In some situations, records traceable to the item may be used.The procedures implementing control of inspections test, and operating status shall delineate authority forthe application, change, or removal of status identifiers.

24 SONGS DQAP Revision 0 1Non-conforming Materials, Parts or Components 15.0 Nonconforming Materials, Parts or Components SCE establishes measures to control important to safety materials, parts and components which do notconform to requirements.

The measures used to control nonconforming materials, parts and components are described by approved procedures.

Items received, constructed for, or installed at SONGS that do not meet specific requirements of theprocurement documentation, testing or inspection, are to be identified as nonconforming items andnotification is to be made to the affected organizations.

Deviations pertaining to a characteristic of amaterial, component, system, or structure, from those specified in the design documents are treated asnonconformances.

Items identified as nonconforming require a Nuclear Notification to be written and theaffected organizations informed in accordance with approved procedures.

Nonconforming itemsidentified through receipt inspection are processed by Engineering through the use of notifications.

Supplier nonconformances are processed by Nuclear Oversight through the use of the Vendor Corrective Action Request process.When an item is identified as being nonconforming, the individual identifying the nonconformance initiates a Nuclear Notification and the item is required to be identified and marked as such in accordance withapproved procedures.

Items marked as nonconforming are to be segregated from other incoming andaccepted items and controlled to prevent release and inadvertent use. Items that are impractical tosegregate (e.g. items that have been constructed or installed) other precautions will be taken to ensureagainst the item's release and inadvertent use.An engineering review process controlled by approved SONGS procedures is to be used to evaluatenonconforming items for reportability and final disposition.

Nonconforming items discovered in installed items are evaluated to determine their operability and use is controlled until the final disposition of thenonconformance and associated disposition implementation.

Personnel performing the engineering evaluations shall have a demonstrated knowledge of the item and its use, knowledge of the requirements and access to necessary background information.

Nonconforming items are evaluated and eitheraccepted to be used as-is, rejected, repaired or reworked.

Procedures are established to ensure thatitems that are accepted for use as-is, conditional

release, or repaired have a technical justification documented before the item can be released for use. Items that are designated for repair or rework arere-inspected upon completion of the repair or rework to ensure that the repaired or reworked item meetsapplicable requirements, or there is a technical justification, prior to being released for use in the facility.

Nonconformance documentation is forwarded to SONGS Records Management for retention and storagein accordance with approved procedures.

25 SONGS DQAP Revision 0Corrective Action16.0 Corrective ActionSCE establishes measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances, are promptly identified, evaluated and corrected using the Nuclear Notification System.

Audit scopes andschedules are based upon the status of work progress, important to safety activities being performed, regulatory requirements and prior experience with the organization being audited.

Internal audits for theSONGS Decommissioning Quality Assurance Plan (DQAP) shall continue on a 24-month cycle with a 90day grace period. Grace periods are not intended to be used repetitively, merely as an administrative convenience to extend audit intervals.

Therefore, the next performance due date is based on theoriginally scheduled date.When specific audits are identified as requiring a more frequent periodicity, for example, annual audits ofEmergency Preparedness and Safeguards, the shortest periodicity will be adhered to for activities covered by those specific regulatory requirements.

The frequency of internal audits will be prescribed bythe plant implementing procedure which governs the conduct of QA audits.An audit schedule shall be maintained and revised at least annually, to ensure that programs receivenecessary audits to support regulatory compliance.

Additional audits may be added to the schedule tosupplement audits of specific subjects when necessary to provide adequate coverage.

External audits of suppliers providing important to safety materials, parts, equipment or services arescheduled and performed based on the importance of the activity and to confirm implementation of thesupplier's QA Program at a frequency of not less than three (3) years with a 90 day grace period. Thesupplier audit requirement shall not apply to standard off-the-shelf items and bulk commodities whererequired quality can adequately be determined by receipt inspection of post-installation test.Audit reports shall be prepared,

reviewed, approved and distributed in accordance with approvedprocedures.

Results of audits are reviewed with the management of the organization audited during exit interviews and are documented in formal audit reports to SONGS management.

Responsible management in theareas audited shall implement the necessary corrective actions required to address deficiencies.

Theseactions are documented and reviewed periodically and, if needed, re-examined during re-audits of thesubject area to verify deficient areas have completed corrective actions.Audit records including audit plans, checklists, audit reports, written replies, and the record of completion of corrective action shall be retained in accordance with proper implementing procedures.
