g Ameren MISSOURI REVISION: 033 CALIAWAY ENERGY CENTER DATE: 06/18 OPERATING QUALITYASS URANCE MANUAL OOAP POLICY/INTRODUCTIONS It is the policy of Union Electric Company (Ameren Missouri) to develop, implement. and maintain an Operating Quality Assurance Program (OQAP) for Callaway Plant as required by provisions of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) operating license and amendments thereto. The QA Program shall be applied to those activities affecting quality (safety-related) regarding structures, systems. and componetits necessary to assure:

1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary,
2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, or
3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in off-site exposures comparable to the guideline exposures ofNRC Regulations 10 CFR 100.

These activities include operational testing. operations. maintenance, refueling, and modifications. Control over these activities as they affect quality shall be to the extent consistent with their importance to safety.

Ameren Missouri has established an organization to implement the OQAP as documented in policies, manuals, and procedures. Specific OQAP requirements and corresponding organizational responsibilities are specified in the Operating Quality Assurance Manual (OQAM).

The OQAP involves the proper functioning of many disciplines and activities. Functions, departments.

groups, committees and other organizational subdivisions shall control activities affecting quality through implementation of appropriate wTitten procedures or instructions. Documentation shall be maintained to provide objective evidence of program implementation and effectiveness.

The OQAP shall comply with 10 CER 50 Appendix B Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants and follow the guidance of the Regulatory Position of Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Clarifications, alternatives, and exceptions to this Regulatory Position are described in Appendix A of the OQAM.

An eighteen (1$) section format is employed with a discussion of how corresponding criteria of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B are satisfied.

The OQAM Appendix B contains the Quality Assurance Program requirements for the Dry Cask Storage System. The requirements and controls for the Dry Cask Storage System are applied in a graded approach to the systems, structures and components important-to-safety as defined in 10 CFR 72.

The responsibility for formulating. authorizing, and assuring implementation of the Ameren Missouri OQAP rests with the Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer. The policy and resultant QA Program are mandatory for Callaway Plant operational phase activities. Accordingly. personnel shall be made cognizant ofQA Program requirements and responsibilities applicable to their individual activities and interfaces.

Effective December 31. 1997. Union Electric (UE) and Central Illinois Public Services Company (CIPSCO) completed a merger into a new operating company Ameren Corporation. With this merger. some reorganization has occurred with several of the functions and divisions previously within Union Electric being redistributed either to AmerenUE (new operating company for the power generation portion of the company previously within UE) or Ameren Services (new operating company for the non-power generation side of the newly created Ameren Corporation). Note: As of October 1, 2010 the name of AmerenUl was changed to Ameren Missouri.

By the signatures of the undersigned, this OQAM is approved and those Ameren personnel whose activities are within the purview of the OQAP are responsible for its implementation in accordance with the requirements described herein.

These procedures shall address control of the interface, responsibilities. Imes of communication. and documentation of internal and external interface activities.

3.14 Design changes and calculations shall include design verification. Configuration change shall iticlude a design review. Design verilication assures that design is adequate and meets specified design inputs.

Design control procedures shall specit requirements for the selection and accomplishment of a design Verification program. The program depth shall he commensurate with the importance of the system or component to safety. complexity of the design. and similarity of the design to previously proven designs.

Design verification shall be conducted in accordance with procedures. which identify the responsibilities of the verifier and the documentation required and which, through adherence to the procedures. provide for the identification of the areas. features, and pertinent considerations to be verified. Design verification shall he by either design review, alternate calculation, qualification testing. or by a combination of these. Where alternate calculations are performed to verify the correctness of a calculation, a review shall he perfomied to address the appropriateness of assumptions, input data, and the code or other calculation method used.

Ameren Missouri shall perform reviews of design of selected documents for subcontracted design to become familiar with design features. An independent third-level review must be employed as an additional verification when Ameren Missouri judges that the design involves tinique or special design features. The organization performing design shall have the responsibility for design control unless specified otherwise.

Design verification shall be performed by competent personnel other than those who perfonned the original design and who shall not have specified a singular design approach. have ruled otit certain design considerations, or have established the design inputs for the particular design aspect being verified. A designers supervisor may perform design verification when this individual is_the only technically qualified individual and in such instances the need for design verification by the designers immediate supervisor shall be individually documented and approved in advance by the supervisors management. Nuclear Oversight Department audits shall examine the frequency and the etfectiveness of use of supervisors as design verifiers to guard against abuse.

3.15 Design verification, if other than by qualification testing of a prototype or lead production unit, shall be completed prior to release for procurement, manufacturing, construction or to another organization for use in other design activities. In those cases where this timing cannot be met, the design verification may be deferred, providing the justification for this action is documented and the portions of the design output documents based on the unverified data are appropriately identified and controlled. Without verification, site activities associated with a design or design change must not proceed past the point where the installation would become irreversible (i.e., require extensive demolition and rework). The design verification shall be complete prior to relying upon the component. system. or structure to perform its safety-related function.

3.16 Action shall be initiated to correct errors found in the design process. Errors and deficiencies identified in approved design documents shall be documented and the process of their correction (i.e.. review and approval) shall be controlled. These actions shall assure that changes to design or installed components are controlled.

APPENDIX A Ameren MISSOURI REVISION: 033 CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER DATE: 06/18 OPERATING QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL With regard to Section 3.4 of ANSI N45.2.12-1977 titled Audit Planniru: Identical or equivalent controls ate provided in this OQAM. Section 18.

With regard to Section 3.5 of ANSI N45.2.12 1977 titled Scheduling: Identical or equivalent controls are provided in this OQAM, Section 18 for the requirements of Subsections 3.5.1 and 3.5.2. Subsection 3.5.3.1 is interpreted to mean that Ameren Missouri may procedurally control qualification of a contractors or suppliers quality assurance program prior to awarding a contract or purchase order by means other than audit. The measures outlined in Sections 4 and 7 of this OQAM address the requirements of Subsection 3.5.3.1.

With regard to Section 4.3.1 of ANSI N45.2.12 1977 titled Pre-Audit Conference: Ameren Missouri shall comply with requirements of this Section by inserting the word Normally at the beginning of the first sentence. This clarification is required because, in the case of certain unannounced audits or audits of a particular operation or work activity, a pre-audit conference might interfere with the spontaneity of the operation or activity being audited. In other cases, persons who should be present at a pre-audit conference may not always be available: such lack of availability should not be an impediment to beginning an audit. Even in the above examples, which are not intended to be all inclusive, the material set Lbrth in Section 4.3.1 shall normally be covered during the course of the audit.

With regard to Section 4.3.2 of ANSI N45.2.12 - 1977 titled Audit Process:

(a) Subsection 4.3.2.2 could be interpreted to limit auditors to the review of only objective evidence sometimes and for some Program elements, no objective evidence may be available. Ameren Missotiri shall comply with an alternate sentence which reads: When available, objective evidence shall be examined for compliance with Quality Assurance Program requirements. II. subjective evidence is used (e.g. personal interviews, direct observations by the auditor),

then the audit report must indicate how the evidence was obtained.

(b) Subsection 4.3.2.4 is modified as follows to take into account the flict that some nonconlhrmances are virtually obvious with respect to the needed corrective action: When a nonconfrwmance or Quality Assurance Program deficiency is identified as a result of an audit, unless the apparent cause, extent, and corrective action are readily evident. Ilirther investigation shall be conducted by the audited organization in an effort to identif the cause and effect and to determine the extent of the corrective action required.

(c) Subsection 4.3.2.5 contains a recommendation which is clarified with the definition ofacknowledged by a member of the audited organization to mean that a member of the audited organization has been inforned of the findings.

Agreement or disagreement with a finding may be expressed in the response from the audited organization.

(d) Subsection 4.3.2.6 is modified as follows to account for the fact that immediate notification is not always possible:

Conditions requiring immediate corrective action (i.e. those which are so severe that any delay would be undesirable) shall be reported immediately to the audited organization and as soon as practical to the management thereof.

With regard to Section 4.3.3 of ANSI N45.2.l2 - 1977 titled Post-Audit Conference: Ameren Missouri shall substitute and comply with the following paragraph:

for external audits, a post-audit conference shall be held with management of the audited organization to present audit findings and clarify misunderstandings; where no adverse findings exist, this conference may be waived by management of the audited organization: such waiver shall be documented in the audit report. Unless unusual operating or maintenance conditions preclude attendance by appropriate managers/supervisors, a post-audit conference shall be held with managers/supervisors for internal audits for the same reasons as above. Again, if there are no adverse findings, management of the internal audited organization may waive the post-audit conference: such waiver shall be documented in the audit report.

(a) This Section requires that the audit report shall be signed by the Audit Team Leader (AlL); this is not always the most expeditious route to take to assure that the audit report is issued as soon as practical. Ameren Missouri shall comply with Section 4.4 as clarified in the following opening:

An audit report. which shall be signed by the Audit Team Leader (ATL). or the AlLs supervisor in the AlLs absence, shall provide...

In cases where the audit report is not signed by the ATL due to absence, one record copy of the report must be signed by the AlL upon return. The report shall not require the AlLs reviewconcurrence signature if the ATL is no longer employed by Ameren Missouri at the time the audit report is issued.

(b) Ameren Missouri shall comply with subsection 4.4.3 clarified to read: Supervisory level personnel with whom significant discussions were held during the course of pre-audit (where conducted) audit, and post-audit (where conducted) activities.

(c) Audit reports may not necessarily contain an evaluation statement regarding the effectiveness of the Quality Assurance Program elements which were audited, as required by subsection 4.4.4. but they shall provide a summary of the audited areas and the results which identi1 the importance of any adverse findings.

With regard to Section 4.5.1 of ANSI N45.2. 12 1977 titled By Audited Organization: Ameren Missouri shall comply with the following clarification of the Section: Management of the audited organization or activity shall review and investigate adverse audit findings, as necessary. (e.g.. where the cause is not already known, another organization has not already investigated and found the cause. etc.) to determine and schedule appropriate remedial action. The audited organization shall assure documentation of remedial action taken is provided. Adverse audit findings shall be evaluated to determine the need for action to prevent recurrence. If such action is deemed necessarv. the results of the investigation (root cause analysis). the corrective action taken or planned to prevent recurrence, and a schedule for implementation shall be provided by the audited organization. Such evaluations and implementation of actions shall be scheduled and performed consistent with the safety significance of the item. The audited organization shall take appropriate action to assure corrective action is accomplished as scheduled. In the event the action or schedule of implementation must be changed, the audited organization shall provide a revised response on or belbre the originally scheduled completion date which statuses the corrective action and states its completion date. Evaluation progress and corrective action implementation will be performed and tracked in accordance with provisions of Section 16 of the Ameren Missouri Operating Quality Assurance Manual.

With regard to Section 4.5.2 of ANSI N45.2.12-1977 titled By Auditing Organization: Ameren Missouri shall comply with the following clarification of the section: for internal audits, performed by or for the Nuclear Oversight Department. follow-up actions will be taken by the audited organization as described in Section 16 of this OQ.kM. The internal audit program implemented in Section 18 of this OQAM provides assurance that the corrective action program requirements are properly implemented. By sampling responses to conditions adverse to quality, the adequacy of root cause analysis. implementation of remedial action, and action to prevent recurrence are verified to assure effective corrective action program implementation.

Therefore, the auditing organization will not necessarily evaluate the adequacy and assure action is identified and accomplished for each adverse finding. External audits shall comply with section 4.5.2 of ANSI N45.2.12-l977.

, APPENDIX B Ameren MISSOURI REVISION: 033 CALLAVAY ENERGY CENTER DATE: 06/18 OPERATING OUALITVASSURAN(E MANUAL BACKGROUND This Appendix is to define the quality program requirements for Callaway Energy Centers Dry Cask Storage System DCSS). The Dry Cask Storage S stem in this document includes the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) facility, activities supporting spent fuel dry cask loading, and the associated dry cask storage equipment.

Ameren Missouri is implementing a general license pursuant to IOCFR72.210 to store spent fuel in an approved Dry Cask Storage System at an onsite ISFSI facility. The Dry Cask Storage System must comply with the quality assurance requirements of 10CFR72 Subpart G, Quality Assurance, This Appendix addresses the quality program requirements necessary to ensure compliance with 10CFR72 Subpart G through the use of existing Ameren Missouri Quality Assurance Program controls specified in the Callaway Energy Center Operating Quality Assurance Manual (OQAM). The quality program requirements to be applied to the Callaway Energy Center Dry Cask Storage System are based on the items or processes importance to safety.

The quality assurance program requirements for the Dry Cask Storage System are divided into Important To Safety (ITS) categories using the graded approach described in NUREGCR-6407 Classification of Transportation Packaging and Dry Spent fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety. Each component of a Dry Cask Storage System is first identified as either important to safety (ITS) or not important to safety (NITS). Components classified as not important to safety are handled the same as non-safety related.

As detined in 10CFR72.3, the important to safety functions of structures, systems. and components for the storage of spent fuel are:

  • To maintain the conditions required to store spent fuel safely:
  • To prevent damage to the spent fuel container during handling and storage: or
  • To provide reasonable assurance that spent fuel can be received, handled, packaged. stored, and retrieved without undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

The Dry Cask Storage System structures, systems and components (SSCs) are classified important to safety (ITS A, B, or C) in Holtec International Final Safety Analysis Report on the HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System as folIo vs a) Categoiy A (ITS A) Critical to safe operation ITS A items include structures, systems and components whose failure could directly result in a condition adversely affecting public health and safety. The failure of a single item could cause loss of primary confinement leading to release of radioactive material, loss of shielding. or unsafe geometry compromising criticality control.

b) Category B (ITS B) Major impact to safety ITS B items include structures, systems and components whose failure or malfunction could indirectly result in a condition adversely affecting public health and safety. The failure of an ITS B item, in conjunction with failure of an additional item, could result in an unsafe condition.

Page 1 of6

7,. APPENDIX 11 Amerefl REVISION: 033 CALLAWAY ENERGY CENTER DATE: 06/18 OPERATING QUALITYASSURANCE MANUAL c) Category C (ITS C) Minor impact on safety ITS C items include structures, systems and cotliponents whose failure or malfunction would not significantly reduce the packaging effectiveness and would not be likely to create a situation adversely affecting public health and safety.
