\_) Revision 12 QUALITY ASSCRANCE PROGRAM Date 4/2/82 1.0 GENERAL The President and Chief Executive Officer of Consumers Power Company has issued a " Statement of Authority and Responsibility" which commits the Company to develop and implement a Quality Assurance Program for the design and construction of the Midland Nuclear Plant, in compliance with NRC Regulatory Requirements and applicable Industry Codes and Standards. The Quality Assurance Program is documented in the Consumers Power Company Quality Assurance Program Manual for the Midland Nuclear Plant (this document). The Manual defines the Quality Assurance Program established by Consumers Power Company to assure that the Midland Nuclear Plant is designed and constructed with the controls required to prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The scope of this Quality Assurance Program covers design, procurement, construction and preoperational testing activities associated with the Plant. The Quality Assurance Program assures that activities affecting quality are accomplished by use of appropriate equipment and under suitable environmental conditions. The program establishes the requirements for special controls, processes, test equipment, tools and qualified personnel.

(]) Assurance Regulatory Guider., and the NRC Grey, Green and Orange Books, pr0780-0416a-13-167
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM POLICY Policy No 2 Page 2 of 11 Revision 12 QUALITi ASSURANCE PROGRAM Date 4/2/82 referred to as the Rainbow Books and/or WASH Documents (1283, S/24/74; 1309, 5/10/74; and 1284, 10/26/73, respectively). Exceptions and/or explanations follow:
- a. Subsection "a" of Section D-1 in the Grey Book requires that, "A schedule of all safety-related nuclear power plant activities to be performed by each organization along with the required procedures or instructions to implement the corresponding Quality Assurance Program for the activity should be prepared (and periodically updated to ir.dicate status) to assure timely development, approval and implementation of these Quality Assurar e Procedures or instructions prior to initiation of the activity." Consumers Power Company does not have a schedule relating to timely development, approval and implementation of procedures and instructions. In lieu of this schedule, Consumers Power Company does require that procedures or instructions be prepared prior to initiation of safety-related activities (and revised when necessary) and does verify, during audits, that the procedures have been prepared and are being implemented.
- b. Only thos portions of the Orange Book relating to preoperational and hot
. functional testing will apply.
- c. Consumers Power Company uses the definitions of terms provided in ANSI l N45.2.10-1973 for safety-related activities with the following exceptions:
Audit is defined as "A documented activity performed in accordance with written procedures or checklists to verify, by examination and evaluation of objective evidence, that applicable elements of a Quality Assurance Program have been developed, documented and effectively implemented in accordance with specified requirements. An audit does not include surveillance or inspection for the purpose of process control or product acceptance."
Construction Phase is defined as " Activities at the building site necessary to erect and verify proper installation and performance of nuclear power plant facilities prior to initial fuel loading."
Nonconformance is defined as "A deficiency in characteristic, documentation, or procedure which renders the quality of an item unacceptable or indeterminate and which is considered significent to quality or safety. Examples include:
" Physical defects, test failures, incorrect or inadequate documentation, dwiation from prescribed processing, inspection, or test procedures."
Procurement Documentation is defined as " Purchase Requisitions (prs),
Purchase Orders (P0s), Local Purchase Orders (LP0s), Returned Material pr0780-0416a-13-167

' Date U2/82 Requests (RMRs), drawings, contracts, specifications, and instructions used to define requirements for the purchase of materials, equipment or s e rvices . "
- d. bection 5.6 of ANSI N45.2.9 requires that the permanent record storage l facility have " structure, doors, frames, and hardware should be Class A fire-rated with a recommended four-hour minimum rating." In lieu of this, the existing Consumers Power Company permanent record storage facility has a two-hour fire rating.
- e. Consumers Power Company follows the guidance of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.58 with the following exceptions:
Section C.1 Requirement "However, for qualification of personnel (1) who approve preoperational, start-up and operational test procedures and test results and (2) who direct or supervise the conduct of individual preoperational, start-up and i 7y operational tests, the guidelines contained in Regulatory
('~' ) Guide 1.8, Personnel Selection and Training, should be fol'1 owed in lieu of the Guidelines of ANSI N45.2.6-1978."
Exception / Interpretation This requirement is interpretated to not apply to System Protection and Laboratory Services. This department has developed its qualification program based on ANSI N45.2.6 and provides services throughout the construction phase of the Midland Nuclear Plant. The program includes the certification of First-Line Supervisors to ANSI N45.2.6 and additional specific requirements determined by the work l activity involved.
l Section C.5 Requirement l
l l "In addition, the individual should be capable of reviewing and approving inspection, examination, and testing procedures and of evaluating the adequacy of such procedures to accomplish the inspection, examination, and l
test objectives."

Company as requiring personnel who review, approve or evaluate such procedures to be certified as Level III personnel.
Section C.6 Requirement j
"Since only one set of recommendations is provided for the education and experience of personnel, a commitment to comply with the regulatory position of this guide in lieu of providing un alternative to the recommendations of the standard means that the specified education and experience recommendations of the standard will be followed."
Exception / Interpretation The education and experience recommendations given in ANSI S45.2.6, Section 3.5 will be treated as such, since the Consumers Power Company qualification and certification program is based upon these recommendations, and more significantly, upon satisfactory completion of capability testing prior to certification. It is the Consumers Power Company position that a candidate should not be required to be a high school graduate or have earned the GED equivalent for the above reasons.
Section C.10 Requirement "Use of the measures outlined in these actions to establish that an individual has the required qualifications in lieu of required education and experience should result in documented evidence (ie, procedure and record of written test) demonstrating that the individual indeed does have comparable or equivalent competence to that which would be gained from having the required education and experience."
Exception / Interpretation Consumers Power Company will maintain documented objective evidence that demonstrates that an indivdua) does have
" comparable" or " equivalent" competence to that which would be gained from having the required education and experience. However, this may take the form of documentation other than " procedures and records of written test" such as documentation or oral tests and on-the-job performance demonstrations.

The lead design organization, at the direction of the !!idland Project Design Production ?!anager, establishes and controls the interf aces with other design organizations. These interfaces include !!echanical, Electrical, Civil, ?!etallurgical, Instrumentation and Control, and Nuclear disciplines as well as functional interfaces. The lead design organization reviews the designs of other organizations to assure compatibility of design and equipment.
3.3 DESIGN DOCDIENTS Each group or organization performing detailed design translates the applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, codes, standards and design criteria into design documents, such as: specifications, drawings, standards, materials, lists, process procedures and other types of requirements documents.
3.4 DESIGN VERIFICATION The assigned lead design group or organization assures that the designs and materials are suitable and that they comply with design criteria and O
regulatory requirements. Verification of design is performed by individuals other than those who performed the original design. The extent of the design verification is determined by the complexity of the system, the safety-related function to be performed, and the applicability of regulatory requirements, codes, standards, SAR commitments and Quality Assurance requirements. The lead design group or organization identifies the particular verification methods to be utilized, and if a test program is used, it includes testing of a prototype under the most adverse design conditions. Audit & ?!anagement Systems with assistance from other Consumers l Power Company departments, conducts audits to assure that the design is reviewed, and the review documented in such areas as: Stress, thermal, hydraulics. transient and accident analysis, compatibility of materials, accessibility for inservice inspection, maintenance and repair, and acceptance criteria for inspections and tests. The assigned lead group or organization establishes procedures to assure that errors and deficiencies in the design process that adversely affect safety-related structures, systems and components are documented and corrective action is taken to preclude repetition.
Standard off-the-shelf commercial or previously approved materials, parts and equipment essential to the safety-related functions of structures, systems and components are reviewed for suitability of application before they are selected.

1.0 GENERAL Corrective action is that action taken to correct and preclude recurrence of significant ccaditions adverse to the quality of items or activities. Condi- l tions or trends observed or identified which are adverse to quality are considered for corrective action; however, nonconformances or departures from specified requirements which are not significant to safety, occur randomly, are of a minor nature or which are routinely corrected without the need for a technical evaluation may not require c0rrective actien. Correttive actica i includes an evaluation of the conditions that led to a nonconformance, the disposition of the nonconformance and completion of the action necessary to prevent or reduce the possibility of recurrence. Nonconformances are evaluated to determine the need for corrective action under the control of established procedures. Corrective action is documented and corrective action status is reported to Management. The organication responsible for the item or activity identified for corrective action is responsible for completion of the action and maintaining corrective action status. The Quality Assurance organizations are responsible for verifying completion of corrective action for their respective responsibility areas. l 2.0 BASIS DOCUMENTS

3.0 POLICY 3.1 INITIATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION Corrective action is initiated to correct conditions adverse to the quality of items and activities. The head of the organization or department responsible for the item or activity is responsible for initiating action to correct the immediate condition. He is also responsible for evaluating the condition to determine if additional action is required to prevent or reduce the possibility of recurrence. Conditions which require additional action to prevent recurrence are a matter of judgment, but the following conditions are always evaluated:
- a. Failure of safety-related structure, system, component or part which is significant to safety.
- b. Defect of a safety-related item that could, if uncorrected, lead to fr.ilure or malfunction which is significant to safety.
