CHAPTER , | |||
3 DESIGN CONTROL 3.1 PURPOSE / SCOPE To establish the requirements, responsibilities and control measures for assuring that design bases and regulatory requirements are correctly translated into design documents. The scope of design control covers all phases of engineering design, including: | |||
conceptual design selections; identification of design _ inputs (criteria and bases); identification and control of design interfaces; production of design documents, calculations and analyses; procurement-related engineering; design verification; and installation engineering support. | |||
==3.2 DESCRIPTION== | |||
Design control measures are established to assure modifications and design changes meet the appropriate performance and quality _ | |||
requirements. These design control measures are commensurate with those applicable to the original design and' assure that-modifications are designed and implemented in accordance- with applicable codes, standards and regulatory commitments. | |||
The Nuclear Station Engineering Department has overall responsibility for design control- activities at Clinton Power Station (CPG). These design control activities are managed within the context of the Nuclear Program Configuration Management Program, which also includes provision tor controlling hardware and software items (procedures, training, etc.) which comprise the configuration of CPS and also includes final design approval of changes or modifications for incorporation into the plant. | |||
Processing of a modification, and the associated design / design change documents under this program ensures appropriate participation and awareness by CPS organizations throughout the design development and installation process. | |||
Provisions of this program also ensure that each modification or design change receives a thorough safety evaluation, that meets regulatory commitments or ensures that the basis for not performing. | |||
the safety evaluation is documented. If the change is determined PAGE 1 of 5 REVISION: 74 | |||
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 to constitute "an unreviewed safety question", or to alter commitments contained in approved Safety Analysis Reports or the CPS Technical Specifications, it shall be evaluated by established safety review committees and submitted for regulatory approval prior to implementation. | |||
New design or design changes shall be defined by drawings, specifications, change notices or other documents as prescribed in design control procedures. The organization actually performing the design work, either Nuclear Station Engineering or a qualified consultant-engineer is required to include the following considerations in the design of each modification: | |||
: a. Appropriate design bases, regulatory requirements, safety requirements, performance objectives, design margins, special processes, material and testing requirements, and operating objectives are adequately translated into the various design documents. | |||
: b. Appropriate design analysis (e.g., physics, seismic, stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation and accident) is part of the design process. | |||
: c. Accessibility requirements for operation, testing, maintenance, in-service inspection and repair are included in the design. | |||
: d. Necessary installation or modification inspection and test acceptance criteria are included in the design documents or modification packages. | |||
: e. An evaluation to determine if the proposed design change or modification involves an "unreviewed safety question". | |||
: f. Design control measures shall include criticality physics and radiation shielding for radioactive material shipments. | |||
: g. Design control measures shall include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents and that , | |||
deviations from such standards are controlled. | |||
Additionally, the organization which produces and approves the design / design change documents shall maintain detailed procedures design to control and document performance of the following activities: | |||
PAGE 2 of 5 REVISION: 24 i 1 | |||
I | |||
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 | |||
: a. Identification and selection of design inputs. | |||
: b. Identification and control of interfaces between. | |||
organizations required to make input to, review or approve final design products, | |||
: c. Performance of calculations or analyses which demonstrate that design products satisfy the design inputs, including those performed using computer codes. | |||
: d. Production, review, approval and revision of drawings, specifications, data sheets or other design output documents. | |||
: e. Classification and specification of technical requirements for equipment or material procurements. | |||
associated with the design / design change. | |||
: f. Verification that the design inputs, interfaces, calculations and final design products are adequate | |||
~ | |||
and correct; and that the installation satisfies all specified design requirements. | |||
The form and structure of the procedures and instructions used to accomplish these activities may vary dependent upon the complexity of the design and the different organizations involved in the design development. | |||
Design verification for the final design products will normally be done by an independent group or person within the organization actually producing the design. When this is a . consultant-engineer organization, Nuclear Station Engineering may choose to conduct, or direct, additional independent design verifications. | |||
This verification consists of a check of design adequacy by such methods as design reviews, use of alternate calculations or methods, or performance of verification or qualification testing. | |||
The method, or combination of methods, used to verify a design will be selected on a case-by-case basis. The selection will be based on consideration of such things as: a) uniqueness of the design or application, b) complexity of the design, c) prior history of.use, d) importance to safety, and e) consequences of failure. CPS operating phase design verification other than qualification testing of prototype or lead production unit will, where practical, be completed prior to installation and operation. In those cases where this timing cannot be met, the design verification may be deferred, providing the justification for this action is documented 24 ; | |||
PAGE 3 of 5 REVISION: | |||
) | |||
i | |||
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 and the unverified documents related to the design are appropriately identified and controlled. However, design verification shall be completed prior to the component, system or structure being released for operation. l Verification by test will normally be included in procurement-documents that require the supplier to perform the test and use the most severe design conditions as acceptance criteria. These l procurement documents shall require that the test procedure, including acceptance criteria, be submitted to Illinois Power or its designee for review and approval prior to performance of the test. | |||
When a verification test cannot be performed prior to installation, proposed testing programs shall be reviewed and approved by Illinois Power to ensure that no unresolved safety questions are involved and the testing is conducted within licensing limitations prior to the point when the installation would become irreversible. | |||
The entire design control process shall be subject to audits and surveillances to ensure that design activities are implemented in accordance with program requirements. (CCT 8345) 3.3 RESPONSIBILITIES 3.3.1 CPS Plant Staff , | |||
: a. Initiate or concur with design change requests for CPS and forward to Nuclear Station Engineering for review and approval. | |||

When these means are either not available or.do not permit a complete evaluation'of a supplier's quality capabilities, a survey or an audit will be conducted of the supplier. A Qualified Suppliers List is maintained. (CCT 8356) , | |||
In addition to reviewing a supplier's capability to meet the commercial requirements of the procurement documents, a review is performed to ensure that the required technical and quality assurance evaluations have been completed satisf actorily prior to contrac* award or release of the purchase order. The results of these reviews and evaluations are documented. | |||
Following the award of the contract or placement of the purchase order, surveillances and evaluations at the supplier's facility are conducted to verify continued compliance with the quality assurance-requirements of the procurement documents. Where specified in_the purchase order or contract, source inspections at the supplier's facility are accomplished by qualified individuals or qualified agent to verify that the procurement item or - service is being supplied in accordance with the requirements of the procurement documents. Such inspections are accomplished in accordance with containing or written procedures, plans, and/or checklists referencing appropriate acceptance criteria. (CCT 7997) receipt at CPS, safety-related materials, parts, and Upon components are controlled.

CHAPTER ,
3 DESIGN CONTROL 3.1 PURPOSE / SCOPE To establish the requirements, responsibilities and control measures for assuring that design bases and regulatory requirements are correctly translated into design documents. The scope of design control covers all phases of engineering design, including:
conceptual design selections; identification of design _ inputs (criteria and bases); identification and control of design interfaces; production of design documents, calculations and analyses; procurement-related engineering; design verification; and installation engineering support.
3.2 DESCRIPTION
Design control measures are established to assure modifications and design changes meet the appropriate performance and quality _
requirements. These design control measures are commensurate with those applicable to the original design and' assure that-modifications are designed and implemented in accordance- with applicable codes, standards and regulatory commitments.
The Nuclear Station Engineering Department has overall responsibility for design control- activities at Clinton Power Station (CPG). These design control activities are managed within the context of the Nuclear Program Configuration Management Program, which also includes provision tor controlling hardware and software items (procedures, training, etc.) which comprise the configuration of CPS and also includes final design approval of changes or modifications for incorporation into the plant.
Processing of a modification, and the associated design / design change documents under this program ensures appropriate participation and awareness by CPS organizations throughout the design development and installation process.
Provisions of this program also ensure that each modification or design change receives a thorough safety evaluation, that meets regulatory commitments or ensures that the basis for not performing.
the safety evaluation is documented. If the change is determined PAGE 1 of 5 REVISION: 74
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 to constitute "an unreviewed safety question", or to alter commitments contained in approved Safety Analysis Reports or the CPS Technical Specifications, it shall be evaluated by established safety review committees and submitted for regulatory approval prior to implementation.
New design or design changes shall be defined by drawings, specifications, change notices or other documents as prescribed in design control procedures. The organization actually performing the design work, either Nuclear Station Engineering or a qualified consultant-engineer is required to include the following considerations in the design of each modification:
- a. Appropriate design bases, regulatory requirements, safety requirements, performance objectives, design margins, special processes, material and testing requirements, and operating objectives are adequately translated into the various design documents.
- b. Appropriate design analysis (e.g., physics, seismic, stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation and accident) is part of the design process.
- c. Accessibility requirements for operation, testing, maintenance, in-service inspection and repair are included in the design.
- d. Necessary installation or modification inspection and test acceptance criteria are included in the design documents or modification packages.
- e. An evaluation to determine if the proposed design change or modification involves an "unreviewed safety question".
- f. Design control measures shall include criticality physics and radiation shielding for radioactive material shipments.
- g. Design control measures shall include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents and that ,
deviations from such standards are controlled.
Additionally, the organization which produces and approves the design / design change documents shall maintain detailed procedures design to control and document performance of the following activities:
PAGE 2 of 5 REVISION: 24 i 1
I
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3
- a. Identification and selection of design inputs.
- b. Identification and control of interfaces between.
organizations required to make input to, review or approve final design products,
- c. Performance of calculations or analyses which demonstrate that design products satisfy the design inputs, including those performed using computer codes.
- d. Production, review, approval and revision of drawings, specifications, data sheets or other design output documents.
- e. Classification and specification of technical requirements for equipment or material procurements.
associated with the design / design change.
- f. Verification that the design inputs, interfaces, calculations and final design products are adequate
~
and correct; and that the installation satisfies all specified design requirements.
The form and structure of the procedures and instructions used to accomplish these activities may vary dependent upon the complexity of the design and the different organizations involved in the design development.
Design verification for the final design products will normally be done by an independent group or person within the organization actually producing the design. When this is a . consultant-engineer organization, Nuclear Station Engineering may choose to conduct, or direct, additional independent design verifications.
This verification consists of a check of design adequacy by such methods as design reviews, use of alternate calculations or methods, or performance of verification or qualification testing.
The method, or combination of methods, used to verify a design will be selected on a case-by-case basis. The selection will be based on consideration of such things as: a) uniqueness of the design or application, b) complexity of the design, c) prior history of.use, d) importance to safety, and e) consequences of failure. CPS operating phase design verification other than qualification testing of prototype or lead production unit will, where practical, be completed prior to installation and operation. In those cases where this timing cannot be met, the design verification may be deferred, providing the justification for this action is documented 24 ;
PAGE 3 of 5 REVISION:
)
i
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 and the unverified documents related to the design are appropriately identified and controlled. However, design verification shall be completed prior to the component, system or structure being released for operation. l Verification by test will normally be included in procurement-documents that require the supplier to perform the test and use the most severe design conditions as acceptance criteria. These l procurement documents shall require that the test procedure, including acceptance criteria, be submitted to Illinois Power or its designee for review and approval prior to performance of the test.
When a verification test cannot be performed prior to installation, proposed testing programs shall be reviewed and approved by Illinois Power to ensure that no unresolved safety questions are involved and the testing is conducted within licensing limitations prior to the point when the installation would become irreversible.
The entire design control process shall be subject to audits and surveillances to ensure that design activities are implemented in accordance with program requirements. (CCT 8345) 3.3 RESPONSIBILITIES 3.3.1 CPS Plant Staff ,
- a. Initiate or concur with design change requests for CPS and forward to Nuclear Station Engineering for review and approval.
- b. Incorporate approved design changes into CPS.

( ASME) , or e) documented information from organizations, including architect-engineer, Nuclear Steam Systems Supplier, and other utilities that indicates the supplier has a program that meets applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10CFRSO. When these means are either not available or.do not permit a complete evaluation'of a supplier's quality capabilities, a survey or an audit will be conducted of the supplier. A Qualified Suppliers List is maintained. (CCT 8356) ,
In addition to reviewing a supplier's capability to meet the commercial requirements of the procurement documents, a review is performed to ensure that the required technical and quality assurance evaluations have been completed satisf actorily prior to contrac* award or release of the purchase order. The results of these reviews and evaluations are documented.
Following the award of the contract or placement of the purchase order, surveillances and evaluations at the supplier's facility are conducted to verify continued compliance with the quality assurance-requirements of the procurement documents. Where specified in_the purchase order or contract, source inspections at the supplier's facility are accomplished by qualified individuals or qualified agent to verify that the procurement item or - service is being supplied in accordance with the requirements of the procurement documents. Such inspections are accomplished in accordance with containing or written procedures, plans, and/or checklists referencing appropriate acceptance criteria. (CCT 7997) receipt at CPS, safety-related materials, parts, and Upon components are controlled. Qualified inspection personnel are responsible for inspecting, releasing, and identifying purchased material and equipment as to the inspection status. (CCT 8357)
Acceptance activities such as evaluation of content ofconduct technicalof documents required by the purchase order, and the special tests and measurements which are identified in the purchase order are also performed. Receipt inspections are accomplished in accordance with written procedures and/or plans containing. or appropriate acceptance criteria. After receipt referencing inspection, the purchased material is forwarded to a controlled-storage area or released for installation or further work. (CCT 8188)
Documentary evidence of conformance to procurement requirements provided by the supplier in accordance with the procurement documents is reviewed during source and/or receipt inspections to verify compliance. The validity of a supplier's certificate of PAGE 2 of 5 REVISION: 24
ILLINOIS POWER NUCLEAR PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL Chapter 7 conformance is ascertained through any of the following methods: ,
source inspection, independent inspection agency, receipt t inspections, surveillance, testing of hardware, quality assurance l audits or surveillances. Inspection and test activities verify that the hardware performs in accordance with applicable technical requirements and serve to demonstrate that the hardware meets the requirements stated in a certificate of conformance. The results of the source and/or receipt inspections, the acceptability of supplier furnished documentation, and the resulting determination of conformance or nonconformance are documented.

Justification , j 1
Revision 24 to the IP Nuclear Program QA Manual was initiated to make changes in inspection planning, the Nuclear Assessment Department audit periodicity, to identify the consolidation of Non-Destructive Examination responsibilities, the reassignment of the Independent safety Engineering Group, and the in-line review of procurement documents, procedures, Maintenance Work Requests, and Condition Reports.
The changes to the QA Manual do not affect the design functions, characteristicc, configuration, or analysis of components, systems, or structures covered by the IP Nuclear QA Program. The basis is the IP Nuclear QA Program provides the programmatic administrative controls and associated departmental responsibilities for implementing the QA Program at CPS.
An evaluation in accordance with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations Part 50.54(a) determined that the changes to the QA Manual do affect authority, independence, or management reporting 1cvels previously established for organizations performing quality assurance functions and reduce commitments or effectiveness of controls previously established over activities affecting quality of CPS structures, systems, or components. Based on the evaluation that some of the changes constitute commitment reductions, those parts of this revision will not be implemented until approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations Part 50.54 (a) (3) .
This revision does not change the intent of the Safety Analysis Report or the administrative sections of the Technical Specifications which are also being revised to incorporate recent organizational changes.
