17.2 | Other ANSI standards are not requirements for Iowa Electric even if they are listed as references in a standard endorsed by a Regulatory Guide to which Iowa Electric is committed. | ||
(Such standards may, of course, be used as guidance.) | |||
: However, a section of a standard which is specifically referred to in a standard endorsed by a Regulatory Guide to which Iowa Electric is committed is a requirement for Iowa Electric unless an exception is stated. | |||
Iowa Electric is not committed to ANSI N45.2 for the operational phase. | |||
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Section B, "Discussion" states ANSI N18.7-1972, along with ANSI N45.2-1971, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants", | |||
was endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33. | |||
The dual endorsement was necessary in order for the guidance contained in the regulatory guide to be consistent with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50; however, this dual endorsement caused some confusion among users. | |||
To clarify this situation, ANSI N18.7-1972 was revised so that a single standard would define the general quality assurance program "requirements" for the operation phase. | |||
This revised standard was approved by the American National Standards Committee N18, Nuclear Design Criteria. | |||
It was subsequently approved and designated N18.7-1976/ANS-3.2, "Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants", | |||
by the American National Standards Institute on February 19, 1976. | |||
Therefore, for the operations phase, where a standard endorsed by a Regulatory Guide refers to the use of ANSI N45.2 in conjunction with that Standard, Iowa Electric inserts the ANSI Standard N18.7-1976. | |||

For example: (1) all welds are liquid-penetrant inspected; (2) alt socket welds are checked for minimum engagement and and gap between pipe and socket bottom by a marking technique; (3) all welding was performed by qualified welders; (4)all work was done per written procedures. | |||
The following examples are typical of the problem associated with codes designed to control field-asseabled comporants wdhen applied to the design and production of factory fabricated specialty components: **1. | |||
The HCU nitrogen gas bottle is a spun forging that is mechanically joined to the accumulator. | |||
It stores the energy required to scram a drive at low vessel pressure. | |||
It has been code stamped since its introduction in 1966, although its size exempts it from mandatory stamping. | |||
It is constructed of a material listed by the ASHE BAPV Code, Section VIII, that was selected for its strength and formability. | |||
**2. The scram accumulator is joined to the HCU by a split flange joint chosen for its compact design to facilitate both assembly and maintenance. | |||
Both the design and construction conform to the 931.1.0 10 piping code. | |||
This joint, which requires a design pressure of 1750 psig, has been proof tested to 10,000 pal. | |||
**3. The accumulator nitrogen shutoff valve is a 6.000 pal cartridge valve whose copper alloy material is listed In the ASHE BAPV Code, Section ViII. | |||
The valve was chosen for this service partly because it is qualified by the U.S. Navy for submarine service. | |||
**4. | |||
The directional control valves are solenoid pilot-operated valves that are subplate mounted on the HCU. | |||
The valve has a body specialty designed for the NCU, but the operating parts are identical to a commercial valve with a proven history of satisfactory service. | |||
The pressure retaining parts are stainless steel alloys chosen for service, fabrication and magnetic properties. | |||
The manufacturer cannot substitute a code material for that used for the solenoid core tube. | |||
The foregoing examples are not ment to justify one pressure integrity quality level or another, but to demonstrate that the codes and standards invoked by those quality levels are not strictly applicable to special equipment and part designs. | |||
Group D classification is generally applicable because the codes and standards invoked by that classification contain clauses that permit the use of manufacturer's standards and proven design techniques that are not explicitly defined within those codes. | |||
This was supplemented by the quality control techniques described above. | |||

2 Bechtel built these items to ASNE Class 2 standards, based on the piping classes given on the PID (see paragraph 3.2.7). | |||
However, based on the CA classification of these item, they should have been Class 3. The higher class is shown on this table, although Class 3 is justifiable and would make more sense with the GA Group 0 designation. | |||

1 The design and construction specifications for the hydraulic control unit (HCU) do invoke such codes and standards as can be reasonably applied to individual parts in developing required quality levels, but these codes and standards are supplemented with additional requirements for these parts and for the reaining parts and details. | |||
For example: (1) all welds are liquid-penetrant inspected; (2) all socket welds are checked for minimu engagement and end gap between pipe and socket bottom by a marking technique; (3) at welding was performed by qualified welders; (4)alI work was done per written procedures. | |||
The following examples are typical of the problems associated with codes designed to control field-assembled components when applied to the design and production of factory fabricated specialty components: **1. | |||
The NU nitrogen gas bottle is a spun forging that is mechanically joined to the accsuulator. | |||
It stores the energy required to scram a drive at low vessel pressure. | |||
It has 10 been code.steeped since its introduction in 1966, although its size exempts it from mandatory stamping. | |||

**2. The scram accumulator is joined to the HCU by a split flange joint chosen for its compact design to facilitate both asseobly and maintenance. | |||
Both the design and construction conform to the 631.1.0 piping code. | |||
This joint, which requires a design pressure of 1750 psig, has been proof tested to 10,000 pal. **3. | |||
The accumulator nitrogen shutoff valve is a 6,000 psi cartridge valve whose copper alloy material is listed In the ASNE BAPV Code, Section Vill. | |||
The valve was chosen for this service partly because it is qualified by the U.S. -Navy for submarine service. | |||
**4. The directional control valves are solenoid pi(ot-operated valves that are subptate mounted on the HCU. | |||
The valve has a body specially designed for the HCU, but the operating parts are identical to a commercial valve with a proven history of satisfactory service. | |||
The pressure retaining parts are stainless steel alloys chosen for service, fabrication and magnetic properties. | |||
The manufacturer cannot substitute a code material for that used for the solenoid core tube. | |||

17.2.3 DESIGN CONTROL 17.2.3.1 Scope The
- design, modification,
- addition, and replacement of safety-related structures, systems, and components at the DAEC is controlled to ensure that appropriate measures are implemented and to ensure that "as-built" quality is not degraded.
The plant design is defined by Iowa
- Electric, the NSSS
- supplier, architect/engineer, and selected suppliers.
Design drawings and specifications illustrate the general arrangement and details of safety-related structures, systems, and components and define the requirements for ensuring their continuing capability to perform their intended operational or safety design function.
17.2-7 Revision 14 To be determined
Design activities include the correct translation of regulatory requirements and design bases into specifications, drawings, written procedures, and instructions that define the design.
Design analyses regarding reactor physics, stress, seismic, thermal, hydraulic, radiation, and accident analyses used to produce design output documents are performed when appropriate.
Design verification is performed.
Procedures establish requirements, assign responsibilities, and provide control of design activities to ensure performance in a
planned, controlled, and orderly manner.
17.2.3.2 Design Responsibility The design and engineering effort is the responsibility of the Engineering Department within the Nuclear Generation Division.
Assistance may be provided by other engineering organizations; individuals providing that assistance are required to perform their activities in compliance with the Iowa Electric Operational Quality Assurance Program.

17.2.3.3 Design Criteria Design requirements and changes thereto are identified, documented, reviewed, and approved to ensure the incorporation of appropriate quality standards in design documents.
Design requirements and quality standards are described to an appropriate level of detail in design criteria.
Any exception to quality standards will be listed. Criteria for modifications to structures,
- systems, and components will consider, as a minimum, the design bases described in the UFSAR.
All design criteria will be satisfied in the design.
17.2.3.4 Design Process Controls The organization performing design will have the responsibility for design control unless specified otherwise. The control of design will be specified in procedures.
These procedures will include instructions for defining typical design requirements; communicating needed design information across internal and external interfaces; preparing, reviewing, approving, releasing, distributing,
- revising, and maintaining design documents; performing design reviews; and controlling field changes.
Design control involves measures that include a definition of design requirements; a design process that includes design analysis and the delineation of requirements through the issuing of drawings, specifications, and other design documents (design outputs); and design verification.
17.2-8 Revision 14 To be determined
The design process establishes controls for releasing technically adequate and accurate design documents in a controlled manner with a timely distribution to responsible individuals and groups.
Documents and revisions are controlled through the use of written procedures that apply to the issuer, distributor, and user to prevent inadvertent use of superseded documents.
Document control procedures govern the collection, storage, and maintenance of design documents, results of design document reviews, and changes thereto. Design documents subject to procedural control include, but are not limited to, specifications, calculations, computer programs, the UFSAR when used as a design document, and drawings, including flow diagrams, piping and instrument diagrams, control logic diagrams, electrical single-line diagrams, structural systems for major facilities, site arrangements, and equipment locations.
17.2.3.5 Design Interface Control Design interfaces with external and internal organizations participating in the design are controlled. The design interface measures ensure that the required design information is available in a timely fashion to the organization(s) responsible for the design.
17.2.3.6 Design Verification The applicability of previously proven designs, with respect to meeting pertinent design
- inputs, including environmental conditions, will be verified for each application.
Where the design of a particular structure, system, or component for a specific application has been subjected to a previous verification process, the verification process need not be duplicated for subsequent identical applications.
However, the original design and verification will be documented and referenced for the subsequent application.
When changes to previously verified designs have been made, design verification will be required for the changes, including an evaluation of the effects of those changes on the overall design.
Design verification will be performed by competent individuals who:
have not participated in the original design but may be from the same organizational entity, do not have immediate supervisory responsibility for the individual performing the design, have not specified a singular design approach, have not ruled out certain design considerations, and 17.2-9 Revision 14 To be determined
have not established the inputs for the particular design aspect being verified.
Under exceptional circumstances, the design verification may be performed by the originator's supervisor provided:
the supervisor is the only technically qualified individual in the organization competent to perform the verification, the need is individually documented and approved in advance by the supervisor's management, and QA audits cover the frequency of occurrence and effectiveness of the supervisor as design verifier to guard against abuse.
Cursory supervisory reviews do not satisfy the intent of providing a design verification.
If errors or deficiencies in the design process are detected during the design verification cycle or during audits, resolution of errors and deficiencies will be the responsibility of the design engineer, who must provide documented evidence of resolution to the appropriate levels of management.
Acceptable verification methods include, but are not limited to, any one or a combination of the following:
- 1.
Design reviews
- 2.
Alternative or simplified calculational methods
- 3.
Performance of suitable qualification testing.
The method selected will consider the item's complexity, previous operational experience, and importance to safety.
The results of the design verification efforts will be clearly documented, with the identification of the verifier clearly indicated and filed.
The documentation of results will be auditable against the verification methods identified by the responsible design organization.
17.2.3.6.1 Design Reviews Design reviews will be sufficient to verify the appropriateness of the design
- input, including assumptions, design bases and applicable regulations, codes and standards, and that the design is adequate for the intended application of the design.
17.2-10 Revision 14 To be determined
Design reviews can range from multi-organization reviews to single-person reviews.
The depth of review can range from a detailed check of the complete design to a limited check of the design approach, calculations, and results obtained.
17.2.3.6.2 Calculations Alternative, simplified calculations can be made, or a check of the original calculations may be performed, to verify the correctness of the original calculation.
Where computer programs are used, the program verification will be documented and the inputs shall be considered in the design review.
17.2.3.6.3 Qualification Testing Design verification for some designs or specific design features may be achieved by suitable qualification testing of a prototype or initial production unit.
In those cases where the adequacy of a design is to be verified by a qualification test, the testing will be identified and documented.
Testing will demonstrate the adequacy of performance under conditions that simulate the most adverse design conditions.
17.2.3.7 Changes To Design Documents Changes to design documents receive a review and approval process as equivalent to original design documents.
Design documents issued by the original architect-engineer, NSSS supplier, and other organizations may be changed and revised by the responsible design organizations within Iowa Electric or contracted by Iowa Electric.
17.2.3.8 Independent Review Committees Independent of the responsibilities of the design organization, the requirements of the Operations Committee and the Safety Committee, as specified in the Technical Specifications, will be satisfied.

17.2.17 QUALITY ASSURANCE RECORDS 17.2.17.1 Scope Quality assurance records will be prepared, identified, collected, and protected so that adequate evidence of activities affecting quality is available.
17.2.17.2 Preparation and Identification of Quality Assurance Records The organization responsible for the activity will also be responsible for the preparation and identification of the quality assurance records that attest to the quality of that activity.
As a general criterion, those documents that reflect the as-built condition of an item, component, system, or plant, and those documents that attest to the quality of an activity, item, structure, or system will be treated as quality assurance records.
- Also, the qualification records of inspection, examination and testing personnel, and quality assurance audit personnel, are classified as quality assurance records.
Quality assurance records will be legible, accurate, and complete.
17.2.17.3 Collection and Protection of Quality Assurance Records The quality assurance records will be collected,
- indexed, classified, and protected.
The organization that generates the quality assurance record will be responsible for collecting the records. The collected quality assurance records will be classified as either lifetime or non permanent quality assurance records.
The lack of a classification will mean that the quality assurance record is a lifetime record.
17.2-34 Revision 14 To be determined
The quality assurance records that have been identified and collected will be suitably protected against fire, theft, and damage.
The manner in which the records are protected will be consistent with the retention period.
17.2.17.4 Record Storage on Optical Disks Records may be stored on an optical disk storage system which utilizes a write once read many (WORM) system. The image of each record shall be placed onto two optical disks, with verification of the image on each record. Should any of the images be illegible, the hard copy record is maintained as the record.
One optical disk shall be used for on-line access and the second optical disk shall be stored in a records storage facility meeting the requirements for single copy storage or in a separate remote location meeting the requirements of Iowa Electric's commitment to ANSI N45.2.9 1974.
To ensure permanent retention of records, the records stored on an optical disk are acceptably copied onto a new optical disk before the manufacturer's certified useful life of the original disk is exceeded. Records copied shall be verified.
Periodic random inspections of images stored on optical disks are performed to verify that there has been no degradation of image quality.
Should it become necessary to replace the optical imaging system with a new system which is not compatible, the records stored on the old system shall be converted onto the new system prior to the old system being taken out of service.
This conversion process shall include a verification of the records converted.
17.2.17.5 Transfer or Destruction of Records The organization responsible for the quality assurance record will be responsible for the transfer of that quality assurance record for the purposes of microfilming and/or lifetime storage.
The transfer of quality assurance records from one organization to another organization will be accomplished by a formal mechanism that provides for the acceptance of the quality assurance record.
The destruction of quality assurance records will be accomplished only with the approval of the concerned organizations.

Iowa Electric Light and Power Company Appendix A to UFSAR/DAEC-l Chapter 17.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE DURING THE OPERATIONS PHASE Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD)
INTRODUCTION This Appendix describes the manner by which the Iowa Electric Operational Quality Assurance Program for the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), as set forth in the Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD), UFSAR Chapter 17.2, conforms to NRC Regulatory Guides listed in the June 6, 1990, letter from Region III (Miller) to Iowa Electric (Liu) and certain other commitments previously contained in Table 2-1 of the Quality Assurance Manual.
Comments and clarifications to these specific commitments are identified in this Appendix.
Iowa Electric's position on each ANSI standard which is endorsed by a Regulatory Guide to which Iowa Electric is committed is stated in either the UFSAR or the QAPD.
Other ANSI standards are not requirements for Iowa Electric even if they are listed as references in a standard endorsed by a Regulatory Guide to which Iowa Electric is committed.
(Such standards may, of course, be used as guidance.)
- However, a section of a standard which is specifically referred to in a standard endorsed by a Regulatory Guide to which Iowa Electric is committed is a requirement for Iowa Electric unless an exception is stated.
Iowa Electric is not committed to ANSI N45.2 for the operational phase.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Section B, "Discussion" states ANSI N18.7-1972, along with ANSI N45.2-1971, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants",
was endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33.
The dual endorsement was necessary in order for the guidance contained in the regulatory guide to be consistent with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50; however, this dual endorsement caused some confusion among users.
To clarify this situation, ANSI N18.7-1972 was revised so that a single standard would define the general quality assurance program "requirements" for the operation phase.
This revised standard was approved by the American National Standards Committee N18, Nuclear Design Criteria.
It was subsequently approved and designated N18.7-1976/ANS-3.2, "Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants",
by the American National Standards Institute on February 19, 1976.
Therefore, for the operations phase, where a standard endorsed by a Regulatory Guide refers to the use of ANSI N45.2 in conjunction with that Standard, Iowa Electric inserts the ANSI Standard N18.7-1976.

1.2 With respect to selection and training of security personnel, Iowa Electric does not commit to the standard [ANSI N18.17-1973 (ANS 3.3)] referred to in ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978, Sections 1
(Scope) and 6
(References).
The Iowa Electric training and qualification plan for security personnel complies with 10 CFR Part 73, Appendix B.
2.0 REGULATORY GUIDE 1.26, "Quality Group Classifications and Standards for Water-,
Steam-,
and Radioactive-Waste Containing Components of Nuclear Power Plants" COMMENTS AND CLARIFICATIONS:
The Iowa Electric commitment to Safety Guide 26 (3/23/72),
Quality Group Classifications and Standards, is stated in UFSAR Chapter 1.8, Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides.
3.0 REGULATORY GUIDE 1.28, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Design and Construction)"
COMMENTS AND CLARIFICATIONS:
This Regulatory Guide (Safety Guide 28, dated June 7, 1972) endorses ANSI N45.2 and is not applicable to the operating phase.
DAEC's operational QA program is based on Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, as stated in UFSAR Section 1.8.
4.0 REGULATORY GUIDE 1.29, "Seismic Design Classification" COMMENTS AND CLARIFICATIONS:

17.2 A-2 Revision 14 To be determined
5.0 REGULATORY GUIDE 1.30, "Quality Assurance Requirements for the Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Instrumentation and Electric Equipment" COMMENTS AND CLARIFICATIONS:
Iowa Electric complies with the Regulatory Position of this Regulatory Guide with the following clarifications:
5.1 The Iowa Electric commitment is to Safety Guide 30, dated August 11, 1972 and therefore by reference to ANSI N45.2.4-1972 which it endorses.
5.2 For maintenance and modification activities, Iowa Electric shall comply with the Regulatory Position established by this Regulatory Guide in that the quality assurance program requirements included therein (subject to the clarifications below) shall apply.
Technical requirements associated with maintenance and modification activities shall be equal to or better than the original requirements (eg.,
Code requirements, design and construction specification requirements, and inspection requirements).
5.3 Regulatory Position C.1 states that ANSI N45.2.4-1972 should be used in conjunction with ANSI N45.2-1971.
In lieu of this, Iowa Electric uses ANSI N45.2.4-1972 in conjunction with ANSI N18.7-1976.
5Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI N18.7-1976.</br></br>5" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process..4 Section 2.2(5)(d) of ANSI N45.2.4-1972 requires evidence of compliance by manufacturer with purchase requirements, including quality assurance requirements, before the requirements of ANSI N45.2.4-1972 are implemented. In lieu of this, Iowa Electric may proceed with installation, inspection, and testing activities for equipment lacking its quality documentation provided that this equipment has been identified and controlled in accordance with Iowa Electric's nonconformance reporting system.
5.5 With respect to Section 2.5.2 of ANSI N45.2.4-1972, calibration and control covers two classes of instrumentation used by Iowa Electric:
(1) portable equipment and (2) permanently-installed equipment.
With respect to permanently-installed instrumentation, in lieu of marking the equipment to indicate the date of the next required calibration, a computer-based preventative maintenance program is used.
Once a permanently-installed instrument is identified as needing control, a calibration frequency is assigned, and the information is entered into the data base.
The 17.2 A-3 Revision 14 To be determined
calibration task is then automatically tracked and tasked by the data base.
A "DO NOT USE Until Tested and Calibrated" or equivalent sticker is applied to instruments not calibrated before their due date and to instruments unacceptable for use.
The provisions of ANSI N45.2.4-1972, Section 2.5.2, are applied to portable equipment.
5.6 Section 3
of ANSI N45.2.4-1972 regarding "Preconstruction Verification" states it is necessary to verify that the quality of an item has not suffered during the interim period and it is not intended to duplicate inspections but rather verify that items are in a
satisfactory condition for installation.
Verifications and checks are then required.
In lieu of these verifications and checks, Iowa Electric considers the provisions of QAPD Sections 17.2.8 (Identification and Control of Materials, Parts, and Components) and 17.2.13 (Handling, Storage and Shipping) to be equivalent.
5.7 The last paragraph of Section 6.2.1 of ANSI N45.2.4 1972 requires that items requiring calibration be tagged or labeled on completion, indicating date of calibration and identity of person who performed the calibration.
In lieu of this, for permanently installed instrumentation, the calibration status is reflected in a computerized preventive maintenance program as described in Section 5.5 above.

NRC was previously notified of this change by NG-93-1330 of March 31, 1993.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change in titles and organizational structure was previously approved by NRC correspondence of April 15, 1993:
(Reference letter of Mark A. Ring to Lee Liu).
- 2.
17.2.1.2.1 Quality Assurance Procurement Supervisor:
Identification of the Change:
The word "Assessments" has been corrected to "Assessment" in reference to the title of the QA Assessment Supervisor. In addition, a sentence has been added which states that the QA Procurement Supervisor is responsible for the preparation and maintenance of procedures which implement the functions Page 1 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description assigned to this Supervisor. Also, responsibility for the review of procurement documents has been removed.
Reason for the Change:
The first change is a typographical correction. The second change is made because the QA Programs Engineer position has been eliminated as described in 17.2.1.2.5 below. It is more efficient for the responsible Supervisor to develop and maintain the procedures for which he/she is responsible.
The removal of responsibility for the review of procurement documents is made in support of removing the quality assurance organization from the in-line review of these activities.
See 17.2.4.5 description of change for further details.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This first change only corrects a typographical error.
The second change reflects transfer of the responsibility to prepare procedures from a position previously identified as the QA Programs Engineer to the supervisory position, which is responsible for implementation of the procedures (i.e.,
QA Procurement Supervisor).
All functions previously described in the quality assurance program description continue to be performed, just by a different person. There is no reduction in commitments from those previously reviewed and approved by the NRC.
See section 17.2.1.2.5 below for a discussion of the elimination of the QA Programs Engineer.
The last change regarding elimination of the responsibility for the review of procurement documents is made for consistency with the change described for Section 17.2.4.5.
See the discussion of 17.2.4.5 for the basis of this change.
- 3.
17.2.1.2.2 Quality Assurance Assessment Supervisor:
Identification of the Change:
This section has been modified to include responsibilities for coordinating the review of divisional procedures, and for the preparation and maintenance of procedures for which the position is responsible.
Page 2 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description Reason for the Change:
The position of QA Program Engineer has been eliminated and the responsibilities of that position reassigned, in part to this position.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The previous Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) required that divisional procedures be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Program Engineer. This review continues and is now performed by various QA Department personnel, as assigned by the QA Assessment Supervisor, who coordinates the review. The Quality Assurance Assessment Supervisor is now also responsible for preparation and maintenance of procedures for which he/she is responsible. These functions continue to be performed consistent with the previous revision of the QAPD and as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC. There is no change in commitment. See Section 17.2.1.2.5 below regarding the QA Program Engineer.
- 4.
17.2.1.2.3 Quality Control Supervisor:
Identification of the Changes:
The changes to this section include correcting "Assessments" to "Assessment" in the title of the Quality Assurance Assessment Supervisor and including the responsibility for preparation and maintenance of procedures for which the Quality Control Supervisor is responsible.
Reason for the Changes:
The change from Assessments to Assessment corrects a typographical error.
The addition of responsibility for the preparation and maintenance of procedures is due to the elimination of the QA Programs Engineer position.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The basis is the same as that described above in 17.2.1.2.2.
These changes do not represent a reduction in commitment.
Page 3 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description See Section 17.2.1.2.5 below regarding the QA Program Engineer.
- 5.
17.2.1.2.5 Quality Assurance Programs Engineer:
Identification of the Change:
The position of Quality Assurance Programs Engineer has been eliminated.
Reason for the Change:
The Quality Assurance Programs Engineer position was not efficient.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The QA Programs Engineer previously performed three functions: 1) Assisting the Manager, Corporate Quality Assurance in maintaining the Operational Quality Assurance Program; 2) reviewing divisional procedures which were responsive to the requirements of the Operational Quality Assurance Program, and 3) preparing and maintaining QA Department implementing procedures.
All of these functions continue to be performed. The maintenance of the Operational Quality Assurance Program continues to be performed by the Manager, Corporate Quality Assurance. The review of divisional procedures is now coordinated by the QA Assessment Supervisor. The department implementing procedures are prepared and maintained by the QA Department Supervisors responsible for their implementation.
In conclusion, the functions previously performed by the QA Programs Engineer continue to be performed but by different persons within the QA organization.
These changes do not affect implementation of the program in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, and all quality assurance commitments previously reviewed and accepted by the NRC continue to be performed by the Quality Assurance Department. There is no reduction in commitment.

17.2.1.2.6 (Renumbered as 17.2.1.2.5) Stop Work Authority:
Identification of Changes:
This section was renumbered from 17.2.1.6 to 17.2.1.5.
Reason for the Changes:
The numbering change is the result of eliminating the Quality Assurance Programs Engineer position.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The paragraph numbering change is editorial.

17.2.2.3 Identification of Safety-Related Structures, Systems, Components, and Items:
This section refers to UFSAR Table 3.2-1 for the list of safety-related structures, systems, components and items.
The following changes have been made to UFSAR Table 3.2-1 and evaluated for impact on the quality assurance program.
A.
Section III (Recirculation System), Item 6, Pump Motor:
Identification of Changes:
The following changes have been made to item 111.6:
a)
The safety class has been revised from safety class 2 to "other" b)
The quality assurance requirements have been revised from "B" to "D" c)
Footnote lx has been added which states:
"The recirc pump motors are not seismic category I.
However, per 21A9213 sections 4.1.8.3.5 and 4.1.6, they must be seismically supported so as not to breach the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary."
Reason for the Changes:
The above changes are the result of continuing work at DAEC to reconstitute the design basis of the plant. Details concerning Item 111.6 must be corrected.
Page 5 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description The original purchase specification for the reactor recirculation pump and motor (General Electric Specification 21A9213) states:
"The pump pressure boundary shall remain suitable for service after the transient; however, it is not required that the pump remain operable."
The recirculation pump motors were not included on the original DAEC "Q-List."
In the early design for DAEC, it was assumed that conservative design for the recirculation system pump and motor would require a gradual reduction in recirculation system flow in the event of a transient to minimize the impact on the fuel parameters. This approach was consistent with industry standards ANS-22 and ANS 52.1 which state:
"Sufficient inertia shall be provided in the reactor coolant recirculation pumps or their power source so that the coolant flow coastdown characteristics in the event of a total loss of power ensure that fuel design limits are not exceeded."
In support of these requirements, the safety classification tables in these reference standards identify the reactor recirculation system pump motors as safety class 2 which is consistent with the present UFSAR Table 3.2-1.
However, in later years it was determined that this long coastdown has a negative effect on pressurization.
In 1980, Iowa Electric made a design change (DCR-700) to the recirculation system to install end-of-cycle recirculation pump trip (RPT) breakers in accordance with General Electric document NEDO-24220 "Basis for Installation of Recirculation Pump Trip System."
This design change required a request for a revision to the DAEC Technical Specifications, and an NRC safety evaluation report was issued. Additional Class 1E trip breakers were installed which trip the recirculation system pump motors from the recirculation motor generator set, minimizing the recirculation pump coastdown.
These motors are not safety class 2, but safety class "other," and the motors do need to be seismically mounted in order to maintain the reactor coolant pressure boundary (impact on the pumps).
New Footnote lx has been added to Page 6 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description define the seismic requirements clearly. The quality assurance requirements have been revised from 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B to other (D) consistent with the non-safety, but seismic, application of these pump motors.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The Safety Class 2 and Appendix B classifications for the reactor recirculation pump motors previously stated were in error. As stated above, these motors were not originally purchased as a "Q-List" item. The current Safety Class 2 designation was based on ANS-22 which does not recognize the use of Class 1E trip breakers to remove the power source from the pumps during a transient. These pump motors perform no safety function.
In conclusion, UFSAR Table 3.2-1 was incorrect because of an incomplete set of input documents.
Reclassification of the recirculation pump motor is not a reduction in commitment based on the original DAEC design but could be classified as a reduction in commitment based on the content of the current UFSAR Table 3.2-1. On this basis, this change is categorized as a reduction in commitment from that previously specified.
7B.
Item XI.9, HPCI System, Turbine:
Identification of the Change A reference to Footnote Ig was added to the HPCI Turbine item, and footnote lg was revised to include the HPCI turbine. Footnote lg now states:
"The RCIC and HPCI turbines do not fall within the applicable design codes.
To assure that the turbines are fabricated to the standards commensurate with their safety and performance requirements, General Electric has established specific design requirements for these components."
Reason for the Change Footnote lg is applicable to the RCIC and HPCI turbines.
That was clear in a similar note in the UFSAR revision of July, 1982, page T.3.2-16. comment 8 which stated:
Page 7 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description "The HPCI and RCIC turbines are categorized as machinery and thus do not fall within the classification groups as earlier identified. To ensure that the turbine was fabricated to the standards commensurate with their performance requirements, General Electric has established specific design requirements for these components."
This was mistakenly dropped.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under Section 50.54 (a)(3):
This change clarifies the entry for the HPCI system turbine in UFSAR Table 3.2-1.
It does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC to the RCIC and HPCI turbines and continues to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. This change is not a reduction in commitment.
7C.
Items XI.7 (HPCI Vacuum Pump Discharge Line to Containment Isolation Valves) and (RCIC, Vacuum Pump Discharge Line to Containment Isolation Valves):
Identification of the Changes:
Footnote lb was added to the RCIC Item 7 " Vacuum pump discharge line to containment isolation valves". The footnote states:
ANSI B31, Code Case 78 applies for B31.7 Class 1 and Class 2 pipe and fittings 3/4" nominal pipe size (NPS) and smaller.
Also, "Principal component description" for entries XI.7 and XII.7 are revised from "Vacuum pump discharge line to containment isolation valves" to "Vacuum pump discharge line."
Reason for the Change Footnote lb was not previously applied to the RCIC system vacuum pump discharge line. A portion of the RCIC (and HPCI) system vacuum pump discharge lines return to the barometric condenser and are 3/4" Class 2 lines to which Code Case 78 applies.
Page 8 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description The "Principal component description" was in error. The HPCI and RCIC vacuum pump discharge lines discharge to the Standby Gas Treatment System, and back to the barometric condenser. There are no containment isolation valves in these lines.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
These changes do not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continue to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. Quality Assurance requirement "D" continues to be applied. This change is not a reduction in commitment.
7D.
Item XXIII.1, Offgas System, Tanks:
Identification of the Change Item XXIII.1, the construction code of 'D100 or API-650' was changed to read 'AWWA D100 or API-650'.
Reason for the Change The addition of AWWA (American Water Works Association) to this entry provides further clarification concerning the origination of the D100 code.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This is an editorial change and does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continues to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. This change is not a reduction in commitment.
7E.
Items XXIII.3-6, Offgas System:
Identification of the Changes:
Item XXIII.3, piping, the construction code was changed from USAS B31.7-1969 to 'ASME Section 111-1971'.
The following comment was added for Items XXIII.3 through 6:
Page 9 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description "The construction codes used for Offgas pipe, pumps, and valves were USAS B31.7; ASME Sections III and VIII; and the Draft Pump and Valve Code. To identify the correct code for a component it is necessary to research the receiving inspection files (File Q2.321).
There are two reasons that several codes and dates were applied. The first reason is that the Offgas design was changed during Procurement/Construction. The second reason is that the codes were changing rapidly during the'period of the design. The project correspondence which records when the Offgas System construction code was changed is given in APED-N62 076."
Reason for the Changes:
Multiple codes were used in the procurement/construction of the Offgas system. Only the most recent code (ASME Section 111-1971) is listed in UFSAR Table 3.2-1 under the construction code column. The complete explanation of the Offgas system construction codes can be found in the comments section as depicted by a 'Yes' in the comments column for Items XXIII.3 through XXIII.6.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change provides an additional level of detail regarding the code of construction for the Offgas system. This does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continues to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. This change is not a reduction in commitment.
7.F Item XXIII.5, Offgas System, Valves, Flow Control:
Identification of the Change Item XXIII.5, The Scope of Supply was changed from 'GE' to
'B'.
Reason for the Change The flow control valves for the Offgas system were actually supplied by Bechtel using material requisition specification 7884-M-131 AC.
Page 10 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The correction of the "Scope of Supply" for Item XXIII.5 does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC.
This change is not a reduction in commitment.
7.G Item XXIII.7, Offgas System, Mechanical Modules:
Identification of the Change The following changes have been made to this line item:
- 1)
The Principal Component description was changed from "Mechanical Modules with safety function" to "Mechanical modules".
- 2)
The "Offgas Stack Dilution Fans" were relocated from Item XXIII.7 to the Standby Gas Treatment System (XXXI.1). This relocation causes the following changes:
a)
Scope of Supply Changes from "GE/B" to "GE".
b)
The safety class changes from "Other/Other" to "other".
c)
The quality group class changes from "D/D+QA" to "D".
d)
The Quality Assurance Requirement changes from "D/B" to "D".
e)
The seismic category changes from "NA/I" to "NA".
f)
Reference to footnote lv is removed from XXIII.7 and the footnote itself deleted.
g)
The "Comment" in XXIII.7, pertaining to the Offgas Stack Dilution Fans is deleted.
Reason for the Change As part of the design basis reconstitution for DAEC, it was discovered that the Offgas stack dilution fans were originally designed to be part of the Standby Gas Treatment system, as documented in IE-72-236, letter from D. Flanagan of Iowa Electric, to S. Cott of Bechtel, dated 5-10-72. As previously explained in discussion with F. Maura of the NRC (Docket No. 50-331 G. Wright to L. Liu dated 11-5-92), this original design was changed due to the fact that the Offgas stack dilution fans were the only components with a safety Page 11 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description function.
It should be noted that the Offgas stack dilution fans have now been moved to the Standby Gas Treatment system (see change for Item XXXI).
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The Offgas Stack Dilution Fans and all requirements associated with them have only been relocated from Table 3.2-1 line item XXIII.7 to new line item XXXI.l.
This relocation did not alter any of the Quality Assurance Program Requirements applicable to the Mechanical Modules of the Offgas System. The removal of the words "with safety function" is consistent with the NRC letter of November 5, 1992, G. Wright to L. Liu.
These changes are not reductions in commitment. See Section XXXI.1 regarding Offgas Stack Dilution Fans.
7.H Item XXXI.1, Standby Gas Treatment System:
Identification of Changes:
The Offgas Stack Dilution Fans have been added to this entry (relocation from XXIII.7 above).
This relocation also includes the following changes for the Offgas Stack Dilution fans from the previous entry at XXIII.7:
- 1)
Principal component description a -been revised to include "including Offgas Stack Dilution Fans".
- 2)
Safety class "3" is now assigned to these fans (previously "other").
- 3)
Quality Group Class is now "blank" versus "D+QA" previously.
Reason for the Changes:
As reflected by 05/10/72 correspondence of IE-72-236, D.
Flanagan of Iowa Electric to S. Cott of Bechtel, the Offgas Stack Dilution Fans were originally designed as part of the Standby Gas Treatment System.
The Principal Component title change is a result of relocating the Offgas Stack Dilution Fans from Item XXIII.7 to this section.
Page 12 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description The Safety Class previously stated for these fans was in error. Safety Class "3" is the correct safety class per the original design and in support of the Standby Gas Treatment System, and as defined by UFSAR Section 3.2.
The Quality Group Classes are only applied to system piping and equipment pressure parts as defined in UFSAR Section 3.2.
Quality Group Class is not applicable to the Offgas Stack Dilution Fans.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The above changes to the Offgas Stack Dilution Fans correct the Safety Class and Quality Group Class consistent with UFSAR Section 3.2.
These changes do not affect the application of the 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B program to these components as previously defined in the Operational Quality Assurance Program and previously accepted by the NRC. These changes are not a reduction in commitments.
7.1 Item XXXVIII.2, MSIV Leakage Control, Piping and Valves, Other:
Identification of the Changes:
Item XXXVIII.2, The construction code of 'ASME Section III' was changed to 'ASME Section 111-1974'.
Reason for the Change:
The addition of the code date for this entry clarifies which particular code was used during procurement/construction.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change adds another level of detail regarding the specific year of the ASME Code to which these components were designed. This change does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continues to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. This change is not a reduction in commitment.
Page 13 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description 7.J Footnote "e":
Identification of the Change The middle sentence of Footnote 'e' has been deleted.
It read:
The inclusion of a system or structure within Seismic Category I does not mean the entire system or structure is Seismic Category I but rather that the system or structure has been evaluated and those portions that lie within the definition of Seismic Category I have been appropriately analyzed and protected for seismic response.
Reason for the Change For clarification and to avoid misinterpretation, this sentence was deleted as previously discussed with F. Maura of the NRC (Docket No. 50-331, G. Wright to L. Liu, date 11 5-92).
Any deviation from the Seismic Category I requirements for portions of structures or systems classified as Seismic Category I will be justified on an individual basis.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change is a clarification and does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continues to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. This change is consistent with the previous NRC letter of November 5, 1992, and is not a reduction in commitment.
7.K Comments XI.9(1)(6) and XII.9(1)(6):
Identification of the Change Comments XI 9(6) and XII 9(6) were revised to include "paragraph N624, and magnetic particle or liquid penetrant tested according to ASME Section III" in the following comment:
Butt welds were radiographed according to the ASME B&PV Code,Section III, 1968 Edition, "paragraph N624, and Page 14 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description magnetic particle or liquid penetrant tested according to ASME Section III", paragraph N626 or N627.
APED-A61-052, Comment 10 which is the reference for this comment was also added.
Reason for the Change This is an editorial change which corrects a portion of the comment omitted in the translation from the original source document.
The reference for this comment was given for additional clarity.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This is an editorial change and does not impact the application of the Quality Assurance Program Description as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continues to satisfy the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. This change is not a reduction in commitment.
- 8.
17.2.2.6 Indoctrination and Training:
Identification of Changes:
For operator training, the Plant Superintendent-Nuclear now has cognizance over this training along with the Manager, Nuclear Training.
For technical training, the Manager of Engineering now has cognizance over this training along with the Manager, Nuclear Training.
For radiation and safety training, the Radiation Protection Manager now has cognizance over this training along with the Manager of Nuclear Training.
Reason for the Changes:
These changes have been made to recognize the involvement of these functional managers in training personnel who work in the areas for which they are responsible.
Page 15 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The listing of the Manager of Engineering, Plant Superintendent-Nuclear and Radiation Protection as sharing responsibility for the training in their respective functional areas adds detail to what was provided previously. These changes are consistent with the responsibilities of these positions as defined in UFSAR Section 13.
These changes do not affect quality assurance program commitments as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and remain consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. These changes do not reduce any commitment.
- 9.
17.2.3.7 Design Changes Identification of the Change:
The title of section 17.2.3.7 is changed from "Design Changes" to "Changes to Design Documents".
Reason for the Change:
The new title more accurately describes the substance of section 17.2.3.7.
Basis for concluding that the change is acceptable under 10 CFR Part 50.54 (a)(3):
The change in title is an editorial change per 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3).
- 10.
17.2.3.8 Design Review Committees Identification of the Change:
The title of this section is revised from "Design Review Committee" to "Independent Review Committees".
The following information is deleted from this section:
"Design changes require a safety evaluation and concurrence by the Operations Committee. The Operations Committee shall bring to the attention of the Safety Committee those design changes that are deemed to involve an unreviewed safety Page 16 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description question, or are deemed to be inconsistent with the Technical Specifications."
Reason for the Change:
The revised title makes it clear that this section addresses the independent review committees.
The deletion is made because this material is an unnecessary duplication of the Technical Specifications section 6.5 and ANSI N18.7-1976 section 4.3.4 and creates confusion. The first sentence of section 17.2.3.8 already states the requirements of the technical specifications will be satisfied.
It is unnecessary to repeat the requirements in section 17.2.3.8.
The elimination of this material also eliminates any confusion between a "design change" and "change to the facility as described in the Safety Analysis Report."
ANSI N18.7-1976, Technical Specifications, and 10 CFR 50.59 all use the terminology of "change to the facility".
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The revised title to section 17.2.3.8 is an editorial change in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
As indicated above, the commitments contained in the material being removed continue to exist, ie, ANSI N18.7 section 4.3.4 and the DAEC Technical Specification section 6.5.
Specifically, the following comparisons are made:
17.2.3.8 previously stated:
"Design changes require a safety evaluation and concurrence by the Operations Committee."
DAEC Technical Specifications section 6.5.1.5.d states:
"The Operations Committee shall be responsible for:
(d) Review of all proposed changes or modifications to plant systems or equipment that affects nuclear safety."
Page 17 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description The other sentence removed from 17.2.3.8 states:
"The Operations Committee shall bring to the attention of the Safety Committee those design changes that are deemed to involve an unreviewed safety question, or are deemed to be inconsistent with the Technical Specification".
ANSI N18.7-1976 section 4.3.4(2) states: "The following subjects shall be reviewed by the independent review body:
(2) Proposed changes in...
the facility any of which involves a change in the technical specifications or an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59(c).
Matters of this kind shall be referred to the independent review body by the onsite operating organization following its review, or by other functional organizational units within the owner organization, prior to implementation.
This is also supported by the DAEC Technical Specifications section 6.5.2.7 which states:
"The Safety Committee shall be responsible for the review of:
(b) Proposed changes to procedures, equipment or systems which involve an unreviewed safety question as defined in Section 50.59, 10 CFR.
"Also Technical Specification 6.5.2.7(d) states:
"Proposed changes in Technical Specifications or licenses."
In conclusion, the requirements previously stated in section 17.2.3.8 continue to apply by virtue of the DAEC Technical Specifications and the commitment to ANSI N18.7-1976 as specified in UFSAR 17.2 Appendix A, section 6. This change has no affect on the quality assurance program requirements and is therefore not a reduction in commitment.

- 11.
17.2.4.5 Quality Assurance Department Review of Procurement Documents Identification of the Change:
Section 17.2.4.5 is deleted in its entirety.
It reads as follows:
"Procurement documents for safety related items and services are reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance Department for appropriate inclusion of quality requirements."
Former section 17.2.4.6 is also renumbered as 17.2.4.5.
Reason for the Change:
The review and approval of procurement documents by Quality Assurance personnel is an in-line review function. We have concluded that Quality Assurance's role reviewing procurement documents would be more appropriately performed through independent reviews and the performance of assessments. Elimination of this in-line review function from the quality assurance program description will facilitate the transition.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change is a reduction in commitment from that previously specified.
Compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion IV, "Procurement Document Control", is assured through UFSAR 17.2 sections 17.2.4.1 through 17.2.4.4. NRC approval of this change will permit Iowa Electric to begin the transition to remove Quality Assurance from the review and approval process of procurement documents and into assessing the performance of procurement document preparation. NRC approval of this change will permit the transition process to begin.

17.2.16.2 Conditions Adverse to Quality:
Identification of Change:
"Audits of vendors" has been revised to state "Audits of suppliers."
Reason for the Change:
This change has been made to achieve consistent usage throughout the document.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change is editorial only in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3).
This change is not a reduction in commitment.
- 13.
UFSAR Section 17.2.18.2.1, External Organizations:
Identification of Change:
The term "vendors" is replaced with the term "suppliers".
Reason for the Change:
The other sections of UFSAR 17.2 utilize the term "supplier" as opposed to the term "vendor".
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change is of an editorial nature only in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3).
This change is not a reduction in commitment.
- 14.
17.2.18.5 Report and Closeout of Audit Findings:
Identification of Change:
The fifth paragraph of this section states: "The corrective actions will be tracked to ensure that proper and timely corrective actions have occurred and that the audit report can be closed."
This section is revised to read as follows:
"The corrective actions will be tracked to ensure that proper and timely corrective actions have occurred prior to closure of the audit findings."
Page 20 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description Reason for the Change:
The "audit report" can be handled separately from the tracking and closure of the "audit findings."
The audit report has served its function once it is issued while the corrective actions will be completed over some period of time.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The purpose of the statement: "and that the audit report can be closed" was to focus on the need to keep the corrective action document open until the corrective actions have been completed. However, it is not necessary to keep the audit report open for that period of time if a tracking system separate from the audit report is utilized. This change is editorial.
The tracking of corrective actions until proper and timely corrective actions have occurred continues to be required. This change does not affect the quality assurance commitments as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC and continues to comply with the provisions of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
This change is not a reduction in commitment.
- 15.
UFSAR 17.2, Appendix A, Section 6.3 Identification of the Changes:
The sentence "Specifically, a Quorum at Safety Committee meetings shall consist of at least four members plus the Chairman or Vice Chairman" has been deleted from the end of paragraph 6.3.
Reason for the Changes:
The above change is incorporated as a result of NRC comment in the NRC letter of November 5, 1992, G. Wright to L. Liu.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change was made consistent with the comments provided in the above referenced letter of November 5, 1992.
This change was previously evaluated as acceptable by the NRC.

UFSAR 17.2 Appendix A, Section 6.8.:
Identification of the Change:
Appendix A to UFSAR 17.2 is revised by inserting a new section 6.8, and renumbering previous sections 6.8 and 6.9 as 6.9 and 6.10 respectively. The new section 6.8 modifies the DAEC commitment for the biennial review of procedures as follows:
ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 5.2.15 (Review, Approval and Control of Procedures), fourth paragraph states:
"Plant procedures shall be reviewed by an individual knowledgeable in the area affected by the procedure no less frequently than every two years to determine if changes are necessary or desirable."
This commitment is replaced by the following:
"Plant procedures shall be reviewed in accordance with the following to determine if changes are necessary or desirable:
- 1)
Non-routine procedures, such as emergency operating procedures, off-normal procedures, those that implement the emergency plan, and others where usage may be dictated by an event, shall be reviewed at least every two years by an individual knowledgeable in the area affected by the procedure.
- 2)
The procedures which have a frequency of use which exceeds two years, shall be reviewed prior to use, or every two years by an individual knowledgeable in the area affected by the procedure.
- 3)
Routine Plant Procedures which are not addressed by (1) and (2) above shall be maintained through use of the procedure revision process, as necessary or desirable changes are identified through use.
In addition, on a frequency not to exceed 2 years, an independent audit or assessment of Page 22 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description a representative sample of routine plant procedures shall be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure review and revision program.
Reason for the Change:
This change is made to utilize resources more effectively and at the same time maintain a high level of quality in the program for maintenance of our plant procedures.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change is categorized as a reduction in commitment since plant procedures which are of a routine nature will no longer require a separate biennial review. However, the controls specified above will continue to assure a high level of quality is maintained in the plant procedures. The controls specified above are also consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B for the control of procedures, including revisions thereto.
- 17.
UFSAR 17.2, Appendix A, Section 11:
11.6 Identification of Change (Clarification):
This clarification/exception currently recognizes the adoption of SNT-TC-1A-1980 as the standard by which nondestructive examination personnel will be qualified. An addition is made to this clarification/exception which states:
"In accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.147, ASME Code Case N-356, and Iowa Electric ASME Section XI Relief Request NDE-006, the recertification period for NDE Level III personnel shall be every five years as opposed to the previously specified 3 years as stated in SNT-TC-1A-1980, paragraph 9.7.1.
Reason for the Change:
Iowa Electric ASME Section XI Relief Request NDE-006 was previously reviewed and approved by the NRC but was not Page 23 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description recognized in the quality assurance program commitments in UFSAR 17.2, Appendix A.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 9 of April 1992 recognizes that the conditions of Code Case N-356 were adopted by the NRC on July 1, 1988.
Iowa Electric ASME Section XI Relief Request NDE-006 was approved by the NRC on September 16, 1988.
The incorporation of this Code Case and relief request into UFSAR 17.2 Appendix A does not reduce the quality assurance program commitments as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC because the change has previously been reviewed and approved by the NRC.
This change is not a reduction in commitment.
- 18.
UFSAR 17.2, Appendix A, Section 18:
18.4 Identification of Change (Clarification/Exception):
ANSI N45.2.12, Section 4.3.1, "Pre-Audit Conference",
states: "A brief pre-audit conference shall be conducted with cognizant organization management. The purpose of the conference shall be to confirm the audit scope, present the audit plan, introduce auditors, meet counterparts, discuss audit sequence and plans for the post audit conference, and establish channels of communications.
Two issues arise from that provision. First there is a conflict between the "shall" in ANSI N45.2.12, Section 4.3.1 and UFSAR Section 17.2.18.4 which uses a "should."
Secondly, an alternative to pre-audit conferences for internal audits is desired. These two issues are addressed by the addition below to UFSAR 17.2 Appendix A, Section 18.4:
The first sentence of the commitment to ANSI N45.2.12, Section 4.3.1 is changed to read:
"A brief pre-audit conference should be conducted with cognizant organization management."
Page 24 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description In addition, for internal audits, a pre-audit planning meeting may be substituted for the pre-audit conference.
The pre-audit planning meeting should accomplish the following:
- 1)
Obtain input on the subjects to be audited from the organization(s) to be audited.
- 2)
Finalize the audit plan as a result of the input obtained at this audit planning meeting.
- 3)
Introduce the Lead Auditor and identify the proposed audit team members. Those audit team members available will be introduced. Note:
Non-utility team members are usually not available at these meetings.
- 4)
Counterparts are invited to these audit planning meetings as part of the planning process.
- 5)
The Audit Schedule is presented, including a tentative exit date.
The final exit date is announced separately during the audit period.
- 6)
The channels of communication are opened at the audit planning meeting through participation in the audit planning process.
Reason for the Changes:
The "should" vs "shall" is clarified between UFSAR Section 17.2.18.4 and ANSI N45.2.12 Section 4.3.1.
The "should" contained in UFSAR 17.2 Appendix A Section 18.4 is now consistent with the previous 17.2.18.4.
The use of audit planning meetings as an alternative to pre audit conference meetings will more effectively utilize the time of management personnel.
We have used audit planning meetings for some time and they have proven to be quite beneficial in opening communications between the audited and auditing organizations and in focusing the audits on the areas of importance. The pre-audit conferences then become somewhat duplicative of the audit planning meeting.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
The use of the term "should" with reference to pre-audit conferences is consistent with the previous content of UFSAR Section 17.2.18.4 as previously reviewed and approved by the NRC. A similar argument could be presented that the NRC Page 25 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description previously approved the "shall" due to no exception or clarification being placed in UFSAR 17.2 Appendix A Section
- 18.
The use of audit planning meetings as an alternative to pre audit conferences is a slightly different approach to audits than reflected by the existing commitment to ANSI N45.2.12 1977.
This change is considered a change in commitment but will not reduce the effectiveness of the operational quality assurance program. This change is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B criteria XVIII, Audits, which requires a comprehensive system of planned and periodic audits be carried out to verify compliance with all aspects of the quality assurance program and to determine the effectiveness of the program.
These changes will not be placed into effect until NRC review and approval is obtained.
- 19.
UFSAR SECTION 17.2, APPENDIX A, SECTION 19, Paragraph 19.3:
Identification of the Change:
ANSI N45.2.23-1978, Section 2.3.4, "Audit Participation",
states:
"The prospective Lead Auditor shall have participated in a minimum of five (5) quality assurance audits within a period of time not to exceed three (3) years prior to the date of qualification, one audit of which shall be a nuclear quality assurance audit within the year prior to his qualification."
As an alternative to ANSI N45.2.23 -
1978Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI N45.2.23 -</br></br>1978" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process., Section 2.3.4, "Audit Participation" the following may be applied:
"The prospective Lead Auditor shall have participated in a minimum of two (2) nuclear quality assurance audits within a period of time not to exceed one (1) year prior to the date of qualification."
This participation shall be at an equivalent level as a Lead Auditor, but under the supervision of a Lead Auditor.
This includes responsibility for implementation of the audit process (i.e., planning, meetings, conduct Page 26 of 27 Discussion of Changes to NG-93-2180 In the Quality Assurance Program Description reporting, etc) and shall result in satisfactory performance as determined by management.
Reason for the Change:
ANSI N45.2.23 -
1978Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI N45.2.23 -</br></br>1978" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process., "Qualification of QA Program Audit Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" addresses the following elements for qualification of personnel as Lead Auditors as defined in Section 2.3:
2.3.1 Education and Experience 2.3.2 Communication Skill 2.3.3 Training 2.3.4 Audit Participation 2.3.5 Examination Section 2.3.4 requires "participation" in five (5) audits.
The level of responsibility for implementing the audit process exercised by an individual can vary greatly depending on his/her assignment in a particular audit.
For personnel who participate in two audits at the same level of responsibility as the Lead Auditor (i.e., the trainee performs all activities for the audit, including preparation of the audit plan and checklist, leads the audit under a Lead Auditors supervision, leads the pre-and post-audit conferences and is held responsible for the written report),
the process and skills of auditing may be adequately demonstrated. A minimum of 2 audits at this level of participation are deemed necessary for the trainee to demonstrate the audit process and their skills to management to make a good judgement on qualification. Participating at this level for five audits may be unnecessary depending on the individuals capabilities.
Basis for Concluding That The Change Is Acceptable Under 10 CFR Part 50.54(a)(3).
This change is a reduction in commitment but is consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, criterion II, which requires indoctrination and training of personnel performing activities affecting quality as necessary to assure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.
This change will not be placed into effect until NRC review and approval is obtained.

1 The design and construction specifications for the hydraulic control unit (HCU) do invoke such codes and standards as can be reasonably applied to individual parts in developing required quality levels, but these codes and standards are supplemented with additional requirements for these parts and for the remaining parts and details.
For example: (1) all welds are liquid-penetrant inspected; (2) alt socket welds are checked for minimum engagement and and gap between pipe and socket bottom by a marking technique; (3) all welding was performed by qualified welders; (4)all work was done per written procedures.
The following examples are typical of the problem associated with codes designed to control field-asseabled comporants wdhen applied to the design and production of factory fabricated specialty components: **1.
The HCU nitrogen gas bottle is a spun forging that is mechanically joined to the accumulator.
It stores the energy required to scram a drive at low vessel pressure.
It has been code stamped since its introduction in 1966, although its size exempts it from mandatory stamping.
It is constructed of a material listed by the ASHE BAPV Code,Section VIII, that was selected for its strength and formability.
- 2. The scram accumulator is joined to the HCU by a split flange joint chosen for its compact design to facilitate both assembly and maintenance.
Both the design and construction conform to the 931.1.0 10 piping code.
This joint, which requires a design pressure of 1750 psig, has been proof tested to 10,000 pal.
- 3. The accumulator nitrogen shutoff valve is a 6.000 pal cartridge valve whose copper alloy material is listed In the ASHE BAPV Code, Section ViII.
The valve was chosen for this service partly because it is qualified by the U.S. Navy for submarine service.
- 4.
The directional control valves are solenoid pilot-operated valves that are subplate mounted on the HCU.
The valve has a body specialty designed for the NCU, but the operating parts are identical to a commercial valve with a proven history of satisfactory service.
The pressure retaining parts are stainless steel alloys chosen for service, fabrication and magnetic properties.
The manufacturer cannot substitute a code material for that used for the solenoid core tube.
The foregoing examples are not ment to justify one pressure integrity quality level or another, but to demonstrate that the codes and standards invoked by those quality levels are not strictly applicable to special equipment and part designs.
Group D classification is generally applicable because the codes and standards invoked by that classification contain clauses that permit the use of manufacturer's standards and proven design techniques that are not explicitly defined within those codes.
This was supplemented by the quality control techniques described above.

2 Bechtel built these items to ASNE Class 2 standards, based on the piping classes given on the PID (see paragraph 3.2.7).
However, based on the CA classification of these item, they should have been Class 3. The higher class is shown on this table, although Class 3 is justifiable and would make more sense with the GA Group 0 designation.

The following examples are typical of the problems associated with codes designed to control field-assembled components when applied to the design and production of factory fabricated specialty components: **1.
The NU nitrogen gas bottle is a spun forging that is mechanically joined to the accsuulator.
It stores the energy required to scram a drive at low vessel pressure.
It has 10 been code.steeped since its introduction in 1966, although its size exempts it from mandatory stamping.
It is constructed of a material listed by the ASNE B&PV Code,Section VIII, that was selected for its strength and formability.
- 2. The scram accumulator is joined to the HCU by a split flange joint chosen for its compact design to facilitate both asseobly and maintenance.
Both the design and construction conform to the 631.1.0 piping code.
This joint, which requires a design pressure of 1750 psig, has been proof tested to 10,000 pal. **3.
The accumulator nitrogen shutoff valve is a 6,000 psi cartridge valve whose copper alloy material is listed In the ASNE BAPV Code, Section Vill.
The valve was chosen for this service partly because it is qualified by the U.S. -Navy for submarine service.
- 4. The directional control valves are solenoid pi(ot-operated valves that are subptate mounted on the HCU.
The valve has a body specially designed for the HCU, but the operating parts are identical to a commercial valve with a proven history of satisfactory service.
The pressure retaining parts are stainless steel alloys chosen for service, fabrication and magnetic properties.
The manufacturer cannot substitute a code material for that used for the solenoid core tube.
The foregoing examples are not mant to justify one pressure integrity quality level or another, but to demonstrate that the codes and standards invoked by those quality levels are not strictly applicable to special equipment and part designs.

The valve was chosen for this service prtly because it is qualified by the U.S. Navy for subsrine service.
- 4. The directional control valves are solenoid pilot-operated valves that are subplate mounted on the NCU.
The valve has a body specially designed for the MCU, but the operating parts are identical to a commerciat valve with a proven history of satisfactory service.
The pressure retaining parts are stainless steel alloys chosen for service, fabrication and magnetic properties.
The manufacturer cannot substitute a code material for that used for the solenoid core tube.
The foregoing examples are not meant to justify one pressure integrity quality level or another, but to demonstrate that the codes and standards invoked by those quality levels are not strictly applicable to special equipment and part designs.
Group D classification is generally applicable because the codes and standards invoked by that classification contain clauses that permit the use of manufacturer's standards and proven design techniques that are not explicitly defined within those codes.
This was supplemented by the quality control techniques described above.

1 The construction codes used for Offgas pipe, pumps, and valves were USAS B31.7; ASME Sections III and VIII; and the Draft Pump and Valve Code. To identify the correct code for a component it is necessary to research the receiving inspection files (File Q2.321).
There are two reasons that several codes and dates were applied. The first reason is that the Offgas design was changed during Procurement/Construction. The second reason is that the codes were changing rapidly during the period of the design. The project correspondence which records when the Offgas System construction code was changed is given in APED-N62-076.
