, SECTION 2
.g C) QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM 2.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF QA PROGR AM 2.1.1 Georgia Power Company The Georgia Power Company Quality Assurance Program has been continuously updated and refined since May 21, 1969, when the Program was formally imple-mented for Plant Hatch by the GPC Senior Vice President. When the decision was made to build Plant Vogtle (VECP), the authority, policies, organizational arrangement, and procedures of the GPC QA program, based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, were firmly established.
The VEGP QA Program complies with:
A. Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,10 CFR 50, Appendix B.-
B. USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.28 (Formerly Safety Guide 28), Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Design & Construction).
C. USNRC Re (Operation)gulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements D. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Nuclear Power Plant Components The VEGP QA Program policy is approved by the GPC Senior Executive Vice President (see authority page). The implementing requirements and management 7s control for the Pregram is defined by the GMQA in conjunction with the Project
(') l Director and General Manager - Vogtle Nuclear Operations (GMVNO). These requirements and controls are outlined in this manual which is approved by the l GMQA, Project Director, and GMYNo.
2.1.2 Major Contractors The selection of the major contractors for the VEGP is based, in part, on the knowledge of the existence of satisfactory QA programs. The quality assurance programs of SCS, Bechtel, and Westinghouse have been reviewed and concurred .
with by the VQAM. The QA review and approval of the major contractors' QA i programs and changes thereto verifles that the programs satisfy the require- I ments set forth herein. Appendix A lists the major site contractors and refer-ences to their respective QA program manuals. {
j i
2.2 VEGP QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL (QAM) AUTHORITY '
The VEGP QAM is employed to implement the QA program for the Vogtle l Electric Generating Plant. This manual applies to the design, construction, preoperational testing, and operating phases of the VEGP and sets forth the requirements for the QA programs of GPC and its contractors. Where conflicts i occur between this manual and a contractor's QA manual, the VEGP QAM shall '
govern until such time as the conflict can be resolved. Section 17.1 of the VEGP Final Safety Analysis Report also outlines the requirements for the VEGP QA program during design, construction, and preoperational testing. Section 17.2 of the VEGP Final Safety Analysis Report describes the Operations QA program.
The VEGP QAM has been issued to members of GPC and VEGP project manage-ment and to responsible individuals representing the major contractors for the OV VEGP. This manual and changes thereto are issued and controlled in accordance with GPC QA Department Procedure QA-04-01.
VEGP QAM REY.10 2-1
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ - _ _ ~
(~3 2.3 QA PROGRAM APPLICABILITY
() The VEGP QA Program is applicable to the design, construction, preoperational testing, operation, maintenance and modification of structures, systems and components whose satisfactory performance is required to prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The applicable structures, systems and compo-nents are identified in Section 17.3 and in Table 3.2.2-1 of the VEGP Final Safety Analysis Report.
The QA program may be applied to other structures, systems, and components of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant when so recommended by the responsible design agency and approved by GPC.
2.4 QA PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION The VEGP QA Program, from the standpoint of authority, organizational arrangements, policies, and requirements, is defined in this manual. Detailed implementing procedures are referenced throughout the text and listed at the end of each section. Detailed procedures are prepared, approved, and controlled by the organization responsible for their implementation. In addition, the VQAM or QASM approve GPC Construction Field Procedures involving quality-related activities and participate in the development process for Nuclear Operations general engineering and administrative procedures for plant operations.
Contractors performing work on safety-related items are required to work under an approved QA program commensurate with the activity to be performed. For equipment, material, and/or services procured by GPC from Bechtel-prepared (nv) specifications, the suppliers' quality assurance program is reviewed and accepted by Bechtel. For materials and/or services procured from Bechtel-prepared specifications and recommendations requiring the contractor to perform work on site, the suppliers' quality assurance program is reviewed and accepted by the VQAM or QASM prior to start of work. The quality assurance programs of site contractors are evaluated and approved in accordance with GPC QA Department Procedure QA-04-06.
Suppliers providing operating, maintenance, modification, testing, or inspection ,
services to the operating plant either utilize approved GPC plant procedures or i the suppliers own procedures which have received review and approval commen-surate with that of comparable CPC plant procedures.
All applicable USNRC Regulatory Guides and ANSI Standards have been con-suited and considered by QA program participants for implementation through detailed procedures. The VEGP QA Program is structured in accordance with the documents referenced below. In instances where full compliance cannot be attained, acceptable alternatives are utilized. Inability to comply with any of the requirements in these documents is recorded and submitted to prescribed i management levels for resolution. Section 1.9 of the VEGP Final Safety Analysis j Report clarifies the VEGP commitment position relative to USNRC Regulatory ]
