Letter from W. T. Cottle to U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission dated March 28,1996, "Subm>tal of Revised Quality Assurance Plan" (ST-HL-AE-5321)
The South Texas Project submits the attached version of the South Texas Project Operations Quality Assurance Plan (OQAP) in response to the comments received on Reference 1 and during in your staffs visit in August 1996. Your comments on this version are solicited.
This version incorporates the revised methodology for the implementation of the South Texas Project's Graded Quality Assurance (GQA) Program. This version is currently under review internally.
In particular, the following enhancements from the previous submittal were incorporated:
1)
The two sections proposed in our original GQA submittal have been combined into one section. This section is no longer subdivided based on the GQA
/
categorization (i.e., Full vs. Basic).
/ /
( !!
2)
A Regulatory Guide table has been added which identifies the South Texas Projects level of commitment with regards to the Regulatory Guides and associated ANSI Standards. This table describes the extent to which the guides l
and standards are to be applied relative to whether the application is the Full QA A((
l 240092 Program or the Basic QA Program. Where specific exception is taken, it will be 3/
t documented in the table.

OF 15 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION EFFECTIVE DATE l
1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of this chapter is to define criteria and establish administrative controls for implementation of the Quality Assurance (QA) Program for the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS).
2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The QA Program is implemented and controlled in accordance with the Operations Quality Assurance Plan (OQAP) and is applicable to structures, systems, and components to an extent consistent with their importance to safety, and complies with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B and other program commitments as appropriate.
Graded Quality Assurance is one element of STPEGS's Comprehensive Risk Management (CRM) Program.
Graded Quality Assurance provides the process by which risk-based methodology (i.e.,
Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)), deterministic insight, and performance-based information analyses are combined to provide direction as to what levels of programmatic controls are needed for structures, systems, and components, and as to the levels of first line and independent oversight needed to provide necessary assurance that items will operate safely and activities are accomplished as prescribed.
The CRM Program is implemented by Working Groups who provide risk-informed, performance-based recommendations to an Expert Panel.
The Expert Panel is a multi-discipline group comprised of high-level management representing Design and Systems Engineering, Nuclear Licensing, Industry Relations, Risk and Reliability Analysis, Quality, and Plant Management.
The Expert Panel is chartered with guiding the implementation of the CRM Program.
The QA program is implemented in three graded applications (i.e.,
" Full", " Targeted", and " Basic").
l
" Full" program controls are applied to structures, i
systems, and components determined to be "high" safety significant/ risk important.
" Targeted" program controls are applied to non-safety I
related structures, systems, and components which are categorized "high" or " medium" safety significant/ risk important and to structures, systems, and components

Applicability of specific paragraphs to the full or basic program are identified by parenthetical statements at the end of each paragraph.
Sections of Regulatory Guides and ANSI standards (which do not provide for " grading" in applicability sections), which contain requirements (as indicated by use of the word "shall") and for which STP does not take specific exception (s), will be implemented.
(Applicable to both Full and Basic)
Sections of endorsed ANSI standards which contain requirements (as indicated by the word "shall") will be implemented (as prescribed in the " applicability" portions of these standards),
consistent with the nature, scope and importance of the activity performed.
(Applicable to both Full and Basic)
Regulatory Guide positions and ANSI standard sections, which contain recommendations (at 'ndicated by use of the word "should"), will be implemer..ed as appropriate depending on comprehensive risk management activities and good business practice.
(Applicable to both Full and Basic)
STP has determined that equipment and components in the Basic category do not carry a high degree of safety significance and therefore, blanket exception is taken to Regulatory Guide positions which indicate that specific ANSI standard sections have sufficient safety significance to warrant treatment of "should" the same as "shall".
