2.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM l
n i
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.
It includes quality activities during the operation, maintenance and modification of the in-service nuclear power plants.
The requirements of the NUQAP apply, as a minimum, to nuclear safety-related systems, stru.etures and components as functionality j
identified in Appendix A, " 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 additionally apply to other quality programs as defined in Appendix G.
The requirements of the Program are implemented by Northeast Utilities (q
Service Company (NUSCO), Nuclear Plant Operating Companies (NUP0C),
l y
the engineer-constructor, contractors, suppliers and engineering service organizations performing activities affecting quality systems, structures and components of nuclear power plants.
Procedures define the required indoctrination and training of j
personnel performing activities affecting quality, as necessary, to e
assure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.
l Q
Training sessions are documented, the content described, who attended, when they attended and the results of the training l
sessions.
t 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 4
I Quality Assurance Program for which they have designated respon-sibility.

to verify the accuracy and completeness of design drawings and specifications before release to construction. Design drawings receive a documented check to verify dimensional accuracy.
Design drawings and specifications issued for plant design changes during the operations phase of an in-service nuclear plant are reviewed for completeness and accuracy before release to operations in accordance with NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures.
Drawings are reviewed for accuracy and completeness in accordance with NUSC0/NUPOC Procedures defining Document Control.
NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures describe the provisions to assure that design drawings and specifications 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 Design Change Control Procedures and instructions governing design change
/'N control during construction, modifications to operating 5,)
plants, control of discrepant or deficient design condi-tions, and reported unsatisfactory performance, provide s
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.
An independent review and approval of design changes is performed by the organization that conducted the original design reviews, unless NUSCO/NUPOC designates another a
qualified organization to perform this function.
Proposed 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).
PORC/SCRC l
is advisory to the appropriate NUPOC Superintendents on matters relating to nuclear safety.
Its composition, l
responsibilities, and authority are defined in Section 6 of each in-service unit Technical Specification. NUPOC QA personnel can be represented at the PORC/SORC Committees if assigned by the appropriate NUPOC Unit Superintendent.

i Reviews of I
the design change requests are performed by the Nuclear
(}
Review Board / Environmental Review Board on safety evaluations /'
(._/
environmental questions.
1 The sequence of the NRB review depends upon the determination of whether an unreviewed safety question is involved.
(i.e., in accordance with ANSI N1F.7, if a proposed change in the facility involves an unreviewed safety question then the NRB review is conducted prior to implementation.)
The combination of these independent reviews by the PORC/SORC and NRB/ ERB are performed to assure that:
the adequacy of the proposed change is determined; a.
b.
unreviewed safety / environmental questions are pro-i perly identified and handled per 10 CFR 50.59; nuclear safety / environmental requirements have been c.
considered.
Errors and deficiencies in design, including the design process, that could adversely affect quality structures, systems, and components are documented and corrective action is taken to preclode repetition.

'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 inst ructions.
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 j
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/NUPOC, 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.
ATSC0/hTPOC 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 i
equipment, or prior to the point when the installation l
is declared operational.
j 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 j
proper design verification or checking method.
Procedures

t NUSCO/NUPOC Procedures include requirements which identify
!,g s) 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 established for design documents that reflect the commit-ments of the SAR. These procedural controls vary for design documents which receive formal design verification by several disciplines or organizations, and those which can be reviewed by a single individual. The specific design documents and specialized reviews are determined and used as required by the design changes and modifications.
f NUSC0/KUPOC Procedures are established to assure that verified computer codes are certified for a specific use.
During the design and construction phases, the NUSCO Project Engineer maintains the ultimate responsibility for the design documents generated by the engineer-construc-tor, NSSS supplier and other NUSCO departments. The evaluation of selected documents by project engineers may be accomplished with assistance from other NUSCO depart-ments concerned with the equipment / subject covered by the document being evaluated.

8.0 IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL OF f1ATERIALS, PARTS AND C0rlPUNENTS l
8.1 GENERAL REQUIREffENTS l
NUSCO/NUPOC organizations assure that the identification of i
inspections, tests, and operatina status of structures, systems, and components is known by affected organizations.
l The hTQAP provides measures for the identification and control of material, parts and components, including partially fabricated j
assemblies, during design, construction, preoperational testing, operation, maintenance and major modifications thereto.
To ensure that each item can be traced to associated documentation, the identification of the item is maintained by heat number, lot number, part number, serial number, or other appropriate methods, and is l
physically marked on the item and/or on records traceable to the item.
Documentation, associated with material, equipment, and components verify that these items have been designed, fabricated, manufactured, tested, and inspected in accordance with specified requirements.
The object of these controls is to prevent the use of incorrect or defective material, parts and components, in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
8.2 IrlPLEr1ENTATION hTSCO/hTPOC Procedures establish the responsibilities and require-l (O) ments for the identification and control of materials, parts and components.
The procedures assure that identification and control l
is maintained throughout fabrication, receipt, handling, storage and l
installation of items.
Provisions include:
1 a.
Requirements for traceability to appropriate documentation such as: procurement documents, manufacturing documents, drawings, specifications, certifications, inspection and test records, and nonconformance reports.
b.
