2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The QA Program is implemented and controlled in accordance with the Operations Quality Assurance Plan (OQAP) and is applicable to structures, systems components, and activities to an extent consistent with their importance to safety, and complies with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B and other program commitments as appropriate.
Graded Quality Assurance is one element of STP's Comprehensive Risk Management (CRM) Program. Graded Quality Assurance provides the process by which risk-based methodology [i.e., Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)] and performance-based information analyses are combined to provide direction as to what levels of programmatic controls are needed for systems, components or activities, and as to the levels of first line and independent oversight needed to provide necessary assurance that items will operate safely and activities are accomplished as prescribed. The CRM Program is implemented by Working Groups who provide risk-informed, performance-based recommendations to an Expert Panel. The Expert Panel is a multi-discipline group comprised of high-level management representing Design and Systems Engineering, Nuclear Licensing, Industry Relations, Risk and Reliability Analysis, Quality, and Plant Management. The Expert Panel is chartered with guiding the implementation of the CRM Program.
The QA Program is implemented in a " graded" manner, and is comprised of two separate and distinct programs, which are implemented in three graded applications (i.e. " Full", " Targeted", and " Basic"). Part A of the l OQAP represents the program implementation requirements for both " Full" and " Targeted" application. Part B of the OQAP represents the program implementation requirements for " Basic" application.
l " Full" program controls are applied for items and activities determined to be "high" safety significant/ risk important.

OPERATIONS QUAUTY ASSURANCE PLAN PAGE 2 OF 8 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION EFFECTIVE DATE 08-01-96
" Targeted" program controls are applied for items and activities which, while not being "high" safety i significant/ risk important, are determined to be !
significant/important for other reasons. " Full" i program controls will be applied in a selected manner and specifically " Targeted" at those characteristics / attributes of the item or activity which render it significant or important.
" Basic" program controls are applied for items and activities which, while not being "high" safety significant/ risk important or significant/important for other reasons, are nevertheless subject to the controls ;
of 10CFR50, Appendix B. I NOTE: An analysis of items and activities to determine which level of program controls are appropriate must be completed prior to designation as " Targeted" or )
" Basic". Until these analyses are complete, " Full" progam controls will be applied across the board.
2.2 The QA Program will also extend, as applicable and/or determined by STP management, to programs including 10CFR71, Subpart H (except design and fabrication of NRC certified radioactive waste shipping casks), ASME l Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Sections III and XI, !
Fire Protection Program, Emergency Plan, Radiological 1 Environmental Monitoring Program, Radwaste Management l Program, Computer Program Verification and Control, Seismic and Environmental Equipment Qualification Programs, Radiation Protection Program, and Station Blackout (SBO) systems and equipment.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
^
3.1 Full program controls - The highest levels of program controls and oversight that are to be afforded to items and activities determined to be "high" safety significant/ risk ;

Addendum 2 describes the two different programs that shall be applied as appropriate for plant items and activities.
Figure 1 on Addendum 3 defines the logic and criteria the Working Group and Expert Panel shall use in determining the appropriate level of program controls to be applied to plant equipment and activiti:s.
There are two different programs to be applied in three different manners: " Full", " Targeted", and
" Basic" levels of program control.
" Full" program controls are applied to items and activities determined to have "high" risk significance.
" Targeted" program controls are applied to items and activities that, while not having "high" risk significance, are determined to be significant for other reasons. " Full" program controls are applied in a selected manner and specifically " Targeted" at those characteristics / attributes of the item or activity which render it risk significant.
" Basic" program controls are applied to items and activities that, while not having "high" risk significance or significance for other reasons, are nevertheless subject to the controls of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

provide performance reports to the Working Group. These reports shall provide performance information for the current and two prior six months periods, by organization and attributes.
These reports indude both positive and negative indicators that are graded on a scale of one to five using the following criteria:
- 1) Sustained excellence
- 2) Good with an improving trend
- 3) Good perfonnance
- 4) Good with a declining trend
- 5) Poor performance For any performance attribute with a rating of four or five, the OEG shall provide accompanying backup information along with the report, for Working Group and Expert Panel analysis purposes.

Addendum 1 Page 4 of 5 l GRADED QUALITY ASSURANCE 1 GQA WORKING GROUP:
The GQA Working Group shall be chaired by the representative from Systems Engineering and have members from Design Engineering, Quality, Risk and Reliability Analysis, Operating Experience, Licensing, Operations and Maintenance / Work Control. This membership will be augmented as needed, depending on the topics under consideration.
The GQA Working Group members shall be senior level personnel with backgrounds that enable them to render logical recommendations. GQA Working Group membership shall be endorsed by the Expert Panel.
The GQA Working Group shall meet, as a minimum, biannually, to establish and/or adjust levels of programmatic control and oversight.
The GQA Working Group shall consider plant systems / components / items / activities in accordance with Addendum 3. They shall consider plant and activity performance provided by the OEG, as applicable, per Addendum 3. Specific attention shall be afforded to areas of poor or declining performance, with special attention to activities which have or can have direct effect on plant systems and components. These considerations, as they may be augmented by group members' deterministic insights, form the bases for recommendations regarding the levels of programmatic controls to be imposed on systems, components, items and activities. They also form the basis for recommending the levels of oversight (both line and independent) that should be afforded to station activities.
Recommendations developed by the GQA Working Group shall be documented and shall be forwarded to the Expert Panel for their consideration and concurrence. Documentation shall include, as a minimum, the following:
Detailed recommendations for systems / component / item categorization (i.e., full, targete.d or basic levels of control).
Detailed recommendations for activities categorization (i.e., full, targeted or basic levels of control).
The bases for making those recommendations (i.e., including PSA inputs, performance analysis l results, details regarding any other deterministic inputs).
l Activities, systems and components not within the scope of the PSA, including balance of plant l
performance, instrumentation, mode transition and shutdown operations, or not completely modeled must be considered from a deterministic bases. Addendum 3 lists appropriate questions to be applied to items meeting the above criteria to determine if further significance assessment should be applied. As appropriate, the significance of items identified pursuant to these questions i shall be assessed by the Working Group using expert solicitation techniques such as a Delphi !

1 FULL:
Full Program Controls are defined as the highest levels of program controls and oversight that are to be afforded to items and activities. These are in full compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, and additionally represent compliance with the applicable STP UFSAR commitments relative to USNRC Regulatory Guides and ANSI Standards which they endorse. Other recognized industry standards are applied, as appropriate. These controls shall be prescribed in implementing procedures specific to the item or activity.
Items and activities categorized to receive across-the-board full Program Controls are afforded multi-tiered levels of oversight consisting ofindependent/ dual line verification as appropriate plus focused independent oversight in the form of audits, performance monitoring, assessment, evaluation, inspection, and/or testing, as appropriate to the item or activity. These items and activities shall remain in this category, regardless of performance, due to their high level of risk significance /importance.
In the event that OEG performance reports indicate a declining trend in performance of these items or activities for two consecutive reporting periods, a "CAQ-S" Condition Report shall be initiated in accordance with OPGP03-ZX-0002, to determine the apparent cause and initiate appropriate corrective actions. If poor performance is indicated, a "S-CAQ" Condition Report shall be initiated (if one has not already been) to effect a root cause investigation and appropriate corrective actions.

i GRADED QA PROGRAM CONTROLS (Continued)
TARGETED: 1 I
Activities categorized to receive Targeted Full Program Controls are subjected to the same levels of program controls applied to those attributes of the item or activity which placed it into that category. This i requires a detailed analysis by the Working Group of the item or activity to determine its attributes. This {
analysis shall be documented, along with the basis for selection of the full program attributes determined to be appropriate to that item or activity. Until such time as this analysis is completed, across-the-board i program controls shall be maintained. These items and activities shall also be afforded multi-tiered levels i of line and independent oversight targeted to those attributes which placed them into this category.
Targeted items and activities shall have the same level of Corrective Action Program thresholds as those items and activities categorized for across-the-board Full Program applicability. Any time performance reports indicate declining or poor performance, the Working Group shall additionally revisit the program attributes and oversight applied to those items or activities to confirm that the decisions made were appropriate. Adjustments shall be made, as necessary. These considerations shall be documented and !
included in the recommendations to the Expert Panel.

l GRADED QA PROGRAM CONTROLS (Continued) :
l BASIC: )
Basic Program Controls are defined as good business practices which reflect the most economical and efficient means of conducting business while maintaining compliance with the basic requiremerts of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. They do not reflect the strict controls as depicted in USNRC Regulatory Guides and the ANSI standards they endorse. Other industry standards are applied, as appropriate. These controls shall be prescribed in implementing procedures specific to the item or activity.
Items and activities categorized to receive basic levels of program controls shall be afforded minimal levels of oversight. The primary means of verification shall be by the line organization, with periodic selected independent oversight in the form of audits, performance monitoring, assessments, evaluations, l inspection, and/or testing as appropriate to the item or activity.
In the event that OEG performance reports indicate declining or poor performance of these items or activities, the Working Group shall revisit the categorization to confirm that it was appropriate. If not (e.g., it should have been categorized as Targeted or higher), the item or activity shall be recategorized and a "CAQ-S" Condition Report shall be initiated to determine the apparent cause of the mis-categorization and effect appropriate corrective actions.
If the Working Group concludes that the categorization is appropriate, the declining or poor performance of the item or activity, by definition, cannot constitute a Significant Condition Adverse to Quality; however, remediation of declining or poor performance is desirable. If performance declines for two consecutive reporting periods or is poor, a "CAQ-S" Condition Report shall be initiated to determine the apparent cause and effect the appropriate corrective actions.

PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ASESSMENT KISK RANKING
1.0 Purpose and Scope
Describe the methods and criteria used to rank the risk significance of systems, components, and operator actions within the scope of the PSA. This procedure is applicable to those items contained in the STP risk models.
2.0 Definitions 2.1 Risk Ranking: the process by which systems, structures, and components within the scope of the PSA analysis are grouped based on their risk significance.
2.2 Importance Measures: standard calculations which quantify the significance of systems, structures, and components within the scope of the PSA analyses.
2.3 Fussell-Vesely
an imponance measure which is defined as the ratio of the difference of the core damage frequency (or other figure of merit) with the component failed from the core damage frequency with the component successful over the average core damage frequency.
2.4 Risk Achievement Worth: an importance measure which is defined as the ratio of the core damage frequency (or other figure of merit) given the component is failed to the average core damage frequency.
2.5 Common Cause: a ponion of the system analysis that evaluates components to determine their vulnerability to multiple component failures due to a common, shared event and not a dependent event.
2.6 Risk Reduction Worth: an importance measure which is defined as the ratio of the core damage frequency (or other figure of merit) given the component is successful to the average core damage frequency.

OPGP01-ZA-0304 Rev.O Page 6 of 6 PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ASESSMENT RISK RANKING ADDENDUM 2 RISK SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLDS The basis for the risk significance thresholds is as follows:
o For the low category, top event importance is used as a first filter to segregrate systems and components whose cumulative contributions are less than a prescribed value. The prescribed threshold values are obtained from Figures 4-1 and 4-2 of Reference 3.3 which is based on the current values of core damage frequency (CDF) and large, early release frequency (LERF).
o By using top event importance the combined effects of components which comprise the scope of the top event are quantified. If the top event importance is less than the specified threshold by Reference 3.3, then a high degree of confidence is obtained to conclude that none of the components within the scope of the top event have any risk significance.

1.0 Purpose and Scope
To define the structure, functions, controls, and applications of the South Texas Project (STP)
Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) program. This procedure is applicable to structures, systems, components, and human actions for all plant operating modes and configurations within the scope of the PSA. The PSA program includes, but is not limited to, the STP Level 1 PSA (Reference 3.1), the Level 2 PSA/IPE (Reference 3.2), the Probabilistic Shutdown Safety Assessment, updates to these models, and analyses performed using these models.
The control elements associated with the STP PSA program are:
i
=
Configuration Control; l
. Software Control; and Application Control.
These elements provide the necessary controls to perform risk-based analyses at STP and to ensure that appropriate technical bases and associated documentation with respect to plant design, procedural processes, and plant performance are incorporated. The relationship between these I control elements is shown in Figure 1. l 1
2.0 Definitions '
l 2.1 Configuration Control - activities necessary to identify, evaluate, and disposition changes or revisions to items associated with PSA inputs, as appropriate.
2.2 Software Control - activities related to maintaining computer software configuration control associated with quantification of PSA inputs or processes.
2.3 Application Control - activities related to updating or revising risk-based evaluations or l
other risk-based deliverables within the scope of PSA models, as appropriate. l 3.0 References 3.1 Level 1 PSA l 3.2 Level 2 PSA/IPE 3.3 Fire PSA Update 3.4 Risk-Based Evaluation of Technical Specifications 3.5 PLG's Appendix B Software QA Program l 3.6 ORAM Model Documentation. l 3.7 STP Probabilistic Shutdown Safety Assessment DRAFT

5.0 Requirements 5.1 Configuration Control of the PSA 5.1.1 Scope of Analyses PSA configuration control is comprised of the following areas:
- Risk Models and Documentation;
- Data Analysis;
- Methodology; and
- Assumptions The STP PSA Program provides plant specific risk analyses of the STP units. Date and time stamps are used to establish the status of plant design and processes at the time of any analysis applicable to the PSA Program. The date and time stamps provide traceability of the results of a PSA analysis to the plant configuration at the time the analysis was performed.
5.1.2 Risk Models and Documentation Risk model documentation includes identification of references and other materials used to establish and model the response of the plant to various initiating events, operator actions, and recovery actions. Key components of risk model documentation include:
- Plant Models;
- System Models;
- SpatialInteractions Analysis;and
- System Success Criteria. I i

5.1.2.2 System Models On a system level, analyses are used to quantify the availability / reliability of plant equipment important to safety. Top events are defined for each system or function in terms of that system's success criteria. Fault trees are used to develop minimal cutsets which lead to failure of a top event. The j generated cutsets are modified to account for common cause failures, test and maintenance alignments, and unique boundary conditions.

5.1.2.3 Spatial Interactions Analysis - Scope and Overview Intemal plant hazards (e.g., internal floods, plant fire, or seismic response) are highly dependent on the location of risk-significant equipment relative to the hazard. Due to this dependence on plant geometry, the identification and screening of scenarios caused by internal plant hazards is referred to as SpatialInteractions Analysis. To perform this analysis, the sources of hazards within the plant and the available hazard mitigative features are tabulated. Then, by starting with the hazard sources and taking the potential propagation paths and mitigative feature into account, environmental hazard scenarios are constmeted for each location'.
Computerized methods are used to analyze this data and to determine the frequencies of the scenarios occurring. Finally, a list is generated of scenarios ranked by their contribution to the occurrence of various impact 2
vectors . The STP spatial interactions analysis is documented in the Level 1 PSA (Reference 3.1), the Level 2 PSA/IPE (Reference 3.2), and in the Fire PSA update (Reference 3.3).
5.1.2.4 System Success Criteria System success criteria are generally based on analyses performed to determine plant response to a UFSAR Chapter 15 accident (e.g., Large LOCA, with single failure assumed) or a scenario defined in the Fire Safe Shutdown Report. Any analyses which modify the system success criteria are documented in the success criteria section of each system notebook.
A " location" means a well-defined volume in the plant that does not overlap another location. In general, fire zones as defined in a Fire Hazards Analysis are a good starting point for locations used in Spatial Interaction Analysis.
2 Impact vectors are combinations of system success / failure, initiating events, and event tree top events.

Rev.O Page 7 of 12 OPGP04-ZA-0604 PROBAHILISTIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM 5.1.2 Data Analysis - Scope and Overview Data used in the PSA consists of generic data and plant-specific data. The generic data used in the Level 1 STP PSA quantifications performed in 1988 and 1989 was provided by PLG. Inc. Since then, selected plant-specific data has been incorporated into the PSA. In 1993, a successful comprehensive effort was made to perform a full scope update of plant-specific failure data. Future updates are planned for each Unit I refueling outage, and these updates will also be used as an input for Maintenance Rule (10CFR50.65) compliance. The types of data which can be updated include:
- equipment failum rates;
- human performance assumptions;
- initiating event frequencies (internal and external events);
- planned and unplanned maintenance frequencies;
- planned and unplanned maintenance durations;
- testing fmquencies and durations;
- common cause failure rates; and e
other performance data (e.g., fraction of time supplemental purge valves are open; fraction of time Pressurizer PORV block valves are closed, etc.)
5.1.3 PSA Methodology Probabilistic methods and techniques used in the original STP PSA are documented in the Level 1 PSA, the Level 2 PSA/IPE, and the Risk Based Evaluation of Technical Specifications (Reference 3.4). Ne w PSA methodology will be incorporated on a case-by-case basis depending upon its applicability to STP.
5.1.4 PSA Assumptions Assumptions made in the Level 1 PS A and Level 2 PSA/IPE range from those concerning construction of plant systems / equipment to those associated with plant transient and accident response. Documentation of assumptions made in the PSA are individually documented in the Level 1 PSA, Level 2 PSA/IPE, event tree notebooks, plant system notebooks, or other documents, as appropriate.

5.2 PSA Software Control 5.2.1 Scope and Overview 1 Only the software used to quantify and document quality risk-based calculations is included within the scope of this procedure.
The at-power (Mode 1) risk analysis performed at STP uses RISKMAN , a proprietary software program developed by PLG, Inc. A site license is maintained for RISKMAN in order to perform plant level event tree and system level fault tree quantifications. l The probabilistic safe shutdown analysis (PSSA) at STP uses the EPRI code ORAM l (Outage Risk Assessment Module) and Riskman . ORAM is used for PSA analyses when the STP units are in Modes 4,5,6, or defueled. Plant conditions during shutdown configurations are evaluated by ORAM using qualitative and quantitative analyses. Documentation of STP's PSSA models is contained in Reference 3.6. ORAM software control is provided by EPRI and Erin Engineering, Inc.
5.2.2 Software Configuration Control Configuration control of RISKMAN and verification and validation (V&V) requirements are maintained by PLG, Inc., pursuant to 10CFR50, Appendix B. The STP PSA program takes credit for PLG's Appendix B program with respect to software configuration contrui and V&V (Reference 3.5). To ensure that RISKMAN properly !
performs risk-based calculations at STP, a test case with a known input and output is j run to document the accurate installation and performance of RISKMAN on STP PC workstations. Performance of the test case is documented per QA document in the RISKMAN Software.
5.2.3 Software Development and Enhancement STP is also a member of the RISKMAN* Technology Group (RTG), which is a user group comprised of utilities and nationallaboratories who use RISKMAN . Further development and application of RISKMAN and RISKMAN code maintenance are directed by the RTG. By participating in the RTG, STP is involved in the identification and correction of software errors as well as other RISKMAN enhancements.

Rev.O Page 9 of 12 OPGP04-ZA-0604 PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM 5.3 PSA Application Control Control of PSA applications at STP is accomplished by ensuring that the PSA model and required changes used for the application are appropriate. The technical basis and changes required by the analysis are reviewed, approved, and documented. This provides adequate traceability and control.
5.4 Training PSA overview training is provided to selected plant staff on a case-by-case basis and is specifically tailored for the tTrget audience. PSA training for analysts is accomplished through a combination of on-the-jeb training and formal PSA seminars and lectures.
6.0 Documentation 6.1 Selected Stand-Alone Reports or other risk based analyses, as required, are submitted to requesting organizations and to STP Records Management Services.
6.2 Periodic Repons or other updates are provided for existing applications, as required, and are also submitted to client organizations and to STP Record Management Services, as appropriate.

1.0 Purpose and Scope
1.1 To define, disposition, implement, and maintain the data inputs to the Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) risk models.
1.2 This procedure is applicable to all components and human actions contained in the STP PSA Programs.
2.0 Definitions 2.1 Event Tree: graphical representations of succession ofindividual events which in combination identifies all possible sequences of events leading to a predefined failure event ofinterest (e.g., core damage).
2.2 Fault Tree: graphical representation of a failure event of interest or " top event" which illustrates the logical relationship all of the subevents contributing to that event. l 2.3 PSA Inputs: The set of data and information required by the PSA, as appropriate, to accurately reflect the design, procedural processes, and human interaction of the facility to j be analyzed and to quantify the probability and uncertainty of selected events.
2.4 Basic Event: the lowest level of subevents that contribute to a fault tree top event.
l 2.5 Initiating Event: any event that can cause a plant trip or otherwise initiate a sequence of events with a significant probability of core damage.
2.6 Recovery Factor: a numerical value used to determine the likelihood that human actions (i.e., operator actions) successfully " recover" a component or function that has initially ,
failed.
l 2.7 Success Criteria: the minimum level of system or equipment performance that must be achieved in order to satisfy a selected function ofinterest.
2.8 PSA Applications: analyses performed using the results of the PSA. These analyses are
! generally performed to support a specific activity (e.g.,50.59 review) or program (technical specification optimization / relaxation). A list of active applications is maintained by Risk and Reliability Analysis. Active applications support STP organizations and processes.
