Minor Modification (MM), or Request for Change (RFC).Those that do not alter the intended function of the item and can be determined by judgement to have a minimal overall impact on the item being modified may be implemented via the MN process.All other safety-related design changes, that are not appropriate for MN processing, are implemented via the RFC process.In cases where design changes could be deemed to be within the scope of RFCs or MNs solely due to possible insignificant adverse seismic effects, the change may be implemented via the Plant Modification (PM)process.In the case where safety-related items are involved and the change introduces only insignificant adverse seismic effects, the change may be implemented via the Plant Modification (PN)process.1.7.3.2.2 Design changes are reviewed to determine their impact on nuclear safety and to determine if the proposed changes involve an unreviewed safety question as defined by 10CFR50.59.
Thecontrolsapplytopreparation andreviewofdesigndocuments, including thecorrecttranslation ofapplicable regulatory requirements anddesignbasesintodesign,procurement andprocedural documents.
If a design change were to involve an unreviewed safety question, it would not be approved for implementation until the required NRC approval was received.RFCs (except those requiring emergency processing), NMs and PNs (having only insignificant seismic effect on safety-related items)are reviewed and approved prior to implementation, as a minimum, by the cognizant AEPSC section and plant manager.The PHSRC also reviews those RFCs, 1.7-38 July, 1994 NNs, and PNs for which safety evaluations are deemed necessary, pursuant to 10CFR50.59 and Technical Specification 6.5.1.6.1.7.3.2.3 For RFCs, the Change Control Board established within AEPSC provides an additional review and approval level.The Change Control Board is comprised of members of the nNci'ear engineering, nuclear supporri set~gsc'es;:

Exce tion Inter retation ISM initiates appropriate corrective action when it is discovered that documentary evidence does not exist for a test or inspection which is a 1.7-100 July, 1994 JL e 0 requirement to verify equipment acceptability.
2g.Sec.5.2.2"Temporary changes,whichclearlydonotchangetheintentoftheapprovedprocedure, shallasaminimumbeapprovedbytwomembersoftheplantstaffknowledgeable intheareasaffectedbytheprocedures.
This action includes a technical evaluation of the equipment's operability status.2i.Sec.5.2.~ll"A surveillance testing and inspection program...shall include the establishment of a master surveillance schedule reflecting the status of all planned in-plant surveillance tests and inspections." Exce tion Inter retation Separate master schedules may exist for different programs, such as ISI, pump and valve testing, and Technical Specification surveillance testing.2j.Sec.5.2.13.1~ll"To the extent necessary, procurement documents shall require suppliers to provide a (}uality Assurance Program consistent with the pertinent requirements of ANSI N45.2-1977." Exce tion Inter retation To the extent necessary, procurement documents require that the supplier has a documented guality Assurance Program consistent with the pertinent requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B;ANSI N45.2;or other nationally recognized codes and standards.
Atleastoneoftheseindividuals shallbethesupervisor inchargeoftheshiftandholdasenioroperator's licenseontheunitaffected."
2k.Sec.5.2.13.2 ANSI N18.7 and N45.2.13 specify that where required by code, regulation, or contract, documentary evidence that items conform to procurement requirements shall be available at the nuclear power plant site prior to installation or use of such it ms.Exce tion Inter retation The required documentary evidence is available at he site prior to use, but not necessarily prior to installation.
ExcetionInterretationI&Kconsiders thatthisrequirement appliesonlytoprocedures identified inplantTechnical Specifications.
This allows installation to 1.7-101 Duly, 1994 proceed while any missing documents are being obtained, but precludes dependence on the item for safety purposes.21.Sec.5.2.15"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',f changes are necessary or desirable." Exce tion Inter retation Biennial reviews are not performed in that 1&8 has programmatic control requirements in place that make the biennial review process redundant from a regulatory perspective.
Temporary changestotheseprocedures shallbeapprovedasdescribed inplantTechnical Specifications.
These programmatic controls were effected in an effort to ensure that plant instructions and procedures are reviewed for possible revision when pertinent source material is revised, therefore maintaining the procedures current.We believe that this approach, in addition to an annual random sampling of procedures, better addresses the intent of the biennial review process and is more acceptable from both a technical and practical perspective than a static two-year review process.2m.Sec.5.2.16 Records shall be made, and equipment suitably marked, to indicate calibration status.Exce tion Inter retation See Item 6b.1.7-102 July, 1994 2n.Sec.5.3.5(4)This section requires that where sections of documents such as vendor manuals, operating and maintenance instructions, or drawings are incorporated directly, or by reference into a maintenance procedure, they shal'l receive the same level of review and appt oval as operating procedures.

Exce tion Inter retation Such documents are reviewed by appropriately qualified personnel prior to use to ensure that, when used as instructions, they provide proper and adequate'nformation to ensure the required quality of work.Maintenance procedures which reference these documents receive the same level of review and approval as operating procedures.

Factors considered in developing the procedures and instructions include cleanliness control, personnel safety, fire prevention and protection, radiation control and security.The procedures and instructions make use of standard janitorial and work practices to the extent possible.However, in preparing these procedures, consideration is also given to the recommendations of Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.3.1.7-106 July, 1994 S Ij 6.N45.2.4, 6a.Sec.2.2 Section 2.2 establishes prerequisites which must be met before the installation, inspections and testing of instrumentation and electrical equipment may proceed.These prerequisites include personnel qualification, control of design, conforming and protected materials and availability of specified documents.

Exce tion Inter retation ILM uses the requirements of N18.7, Section 5.2.16, rather than N45.2.5, Section 2.5.2.The N18.7 requirements are more applicable to an operating plant.7b, Sec.5.4~R"Hand torque wrenches used for inspection shall be controlled and must be calibrated at least weekly and more often if deemed necessary.

ga.C.2.a(7)Regulatory Guide 1.58 endorses the guidelines of SNT-TC-1A as an acceptable method of training and certifying personnel conducting leak tests.Exce tion Inter retation IKN takes the position that the"Level" designation guidelines as recommended in SNT-TC-1A, paragraph 4 do not necessarily assure adequate leak test capability.
Theprocedures andinstructions makeuseofstandardjanitorial andworkpractices totheextentpossible.
ISN maintains that departmental supervisors are best able to judge whether engineers and other personnel are qualified to direct and/or perform leak tests.Therefore, I&N does not implement the recommended"Level" designation guidelines.
However,inpreparing theseprocedures, consideration isalsogiventotherecommendations ofSection2.1ofANSIN45.2.3.1.7-106July,1994 SIj 6.N45.2.4,6a.Sec.2.2Section2.2establishes prerequisites whichmustbemetbeforetheinstallation, inspections andtestingofinstrumentation andelectrical equipment mayproceed.Theseprerequisites includepersonnel qualification, controlofdesign,conforming andprotected materials andavailability ofspecified documents.
It is I&M's opinion that the training guidelines of SNT-TC-lA, Table I-G, paragraph 5.2 specifically are oriented towards the basic physics involved in leak testing, and further, towards individuals who are not graduate engineers.

The preparation of leak test procedures and the conduct of leak tests at Cook Nucleai Plant is under the direct supervision of performance engineers who hold engineering degrees from accredited engineering schools.The basic physics of leak testing have been incorporated into the applicable test procedures.

9.Re.Guide1.58-Generalgualification ofnuclearpowerplantinspection, examination andtestingpersonnel.
ILK does recognize the need to assure that individuals involved in leak tests are fully cognizant of leak test procedural requirements and thoroughly familiar with the test equipment involved.Plant performance engineers receive routine, informal orientation on testing programs to ensure that these individuals fully understand the requirements of performing a leak test.9b.C5, CG, C7, C8, C10 Exce tion Inter retation IM takes the position that the classification of inspection, examination and test personnel (inspection personnel) into"Levels" based on the requirements stated in Section 3.0 of ANSI N45.2.6 does not necessarily assure adequate inspection capability.
ga.C.2.a(7)Regulatory Guide1.58endorsestheguidelines ofSNT-TC-1A asanacceptable methodoftrainingandcertifying personnel conducting leaktests.ExcetionInterretationIKNtakesthepositionthatthe"Level"designation guidelines asrecommended inSNT-TC-1A, paragraph 4donotnecessarily assureadequateleaktestcapability.
ISN maintains that departmental and first line supervisors are best able to judge the inspection capability of the personnel under their supervision, and that"Level" classification would require an overly burdensome administrative work load, could inhibit inspection activities, and provides no assurance of inspection capabilities.
ISNmaintains thatdepartmental supervisors arebestabletojudgewhetherengineers andotherpersonnel arequalified todirectand/orperformleaktests.Therefore, I&Ndoesnotimplement therecommended "Level"designation guidelines.
Therefore, ILK does not implement the"Level" classification concept for inspection, examination and test personnel.
ItisI&M'sopinionthatthetrainingguidelines ofSNT-TC-lA, TableI-G,paragraph 5.2specifically areorientedtowardsthebasicphysicsinvolvedinleaktesting,andfurther,towardsindividuals whoarenotgraduateengineers.
The methodology under which inspections, examinations and tests are conducted at the Cook Nuclear Plant requires the involvement of first line supervisors, engineering-personnel, departmental supervisors and plant management.
ISNmaintains thatitmeetstheessenceofthesetrainingguidelines.
In essence, the last seven (7)project functions shown in Table I to ANSI N45.2.6 are assigned to supervisory and engineering personnel, and not to personnel of the inspector category.These management supervisory and engineering personnel, as a minimum, meet the educational and experience requirements of"Level II and Level III" personnel, as required, to meet the criteria of ANSI 18.I which exceeds those of ANSI N45.2.6.In IRN's opinion, no useful purpose is served by 1.7-110 July, 1994 classification of management, supervisory and engineering personnel into"Levels." Therefore, I&M takes the following positions relative to regulatory positions C5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 of Regulatory Guide 1.58.C-5 C-6 Based on the discussion in 9b, this position is not applicable to the Cook Nuclear Pla~t.Replacement personnel for Cook Nuclear Plant management, supervisory and engineering positions subject to ANSI 18.1 will meet the educational and experience requirements of ANSI 18.I and therefore, those of ANSI N45.2.6.Replacement inspection personnel will, as a minimum, meet the educational and experience requirements of ANSI N45.2.6, Section 3.5.1-"Level I." C-7 I&M, as a general practice, complies with the training recommendations as set forth in this regulatory position.C-8 All I&M inspection, examination and test personnel are instructed in the normal course of employee training in radiation protection and the means to minimize radiation dose exposure.C-10 I&M maintains documentation to show that inspection personnel meet the minimum requirements of"Level I," and that management, supervisory and engineering personnel meet the minimum requirements of ANSI 18.1.10.N45.2.8, 10a.Sec.2.9e Section 2.9e of N45.2.8.lists documents relating to the specific stage of installation activity which are to be available at the construction site.1.7-111 July, 1994

management/supervisory personnel receive functional training to the level necessary to plan, coordinate and administer the day-to-day verification activities of the gA Program for which they are responsible.

Training of AEPSC and Cook Nuclear Plant personnel is performed employing the following techniques, as applicable:

1)on the job and formal training administered by the department or section the individual works for;2)formal training conducted by qualified instructors from the Cook Nuclear Plant training department or other entities (internal and external to the AEP System);and 3)formal, INPO accredited training conducted by the Cook Nuclear Plant training department.

Records of training sessions for such training are maintained.

Where personnel 1.7-36 July, 1994 h t g I qualifications or certifications are required, these certifications are performed on a scheduled basis (consistent with the appropriate code or standard).

Cook Nuclear Plant employees receive introductory training in quality assurance usually within the first two weeks of employment.

In addition, AEPSC personnel receive training prior to being allowed unescorted access to the plant.This training includes management's policy for implementation of the gA program through plant manager and department head instructions and procedures.

These instructions also include a description of the gA program, the use of instructions and procedures, personnel requirements for procedure compliance and the systems and components controlled by the gA program.1.7.3 1.7.3.1 DESIGN CONTROL SCOPE Design changes are accomplished in accordance with approved design.Activities to develop such designs are controlled.

Depending on the type of design change, these activities include design and field engineering; the performance of physics, seismic, stress, thermal, hydraulic and radiation evaluations; update of the FSAR;review of accident analyses;the development and control of associated computer programs;studies of material compatibility; accessibility for inservice inspection and maintenance; determination of quality standards; and requirement for equipment qualification.

The controls apply to preparation and review of design documents, including the correct translation of applicable regulatory requirements and design bases into design, procurement and procedural documents.

1.7-37 July, 1994 1.7.3.2 IHPLENEKfATION 1.7.3.2.1 Design changes are controlled by procedures and instructions and are reviewed as required by 10CFR50.59 and the Technical Specifications.

Safety-related design changes are accomplished by one of two separate processes:

Minor Modification (MM), or Request for Change (RFC).Those that do not alter the intended function of the item and can be determined by judgement to have a minimal overall impact on the item being modified may be implemented via the MN process.All other safety-related design changes, that are not appropriate for MN processing, are implemented via the RFC process.In cases where design changes could be deemed to be within the scope of RFCs or MNs solely due to possible insignificant adverse seismic effects, the change may be implemented via the Plant Modification (PM)process.In the case where safety-related items are involved and the change introduces only insignificant adverse seismic effects, the change may be implemented via the Plant Modification (PN)process.1.7.3.2.2 Design changes are reviewed to determine their impact on nuclear safety and to determine if the proposed changes involve an unreviewed safety question as defined by 10CFR50.59.

If a design change were to involve an unreviewed safety question, it would not be approved for implementation until the required NRC approval was received.RFCs (except those requiring emergency processing), NMs and PNs (having only insignificant seismic effect on safety-related items)are reviewed and approved prior to implementation, as a minimum, by the cognizant AEPSC section and plant manager.The PHSRC also reviews those RFCs, 1.7-38 July, 1994 NNs, and PNs for which safety evaluations are deemed necessary, pursuant to 10CFR50.59 and Technical Specification 6.5.1.6.1.7.3.2.3 For RFCs, the Change Control Board established within AEPSC provides an additional review and approval level.The Change Control Board is comprised of members of the nNci'ear engineering, nuclear supporri set~gsc'es;:

and EA organizations within AEPSC, and is supplemented by other AEPSC organizations or individuals, as required.The cognizant member of the Change Control Board assigns a lead engineer for each RFC.The lead engineer is responsible for coordinating the RFC activities within AEPSC and maintaining close interface with AEPSC site engineering support project engineering.

1.7.3.2.4 Proposed RFCs which require emergency processing are originated at the plant, reviewed by the PNSRC, and approved by the plant manager.Cook Nuclear Plant management then contacts the AEPSC nUcVeai,:;:,isuPdforsb s'ei~vicesii'departmehg, and other AEPSC management, as required, describes the change requested and ,implements the change only after receiving verbal AEPSC management authorization to proceed.These reviews and approvals are documented and become a part of the RFC Packet.).7.3.2.5 Mhen RFCs or HNs involve design interfaces between internal or external design organizations, or across technical disciplines, these interfaces are controlled.

Procedures are used for the review, approval, release, distribution and revision of documents involving design interfaces to ensure that structures, systems and components are compatible geometrically and functionally with processes and the environment.

Lines of communication are established for controlling the flow of 1.7-39 July, 1994

needed design information across design inter faces, including changes to the information as work progresses.

Decisions and problem resolutions involving design interfaces are made by the AEPSC organization having responsibility for engineering direction of the design effort.1.7.3.2.6 Checks are performed and documented to verify the dimensional accuracy and completeness of design drawings and specifications.

.1.7.3.2.7 RFC design document packages are audited by AEPSC gA to assure that the documents have been prepared, verified, reviewed and approved in accordance with company procedures.

1.7.3.2.8 The extent of;and methods for, design verification are documented.

The extent of'esign verification performed is a function of the importance of the item to safety, design complexity, degree of standardization, the state-of-the-art, and similarity with previously proven designs.methods for design verification include evaluation of the applicability of standardized or previously proven designs, alternate calculations, qualification testing and design reviews.These methods may be used singly or in combination, depending on the needs for the design under consideration.

when design verification is done by evaluating standardized or previously proven designs, the applicability of such designs is confirmed.

Any differences from the proven design are documented and evaluated for the intended'pplication.

1.7-40 July, 1994 gualification testing of prototypes, components, or features is used when the ability of an item to perform an essential safety function cannot otherwise be adequately substantiated.

This testing is performed before plant equipment installation, where possible, but always before reliance upon the item to perform a safety-related function.gualification testing is performed under conditions that simulate the most adverse design conditions, considering all relevant operating modes.Test requirements, procedures and results are documented.

Results are evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied.

Design changes shown to be necessary through testing are made, and any necessary retesting or other verification is performed.

Test configurations are clearly documented.

p Design reviews are performed by multi-organizational or interdisciplinary groups, or by single individuals.

Criteria are established to determine'when a formal group review is required, and when review by an individual is sufficient.

Procedures require that minor design changes accomplished by the MM process also receive formal design verification.

Applicable desi9n verification activities shall be completed prior to declaring the design change, or portion thereof, operational.

1.7.3.2.9 Persons representing applicable technical disciplines are assigned to perform design verifications.

These persons are qualified by appropriate education or experience, but are not directly responsible for the design.The designer's immediate supervisor may perform the verification, provided that: 1)The supervisor is the only technically qualified individual.

2)or The supervisor has not specified a singular design approach, ruled out design considerations, nor established the design inputs.1.7-41 July, 1994 I

and 3)The need is documented and approved by the supervisor's management.

Cl Regularly scheduled gA audits verify conformance to previous items 1 through 3.Design verification on safety-related design changes shall be completed prior to declaring a design change, or portions thereof, operational.

1.7.3.2.10 Implementation of design changes is coordinated'n site by AEPSC site engineering support project engineering.

Haterial to perform the design change must meet the specifications established for the original system, or as specified by the lead engineer.For those design changes where testing after completion is required, the testing documentation is reviewed by the organization performing the test and, when specified, by the AEPSC lead engineer or other cognizant engineer(s).

Further, completed design changes are audited/surveilled by AEPSC gA following installation and testing.1.7.3.2.11 Changes to design documents, including field changes, are reviewed, approved and controlled in a manner commensurate with that'used for the original design.Such changes are evaluated for impact.Information on approved changes is transmitted to all affected organizations.

1.7.3.2.12 Error and defi ci enci es in, and devi ati ons from, approved desi gn~documents are identified and dispositioned in accordance with established design control and/or corrective action procedures.

1.7-42 July, 1994 1.7.3.2.13 Established 1)2)3)4)5)6)7)design control procedures provide for: controlled submission of design changes, engineering evaluation, review for impact on nuclear safety, audit by AEPSC gA, design modification, AEPSC managerial review, and approval and record keeping for the implemented design change.1.7.4 1.7.4.1 PROCUREMENT DOCUMENT CONTROL SCOPE Procurement documents define the characteristics of item(s)to be procured, identify applicable regulatory and industry codes/standards requirements, and specify supplier gA Program requirements to the extent necessary to assure adequate quality.1.7.4.2 IMPLEMENTATION 1.7.4.2.1 Procurement control is established by instructions and procedures.

These documents require that p~r'oc'ur'ement'ocuments be sufficiently detailed to ensure that purchased safety-related items and services are: 1)purchased to specification and code requirements equivalent to those of the original equipment or service (except when the Code of Federal Regulations requires upgrading), 2)properly documented to show compliance with the applicable specifications, codes and standards, and 3)purchased from vendors or contractors who have been evaluated and deemed qualified, or by the commercial grade dedication process.1.7-43 July, 1994 Procedures establish the review of procurement documents to determine that: appropriate technical and quality requirements are correctly stated, inspectable and controllable; there are adequate acceptance criteria;and procurement documents have been prepared, reviewed and approved in accordance with established requirements.

The manager of the originating group, with support of the cognizant AEPSC engineering group, is responsible for assuring that applicable requirements are set forth in procurement documents.

The Cook Nuclear Plant may request assistance of AEPSC cognizant engineers in any procurement activity.1.7.4.2.2 The Facility Data Base, in conjunction with other sources, is used for equipment safety classification and procurement grade.AEPSC specifications are used to determine requirements, codes or standards that items must fulf'ill, and define the documentation that must accompany the item to the plant.Procurement documents for safety-related items and services are reviewed to ensure that: correct classification is made;the requirements are properly stated;and that measures have been, or will be, implemented to assure the requirements are met and adequately provided for..pr~ocenpri en~d ts~aom cnentfsor new safety-related items are initiated by the cognizant engineering group which establishes initial requirements.

Replacement/spares are purchased to requirements equivalent to the original unless upgrading is required by'federal~j'egulations, or deemed necessary by the cognizant engineering group.1.7-44 July, 1994 1.7.4.2.3The contents of procurement documents vary, according to the item(s)being purchased and its function(s) in the Cook Nuclear Plant.Provisions of this gAPD are considered for application to service contractors, also.As applicable, procurement documents include: a)Scope of work to be performed.

b)Technical requirements, with applicable drawings, specifications, c)d)e)g)h)codes and standards identified by title, document number, revision and date, with any required procedures, such as special process instructions identified in such a way as to indicate source and need.Imposition of guides/standards on AEPSC/IRK suppliers and subtier suppliers will be on a case-by-case basis depending upon the item or service to be supplied and upon the degree that AEPSC/IQl relies on suppliers to invoke guides/standards.

AEPSC/I&K recognizes that certain suppliers have acceptable 1OCFR50, Appendix B gA programs, even%~h~o'Ug , the suppliers are not committed to Regulatory Guides or industry standards (e.g.ANSI N45.2.6.).

In those cases, in which suppliers are not committed to the same guides/standards as AEPSC/I&K, AEPSC/IM will assure that (1)the supplier's gA program provides adequate gA controls, regardless of the lack of specific commitment, or (2)controls will be invoked directly by AEPSC/IRK to assure adequate quality of items/services received by suppliers.

Regulatory, administrative and reporting requirements.

guality requirements appropriate to the complexity and scope of the work, including necessary tests and/or inspections.

A requirement for a documented gA Program, subject to gA review and written concurrence prior to the start of work.A requirement for the supplier to invoke applicable quality requirements on subtier suppliers.

Examples of"In Hand" procedures are those developed for extensive or complex jobs where 1.7-48 July, 1994

reliance on memory cannot be trusted.Further, those procedures which describe a sequence which cannot be altered, or require the documentation of data during the course of the procedure, are considered."In Hand" procedures are designated as such by double asterisks (**)which precede the procedure number on the cover sheet, all pages and attachments of a procedure and the corresponding index.1.7.6 1.7.6.1 DOCUNENT CONTROL SCOPE Documents controlling activities within the scope defined in 1.7.2 herein are issued and changed according to established procedures.

Documents such as instructions, procedures and drawings, including changes thereto, are reviewed for adequacy, approved for release by authorized personnel, and are distributed and used at the location where a prescribed activity is performed.

Changes to controlled documents are reviewed and approved by the same organizations that performed the original review and approval, or by other qualified, responsible organizations specifically designated in accordance with the procedures governing these documents.

Obsolete or superseded documents are controlled to prevent inadvertent use.1.7.6.2 1.7.6.2.1 INP LEHENTATION Controls are established for approval, issue and change of documents in the following categories:

a)Design documents (e.g., calculations, specifications, analyses)b)Drawings and related documents c)Procurement documents d)Instructions and procedures e)Updated Final Safety Ana'lysis Report (UFSAR)f)Plant Technical Specifications g)Safeguards documents 1.7-49 July, 1994 The review, approval, issuance and change of documents are controlled by: a)Establishment of criteria to ensure that adequate technical and quality requirements are incorporated.

b)Identification of the organization responsible for review, approval, issue and maintenance.

c)Review of changes to documents by the organization that performed the initial review and approval, or by the organization designated in accordance with the procedure e governing the review and approval of specific types of documents.

1.7.6.2.3 Documents are issued and controlled so that: a)The documents are available prior to commencing work.b)Obsolete documents are replaced by current documents in a timely manner.1.7.6.2.4 Raster lists, or equivalent controls, are used to identify the current revision of instructions, procedures, specifications and drawings.These control documents are updated and distributed to designated personnel who are responsible for maintaining current copies of the applicable documents.

The distribution of controlled documents is performed under procedures requiring receipt acknowledgement and in accordance with established distribution lists.1.7-50 July, 1994 1.7.6.2.5 In the event a drawing is developed on-site to reflect an as-built configuration,'he marked-up drawing is maintained in the Raster Plant File and all holders of the drawing are issued appropriate notification to inform them the revision they hold is not current, cannot be used and, if'equired, reference must be made to the Waster Plant File drawing.1.7.6.2.6 Documents prepared for use in training are appropriately marked to indicate that they cannot be used to operate or maintain the facH ity or to conduct activities affecting the quality of safety-related items.At the Cook Nuclear Plant, unless a document is identified as'controlled'r

'working copy'nly, it is automatically assumed that the document is for information use only.1.7.7 1.7.7.1 CONTROL OF PURCHASED ITEN AND SERVICES SCOPE Activities that implement approved procurement requests for items and services are controlled to assure conformance with procurement document requirements.

Controls include a system of supplier evaluation and selection audits, acceptance of items and documentation upon delivery,~and periodic assessment of supplier performance.

Objective evidence of quality that demonstrates conformance with specified procurement document requirements is available to the Cook Nuclear Plant site prior to use of equipment, material, or services.1.7.7.2 1.7.7.2.1 IHPLENENTATION AEPSC qualifies suppliers (including distributors to the extent they perform quality related activities) by perfor ming a documented 1.7-51 July, 1994 evaluation of their capability to provide items or services specified by procurement documents.

Items and services designated as safety-related are purchased from suppliers whose gA programs have been accepted in accordance with AEPSC requirements, or from commercial grade suppliers through the AEPSC dedication program.Suppliers of other items/services are subject to evaluation and approval-based on acceptance criteria applicable to those items/services.

gualification of such suppliers is determined by the AEPSC gA 8epietme04.

In the discharge of this responsibility, the AEPSC gA deji$tgen$may use information generated by other utilities.

The supplier must be approved before procurement can be completed.

AEPSC is a member of the Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee (NUPIC), participates in joint supplier audits, and shares audit information consistent with NUPIC requirements.

The supplier must be acceptable, or acceptable subject to follow-up, before a procurement can be approved and processed.

Additional audits will be conducted, as necessary, to meet requirements.

Acceptance is not complete until it has been determined that the suppliers'A program can meet the requirements for the item(s)/service(s) offered.1.7.7.2.2 For items that are not unique to a nuclear power plant (" Commercial 4"!h mi~i!i%"':-:.'.':e!!:

1.7.7.2.4 Spare and replacement parts are procured in such a manner that their performance and quality are at least equivalent to those of'he parts that will be replaced.a)Specifications and codes referenced in procurement documents for spare or replacement items are at least equivalent to those for the original items or to properly reviewed and approved revisions.

b)Parts intended as spar es or replacement for"off-the-shelf" items, or other items for which quality requirements were not originally specified, are evaluated for performance at least equivalent to the original.c)Mhere quality requirements for the original items cannot be determined, requirements and controls are established by engineering evaluation performed by qualified individuals.

The evaluation assures there is no adverse effect on interfaces, safety, interchangeability, fit, form, function, or compliance with applicable regulatory or code requirements.

Evaluation results are documented.

d)Any additional or modified design criteria, imposed after previous procurement of the item(s), are identified and incorporated.

1.7.7.2.5 Instructions and procedures address the requirements*for supplier selection and control, as well as procurement document control.The 1.7-53 July, 1994

program for receipt inspection of safety-related items addresses inspection of incoming items, including a review of the documentation required under the procurement.

Receipt inspection personnel are qualified and certified in accordance with the requirements of ANSI N45.2.6.Provisions for receipt inspection apply regardless of where the procurement originates.

Additional inspections may apply if required by the procurement document.Items, which have special procurement requirements (such as nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel components), may involve detailed source evaluations or di th J'g~iT!!',':":ll!!ii!!i V P!hiP t PP1 t receipt inspection.

Personnel performing these evaluations and audits will be qualified in accordance with ANSI N18.1 and/or ANSI N45.2.23.Receipt inspections at the site will be performed by personnel certified to ANSI N45.2.6.In addition, reviews of special procurement documents or shipping manifests will be performed by personnel trained in the procurement and qualified in accordance with ANSI N18.1.Where items and/or services are safety-related and procurement is accomplished without assistance of AEPSC, supplier selection is limited to those companies identified as being qualified.

1.7.7.2.6 Items received at the site are tagged with a"HOLD" tag and/or placed in a designated area (e.g.new nuclear fuel)until receipt inspected.

During receipt inspection, designated material characteristics and attributes are checked, and documentation is checked against the procurement documents.

When the receipt inspection of items is supplemented by source evaluations or audits at the vendor prior to shipment, appropriate visual and/or mechanical inspections will be completed to ensure that shipping damage has not occurred.If found acceptable, the"HOLD" tag is removed and replaced with an"ACCEPTED" tag and/or the item is placed in a designated area.1.7-54 July, 1994

Item traceability to procurement documents and to end use is maintained through recording of identification numbers or,"HOLD"'and"ACCEPTED" tag numbers on applicable documents.

Nonconforming items, or missing or questionable documentation results in items being placed on"HOLD" and maintained in a designated, controlled area.If the nonconformance cannot be cleared, the item is either scrapped, returned to manufacturer, or dispositioned through engineering analysis.1.7.7.2.7 Contractors providing services (on-site)for safety-related components are required to have either a formal quality assurance program and procedures, or they must abide by the Cook Nuclear Plant gA Program and procedures.

Prior to their working at the Cook Nuclear Plant, contractors working under their own quality assurance programs must be audited and approved by AEPSC gA.Contractor procedures must be reviewed and approved by the originating/sponsoring department head.Further, periodic audits of site contractor activities are conducted under the direction of the AEPSC quality assurance superintendent.

1.7.7.2.8 To the extent prescri bed in specific procur ement documents, suppl i ers furnish quality records;documentary evidence that material and equipment either conforms to requirements or identifies any requirements that have not been met;and descriptions of those nonconformances from the procurement requirements, which have been dispositioned"use-as-is" or"repair." This evidence is retained at the Plant, or at the Service Corporation.

To the extent prescribed in specific procurement agreements, suppliers are required to maintain additional (backup)documents in their record system.l.7-55 July, 1994 In some cases, such as with NSSS, suppliers are designated primary record retention responsibility.

1.7.7.2.9 The capability of suppliers to furnish valid documentation is evaluated during procurement document reviews, annual supplier evaluations, and during audits.1.7.8 IDENTIFICATION AND CON'iROL OF ITEMS 1.7.8.1 SCOPE Items are identified and controlled to prevent their inadvertent use.Identification of items is maintained either on the items, their storage areas or containers, or on records traceable to the items.1.7.8.2 1.7.8.2.1 IHPLEHENTATION Controls are established that provide for the identification and control of items (including partially fabricated assemblies).

1.7.8.2.2 Items are identified by physically marking the item or its container, and by maintaining records traceable to the item.The method of identification is such that the quality of the item is not degraded.1.7.8.2.3 Items are traceable to applicable drawings, specifications, or other pertinent documents to ensure that only correct and acceptable items are used.Yerification of traceability is performed and documented prior to release for fabrication, assembly, or installation.

a)b)c)d)e)f)g)Maintenance of fire protection systems.Testing of fire protection equipment.

Fire safety inspections.

Fire fighting procedures.

Fire drills.Emergency remote shutdown procedures.

Emergency repair procedures (lOCFR50, Appendix R).The Fire Protection gA Program at the Cook Nuclear Plant a'iso provides.for inspection of fire hazards, explosion hazards, and training of fire brigade and responding fire departments.

The pl8nb22!pretle2Cti'oj department2S fire proteCtiOn Shift supervisor on duty, or designee, is designated as the fire brigade leader and 1.7-82 July, 1994 coordinates the fire fighting efforts of the fire brigade.The operations department provides an individual with plant systems knowledge to serve as an advisor to the fire brigade leader.1.7.19.3 Desi n Control and Procurement Document Control guality standards are specified in the design documents such as appropriate fire pt otection codes and standards, and, as necessary, deviations and changes from these quality standards are controlled.

The Cook Nuclear Plant design was reviewed by qualified personnel to ensure inclusion of appropriate fire protection requirements.

These reviews include items such as: 1)Verification as to the adequacy of electrical isolation and cable separation criteria.2)Verification of appropriate requirements for room isolation (sealing penetrations, floors and other fire barriers).

3)Determination for increase in fire loadings.4)'Determination for the need of additional fire detection and suppression equipment.

Procurement of fire protection equipment and related items are subject to the requirements of the fire protection procurement documents.

A review of these documents is performed to assure fire protection requirements and quality requirements are correctly stated, verifiable, and controllable, and that there is adequate acceptance and rejection criteria.Procurement documents must be prepared, reviewed, and approved according to gA Program requirements.

Design and procurement document changes, including field changes and design deviations, are controlled by procedure.

1.7-83 July, 1994 g4 i~I 1' 1.7.19.4 Instructions Procedures and Drawin s Inspections, tests, administrative controls, fire drills and training that assist in implementing the fire protection program are prescribed by approved instructions or procedures.

Exce tion Inter retation The AEPSC/ISN commitment refers to the Regulatory Guides and ANSI Standards specifically identified in Appendix A.Additional Regulatory Guides, ANSI Standards and similar documents implied, or referenced, in those specifically identified are not part of this commitment.

z.N18.7, General Exce tion Inter retation AEPSC and ISN have established both an on-site and off-site standing committee for independent review activities; together they form the independent review body.The standard numeric and qualification requirement may not be met by each group individually.

Procedur es will be established to specify how each group will be involved in review activities.

This exception/interpretation is consistent with the plant's Technical Specifications.

1.7-97 July, 1994

2a.Sec.4.3.1"Personnel assigned responsibility for independent reviews shall be specified in both number and technical disciplines, and shall collectively have the experience and competence required to review problems in the following areas:...." Exce tion Intet retation AEPSC Nuclear Safety and Design Review Committee (NSDRC)and Plant Nuclear Safety Review Committee (PNSRC)will not have members specified by number, nor by technical disciplines, and its members may not have the experience and competence required to review problems in all areas listed in this section.This exception/interpretation is consistent with the plant's Technical Specifications.

The NSDRC and PNSRC will not specifically include a member qualified in nondestructive testing, but will use qualified technical consultants to perform this and other functions as determined necessary by the respective committee chairman.2b.Sec.4.3.2.1"When a standing committee is responsible for the independent review program, it shall be composed of no less than five persons of.whom no more than a minority are members of the on-site operating organization.

Competent alternates are permitted if designated in advance.The use of alternates shall be restricted to legitimate absences of principals." Exce tion Inter retation See Item 2a.1.7-98 July, 1994 2c.Sec.4.3.3.1 R~i"...recommendations

...shall be disseminated promptly to appropriate members of management having responsibility in the area reviewed." Exce tion Inter retation Recommendations made as a result of review will generally be conveyed to the on-site, or off-site, standing committee.

Procedures will be maintained specifying how recommendations are to be considered.

2d.Sec.4.3.4 Re uirement"The following subjects shall be reviewed by the independent review b0 dye~~~~Exce ti on Inter retati on~Subjects requiring review will be as specified in the plant Technical Specifications.

2e.Sec.4.3.4(3)"Changes in the Technical Specifications or License Amendments relating to nuclear safety are to be reviewed by the independent review body prior to implementation, except in those cases where the change is identical to a previously reviewed proposed change." Exce tion Inter retation Although the usual practice is to meet this requirement, exceptions are made to NSDRC review and approval prior to implementation in rare cases with the permission of the NSDRC Chairman and Secretary.

PNSRC review and approval is always done prior to implementation of Technical Specification changes.1.7-99 July, 1994 2f.Sec.4.4"The on-site operating organization shall provide, as part of the normal duties of plant supervisory personnel...." Exce tion Inter retation Some of the responsibilities of the on-site operating organization described in Section 4.4 may be carried out'y the PNSRC and/or NSDRC as described in plant Technical Specifications.

2g.Sec.5.2.2"Temporary changes, which clearly do not change the intent of the approved procedure, shall as a minimum be approved by two members of the plant staff knowledgeable in the areas affected by the procedures.

At least one of these individuals shall be the supervisor in charge of the shift and hold a senior operator's license on the unit affected." Exce tion Inter retation I&K considers that this requirement applies only to procedures identified in plant Technical Specifications.

Temporary changes to these procedures shall be approved as described in plant Technical Specifications.

2h.Sec.5.2.6"In cases where required documentary evidence is not available, the associated equipment or materials must be considered nonconforming in accordance with Section 5.2.14.Until suitable documentary evidence is available to show the equipment or material is in conformance, affected systems shall be considered to be inoperable and reliance shall not be placed on such systems to fulfill their intended safety functions." Exce tion Inter retation ISM initiates appropriate corrective action when it is discovered that documentary evidence does not exist for a test or inspection which is a 1.7-100 July, 1994 JL e 0 requirement to verify equipment acceptability.

This action includes a technical evaluation of the equipment's operability status.2i.Sec.5.2.~ll"A surveillance testing and inspection program...shall include the establishment of a master surveillance schedule reflecting the status of all planned in-plant surveillance tests and inspections." Exce tion Inter retation Separate master schedules may exist for different programs, such as ISI, pump and valve testing, and Technical Specification surveillance testing.2j.Sec.5.2.13.1~ll"To the extent necessary, procurement documents shall require suppliers to provide a (}uality Assurance Program consistent with the pertinent requirements of ANSI N45.2-1977." Exce tion Inter retation To the extent necessary, procurement documents require that the supplier has a documented guality Assurance Program consistent with the pertinent requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B;ANSI N45.2;or other nationally recognized codes and standards.

2k.Sec.5.2.13.2 ANSI N18.7 and N45.2.13 specify that where required by code, regulation, or contract, documentary evidence that items conform to procurement requirements shall be available at the nuclear power plant site prior to installation or use of such it ms.Exce tion Inter retation The required documentary evidence is available at he site prior to use, but not necessarily prior to installation.

This allows installation to 1.7-101 Duly, 1994 proceed while any missing documents are being obtained, but precludes dependence on the item for safety purposes.21.Sec.5.2.15"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',f changes are necessary or desirable." Exce tion Inter retation Biennial reviews are not performed in that 1&8 has programmatic control requirements in place that make the biennial review process redundant from a regulatory perspective.

These programmatic controls were effected in an effort to ensure that plant instructions and procedures are reviewed for possible revision when pertinent source material is revised, therefore maintaining the procedures current.We believe that this approach, in addition to an annual random sampling of procedures, better addresses the intent of the biennial review process and is more acceptable from both a technical and practical perspective than a static two-year review process.2m.Sec.5.2.16 Records shall be made, and equipment suitably marked, to indicate calibration status.Exce tion Inter retation See Item 6b.1.7-102 July, 1994 2n.Sec.5.3.5(4)This section requires that where sections of documents such as vendor manuals, operating and maintenance instructions, or drawings are incorporated directly, or by reference into a maintenance procedure, they shal'l receive the same level of review and appt oval as operating procedures.

Exce tion Inter retation Such documents are reviewed by appropriately qualified personnel prior to use to ensure that, when used as instructions, they provide proper and adequate'nformation to ensure the required quality of work.Maintenance procedures which reference these documents receive the same level of review and approval as operating procedures.

3.N45.2.1, 3a.Sec.3~R N45.2.1 estabiishes criteria for ciassifying items into"cieann'esp levels," and requires that items be so classified.

Exce'ion Inter retation Instead of using the cf",::eanness'evel classification system of N5.2.I, the required e1;eaiiiiss for specific items and activities is addressed on a case-by-case basis.'C'1'ustness:

is maintained, consistent with the work being performed, so as to prevent the introduction of foreign materia1.As a minimum, g," cene nose inspections are performed prior to closure of"nuclear" systems and equipment.

Such inspections are documented.

1.7-103 July, 1994

3b.Sec.5~R"Fitting and tack-welded joints (which will not be immediately sealed by welding)shall be wrapped with polyethylene or other nonhalogenated plastic film until the welds can be completed." Exce tion Inter retation IM sometimes uses other nonhalogenated material, compatible with the parent material, since plastic film is subject to damage and does not always provide adequate protection.

4.N45.2.2, General~ll N45.2.2 establishes requirements and criteria for classifying safety-related items into protection levels.Exce tion Inter retation Instead of classifying safety-related items into protection levels, controls'ver the packaging, shipping, handling and storage of such items are established on a case-by-case basis with due regard for the item's complexity, use and sensitivity to damage.Prior to installation or use, the items are inspected and serviced, as necessary, to assure that no damage or deterioration exists which could affect their function.4a.Sec.3.9 and Appendix A3.9~lt"The item and the outside of containers shall be marked." (Further criteria for marking and tagging are given in the Appendix.)

Exce tion Inter retation These requirements were originally written for items packaged and shipped to construction projects.Full compliance is not always necessary in the case of items shipped to operating plants and may, in some cases, 1.7-104 July, 1994

increase the probability of damage to the item.The requirements are implemented to the extent necessary to assure traceability and integrity of the item.4b.Sec.5.2.2~ll"Receiving inspections shall be performed in an area equivalent to the level of storage.".

Exce tion Inter retation Receiving inspection area environmental controls may be less stringent than storage environmental requirements for an item.However, such inspections are performed in a manner and in an environment which do not endanger the required quality of the item.4c.Sec.6.2.4"The use or storage of food, drinks and salt tablet dispensers in any storage area shall not be permitted." Exce tion Inter retation Packaged food for emergency or extended overtime use may be stored in material stock rooms.The packaging assures that materials are not contaminated.

Food will not be"used" in these areas.4d.Sec.6.3.4"All items and their containers shall be plainly marked so that they are easily identified without excessive handling or unnecessary opening of crates and boxes." Exce tion Inter retation See N45.2.2, Section 3.9 (Exception 4b.).1.7-105 Duly, 1994 4e.Sec.6.4.1~R"Inspections and examinations shall be performed and documented on a periodic basis to assure that the integrity of the item and its container...is being maintained." Exce tion Inter retation The requirement implies that all inspections and examinations of items in storage are to be performed on the same schedule.Instead, the inspections and examinations are performed in accordance with material storage procedures which identify the characteristics to be inspected and include the required frequencies.

These procedures are based on technical considerations which recognize that inspections and frequencies needed vary from item to item.5.N45.2.3, 5a.Sec.2.1 Cleanliness requirements for housekeeping activities shall be established on the basis of five zone designations.

Exce tion Inter retation Instead of the five-level zone designation system referenced in ANSI N45.2.3, ILK bases its controls over housekeeping activities on a consideration of what is necessary and appropriate for the activity involved.The controls are effected through procedures or instructions.

Factors considered in developing the procedures and instructions include cleanliness control, personnel safety, fire prevention and protection, radiation control and security.The procedures and instructions make use of standard janitorial and work practices to the extent possible.However, in preparing these procedures, consideration is also given to the recommendations of Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.3.1.7-106 July, 1994 S Ij 6.N45.2.4, 6a.Sec.2.2 Section 2.2 establishes prerequisites which must be met before the installation, inspections and testing of instrumentation and electrical equipment may proceed.These prerequisites include personnel qualification, control of design, conforming and protected materials and availability of specified documents.

Exce tion Inter retation During the operations phase, this requirement is considered to be applicable to modifications and initial start-up of electrical equipment.

For routine ot periodic inspection and testing, the prerequisite conditions will be achieved, as necessary.

6b.Sec.6.2.1~ll"Items requiring calibration shall be tagged or labeled on completion, indicating date of calibration and identity of person that performed cal i br at i on." Exce tion Inter retation Frequently, physical size and/or location of installed plant instrumentation precludes attachment of calibration labels or tags.Instead, each instrument is uniquely identified and is traceable to its calibration record.A scheduled calibration program assures that each instrument's calibration is current.1.7-107 July, 1994 7.N45.2.5, 7a.Sec.2.5.2"When discrepancies, malfunctions or inaccuracies in inspection and testing equipment are found during calibration, all items inspected with that equipment since the last previous calibration shall be considered unacceptable until an evaluation has been made by the responsible authority and appropriate action taken." Exce tion Inter retation ILM uses the requirements of N18.7, Section 5.2.16, rather than N45.2.5, Section 2.5.2.The N18.7 requirements are more applicable to an operating plant.7b, Sec.5.4~R"Hand torque wrenches used for inspection shall be controlled and must be calibrated at least weekly and more often if deemed necessary.

Impact torque wrenches used for inspection must be calibrated at least twice daily." Exce tion Inter retation Torque wrenches are controlled as measuring and test equipment in accordance with ANSI N18.7, Section 5.2.16.Calibration intervals are based on use and calibration history rather than as per N45.2.5.8.N45.2.6, Sec.1.2~ll"The requirements of this standard apply to personnel who perform inspections, examinations and tests during fabrication prior to or during receipt of items at the construction site, during construction, during preoperational and start-up testing and during operational phases of nuclear power plants." 1.7-108 July, 1994 Exce tion Inter retation Personnel participating in testing who take data or make observations, where special training is not required to perform this function, need not be qualified in accordance with ANSI N45.2.6, but need only be trained to the extent necessary to perform the assigned function.9.Re.Guide 1.58-General gualification of nuclear power plant inspection, examination and testing personnel.

ga.C.2.a(7)Regulatory Guide 1.58 endorses the guidelines of SNT-TC-1A as an acceptable method of training and certifying personnel conducting leak tests.Exce tion Inter retation IKN takes the position that the"Level" designation guidelines as recommended in SNT-TC-1A, paragraph 4 do not necessarily assure adequate leak test capability.

ISN maintains that departmental supervisors are best able to judge whether engineers and other personnel are qualified to direct and/or perform leak tests.Therefore, I&N does not implement the recommended"Level" designation guidelines.

It is I&M's opinion that the training guidelines of SNT-TC-lA, Table I-G, paragraph 5.2 specifically are oriented towards the basic physics involved in leak testing, and further, towards individuals who are not graduate engineers.

ISN maintains that it meets the essence of these training guidelines.

The preparation of leak test procedures and the conduct of leak tests at Cook Nucleai Plant is under the direct supervision of performance engineers who hold engineering degrees from accredited engineering schools.The basic physics of leak testing have been incorporated into the applicable test procedures.

The review and 1.7-109 July, 1994 f~/'

approval of the data obtained from leak tests is performed by department supervisors who are also graduate engineers.

ILK does recognize the need to assure that individuals involved in leak tests are fully cognizant of leak test procedural requirements and thoroughly familiar with the test equipment involved.Plant performance engineers receive routine, informal orientation on testing programs to ensure that these individuals fully understand the requirements of performing a leak test.9b.C5, CG, C7, C8, C10 Exce tion Inter retation IM takes the position that the classification of inspection, examination and test personnel (inspection personnel) into"Levels" based on the requirements stated in Section 3.0 of ANSI N45.2.6 does not necessarily assure adequate inspection capability.

ISN maintains that departmental and first line supervisors are best able to judge the inspection capability of the personnel under their supervision, and that"Level" classification would require an overly burdensome administrative work load, could inhibit inspection activities, and provides no assurance of inspection capabilities.

Therefore, ILK does not implement the"Level" classification concept for inspection, examination and test personnel.

The methodology under which inspections, examinations and tests are conducted at the Cook Nuclear Plant requires the involvement of first line supervisors, engineering-personnel, departmental supervisors and plant management.

In essence, the last seven (7)project functions shown in Table I to ANSI N45.2.6 are assigned to supervisory and engineering personnel, and not to personnel of the inspector category.These management supervisory and engineering personnel, as a minimum, meet the educational and experience requirements of"Level II and Level III" personnel, as required, to meet the criteria of ANSI 18.I which exceeds those of ANSI N45.2.6.In IRN's opinion, no useful purpose is served by 1.7-110 July, 1994 classification of management, supervisory and engineering personnel into"Levels." Therefore, I&M takes the following positions relative to regulatory positions C5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 of Regulatory Guide 1.58.C-5 C-6 Based on the discussion in 9b, this position is not applicable to the Cook Nuclear Pla~t.Replacement personnel for Cook Nuclear Plant management, supervisory and engineering positions subject to ANSI 18.1 will meet the educational and experience requirements of ANSI 18.I and therefore, those of ANSI N45.2.6.Replacement inspection personnel will, as a minimum, meet the educational and experience requirements of ANSI N45.2.6, Section 3.5.1-"Level I." C-7 I&M, as a general practice, complies with the training recommendations as set forth in this regulatory position.C-8 All I&M inspection, examination and test personnel are instructed in the normal course of employee training in radiation protection and the means to minimize radiation dose exposure.C-10 I&M maintains documentation to show that inspection personnel meet the minimum requirements of"Level I," and that management, supervisory and engineering personnel meet the minimum requirements of ANSI 18.1.10.N45.2.8, 10a.Sec.2.9e Section 2.9e of N45.2.8.lists documents relating to the specific stage of installation activity which are to be available at the construction site.1.7-111 July, 1994

Exce ti on Inter retati on All of the documents listed are not necessarily required at the construction site for installation and testing.AEPSC and ILK assure that they are available to the site, as necessary.

10b.Sec.2.9e~ll Evidence that engineering or design changes are documented and approved shall be available at the construction site prior to installation.

Exce tion Inter retation Equipment may be installed before final approval of engineering or design changes.However, the system is not placed into service until such changes are documented and approved.10c.Sec.4.5.1"Installed systems and components shall be cleaned, flushed conditioned according to the requirements of ANSI N45.2.1.consideration shall be given to the following requirements: (Requirements are given for chemical conditioning, flushing controls.)

and Special and process Exce tion Inter retation Systems and components are cleaned, flushed and conditioned as determined on a case-by-case basis.measures are taken to help preclude the need for cleaning, flushing and conditioning through good practices during maintenance or modification activities.

1.7-112 July, 1994 t V I 11.N45.2.9 lla.Sec.5.4, Item 2 R~i Records shall not be stored loosely."They shall be firmly attached in binders or placed in folders or envelopes for storage on shelving in containers." Steel file cabinets are preferred.

Exce tion Inter retation Records are suitably stored in steel file cabinets, or on shelving in containers.

Methods other than binders, folders, or envelopes (for example, dividers)may be used to organize the records for storage.11b.Sec.6.2 R~i"A list shall be maintained designating those personnel who shall have access to the files".Exce tion Inter retation Rules are established governing access to and control of files as provided for-in ANSI N45.2.9, Section 5.3, Item 5.These rules do not always include a requirement for a list of personnel who are authorized access.It should be noted that duplicate files and/or microforms may exist for general use.llc.Sec.5.6 When a single records storage facility is maintained, at least the following features should be considered in its construction:

etc.Exce tion Inter retation The Cook Nuclear Plant Master File Room and other off-site record storage facilities comply with the requirements of NUREG-0800 (7/Sl), Section 17.1.17.4.

1.7-113 July, 1994

12.Re.Guide 1.144 ANSI N45.2.12 12a.Sec.C3a{2)~ll Applicable elements of an organization's guality Assurance program for"design and construction phase activities should be audited at least annually or at least once within the life of the activity, whichever is shorter." Exce tion Inter retation Since most modifications are strai ght forward, they are not audited individually.

Instead, selected controls over modifications are audited periodically.

12b.Sec.C3b{1)This section identifies procurement contracts which are exempted from being audited.Exce tion Inter retation In addition to the exemptions of Reg.Guide 1.144, AEPSC/ISH considers that the National Institute of Standards and.Technology, or other State and Federal Agencies which may provide services to AEPSC/18K, are not required to be audited.12c.Sec.4.5.1 Re uirement Responses to adverse audit findings, giving results of the review and investigation, shall clearly state the corrective action taken or planned to prevent recurrence."In the event that corrective action cannot be completed within thirty days, the audited organization's response shall include a scheduled date for the corrective action."1.7-114 July, 1994 Exce tion Inter retation AEPSC/ISM take the position that certain circumstances warrant more than thirty (30)days to completely investigate the cause and/or total impact of an adverse finding.For these circumstances, an initial thirty (30)day response will be provided which addresses a schedule for known corrective actions, the reason why additional investigation time is needed, and a schedule for completion of the investigation.

These initial responses require the approval of the director-quality assurance.
