2.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM 2.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Northeast Utilities (NU) has established a Quality Assurance Program (NUQAP) which complies with the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and follows the guidance referred to in Appendix D of this report.

The quality assurance requirements set forth herein and the attached Policy Statement, supplemented by the Quality Assurance Procedures, provide the primary basis of the Program and the NU Policy with regard to quality assurance. This Program is established for each plant site in a manner intended to accomplish the required level of quality and is carried out throughout the life of nuclear power plants. This includes quality related activities initiated prior to submittal of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR), such as design and procurement, preparation of the PSAR, and safety related site preparation construction activities. It also includes quality related activicies during the operation, maintenance and modifica-tion of the in-service nuclear power plants.

The requirements of the NUQAP apply, as a minimum, to nuclear safety related systems, structures and components as functionally identified in Appendix A, " Category I Systems, Structures and Components", and other items or services which are specifically identified in each FSAR/FDSA addressing Section 3.2.1 of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.70.

The requirements of the Program are implemented by Northeast Utili-ties Service Company (NUSCO), Nuclear Plant Operating Companies (NUPOC), the engineer-constructor, contrar. tors, suppliers and engineering service organizations performing activities affect-ing the quality of safety related systems, structures and components of nuclear power plants.

Procedures define the required indoctrination and training of personnel performing activities affecting quality, as necessary, to assure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.

Training sessions are documented, the content described, who attended, when they attended and the results of the training sessions.

A periodic program review of the status and adequacy of the NUQAP is accomplished by NUSCO Quality Assurance audits, by Nuclear Review Board (NRB) Reviews, and by the independent audit team described herein and in QAP 1.0, Section 1.2.4.2. Organizations outside NU are required to review the status and adequacy of that  ;

part of the Quality Assurance Program for which they have designated responsibility.

2.2 IMPLEMENTATION 2.2.1 Goals and Objectives As stated in the Policy Statement of NU, the goals of the NUQAP are to maintain quality. levels in an effective and efficient manner and to assure a high degree of functional integrity and reliability of nuclear safety related

-systems, structures and components. To meet this goal, the following objectives of the NUQAP have been defined:

a. Define through documented procedures, the quality activities.that apply to the design, fabrication, ,

procurement, construction, testing, operation, refueling, maintenance, repair and modification of nuclear power plants;

b. Establish, assign and document the responsibilities for the conduct of those activities affecting quality of.the safety related systems, structures and compo-nents;

c. Establish confidence that (a) the design, fabrication, construction and operation of nuclear-power generation facilities are performed in a manner consistent with NU-Policies and (b) quality related' activities are performed by responsible personnel,.through a system of audits of those organizations with quality related responsibilities;

d. Appraise the Senior Vice President, Nuclear Engineering .

.and Operations of quality related unresolved problems and trends which could have a significant effect on nuclear power plant safety and;

e. Prevent schedule delays and high cost due to poor-quality.

2.2.2 Program Documentation This NUQAP Topical Report defines the NU nuclear policies, goals and objectives, and is used as guidance for the development of~the various. implementing divisional, departmental, branch, or section procedures. Revisions to

.the NUQAP Topical Report will be made as needed to reflect current requirements and descriptions of activities prior to (

implementation. These revisions will be made in accordance- '

with a Nuclear Engineering and Operations Group Procedure.

QAP 2.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 2 of 7

Revisions to the NUQAP Topical Report, which reduce commit-ments previously accepted by the NRC, are submitted to the NRC for review and approval prior to implementation.

Revisions which do not reduce previously accepted commitments are periodically submitted to the NRC as required by 10CFR50.54(a)(3) and 10CFR50.55(f)(3).

Quality procedures are developed by the departments performing quality related activities.

These procedures are reviewed by the departments which are responsible for portions of these procedures. These procedures are approved by the departments which initiate these procedures and are reviewed and concurred with by the applicable NUSC0/NUPOC Quality Assurance Organization for compliance with the NUQAP Topical Report. Changes to procedures are subjected to the same degree of control as that utilized in the preparation of the original document.

Each NUSCO Department Head /NUPOC Superintendent is responsible for implementation of the NUQAP, which includes individual departmental procedure requirements applicable only to his respective activities. In addition, he is responsible for the preparation, approval and distribution of those instructions, operating procedures, testing procedures or other instructions where further guidance is necessary.

2.2.3 Systems, Structures and Components The requirements of the NUQAP Topical Report shall apply, as a minimum, to nuclear safety related systems, structures and components, as addressed in the Safety Analysis Reports (SAR). Safety related systems, structures and components are functionally identified in Appendix A of the NUQAP Topical Report and also as specifically identi-fied in each FSAR/FDSA addressing Section 3.2.1 of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.70.

For systems, components, and structures; covered by the ASME Code,Section III; NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures describe the measures taken to assure that the Quality Assurance requirements, contained in the code, are supplemented by the specific guidance of the applicable regulatory guides listed in Appendix D of this Topical Report.

The degree of control over activities affecting the quality of safety related systems, structures and compon-ents is consistent with their importance to safety. Such controls include use of appropriate equipment, establish-ment of suitable environmental conditions and assurance that all prerequisites for a given activity have been QAP 2.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 3 of 7

satisfied. This NUQAP Topical Report provides for controls over special processes and skills necessary to attain the required quality, and the need for verification of quality by inspection and test.

NUSC0/NUPOC Quality Assurance organizations and applicable NUSC0/NUPOC technical organizations jointly determine and identify the extent Quality Assurance controls are to be applied to safety-related structures, systems, and. components, designated as Category I in Appendix A and in implementing NUSCO/NUP0C Procedures. The Quality Assurance controls are in conformance with this NUQAP Topical Report, which complies with the 18 criteria set forth in Appendix B to 10CFR Part 50.

2.2.4 Participating Organizations The NU organizations with responsibilities for activities affecting quality of nuclear safety related systems, structures and components are identified in QAP 1.0, which also briefly describes their assigned responsibilities.

NUSCO Quality Assurance is responsible for: a) the development, coordination, and control of the NUQAP including coordination of NUSCO Quality Assurance Branch Procedure review and approval; b) control and issuance of the NUQAP Topical Report as a controlled document (as described in QAP 6.0) and; c) review and concurrence with quality related procedures and revisions written by other departments. Procedure reviews will be performed in accordance with QAP 5.0.

NU shall require that their Engineer-Constructor, Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS), Suppliers, Engineering Service Organizations and contractors shall invoke upon their subcontractors, via procurement documents, requirements for a quality assurance program to meet the applicable criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR, Part 50, including the applicable elements of the Regulatory Guides and their endorsed Standards identified in Appendix D of the Topical Report. However, NU retains overall responsibility for the QA Program. The specific quality related activities performed by these organizations are specified in the procurement documents. NUSCO Quality Assurance reviews and approves these organization's quality assurance programs prior to initiation of contracted activities, and audits subsequent activities for compliance to their procedures.

QAP 2.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 4 of 7

The object of the review is to verify that the engineer-constructor, contractors, suppliers and engineering service organizations have an adequate quality assurance program to meet the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR, Part 50.

In addition to the initial review, the engineer-construc-tor, contractors, suppliers and engineering service organizations quality assurance programs shall be periodi-cally audited by NUSCO/NUPOC Quality Assurance to assure continued implementation of quality requirements.

After system construction by the engineer-constructor and system turnover to NUPOC, the program will fall under the requirements of the NUQAP. A formal test program is prepared to provide assurance that all systems and equipment function in accordance with design specifications.

The formal test program is described in a startup test manual which describes the administrative organization and procedure which will be followed, during the phaseout of design and construction, preoperational testing and plant turnover. It demonstrates control of quality related activities including management and technical interfaces among the engineer constructor, NSSS Supplier, NUSCO, and NUPOC.

During operation, contractors may be delegated the execu-tion of quality assurance functions by contract. These contracts are reviewed and approved in accordance with NU QAP requirements.

2.2.5 Indoctrination and Training A program is established and maintained for quality assurance indoctrination and training which provides confidence-that the required level of personnel competence and skill is achieved and maintained in the performance of quality related activities. Quality procedures delineate the requirements for an indoctrination program to assure that personnel responsible for performing quality activi-ties are instructed in the purpose, scope and implementa-tion of quality related procedures and instructions and that compliance to these documents is mandatory. The NUSCO Manager, Quality Assurance is responsible for the indoctrination of personnel within his department who perform quality related activities.

Nuclear training programs shall be developed and implemented to provide training for all individuals attached to or associated with NU nuclear facilities.

S 3.0 DESIGN CONTROL 3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The NUSC0/NUPOC is responsible for controlling design work, administering design control activities (including design interface) and design modifications for nuclear safety related systems, structures and components defined in the " Category I Systems, Structures and Components List" (Appendix A).

The NUQAP for design 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 review for suitability of application of materials, equipment, parts and processes that are essential to the safety related functions of the systems, structures and components. Changes to and deviations from specified requirements are identified, documented and controlled.

i NUSCO has the ultimate responsibility for design control program implementation for plants presently under construction and for proposed plants. NUPOC has the responsibility for design control program Laplementation for operating plants unless they elect to appoint NUSCO to perform a modification. NUSCO and NUPOC may delegate to other organizations the work of establishing and executing the design control program or any part thereof, but retain J

the ultimate responsibility, for the program.

, The interface controls, both internal and external, for organiza-tions performing design work for safety related systems, structures and components are identified and implemented in accordance with documented procedures. This identification includes those organi-zations providing criteria, designs, specifications and technical direction.

Measures are applied to verify the adequacy of design. The extent of design verification is specified and documented by the respon-sible organization. The individuals performing design verification should not (1) have immediate supervisory responsibility for the individual performing the design, (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. The independent design verification should not dilute or replace the responsiblity of the supervisors for the quality of work performed under their supervision. Where changes to 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. Design verificati>n may be QAP 3.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 1 of 6

_g a. _.

accomplished by testing. Tests to demonstrate adequacy under adverse design conditions shall comply with the requirements of QAP 11.0, " Test-Control". Design errors and deficiencies which ad-versely affect safety related systems, structures and components in the 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 15.0.

3.2 IMPLEMENTATION NUSCO/NUPOC is responsible for the design, design review, engineering approval of design changes, design evaluation and design control of nuclear power plants. The function may be delegated to other organizations to perform the design activity, or any part thereof, but the responsibility for overall design remains with NUSCO/NUPOC. In all cases, final engineering decisions and ultimate design control of systems, structures and components related to nuclear power plants is the responsibility of NUSCO/NUPOC.

NUSCO/NUPOC Quality Assurance performs audits /surveillances/inspec-tions to verify that the engineer-constructor, contractors, suppliers, engineering service organizations and NU departments are effectively complying with the NUQAP and procedural requirements for design control.

3.2.1 Design Process Design control measures are applied to design analyses, such as, reactor physics, stress, thermal, hydraulic, nuclear radiation, accident and seismic analyses; compat-ibility of materials; accessibility for in-service inspec-tion, maintenance, and repair; and delineation of accept-ance criteria for inspections and tests. Measures estab-lished to control design documents are described in QAP 6.0.

Program procedures and instructions define the method for implementing design control measures. These measures require that applicable design requirements, such as, design bases, regulatory requirements, codes and stand-ards, are translated into specifications, drawings, procedures or instructions. Instructions further require that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents. All materials, equipment, parts and processes, including standard "off the shelf" commercial or previously approved items essential to the safety related functions, are selected and reviewed for suitability of application. The basis for selection may include industry standards, material and prototype hard-ware testing programs, and design reviews.

QAP 3.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 2 of 6

NUSCO Procedures assure that a documented check '.s

[ performed to verify the accuracy and.completene.s of design drawings and specifications before relest e to construction. Design drawings receive a documented check to verify dimensional accuracy.

4 1, Design drawings and specifications issued for plant design 2

changes during the operations phase of an in-service nuclear plant are reviewed for completeness and accuracy

- before release to operations in accordance with NUSC0/NUPOC Procedures. Drawings are reviewed for-accuracy and completeness in accordance with NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures defining Document Control.

NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures describe the provisions to assure that specifications are reviewed by NUSCO/NUPOC Quality Assurance to verify that the documents are prepared, reviewed and approved in accordance with company procedures, and that the documents contain the necessary Quality Assurance requirements, such as inspection and test' requirements, acceptance requirements, and the extent of documenting inspection and test results.

, 3.2.2 Desian Change Control Procedures and instructions governing design change control during construction, modifications to operating plants, control of discrepant or deficient design condi-  :

tions, and reported unsatisfactory performance, provide for the identification of-the need for 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 the '

. original design.

2 Prior to receipt of an operating license, an independent review and approval of design changes is performed by the organization that conducted the original design reviews, i- unless NUSCO/NUPOC designates another qualified organization to perform this function.

Subsequent to receipt of an operating license, proposed safety related design change / modifications are submitted to the in-service units management for processing and review. This review includes the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC)/ Site Operations Review Committee (SORC).

POPC/SORC is advisory to the appropriate NUPOC Superin-tendents on matters relating to nuclear safety. Its composition, responsibilities, and authority are defined in Section 6 of each in-service unit Technical Specifica-tion. NUPOC QA personnel can be represented at the QAP 3.0 j

Rev.: 8 ,

Date: l Page 3 of 6

PORC/SORC Committees if assigned by the appropriate NUPOC Unit Superintendent. If the change involves a Category I, system, structure or component, the change will be re-viewed by< qualified engineering personnel for technical ,

adequacy. Reviews of the design change requests are per-formed by'the Nuclear Review Board / Environmental Review Board on safety evaluations / environmental questions. The sequence of the NRB review depends upon the determination of whether an unreviewed safety question is involved.

(i.e., in.accordance with ANSI N18.7, if a proposed change in the facility involves an unre, viewed safety question then the NRB review is conducted prior to implementation.) j The combination of these independent reviews by the PORC/SORC and NRB/ ERB are performed to assure that:

a. the adequacy of the proposed change is determined;

b. unreviewed safety / environmental questions are pro-perly identified and handled per 10 CFR 50.59;

c. nuclear safety / environmental requirements have been considered.

Errors and deficiencies in design, including the design process, that could adversely affect safety-related structures, systems, and components are documented and corrective action is taken to preclude repetition.

During the operations phase, notification of plant design changes are transmitted to responsible plant personnel as part of the design package close out. NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures describe this notification which assures that personnel are made aware of design changes / modifications which may affect the performance of their duties.

3.2.3 Design Interface Control During design, construction or modifications of nuclear power plants, the Nuclear Engineering and Operations Group is responsible for review, coordination and documentation '

of design interfaces. Procedures provide the method for identification of design interfaces, design interface changes, and modifications affecting drawings and design documents.

During plant design and construction phases, control of interfaces may be delegated to the engineer-constructor and/or the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) supplier.

QAP 3.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 4 of 6

During the operations phase, procedures and instructions ,

identify design interfaces which are controlled by the appropriate NUPOC Superintendent. Resolution of design interface questions are documented.

3.2.4 Independent Design Verification Original designs and design modifications are reviewed for adequacy and the sign-off performed by a person other than the originator of the design. Design verification is documented in accordance with procedures or instructions.

Simplified calculations or computer models/ codes may be utilized as alternate means of design verification. When design verification is performed by testing, the tests are performed using approved procedures, which specify the authority and responsibility of design verification personnel. Ultimate responsibility for design adequacy and evaluation is retained by NUSCO/NUP0C, as appropriate.

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.

NUSCO/NUPOC 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 verification should be by test,

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.

c. Verification by test is performed under conditions that simulate the most adverse conditions as determined by analysis.

Particular emphasis is placed on assuring that designs are in conformance 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 QAF 3.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

controlled, and-verification that there is adequate accessibility for inspection or test, and that inspection and test acceptance criteria are incorporated. During the operations phase, documentation of reviews is provided.

NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures include requirements which identify

' the responsibility of design verifiers, the areas and features to be verified, and the extent of the documentation. .

NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures assure that procedural control is I established for design documents that reflect the commitments of the SAR. These procedural controls vary

' for design documents which receive formal design verfication by several disciplines or organizations, and those which can be reviewed by a single individual. The specific design documents and r.pecialized reviews are determined and used as required-by the design changes and modifications.

4.0 PROCUREMENT DOCUMENT CONTROL 4.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The procurement of materials, equipment, parts and/or services required during the design, construction, operation and maintenance of Category I systems, structures and components in nuclear power plants is performed in a controlled manner which assures compliance.

with applicable regulatory requirements, procedures, quality assur-ance standards and regulations affecting procurement documents.

Changes to procurement documents are subject to the same degree of control as utilized in the preparation of the original documents.

4.2 IMPLEMENTATION 4.2.1 Program

~

A Nuclear Project Manager and a Nuclear Project Engineer is selected and a Project Team is formed for each new nuclear power plant project (i.e. , Millstone Unit 3). The NUSCO Nuclear Project Engineer by procedure coordinates the preparation, review and approval and control of NUSCO procurement documents for Category I material, equipment, parts or services. The review and approval cycle of procurement documents initiated by NUSCO includes: the appropriate NUSCO department for technical adequacy; NUSCO Quality Assurance for inclusion of quality assurance requirements, and the Nuclear Project Manager.

A Project Manager and a Project Engineer are selected for each major modification to an in-service nuclear power plant. The project engineer coordinates the preparation, review and approval of procurement documents for Category I material, equipment, parts or services, and ensures the technical adequacy and inclusion of quality assurance requirements.

During the operations phase of nuclear power plants, NUSCO/NUPOC Purchase Requisitions are reviewed for technical adequacy and verification of the Category I designation.

The appropriate NUSCO Project Engineer /NUPOC Superintendent reviews and approves Category I NUSCO/NUPOC Purchase Requisitions. NUSCO quality assurance personnel then review the purchase requisition, for the inclusion and adequacy of quality assurance requirements, prior to the issuance of the purchase order.

During design, construction, preoperational testing and operation of nuclear power plants, and modifications thereto, the engineer-constructor, contractors, suppliers QAP 4.0 Rev.: 8 Date:

Page 1 of 4

and engineering service organizations utilized by NUSCO/NUPOC are responsible to implement measures for control of procurement documents associated with Category I material, equipment, parts and services to ensure applicable requirements including quality assurance requirements are specified.

NUSCO Quality Assurance performs on and off-site audits /surve-illances/ inspections to ensure organizations utilized by NUSCO/NUPOC are effectively complying with their requirements

. for the control of procurement documents. '
