4.3.
Quality Assurance Proaram Reauirement Soecification QA requirements are invoked on items or services by procurement documents. QA Specification 09 1212 is a D&W standard document that addresses the 18 criteria of l01 10CFR50, Appendia D, and requires the suppliers of safety related items or services to organize, plan, establish, implement, and maintain systems using written procedures to control product qual?ty. This specification includes all elements of the manufacturing process and the administrative functions necessary to ensure that the items conform to the NPD requirements. Non safety related materials and services are procured to the requirements of the procurement document. In some instances the QA Specification 09 1212, although not specifically required,is invoked on non safety related items.
The procurement package identifies the paragraphs of the QA specification applicable to the line item for procurement of SFilLWS products and other materials and services. Suppliers, including the CNFP, are responsible for the QA requirements necessary to meet the quality requirements, either through imposition on vendors, or by fulfilling the requirements directly.

15 CONTROL OF NON CONFORhilNG iTEhtS 01 15.2.4. Desien Deficiency Recoru Design Deficiency Reports (DDR) are issued to document any meaningful deficiency (as determined by the Technical hfanager) discovered in any released NPD prepared design input / output document. The DDR defines the action to correct the error and ary subsequent corrective action.
15.3. Sucolier Non conformance Suppliers non conformance reports are initiated in one of two ways: (1) by the supplier due to a contract variation that violates the requirements of the B&W Fuel Co. procurement documents, specifications, or approved supplier drawings and procedures (CVAR); (2) by NPD QA as a result of findings during auditing of the supplier's QA system (AF).
15.3.1. Contrac* Variation Acoroval Reauest (CV@
The CVAR is a controlled document used to approve or disapprove the disposition of those (nv) items identified by the supplier as not being in compliance with the technical requirements of the procurement package or B&W Fuel Co. approved supplier documents. CVARs are e,ssigned a controlled number and are processed for approval in accordance with procedures.
15.3.2. Audit Finding An audit finding (AF) for supplier audits is prepared and processed in accordance with procedures. All findings are discussed and explained to audit participants. A copy of the AF is left with the supplier and followed up with a formal audit report.
15.4 Site Problems SFilLWS Project hianagers are responsible for resolving site problems. Site problems are handled in accordance with established procedures. For example, the repair plan for damaged components is prepared by SFilLWS or its support engineering organization, forwarded to the organization responsit.lc. for the repair, who then repairs the components and certifies its work to be in accordarice with the repair plan. The Project hianager is responsibic for tracking and expediting the repair.

16 CORRECTIVE ACTION 01 16.1. General Conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and items, and non conformances, are promptly identified and corrected.
Measures have been established to assure that:
a.
Each identified problem is evaluated sufficiently to determine the cause, b.
A remedy is defined as soon as practical.
c.
Actions are defined to prevent recurrence of the quality non conformance, d.
Follow up ection is taken to verify implementation of this corrective action.
c.
If the cause of the deficiency is a random event (operator error) remedial action is g
- applied, f.
The resolutions recommended to correct the deficiency are adequate and will fulfill the requirements of the QA program.
If it is determined that action has not been initiated to determine the "root' cause of the problem and corrected to preclude recurrence, the NPD or SFHLWS QA Representative will issue a Corrective Action Request (CAR) for appropriate action. NPD or B&W Fuel Co. QA follows up to verify the effectiveness of the corrective action taken. In addition, corrective action meetings are conducted with the supplier to review deviations. Appropriate action is assigned during these meetings to resolve outstanding items.
16.2. Internal Corrective ActioD1 NPD or B&W Fuel Co. QA furnishes deficiency reports to appropriate levels of management and requests corrective action where necessary.
l Deficiencies disclosed by internal, customer or agency audits require corrective action to preclude recurrence of the noted deficiencies. The proper application of corrective action is evaluated by follow up audits by the auditing agency that performed the initial audit.

16 CORRECTIVE ACTION 01 16.3. Sucolier Corrective Actions The need for supplier corrective action is identified as a result of QA audits and engineering review of process and material deviations. Procurement documents impose corrective action requirements to ensure resolution in a manner acceptable to Quality Assura nce. NPD QA audits are used to monitor the suppliers performance to determine if corrective actions comply with the requirements of the procurement documents.
The timely accomplishment of appropriate supplier corrective action is ensured through actions described in estabHshed procedures covering the use of IDRs restraint orders, and A Fs. Sub contractor restraints are imposed by or through the first tier suppliers.
16.4. Field Channe If corrective action requires a change to the design of items located at the plant site, a Field Change Authorization is initiated to implement, or to recommend implementation of the change. For details see referenced procedures, b
16.5. Corrective Action Record Each of the processes noted above includes requirements for generating and documenting corrective action. NPD or D&W Fuel Co. QA reviews these documents to monitor corrective actions and maintains files to record their status.
