1.7.3 DESIGN CONTROL 1.7.3.1 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.
or
- 2) 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 design control procedures provide for:
- 1) controlled submission of design changes,
- 2) engineering evaluation,
- 3) review for impact on nuclear safety,
- 4) audit by AEPSC gA,
- 5) design modification,
- 6) AEPSC managerial review, and
- 7) approval and record keeping for the implemented design change.
1.7.4 PROCUREMENT DOCUMENT CONTROL 1.7.4.1 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 ~dts~aomcnentfsor 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
1.7.4.2.3 The 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, 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.
c) Regulatory, administrative and reporting requirements.
d) guality requirements appropriate to the complexity and scope of the work, including necessary tests and/or inspections.
e) 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.
g) Provisions for access to supplier, and subtier suppliers',
facilities and records for inspections, surveillances and audits.
h) Identification of documentation to be provided by the supplier, the schedule of submittals and documents requiring AEPSC approval.
1.7-45 July, 1994

1.7.5.2.5 Complex AEPNGE'p'r'o'cii gers '%Ibad;:;::ice'i@ 'p,,:ectd'i i,~:c.t oCook Nuclear plant sinai are designated as "In Hand" procedures. 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 DOCUNENT CONTROL 1.7.6.1 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 INP LEHENTATION 1.7.6.2.1 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

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 CONTROL OF PURCHASED ITEN AND SERVICES 1.7.7.1 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 IHPLENENTATION 1.7.7.2.1 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!!: q! t t b "e!'"t '4!!iv, imposed in a practical manner at the time of procurement, programs for dedication to safety-related standards are established bj;'/he,':,.:."ASPIC c'ocgnd;:za'nt'::::::.::en'gi'n'ee'ri:, and accomp1ished prior to the item being accepted for safety-re1ated use.
1.7.7.2.3 In-process audits of suppliers activities during fabrication, inspection, testing and shipment of items are performed when deemed necessary, depending upon supplier qualification status, complexity of
- 1. 7-52 July, 1994
the item(s) being furnished, the items'mportance to safety, and/or previous supplier history. These audits are performed by AEPSC gA. The cognizant engineer and/or responsible Cook Nuclear Plant personnel may also participate, if deemed necessary.
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!!iV 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 IHPLEHENTATION 1.7.8.2.1 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.
1.7-56 Duly, 1994
1.7.8.2.4 Requirements for the identification by use of heat number, part number, serial number, etc., are included in AEPSC Specifications {DCCs) and/or the procurement document.
1.7.8.2.5 Separate storage is provided for incorrect or defective items that are on hold and material which has been accepted for use. All safety-related items are appropriately tagged or identified {stamping, etc.) to provide easy identification as to the items'sage status. Records are maintained for the issue of items to provide traceability from storage to end use in the Cook Nuclear Plant.
1.7.8.2.6 When materials are subdivided, appropriate identification numbers are transferred to each section of the material, or traceability is maintained through documentation.
1.7.9 CONTROL OF SPECIAL PROCESSES 1.7.9.1 SCOPE Special processes are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using approved procedures and equipment in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, criteria and other special requirements.
1.7.9.2 IRPLBlENTATION 1.7.9.2.1 Processes subject to special process controls are those for which full verification or characterization by direct inspection is impossible or impractical. Such processes include welding, heat treating, chemical 1.7-57 July, 1994

Procedures exist which provide for the use of calibration and rejection stickers, tags, stamps and other forms of identification to indicate test and inspection status. The Clearance Permit System uses various tags to identify equipment and system operability status. Another program establishes a tagging system for lifted leads, etc. for those items requiring calibration, the program provides for physical indication of calibration status by calibration stickers, or a'ontrol system is used.
1.7-70 July, 1994
Application and removal of inspection and welding stamps, and of'uch status indicators as tags, markings, labels, etc., is controlled by plant procedures.
The inspection status of materials received at the Cook Nuclear Plant is identified in accordance with established instructions. The status is identified as Hold, Hold for guality Control Clearance, Reject, or Accept.
The inspection status of work in progress is controlled by the use of hold points in procedures. Plant guality Control, or departmental ANSI N18. 1 qualified personnel (reference 1.7. 10.2.4 herein), inspect an activity at various stages and sign off the procedural inspection steps.
The status of welding is controlled through the use of a weld data block which identifies the inspection and NDE status of each weld.
1.7.14.2.3 Required surveillance test procedures are defined in PNIs. These instructions provide for documenting bypassed tests and rescheduling of the test.
The status of testing after minor maintenance is recorded as part of the Dob Order iud)ot;gir'i'ceder:e. The status of testing after major maintenance is included as part of the procedure, and includes the performance of functional testing and approval of data by supervisory personnel.
Testing, inspection and other operations important to safety are conducted in accordance with properly reviewed and approved procedures.
The PNI for plant procedures requires that procedures be followed as written. Alteration to the sequence of a procedure can only be Duly, 1994
accomplished by a procedure change which is subject to the same controls as the original review and approval. Mhen an immediate procedure change is required to continue in-process work or testing and the required complete review and approval process cannot be accomplished, an "On The Spot" change is processed in accordance with the PNI on plant procedures.
1;7.14.2.4 Nonconforming, inoperable, or malfunctioning structures, systems and components are clearly identified by tags, stickers, stamps, etc., and documented to prevent inadvertent use.
1.7.15 NONCONFORNING ITEMS 1.7. 15. 1 SCOPE Naterials, parts, or components that do not conform to requirements are controlled in order to prevent their inadvertent use. Nonconforming items ar e identified, documented; segregated when practical and dispositioned. Affected organizations are notified of nonconformances.
1.7.15.2 IHPLENENTATION 1.7.15.2.1 Items, services, or activities that are deficient in characteristic, documentation, or procedure, which render the quality unacceptable or indeterminate, are identified as nonconforming and any further use is controlled. Nonconformances are documented and dispositioned, and notification is made to affected organizations. Personnel authorized to disposition, conditionally release and close out nonconformances are designated.
The Job Order System and/or the Condition Reports (refer to 1.7. 16 herein) are used at Cook Nuclear Plant'to identify nonconforming items and initiate corrective action for items which are installed or have 1.7-72 July, 1994
V been released to the Cook Nuclear Plant. Systems, components, or materials which require repair or inspection are controlled under the Job Order System. In addition, the various procedures identified in 1.7. 14 herein provide for identification, segregation and documentation of nonconforming items.
1.7.15.2.2 Nonconforming items are identified by marking, tagging, segregating, or by documented administrative controls. Documentation describes the nonconformance, the disposition of the nonconformance and the inspection requirements. It also includes signature approval of the disposition.
Completed Job Orders are reviewed by the supervisor responsible for accomplishing the work, and the supervisor of the department/section that originated the Job Order. The OA 8epgi,'tment periodically audits the Job Order System, and on a sample basis, Job Orders.
1.7.15.2.3 Items that have been repaired or reworked are inspected and tested in accordance with the original inspection and test requirements, or alternatives, that have been documented.
Items that have the disposition of "repair" or "use-as-is" require documentation justifying acceptability. The changes are recorded to denote the as-built condition.
Mhen required by established procedures, surveillance or operability tests are conducted on an item after rework, repair or replacement.
1.7.15.2.4 Disposition of conditionally released items are closed out before the items are relied upon to perform safety-related functions.
