Attachment 1 Proposed Changes to the RSQM Based on 10 CFR 72.140(d), 10 CFR 71.106 (a)(1) and NRC Information Notice 2002-35: Changes To 10 CFR Parts 71 and 72 Quality Assurance Programs, the following changes to the RSQM require prior NRC approval:
- 1. Quality Assurance Policy Item Ill is being revised to reflect the change in the executive delegating the responsibility and authority for developing and executing the Quality Assurance Policy to the Director, Power Generation.
The Chief Zero Carbon Officer is the new executive who makes this delegation, replacing the Chief Energy Delivery Officer.
- 2. Criterion I, Section 4.1 is being changed to reflect a position title change in the Chief Executive with corporate responsibility for overall safe operation of the Rancho Seco Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The title changed from General Manager to Chief Executive Officer & General Manager.
- 3. Criterion I, Section 4.1 is being changed to reflect the change in the executive with corporate responsibility for overall safe operation of the Rancho Seco Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The Chief Zero Carbon Officer is the new executive with this responsibility. A clarification is also added that the Director, Power Generation (to whom the Manager, Rancho Seco Assets reports) reports to the Chief Zero Carbon Officer.
The Chief Zero Carbon Officer is the new executive designated by the Chief Executive Officer & General Manager (CEO & GM) to have corporate responsibility for overall safe operation of the Rancho Seco ISFSI and to take any measures needed to ensure acceptable performance of the staff in providing long term monitoring of the spent fuel. The Chief Zero Carbon Officer is an executive of equivalent level as the Chief Energy Delivery Officer in the current Rancho Seco Quality Assurance Program, reports directly to SMUD's CEO & GM, and has sufficient authority to fulfill the responsibilities assigned by the CEO & GM.
These changes do not represent a reduction in commitment in the Rancho Seco Quality Assurance Program. The changes simply modify position titles to align with the 2021 SMUD organizational re-alignment.
Attachment 2 Proposed RSQM, Revision 5

With regard to Section 2.4 of Supplement 17S-1 titled Index: The phrase "an index" is clarified to mean* a collection of documents or indices which, when taken together, supplithe information attribut~_q to "an index" in the standard.
The specific location of a record "within a storage area" may not be delineated (e.g., the specific location within a computer record file may not be constant; further, SMUD may utilize a computer assisted random access filing system where such location could not be readily "documented," or would such a location be "relevant.")

. ,Attachment 11-'3 EXCEPTION EXCEPTION: Regulatory Guide 1.28/NQA-1, Supplement 17S-1 SMUD complies with the recommendations of this regulatory guide with the following clarifications:
With regard to Section 2.4 of Supplement 17S-1 titled Index: The phrase "an index"is clarified to rnean a collection of documents or indices which, when taken together, supplythe'information attributed to "an index" in the standard.
The specific location of a record "within a storage area" may not be delineated (e.g., the specific location within a computer record file may not be constant; further, SMUD may utilize a computer assisted random access filing system where such location could not be readily "documented," or would such a location be "relevant.") The storage location will be delineated, but where file locations change with time, the specific location of a record within that file may not always be documented. * *
- With regard to Section 4.3, Supplement 17S-1 titled Safekeeping: Routine general office and nuclear site security systems and access controls are provided: No special security systems are required to be established for record storage areas.
With regard to Section 4.4, Supplement 17S-1, titled Facility: This Section provides no*distinction between temporary and permanent facilities. To cover temporary storage, the following clarification is added: "Records completed but not yet transferred for permanent storage may be temporarily stored in one-hour fire rated file cabinets. In general, records shall not be maintained in such
- temporary storage for more than four months after completion without being microfilmed or placed in permanent storage. *Open-ended documents revised or updated on a more-or-less continuing basis over an extended period of time (e.g.
personnel qualification and training documents, equipment history cards) which are cumulative in nature (e.g.* nonconforming item logs and control room log books) shall become QA records when they are issued as a specific revision (e.g.
the master audit schedul,e); when they are filled-up or di.scontinued (e.g. log books a
or equipment history cards); on predefined periodic basis when the completed portion of the ongoing document shall be transferred to records control as a "record" (e.g. training and qualification records).

4.0 4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Procedures shall be established ~nd executed to control design activities.
Procedures*covering design contrpl activities shall include the following requirements:
4.1 Applicable design inputs s*uch as design bases, regulatory requirements,
. codes and standards, methodology, and all assumptions with appropriate j~stifications are identified, documented, and correctly translated into design output documents such as specifi*cations, drawings, procedures, or instructions. . . .
4.2 Exceptions, waivers to or deviations from engin*eering requirements are documented and controlled.
4.3 Methods are specified for the selection and classification of suitable materials, parts, equipment, and processes used in meeting applicable requirements for structures, systems, and components.
RANCHO SECO LICENSING BASIS DOCUMENT NUMBER: RSLBD-010 REVISION: 5 TITLE: RANCHO SECO QUALITY MANUAL PAGE 18 OF 61 Materials; parts, compor;,ents, and equipment that are standard, commercial (off _the shelf), or which have. been previously approved for other similar applications are reviewed.for suitability and appropriately classified.
4.4 Systematic methods are established for communicating and controlling the flow of related design information across the external and internal design interfaces, including any changes to the design information as the work progresses.
4.5 Interfaces between Engineering and other participating design organizations (either internal or external to SMUD) are identified and documented. This identification includes those organizations providing design inputs, design analyses, design specifications, and design verification for operational, construction and modification design activities.
4.6 Participating design organizations establish and describe the controlled methods for preparation, review, approval; release, distribution, and revision of documents (such as design analyses, specifications, drawings, reports) involving design interfaces.
4.7 Design control* measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design modifications or design changes. Acceptable verification methods include, but are not limited to, design reviews, alternate calculations, or qualification testing. If a test program is used to verify the adequacy of a design, it must include qualification testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design conditions.
4.8 Computer program codes used for design calculations are certified for use and their use is specified.
4.9 Design verification is to be performed by competent individuals or groups other than those who performed the original design, but who may-be from the same organization. The results of the design verification efforts must be documented with the identification of the verifier clearly provided.
4.1 O Provisions are specified for the control of design analyses such as accident analyses; compatibility of _materials; accessibility for maintenance and repair; and delineation of acceptance criteria for inspections and tests.
4.11 Design problems.that are identified during field installation or testing activities shall be documented and -forwarded to the Manager, Rancho Seco Assets for evaluation and resolution.
