1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Plan Obiective The objectives of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PGandE) Quality Assurance Plan (Plan) for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 (HBPP-3) during SAFSTOR operation are:
a) To establish and fraplement a graded program that is based upon the appropriate criteria of 10CFR50, Appendix B and is commensurate with the limited SAFSTOR activities and required function of the HBPP-3 components, systems, and structures.
b) To meet the regulatory requirements for quality assurance programs as specified in 10CFR71,
" Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material", and in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Regulatory Guide 4.15 (December 1977), " Quality Assurance for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Normal Operations) - Effluent Streams and the Environment".
c) To assure compliance with the plant Technical Specifications.
1.2 Plan Scope ,
a) This Plan applies to the following HBPP-3 SAFSTOR activities:
Radiological monitoring of gaseous and liquid effluents and the environment.
- Packaging and transport of radioactive material.
- Implementing plant Technical Specifications.
b) This Plan applies to all personnel involved in the HBPP-3 SAFSTOR activities.
1.3 Plan Control The Manager Quality Assurance, shall be responsible to identify, prepare, submit for approval, and issue changes as are necessary to maintain the Plan current and in conformance with applicable regulatory requirements and PGandE commitments to the USNRC. Changes to the commitments contained herein shall be submitted to the USNRC in accordance with 10CFR50.54.
(Rev. 2)
2.0 ORGANIZATION PGandE's program for assuring the quality and safety of the decommissioning of HBPP-3 is organized in a structured manner with clearly defined levels ~of authority, assignments of responsibility, and lines of communication. Assignment of responsibility for an item or activity includes responsibility for its quality.
PGandE acknowledges full responsibility to its emplcyees,.
stockholders, the general public, and affected governmental regulatory agencies for the establishment and execution of this Plan. The work of executing selected portions of this Plan may be delegated to organizations external to PGandE; however, in all such instances PGandE retains overall responsibility.
Specific responsibilities pertaining to quality assurance matters are assigned to various individuals throughout the Company. In each instance, the assignment of a responsibility to an f
individual includes with it a commensurate delegation of sufficient authority that the person can, in fact, fulfill that responsibility. Unless otherwise specifically prohibited, it is understood that the functions, tasks, and activities necessary to implement a responsibility may be delegated to and performed by other qualified individuals.
Instances are documented in which authority is to be delegated or support services are to be provided.
That individual within PGandE who has been assigned a particular responsibility in this Plan is the only person within the Company who is authorized to perform the activities necessary to discharge that responsibility. Normally, the activities related .
to discharging that particular responsibility will be performed either by the person who has been assigned that responsibility or by personnel who are directly subordinate to and under the control of that person. However, circumstances may arise where it is considered either necessary or desirable to have such activities, or some portion of them, actually performed by someone else. In such cases, the assigning person retains responsibility.
Verification of conformance to established requirements is accomplished by individuals or groups within the Quality Assurance organization who do not have direct responsibility for performing the work being verified or by individuals or groups trained and qualified in quality assurance concepts and practices and independent of the performance of the task.
The persons and organizations performing quality assurance functions have direct access to management levels which assure the ability to identify quality problems, recommend or provide solutions through designated channels, and verify implementation of solutions.
(Rev. 2)
t They are sufficiently free from direct pressure for cost /
schedule.and have the responsibility to stop unsatisfactory work andLcontrol further processing, delivery, or installation of nonconforming material. (The organizational positions with stop l work authority are identified in the implementing procedures.)
