear safety. Composition, responsibilities, and authority of the QAP 3.0 13 i CYQAP REV: 02 l
1
committee are defined in Section 6 of the CY Technical Specifications. If the proposed change involves a quality system structure or component, the change will be reviewed by qualified engineering personnel for technical adequacy.
Reviews of the safety evaluations associated with design change requests are 4
perfonned by the CY Nuclear Safety Assessment Board. The sequence of the NS AB review depends upon the detennination of whether an unreviewed safety question is involved (i.e., in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, if a proposed change in the facility involves an unreviewed safety question then the NSAB and NRC approval is required prior to implementation).
The combination of these independent reviews by the PORC and NSAB are performed to assure that:
- a. The adequacy of the proposed change is substantiated;
- b. Unreviewed safety questions are properly identified and dispositioned per 10 CFP 50.59; and
- c. Nuclear safety requirements have been addressed.
Errors and deficiencies in design, including the design process, that could adversely alTect quality structures, systems, and components are documented and corrective action is taken in accordance with QAP 16.0, " Corrective Action."
Notification of design changes are transmitted to responsible plant personnel as part of the design package close out. CY procedures describe this notification which assures that personnel are made aware of design change modifications.
3.2.3 DESIGN INTERFAG_ CONTROL The CY Decommissioning Director is responsible for review, coordination and documentation of design interfaces. Procedures provide for the method for identifying design interfaces, changes, and modifications affecting drawings and design documents.
3.2.4 INDEPENDENT DESIGN VERIFICK[lON Design changes are reviewed for adequacy and the sign-off perfbrmed by a person other than the originator of the design. Design verification is documented in accordance with procedures or instructions. Simplified calculations or computer programs may be utilized as alternate means of design verification. When design verification is performed by testing, the tests are perfomied using approved procedures, which specify the authority and responsibility of design verification personnel. Ultiraate responsibility fbr design adequacy and evaluation is retained l by the CY Decommissioning Director.
QAP 3.0 14 CYQAP j REV: 02 l
l .
Design verification (if other than by qualification testing) is normally completed prior to release for procurement, manufacturing, and construction, or to another organization for use in other design activities. For those cases where design verification cannot be completed prior to release for procurement, manufacturing, and construction, procedures ensure that design verification is completed prior to
{
the point when the installation is declared operational.
CY procedures describe the requirements which assure the following when testing )
is considered as an alternate method of design verification:
- a. Specifications or procedures provide criteria that specify when l verification should be by test. l
- b. Prototype, component or feature testing is performed as early as possible prior to installation of plant equipment, or prior to the point when the installation is declared operational.
l
- c. Verification by test performed under conditions that simulate the most adverse conditions as determined by analysis.
Particular emphasis is placed on assuring that designs are in confonnance with applicable codes, and on selecting the proper design verification or checking method. Procedures and instructions provide the requirements and necessary controls for design verification. These controls include a review to assure that design characteristics can be controlled, verification that there is adequate accessibility for inspection or test, and that inspection and test acceptance criteria are incorporated. Documentation of reviews is provided.
CY procedures include requirements which identify the responsibility of design verifiers, the areas and features to be verdied, and the extent of the documentation. .
CY procedures assure that procedural control is established for design documents that reflect the commitments of the SAR. These procedural controls vary for design documents which receive formal design verification by several disciplines or organizations, and those which can be reviewed by a single individual. The specific design documents and specialized reviews are determined and used as required by the design changes and modifications.
CY procedures are established to assure that verified computer programs are certified for a specific use.
The CY Decommissioning Director is responsible for assuring that design t
l documents provided by vendors are adequately approved and maintained.

A quorum of the Nuclear Safety Assessment Board shall consist of the Chairman or Vice Chairman and at least enough members to constitute a majority of the assigned members. No more than a minority of the quorum has line responsibility for operation / decommissioning of the llNP. No more than two alternates have voting status at any meeting in fulfillment of the quorum requirements.
- 3. ANSI N45.2.9-1224, paragraph 1.4. defmition of" Quality Assurance Records" states in part: "For the purposes of this standard, a document is considered a quality assurance record when the document has been completed."
CYAPCo has developed the following attemative definition to provide guidance during the l interim period from the time a document is completed until it is transmitted to the Nuclear Document Services Facility:
"A record is considered a working document until it is transmitted to the appropriate Nuclear Document Services Facility (NDSF) at which time it is designated as a Quality Assurance Record. The following maximum time limits are established for the transmittal of working documents to the NDSF:
Operations Documents - Documentation generated during Plant Operations may be maintained, as needed, by operating plant departments, for up to one year.
New Construction or Betterment Documents - Llocuments which evolve during new construction or betterment projects shall be transmitted to NDSF within 90 days of completion of a new construction project or tumover of a betterment project or plant operations.

l
- Procurement Documents - Inspection / Surveillance / Audit Reports generated during vendor oversight activities which are used to maintain vendor status fbr current and future procurements may be maintained, as needed, by CYAPCo for up to three l
years.
All Other Workine Documents - All other working documents shall be transmitted to NDSF within 6 months of their receipt or completion."
The requirements of ANSI N45.2.9-1974 do not apply to these " working documents" based on paragraph 1.1 of the ANSI standard which states:
"It (ANSI N45.2.9) is not intended to cover the preparation of the records nor to include l working documents not yet designated as Quality Assurance Records."
- 4. Regulatory Guide 1.64 - 6/76, the Regulatory position states, .in part, "It should not be construed that such verification constitutes the required independent design verification."
CYAPCo has developed the following alternative to allow for adequate independent design verification:
This review may be perfomied by the originator's Supervisor, only if the Supervisor:
Did not specify a singular design approach:
Did not establish the design inputs or did not rule out certain design considerations; Is the only individual in the organization competent to perfomi the review.
Where the Supervisor performs the design review, the next level of management shall fulfill the Supervisor's responsibilities.
- 5. ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976, paragraph 10.3.4, states in part, " Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation (should) shall be mutually established by the purchaser and supplier " Involvement by the supplier in establishing Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation is requested only when it is deemed necessary and proper by the responsible engineering organization.
CYAPCo no longer has any nuclear plants under construction. As a result, most l procurements are made for spare parts from suppliers who are not the original equipment manufacturer. In these cases, the supplier may have little or no understanding or knowledge of either the operation of the system the component is to be installed in, or applicable Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation. As such, CYAPCo assumes
- responsibility for establishing Post Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation.

- 6. ANSI N45.2.2 1972, paragraph 1.2, states in part that,"The requirements of this standard apply to the work of any individual or organization that participates in the packaging, l
shipping, receiving, storage, and handling ofitems to be incorporated into nuclear power L plants."
Since a portion of CYAPCo procurement activities involve commercial suppliers which do l not fully comply with the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2, Northeast Utilities Nuclear ,
Materials and Document Management organization verifies through source inspections, receipt inspection, and/or survey activities that the quality of the materials, items, components or equipment is preserved by those suppliers to the extent that packaging, shipping, storage and handling methods are employed which are commensurate with the nature of the product.
- 7. Regulatorv Guide 1.33 - 2/78. regarding audits, states in part:
(a)"The results of actions taken to correct deficiencies...at least once per 6 months."
(b) "... technical specifications and applicable license conditions - at least once per 12 months." l I
(c)"The performance, training, and qualifications of the facility stafT- at least once per 12 months."
(CYAPCo) has developed an alternative which modifies these audit frequencies to at least l l once per 24 months. This attemative has previously been accepted by the NRC via license !
amendments 181 for CY.
This alternative also takes exception to (c) above. It delets the requirement for Nuclear Oversight (CY Oversight) to audit the performance of the facility staff. This function will l be performed by the Nuclear Safety Assessment Board.
- 8. ANSI N18.7-1976. Paragranh 4, states that " Plant procedures shall be reviewed by an j individual knowledgeable in the area afTected by the procedure no less frequently than i every two years to determine if changes are necessary or desirable."
CYAPCo has developed the following attemative for plant procedure reviews.
Plant procedures will be periodically reviewed in accordance with administrative controls.
These controls will establish a schedule (in no case less frequently that every five years) for these periodic reviews. Applicable plant procedures will be reviewed following an unusual incident, such as an accident, unexpected transient, operator error, or equipment failure l (malfunction) as determined through the Corrective Action process and following a l
modification to a system.
i APPENDIX E 66 CYQAP j REV: 02
Non routine procedures such as Abnormal Operating Procedures, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, or other procedures whose use may be event driven, will be reviewed every two years and revised as defined in administrative procedures.
The Quality Assurance (or other independent) organization shall periodically audit a sample ofroutine plant procedures that are used more frequently than every two years. The audit is to ensure the acceptability of the procedures and verify that the procedure review and revision program is being implemented effectively. The root cause of significant deficiencies is to be detennined and corrected.
The current requirement to review each plant procedure on a biennial cycle results in the expenditure of significant technical and administrative resources. Pmgrammatic controls and practices are in place to provide adequate reviews, including the following:
- The plant modification processes require that procedures alTected by the modification be identified during tiie design change preparation, and revised prior to closure of the modification package.
. The Industry Experience Program involves the review ofindustry infomiation for applicability and the determination of further actions. This review includes an evaluation of applicable CY documents, such as procedures and the initiation of required changes.
. Administrative controls currently exist requiring that if a procedure cannot be performed as written, a procedure change must be completed prior to continuation of the procedure.
- Temporary changes are occasionally generated during, or prior to procedure use. Current administrative controls require that those changes that are permanent shall be incorporated into the procedure via the procedure revision process.
. As part of the audit and surveillance process, procedures are evaluated as to adequacy, ease of use, proper technical content, and compliance with applicable plans and programs.
e The Condition Resolution Program may require that a root cause analysis be performed for some events, violations and nonconforming conditions. Where identified as contributing factors, procedure changes are initiated.
. Changes to Technical Specifications and the FSAR are reviewed for potential impact on, and initiation of changes to plant procedures.
- Plant procedures are approved by appropriate personnel prior to initial use. Current administrative controls also require pre-job briefings for procedures identified as infrequent.
! This modification meets the intent of published regulatory requirements involving activities important to safety.
APPENDIX E 67 CYQAP REV: 02 l
I 9.- ANSI N18.1 - 19'71 " Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel" Section 4.2.2 states that "the operations manage shall hold a Senior Reactor Operator's License."
CYAPCO is permanently defueled and is no longer required to maintain Senior Reactor Operator's L.icenses, as previously approved by the NRC with the issuance of Amendment 193 to the CY Technical Specifications. Since CYAPCO is permanently defueled the Operations Manager is no longer required to maintain a Senior Reactor Operator's License.
l' CYAPCO will continue to maintain the Tecimical Specifications requirement for minimum shift crew composition which includes a Certified Fuel Handler.

- A quorum of the Nuclear Safety Assessment Duard shall consist of the Chairman or Vice Chairman and at least enough members to constitute a majority of the assigned members.
No more than a minority of the quorum has line responsibility for operation / decommissioning of the IINP. No more than two alternates have voting status at any meeting in fulfillment of the quorum requirements.
- 3. ANSI N45.2.9-1974, paragraph 1.4, definition of" Quality Assurance Records" states in part: "For the purposes of this standard, a document is considered a quality assurance record when the document has been completed."
CYAPCcNc-S=t Utilitie: has developed the following attemative definition to provide l guidance during the interim period from the time a document is completed until it is transmitted to the Nuclear Document Services Facility:
l "A record is considered a working document until it is transmitted to the appropriate Nuclear Document Services Facility (NDSF) at which time it is designated as a Quality Assurance Record. The following maximum time limits are established for the transmittal of working documents to the NDSF:
Ooerations Documents - Documentation generated during Plant Operations may be maintained, as needed, by operating plant departments, for up to one year New Construction or Betterment Documents - Documents which evolve during new
~
construction or betterment projects shall be transmitted to NDSF within 90 days of completion of a new construction project or turnover of a betterment project or plant operations.

Emcurement Documents - Inspection / Surveillance / Audit Reports generated during vendor oversight activities which are used to maintain vendor status for current and future l procurements may be maintained, as needed, by the Fuele= Ovemight Dep=tment CYAPCo for up to three years.
All Other Working Documents - All other working documents shall be transmitted to NDSF within 6 months of their receipt or completion."
The requirements of ANSI N45.2.9-1974 do not apply to these " working documents" based on paragraph 1.1 of the A'NSI standard which states:
I "It (ANSI N45.2.9) is not intended to cover the preparation of the records nor to include working documents not yet designated as Quality Assurance Records."
- 4. Regulatorv Guide 1.64 - 6/76. the Regulatory position states, in part, "It should not be construed that such verification constitutes the required independent design verification."
CYAPCcNerthe=t U "!!!= has developed the following attemative to allow for adequate independent design verification:
This review may be performed by the originator's Supervisor, only if the Supervisor:
Did not specify a singular design approach:
Did not establish the design inputs or did not rule out certain design considerations; Is the only individual in the organization competent to perform the review.
i Where the Supervisor performs the design review, the next level of management shall fulfill the Supervisor's responsibilities.
- 5. ANSI N45.2.13 - 1976, paragraph 10.3.4, states in part, " Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation (should) shall be mutually established by the purchaser and supplier." Involvement by the supplier in establishing Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation is requested only when it is deemed necessary and proper by the responsible engineering organization.
CYAPCcNorthe=t Uflities no longer has any nuclear plants under construction. As a l result, most procurements are made for spare parts from suppliers who are not the original equipment manufacturer. In these cases, the supplier may have little or no understanding or knowledge of either the operation of the system the component is to be installed in, or applicable Post-Installation Test requirements and acceptance documentation. As such, CYAPCcNc-the=t Utilitic assumes responsibility for establishing Post Installation Test l l requirements and acceptance documentation.

l Since a portion of CYAPCoNort'" Thies procurement activities involve commercial l l
suppliers which do not fully comply with the requirements of ANSI N45.2.2, Northeast Utilities Nuclear Materials and Document Management organization verifies through ;
source inspections, receipt inspection, and/or survey activities that the quality of the materials, items, components or equipment is preserved by those suppliers to the extent that packaging, shipping, storage and handling methods are ernployed which are commensurate j with the nature of the product. l l
- 7. Regulatorv Guide 1.33 - 2/78. regarding audits, states in part:

(a) "The results of actions taken to correct aeliciencies...at least once per 6 months." 1 (b) "... technical specifications and applicable license c onditions - at least once per 12 months."
(c) "The performance, training, and qualifications of the facility staff- at least once per 12 months."
NU-(CYAPCo) has developed an altemative which modifies these audit frequencies to at l least once per 24 months. This alternative has previously been accepted by the NRC via license amendments 181 for CY.
This alternative also takes exception to (c) above. It deletes the requirement for Nuclear Oversight (CY Oversight) to audit the performance of the facility staff. This function will be performed by the Nuclear Safety Assessment Board.

Paragranh 4. states that " Plant nroegdures shall be reuew:ed by an individual knowledeeable in the area af&cted by the nrocedure no less freauently than every two years to determine if changes are necessarv or desirable" CYAPCo has developed the following alternative for olant nrocedure reviews.
Plant nrocedures will be neriodically reviewed in accordance with administrative controls.
These controls will establish a schedule (in no case less freauently that exery five years) for these neriodic reviews. Anplicable niant crocedures will be reviewed followine an unusual incident. such as an accident. unexnected transient. onerator error. or cauinment failute (mDlftmetion) as determined through the Corrective Action nrocess and following a i mndification to a system.

Non routine nrocedures such as Abnomial Onerating Procedures. Emergency Plan Imnlementine Procedures. or othe.nprocedures whose use may be event driven. will be reviewed everv two years and revised as defined in administrative nrocedures.
The Ouality Assurance (or other indenendent) organization shall neriodically audit a samnle of routine nlant nrocedures that are used mDre freauently than everv two vears. The audit is to ensure the accentability of the nrocedures and verify that the nrocedure review and revision orogram is being imnlemented effectively. The root cause of significant deficiencies is to be determined and corrected.
The current reauirement to review each niant nrocedure on a biennial cvele results in the exnenditure of significant technical and administrative resources. Programmatic controls and nractices are in place to nrovide adeauate reviews. including.the following:
. The nlant modification nrocesses reouire that nrocedures affected by the modification be identified during the design change orenaration. and revised nrior to closure of the modification package.
- The Industry Exnerience Program involves the review ofindustry information for annlicabilit_v and the determination of further anlions. This review includes an evaluation of annlicable CY documents. such as nrocedures and the initiation of reauired changes.
. Administrative controls currentiv exist reauiring that if a nrocedure cannot be nerformedas i written. a nrocedure change must be comnleted orior to continuation of the procedure.
e Temnorary changes are occasionally generated during. or nrior to nrocedure use. Current administrative controls reauire that those changes that are nermanent shall be incornorated into the procedure via the nrocedure revision nrocess.
As nart of the audit and surveillance nrocess. nrocedures are evaluated as to adeauaev. ease of use. proner technical content. and comoliance with annlicable nians and nrograms.
e The Adverse Condition Resolution Program may reauire that a root cause analysis be nerfbrmed for some events. violations and nonconforming conditions. Where identified as contributing factors. nrocedure changes are initiated.
. Changes to Technical Snecifications and the FSAR are reviewed for notential imnact on. and initiation of changes to nlant nrocedures.
- Plant nrocedmes are annroved by annronriate personnel orior to initial use. Current administrative controls also reauire ore-iob briefings for nrocedures identified as infreauent.
