i The Supply System QA Program described in Section 17.1 is currently in effect for ongoing quality functions. Section 17.1 delineates in detail the intent and substance of the Supply System QA Program. The Supply System Program is based upon the Quality Classification as assigned to the structures, com-ponents, and systems in Tables 3.2-1 and 3.2-2. Structures, components, and systems are classified as Quality Class I, II Augmented, G Augmented, II and G
! in accordance with their design basis or functional requirements. The applic-able requirements of Appendix B to 10CFR50 are applied to those items classi-fied as Supply System Quality Class I due to their relationship to a nuclear safety function. Those items classified as Supply System Quality Class II Aupented, G Aupented, II or G are not safety related and are not subject to
} the requirements of Appendix B to 10CFR50. Supply System Quality Class II Aupented or G Augmented meet the applicable requirements of the NRC Branch Technical Positions for Radioactive Waste and Fire Protection Systems respec-tively. Supply System Quality Class II or G are required to meet applicable commercial standards. The Supply System quality assurance classifications are
] as follows:
, Quality Class I - Any nuclear structure, system, subassembly, component j or design characteristic that prevents or mitigates the consequences of a postulated accident that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. All safety-related items fall within this category.
The Supply System QA Program defines non-safety related items as follows:
l Quality Class II Augmented - The liquid radioactive waste system and those portions of the solid radioactive waste systems which contain ifquid waste.
l Quality Class G Augmented - Those portions of the fire protection system l protecting safety related equipment or protecting areas which contain potential fire hazards to safety related equipment.
17.1-9
WNP-1 PSAR Quality Class II - Any structure, system, subassembly, component or design characteristic which, as a result of being defective, could cause !
a safety hazard to plant personnel, an extended reduction in unit output, an unscheduled unit trip, or equipment damage.
Quality Class G - Any non-nuclear portion of the plant to which QA requirements are assigned in accordance with the consequance of failure and operating costs. If necessary, Quality Class G car, be upgraded to Quality Class II.
The Supply System Quality Assurance Program Manual contains the written policies and procedures structured from the requirements of ANSI N45.2-1971 and 10CFR50, Appendix B by which the Supply System performs its related quality assurance activities. A matrix of the Supply System QA Program proce-dures and the corresponding criteria of 10CFR50, Appendix B appears in the table below followed by description of the scope covered by these procedures.

WNP-1 i PSAR l To assure that Supply System personnel perfonning quality related activities !'
are knowledgeable of procedures and requirements, and will be proficient in implementing them, the Supply System Quality Assurance Training Program under coordination and direction of Corporate Licensing and Assurance is established ,
and documented as required by the applicable Supply System Quality Assurance !
Training Procedure and implementing instructions. This Training Program consists of:
I
- a. The initial fonnal training and orientation one receives as to the pur-pose, scope and implementation of applicable codes and standards, includ-ing 10CFR50 Appendix B. This initial training phase also includes specific detailed instruction on the Supply System QA procedures and instructions, project specific procedures and other activities which directly relate to the employee's job functions. Supply System super-visory personnel also indoctrinate and train personnel perfonning quality related activities in the principles and techniques of the activity being performed.
i
- b. on-going instruction by lecture, discussion, and pre-planned presenta-tions, supplemented by outside courses as deemed useful.
In addition to the training delineated above, Quality Assurance personnel will receive training to provide them with an understanding and appreciation of the management of an effective Quality Assurance program. QA personnel will receive orientation and indoctrination to position responsibilities, and to ap)11 cable codes and standards. This training may be augmented by both in1ouse training and attendance at appropriate industry sponsored training sessions, the extent of which will be determined by an evaluation of the prior QA experience and knowledge of the employee, and the comparative requirements of the current QA position. After this training has been completed, such individuals will be assigned initial work under the direction and guidance of qualified, experienced personnel (e.g., Lead Auditors) and will receive on-the-job training to establish and maintain proficiency.
The Supply System position on NRC Regulatory Guide requirements is stated in
! Section 3.12. These requirements are verified as being included in the design specification during the design review process described in Subsection 17.1.3.
The Supply System QA Program will comply with the requirements contained in 10CFR50, Appendix B, and will comply with the guidance contained in the Supply System positions (Section 3.12) for NRC Regulatory Guides, the NRC's Gray Book, " Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During Design and Procure-ment Phase of Nuclear Power Plants-Revision 1", and the NRC's Green Book,
" Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants".
The Supply System QA Program's scope, implementation, and effectiveness is audited by the Corporate Audit organization. Copies of all audit reports and correspondence are routinely routed to Supply System Project Management, and Project Quality Assurance so that management can regularly assess the effec-tiveness of the Quality Assurance Program.
17.1-15

17.1.3 Design Control The Supply System has organized, and is following, a system of design review and approval by QA, Engineering, Licensing, Operations, and Project Management .
of Supply System and UEAC generated procurement documents for Supply System l
. Quality Class I systems, structures, subassemblies, components and design
! characteristics. UE&C Engineering has been assigned the responsibility to review the remaining design contractor's procurement doctments.
i In all cases, prior to submittal to either the Supply System or UE8C for
. review and/or approval, the design contractors, including UEAC, are respon-1 sible for verifying that the design meets the requirements of the specifica-tion, is commensurate with good design practices and that the components can
- be readily inspected. This verification is achieved by the perfomance of design reviews, the use of alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. The verification or checking ,
process is performed by individuals or groups other than those who perfomed the original design. Where a test program is used to verify the adequacy of a specific design feature in lieu of other verification or checking processes, it includes suitable qualification testing of a prototype unit under the most i
adverse design conditions. Design control measures are applied to items such 4
as the following: reactor physics, stress, themal, hydraulic, radiation, and accident analyses; compatibility of material; accessibility for inservice
, inspection, maintenance, and repair; and the delineation of acceptance i
criteria for inspections and tests.
Supply System Project Engineering has the primary responsibility for the technical review and approval of Supply Systen and UEAC generated prepurchased equipment and construction specifications. Each discipline, mechanical, j electrical, nuclear, and civil reviews the specifications to assure they are
! technically adequate. The depth of this review is outlined in an engineering design review check list utilized by the reviewing engineer for each Supply System Quality Class I specification. The design review check list outlines a i

e WNP-1 PSAR 17.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE DURING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION UNITED ENGINEERS & CONSTRUC'IORS (ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING QA)
Scope: This section summarizes the Home Office, Site and Vendor Surveillance activities of the United Engineers and Constructors Quality Assurance Program as it pertains to the WNP-1 Project. UE&C Reliability and Quality Assurance Department has been assigned the responsibility by WPPSS to provide a quality assurance program which meets or exceeds 10CFR50, Appendix B and ANSI N45.2-1971 requirements. This section coordinates that portion of the total quality assurance program for the project with respect to the design, procurement and fabrication of WNP-1 equipment.
The terms " Vendor" and " Contractor" as used throughout this section are interchange-able because of the connotation that UE&C Vendor Surveillance activity will be conducted in the shops of " Vendors" and " Contractors". Except where indicated, the terms " Vendors" and Contractors" excludes the NSSS supplier whose quality assurance program is described in Section 17.3.
17.2.1 Organization 17.2.1.1 Engineering Function The UE&C Power Division, headed by the Vice President - Power, is responsible for the design and engineering of nuclear power plants. The Vice President - Power, assigns a project manager to lead the UE&C effort for the WNP-1 Project and supplies the engineering manpower required for its design.
The control of quality-related activities affecting the design and engineering, is performed in accordance with the Power Division procedures which are approved by the Vice President - Power and the Manager - R&QA (Reliability & Quality Assurance).
UE&C Power Division will perform their work in accordance with the procedures of the Power Division. Work performed by the Division is further controlled via compliance with detailed project engineering and QA proceduros, which is subject to audits performed by R&QA. A typical " Corporate Organization Chart" is shown in Figure 17.2-1.
17.2.1.2 Purchasing Function The Manager - Procurement reports to the Vice President - Administration and is responsible for procurement of equipment to requirements specified by the UE&C Power Division.
The procurement activity on this project provides for the commercial evaluation of all bid packages and includes Contract Administration and Expediting and is performed in accordance with good procurement practices written into the contract specifications. Contract Administration and Expediting performed by the Procurement Department is controlled through a system of audits by R&QA.
It is important to note that the Procurement Department cannot waive or change any Engineering or QA requirement or allow one to be changed without the prior approval of Power Engineering and R&QA.
17.2-1
WNP-1 PSAR 17.2.1.3 Quality Assurance Function The responsiblity for quality assurance within UE&C rests with the Vice President -
Administration. The Vice President - Administration is on an organizational level with the Vice President - Power and the Vice President - Construction, all reporting to the President as shown on the typical Corporate Organization Chart, Figure 17.2-1.
The Manager -
Reliability & Quality Assurance (R&QA) reports directly to the Vice President - Administration and has. been delegated full responsiblity for the total quality assurance activity within UE&C which includes the establishment, direction and management of the QA program on the project. The Manager - R&QA is also responsible for the final review and approval of the program and has sufficient authority and organizational freedom to:
a) Identify quality problems.
b) Initiate, recommend or provide solutions through designated channels, c) Verify implementation of solutions.
d) Control further processing or delivery cf nonconforming articles or deficient conditions until satisfactory dispositions are made.
A management statement by the UE&C Company President in the UE&C Corporate QA Manual, instructs all UE&C organization and personnel to adhere to the UE&C QA policies and procedures. A statement by the Manager R&QA and the Project Manager, in the project QA procedures manual, imposes a similar requirement to the responsible project disciplines and individuals. The Manager, R&QA reports to the Vice President - Administration as shown on the typical Corporation Organization Chart Figure 17.2-1 and supports the WNP-1 Project. In this way, the R&QA Department maintains a direct and separate communication channel to higher management which is not directly responsible for the design effort.
17.2-2 J

l WNP-1
, FSAR The qualification requirements imposed for the Manager R&QA are:
- 1. Education - A graduate engineer with a professional registration or eligible and capable of being registered.
- 2. Experience - A =hi=um of ten (10) years of quality assurance experience in the nuclear, heavy construction or heavy equipment industries. Minimum experience requirements may be reduced by:
- a. One year for each year of direct experience within the UEEC R&QA department.
- b. One year for each year of direct experience in quality assurance and control on a nuclear power, project.
- c. One year for each year of direct experience in nuclear power
. plant design engineering.
- d. One half year for each year of direct experience in nuclear
., power plant construction supervision or job engineering.
( Extensive previous experience in Reliability has allowed the Manager of Reliability and Quality Assurance to establish UE&C's department with a
. dual function. One objective of this dual function is to evaluate the state of the art (Reliability) in the Power Industry. The " Reliability" portion of the R&QA charter has been devoted to literature searching and study of reliability-oriented activities elsewhere in industry and in providing commiunication to the company on these activities. No employee of the function has any significant commiitments to support the Reliability function. It is estimated that more than 95% of REQA's activities are devoted to developing and implementing the quality assurance program responsive to 10CFR50, Appendix B and N45.2.

WNP-1 PSAR 17.2.10 Inspection The UEEC contract specifications require participating vendors and Contractors to provide for a controlled system of inspection of materials, parts, components and equipment associated with the WNP-1 project. Written Vendor or contractor procedures provide for this control of inspections to assure that the materials purchased are fabricated, tested and delivered in con-formance with specification and contract requirements. UE&C surveillance personnel will determine the accept or reject status of the work and, depend-ent upon vendor or Contractor response, pursue a course of action as defined in Subsections 17.2.15.8 and 17.2.16.6.
17.2.10.1 Personnel a) UESC, is not responsible for performing first level inspections.
However, UE&C R&QA Vendor Surveillance representatives will conduct surveillance activities within the scope of,the UE&C QA program associated with Vendor and Contractor inspections, examinations and other activities at the equipment suppliers plant. UE&C Vendor Surveillance personnel continually verify that the equipment vendor and contractor frrst level inspection capability is maintained at the high level required for the WNP-1 project.
Procedu'es for maintaining this high standard of inspection s, capability are developed by the appropriate Vendor or Contractor for review and approval by UE&C. UE&C R&QA Vendor Surveillance assures that Vendor and Contractor quality control departments continually monitor, through examinations, indoctrination programs and orientation and training, the proficiency and independence of their inspection personnel.
17.2.10.2 Equipment Supplier - In process inspection and surveillance a) The surveillance activities associated with the in-process shop inspections, tests and documentation for pre-purchased and Contractor purchased equipment are in accordance with UE&C Quality Assurance procedures which define in detail UE&C control of purchased items at the Vendor or Contractor plant.
b) UEEC surveillance requirements are outlined in the contract specifi-cation and sununarized as a surveillance check plan. This surveil-lance check plan is prepared by the UEEC WNP-1 Quality Assurance Engineer developed from the contract specification, and outlines the contract requirements for documentation, testing, inspection points, sampling plans, processing procedures, and receiving re-quirements for the applicable equipment. The check plan is used by the UE&C Vendor Surveillance representative as a check list guide for UE&C in-process and final surveillance inspection of the purchased equipment prior to delivery to the site. The shop inspections
(' designated are performed by the vendor or Contractor's personnel charged with the quality responsibility and these inspections are verified by UE&C Surveillance Representatives.
