CHANGE REVIEW FORM' PROPOSED CHANGE:
Change the definitions of Basic Component, Commercial Grade and Dedication in accordance with page 2. i These definitions are located in the QuMty Arsurance Frogram Manual, Chapter 2 Attachment 7A The proposed definitions are extractions from 10CFR21.
7 10CFR60.54 REVIEW: 1
- 1. Does the proposed change represent a reduction of commitment ** Yes No to the QA Program description previously accepted by the NRC? ,
Explain:
Th3 new 10CFR21 definitions are broadened to include structures, systems, components or parts not designed as basic components. The previous definitions excluded items subject to design or specification requirements unique to the nuclear industry.
- 2. If item 1 above is YES, does the proposed change include the ia Yes No O N/A basis to conclude that the revised program incorporating the change continues to meet the criteria of 10CFR60 Appendix B and other previously. accepted FSAR commitments?
Explain' The propcsed definitions will not detract from our commitment to comply with 10CFR21,10CFR 50 Appendix B or the UFSAR. The QAPM identifies the source of the current definitions as *Enterg perations" and " Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations". Use of the definitions from 10CFR21 does not alter the ree(s) identified in the QAPM.

.. ,..> y Safety Related -
Based on the definition of basic component in 10CFR21, Safety related structures, systems, and components are those necessary to assure:
- 1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;
- 2. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or
- 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential off-site exposures comparable to the gulaelines of 10CFR100. >
In all cases, safety related includes design, inspection, testing or consulting services important to safety that are associated with the component hardware, whether these services are performed by the component supplier or by others.
Safety related is further divided into five categories:
o Safety Class 1
- o. Safety Class 2 o Safety Class 3 o IEEE 1E o Seismic Category I Specific definitions Safety Class 1,2,3 and IEEE 1E may be obtained by referencing Regulatory Guide 1.26; ANSI N18.2 - 1973; ANSI N18.2a - 1975; and IEEE-308 - 1971.
Supports that have a nuclear safety function shall be the same safety class as the components that they support.
-Seismic Category I includes those items that are designed to withstand the effects of a safe shutdown earthquake and remain functional. By definition, all of the safety related categories are designed to include the Seismic Category I requirements. Reference Regulatory Guide 1.29-1978.
Seismic Category I design requirements extend to the first seismic restraint beyond the defined boundaries. Those portions of structures, systems, or components that form interfaces between Seismic Category I and non-Seismic Category I features are designed to Seismic Category I requirements. See Regulatory Guide 1.29 - 1978, Regulatory Position C3.

~ The safety related items listed above make up the Waterford 3 Q-List. These items and '
related activities require full 10CFR50 Appendix B implementation. Fullimplementation
- should not be cor.strued to mean that each criterio_n necessarily applies, only that cxceptions will not be given or taken when the criterion is applicable. For instance, a supplier that provides testing services only, cannot be expected to have a design program in place. However, that supplier will be required to implement the remaining applicable -
criteria in their QA Program.
Special Scope - The Special Scope areas are listed in Chapter 2 of the Quality Assurance Program Manual and are addressed in the Quality Assurance Program Manual (Special.
Scope). Program implementation and applicable 10CFR50, Appendix B criteria are defined in EOMM policies and procedures. Reference Figure 1 to this appendix for a sample list of areas included as Special Scope.
Non-Nuclear Safety (NNS)- applies to portions of the nuclear power plant not covered by Safety Cl asses 1,2, or 3 that can influence safe normal operation or that may contain radioactive fluids.- Design of non-nuclear safety components shall be to applicable industry codes and standards. This applies primarily to components of secondary systems and waste disposal systems not otherwise covered. Also included are safety system components whose failures would not degrade system performance or cause a release to the environment of gaseous activity normally required to be held for decay (e.g., smali components).
Non-Safety Seismic (NSS) - includes those items whose continued function is not required but whose failure could reduce the function of any safety related equipment to an unacceptable level or could result in an incapacitating injury to occupants of the control room and should be designed and constructed so that the safe shutdown earthquake
- would not cause such failure. See Regulatory Guide 1.29 - 1978, Regulatory Position C2.
Other items (FSAR Table 3.2-1, Note 17) - Other structures, systems, and components identified on FSAR Table 3.2-1 and accompanied by note 17 receive applicable 10CFR50, Appendix B Quality Assurance. These areas have been evaluated to have some safety significance although they do not fall into any of the other safety classifications. Applicable program requirements are included in policies, procedures, procurement documents and other documentation as required.

The items included in the above section (Special Scope, Non-Nuclear Safety and Other items with FSAR Note 17) are identified on the Waterford 3 Q-Related List.
Implementation of a 10CFR50, Appendix B QA Program is based on a graded approach.
The applicable criteria is defined in either the Special Scope procedures, procurement documents, work packages, or applicable procedures. The criteria selection and program scope are identified by Engineering & Construction in concert with Quality Assurance and the tissponsible management.
SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION (SI) security-related documents not classified as-National Security information or Restricted Data, but protected from disclosure to the public an unauthorized persons. With respect to Waterford 3 SES, Si is any document which contains detailed information pertaining to:
- 1. Security measures for the physical protection of special nuclear materials; or

10CFR50.54 REVIEW:
- 1. Does the proposed change represent a reduction of commitment " Yeo No to the QA Program description previously accepted by the NRC?
Explain:
Th's change represents a lessening of commitment.
The current wording of this section, implies that all procurement documents receive an independent review regardles' of procurement classif, cation. MP&C, Materials Technical department performs an initial indepervient review of quality related purchase requisitions (defined as: safety related, commercial grade and special scope / augmented quality items) cnd inventory Control or Materials Technical performs an initial independent review cf procurement Level 4 purchase requisitions (defined as balance of plant), except as indicated below.
Non safety-related Balance-of-Plant material may be procured tu requirements estata shed in a blanket purche order, contract or vene'or stocked. For items procured by these methods, the end user ensures compliance with plant design basis and configuration at the time of installation, not Materials, Purchasing and Contracts personnel.
The prccurement process requires Materials Technical autnorization to implement changes to quali+y assurance and
- technica; requirements invoked on the procurement documents. When the change is requested determines whether or not a revision is issued. Whenever possible, the MP&C organization resolves supplier issue' . lor to orc'r placerrent.
Subsequent reorders are analyzed by trained personnel to determine if there have been any changes to quality tssurance or technical requirements to the item for quality related procurement documents, if changes have occurred, then the purchase requisition is reviewed by Materials Technical prior to conversion to a purchase order.

10CFR50.54 REVIEW:
- 1. Does the proposed change represent a reduction of commitment r* Yes No to the QA Program description previously accepted by the NRC?
Explain:
This change represents a lessening of commitment.
The current wording of this section, implies that audits and suiveillances are performed for all safety related vandors during fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipment....regardless of item complexity, supplier performance history or supplier status on the Entergy Operations. Inc. Qualified Suppliers List (OSL).
- 2. If item 1 above is YES, does the proposed change include the '* Yes No N/A basis to conclude that the revised program incorporating the change continues to meet the criteria of 10CFR50 Appendix B and other previously accepted FSAR commitments?
. Explain:
The proposed change represents a clarification of the requirement to concider whether audits or surveillance's a.'e needed during the procurement planning process. Safety related (not commercial grade) procurements are from Qualified Sepplier List (OSL) vendors, and the history of the supplier and the complexity of the procurement dictates whether source audit or surveillance is imposed for a particular order. The methods used to place suppliers on the OSL includes audits and surveillance's, 10CFR50 Appendix B requires: "The measures shall include provisions, as appropriate, for source evaluation and selection, objective evidence of quality fumished by the contractor or subcontractor, inspection at the contractor or subcontractor source.. ". The UFSAR addresses source surveillance through inclusion of the OAPM as a licensing document. The changed wording in Paragraph 5.3.1 of Chapter 7 will not detract from compliance to 10CFR50, Appendix B or UFSAR Commitments.

- 1. Does the proposed change represent a reduction of commitment E Yes No to the QA Program description previously accepted by the NRC? !
. Explain:
These changes represent a lessening of commitment.
The current wording of Section 5.1.1 states that ' applicable" safety related material is identified by heat numbers, date codes, lot numbers, part numbers or other appropriate means. The wording proposed clarifies when and how the applicability requirement is determined or invoked.
The current wording of Section 5.3.1 provides no definition of
- pertinent" records. Waterford 3 complies with ANSI N45.2.g for quality assurance records requirements. By changing from
- pertinent" to
- quality assurance
- the requirement is clarified.
The current wording of Section 5.3.3,1 regarding the marking requirenient for code class cut material infers that the same marking is required for small parts as for larger parts. ASME code contains provisions for alternate marking requirements for small pa ts. The proposed revision incorporates the ASME small parts provisions.
The current wording of Section 5.3.3.2 regarding the requirement for marking cut Non-Code material infers that each c ut piece is marked. Not all cut materialis able to be legibb/ marked due to size or marking surface restrictions. It is in keeping witn 10CFR50 Appendix B and ASME/ ANSI requirements to ensure traceability either en the item or on records traceable to the item. The proposed wording allows traceability to be maintained by other methods such as, bundling, segregation or tagging.
The document name is Material Inspection Report (MIR), not Mateng Receiving Inspection Report (MRIR). MRlR was terminology used during the construction phase for the current MIR.
- 2. If item 1 above is YES, does i he proposed change include the @ Yes No O N/A basis to conclude that the resised program incorporating the change continues to meet the cliteria of 10CFR50 Appendix B and other previous,1v accepted FSAR commitments?
Explain:
The changes are recommendeo to clarify that traceability marking requirements are imposed in order to comply with 10CFR50 Appendix B, ASME code and ASTM / ANSI /IEEE standards, construction or design specifications and procurement documents. Maintaining traceability of unmarked items, small products and cut material is considered on an cs required basis and established at the time of procurement or if divided by MP&C, at issue. Whenever possible, materialis marked, however, other methods, such as tagging, bundling or segregation may be more appropriate to the product.
"0CFR50 Appendix B requires: "These measures shall assure that identification of the item is maintained by the heat number, part number, serial number or other approptiate means either on the item or on records traceable to the item.. *.
The UFSAR addresses material traceability through inclusion of the QAPM as a licensing document. The clarification of the wording in Chapter 8, Paragraphs 5.1.1, 5.3.1 and 5.3.3.2 will not detract from compliance to 10CFR50, Appendix B or the UFSAR.

- Insulation resistance tests will be conducted upon receipt - only on motors equal to or greater than 460V, in accordance with IEEE Std. 43 and/or NEMA Std. MG1, 10CFR50.54 REVIEW:
- 1. Does the proposed change represent a reduction of commitment E Yes No to the QA Program description previously accepted by the NRC?
Explain:
Appendix A, Rev. 6.0 section O This change represents a lessening of commitment. The current wording of this section, which seems to irnply that all motors, regardless of voltage, will be tested for insuiction resistance, is not sufficiently detailed to reflect our intention to follow the guidance of IEEE Std. 43.
- Now Chapter 2. Attachment 7.2 af ter fonnat change.$V
- 2. If item 1 above is YES, does the proposed change include the W Yes O No O NIA basis to conclude that the revised program incorporating the change continues to 1.teet the criteria of 10CFR50 Appendix B and other previously accepted FSAR commit sents?
Explain:
IEEE Std. 43 cautions against insulation resistance testing of low potential machines if the test potential is too high.
The next smallest motor size available for use at Waterford, after 460V, is 230V. A motor of 230V tested with a msgohmmeter at the lowest test voltage setting of 500V would constitute a *de hi potential test,' not an insulation r:sistance test, arid may cause insulation overstress and failure.
Changing the wording of Chapter 2 Attachment 7.2, Section 6 to clarify our adherence to IEEE Std. 43, with regard to the insulation resistance testiN of motors, will not detract from our compliance to 10CFR50, Appendix B or FSAR commitments.

Reviewed By: QA Repre%tst$e date RECOMMENDATION:
O Does not represent a lessening of commitment and it can be implemented immediately.
Represents a lessening of commitment, however, the change has sufficient basis to Q demonstrate continued compliance with Appendix B and other FSAR commitments. Therefore, it should be submitted to the NRC for acceptance prior to implementation.
Represents a lessening of commitment with Insufficient basis to determine continued g compilance. Therefore, the change should not be processed.

7 .1-Safety Related Based on the definition of basic component in 10CFR21, Safety related structures, systems, and components are those necessary to assure:
- 1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;
- 2. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or
- 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential off-site emosures comparable to the guidelines of 10CFR100.
In all cases, safety related includes design, inspection, testing or consulting services important to safety that are associated with the component hardware, whether these services are performed by the component supplier or by others.
Safety related is further divided into five categories: .:
o Safety Class 1 o Safety Class 2 o SU?ety Class 3 o IEEE 1E o Seismic Category i Specific definitions Safety Class 1,2,3 and IEEE 1E may be obtained by referencing Regulatory Guide 1.26; ANSI N18.2 - 1973; ANSI N18.2a - 1975; and IEEE-308 - 1971.
Supports that have a nuclear safety function shall be the same safety class as the components that they support.
Seismic Category I includes those items that are designed to withstand the effects of a safe shutdown earthquake and remain functional. By definition, all of the safety related categories are designed to include the Seismic Category I requirements. Reference Regulatory Guide 1.29 - 1978.
Seismic Category I design requirements extend to the first seismic restraint beyond the defined boundaries. Those portions of structures, systems, or components that form interfaces between Seismic Cat; gory I and non-Seismic Category I features are designed to Seismic Category I requirements. See Regulatory Guide 1.29 - 1978, Regulatory Position C3.
Chapter 2 Fev.19 Attachment 7.4 (Page 13 of 19) 60
The safety related items listed above make up the Waterford 3 Q-List. These items and related activities require full 10CFR50 Appendix B implementation. Fullimplementation should not be construed to mean that each criterion necessarily applies, only that exceptions will not be given or taken when the criterion is applicable. For instance, a supplier that provides testing sentices only, cannot be expected to have a design program in place. However, that supplier will be required to implement the remaining applicable criteria in their QA Program.
Special Scope - The Special Scope areas are listed in Chapter 2 of the Quality Assurance Program Manual and are addressed in the Quality Assurance Program Manual (Special Scope). Program implementation and applicable 10CFR50, Appendix B criteria are defined in EOMM policies and procedures. Reference Figure 1 to this appendix for a sample list of areas included as Special Scope.
Non-Nuclear Safety (NNS)- applies to portions of the nuclear power plant not covered by Safety Classes 1,2, or 3 that can influence safe normal operation or that may contain r,7dioactive fluids. Design of non-nuclear safety components shall be to applicable industry codes and standards. This applies pnmarily to components of secondary systems and waste disposal systems not otherwise covered. Also included are safety system components whose failures would not degrade system performance or cause a release to the environment of gaseous activity normally required to be held for decay (e.g., small components).
Non-Safety Seismic (NSS) -includes those items whose continued function is not required but whose failure could redte ' the function of any safety related equipment to an unacceptable level or could result in an .vspacitating injury to occupants of the control room and should be designed and constructed so that the safe shutdown earthquake would not cause such failure. See Regulatory Guide 1.29 - 1978, Regulatory Position C2.
Other items (FSAR Table 3.2-1, Note 17) - Other structures, systems, and components identified on FSAR Table 3.2-1 and accompanied by note 17 receive applicable 10CFR50, Appendix B Quality Assurance. These areas have been evaluated to have some safety significance although they do not fall into any of the other safety classifications. Applicable program requirements are included in policies, procedures, procurement documents and other documentation as required.
Chapter 2 Rev.19 Attachment 7.4 (Page 14 of 19) 61
. . 4 l
The items included in the above section (Special Scope, Non Nuclear Safety and Other l
Items with FSAR Note 17) are identified on the Waterford 3 Q-Related List.
Implementation of a 10CFR50, Appendix B QA Program is based on a graded approach.
The applicable criteria is defined in either the Special Scope procedures, procurement documents, work packages, or applicable procedures. The criteria selection and program scope are identified by Engineering & Construction in concert with Quality Assurance and the responsible management.
SAFEGUARDS INFORMATiON (SI) security related documents not classified as National Security Information or Restricted Data, but protected from disclosure to the pubi.c an unauthorized persons. With respect to Waterford 3 SES, SI is any document which contains detailed information pertaining to:
- 1. Security measures for the physical protection of special nuclear materials; or
- 2. Security measures for the physical protection and location of certain plant equipment vital to the safety of production facilities. .:

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM CHANCE REVIEW FORM PROPOSED CHANGE: Chapter 2, Attachment 7.2 Rev.18 Change item 6 comment on new fuel assembly storage to read:
For the storage of new fuel assemblies and neutron sources, Waterford 3 commits to the storage requirements of Level B of ANSI N45.2.21972 less the flooding prevention requirements and will minimize dust and other particles contacting these items by placing a fire re'.:,,dnt polyethylene cover over these items or the cell locations in which the items are stored As an alternatrve to cry cell etorage with dust and particle protection, new fuel assemblies may be stored in the spent fuel pool.
10CFR50.54 REVIEW:
- 1. Does the proposed change represent a reduction of commitment to the @ Yes No QA Program description previously accepted by the NRC7 Explain:
The QAPM currently addresses only one storage option, the new fuel vault, for new fuel. Chapter 9, Section 9.1.1.2 of the FSAR describes two options for storage, the new fuel vault and the spent fuel pool. The QAPM was not revised to r;flect the storage options of the FSAR.
- 2. If item 1 above is YES, does the proposed change include the basis to x Yes No O N/A conclude that the revised program incorporating the change continues to meet the criteria of 10CFR50 Appendix B and other previously accepted FSAR commitments?
Explain:
Th3 storage of new fuel assemblies in the new fuel storage vault or the spent fuel poolis addressed in Chapter 9, Section 9.1.1.2 of the FSAR. This change to Chapter 2, Attachment 7.2 Rev.18, will make the QAPM consistent with th3 information in the FSAR. !} th storage methods have been affirmed by the NRC through previous approvals of the W \ 6MIQ6(
d Q/30/97 Reviewed By: 'QA Repr ntat[] / D6te RECOMMENDATION:
Does not represent a lessening of commitment and it can be irnplemented immediately.
Represents a lessening of commitment, however, the change i ss sufficient basis to demonstrate
=
continued compliance with Appendix B and other FSAR commitments. Therefore,it should be submitted to the NRC for acceptance prior to implementation.
Represents a lessening of commitment with insufficient basis to determine continued compilance.

Based on the definition 'of basic component in 10CFR21, Safety related structures, systems,~and components are those necessary to assure:
.1. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;
- 12. _ The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition;'orJ "
i 3, The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which wid result in ,
- potential off site exposures comparable to the guidelines of 10CFR100.
g in all cases,; safety related includes design, inspection, testing or consulting services
_ important to safety that are associated with the component hardware, whether these services are performed by the component supplier or by others. q Safety related is further divided into five categories; a l-- -o Safety Class 1 L .o. Safety Class 2 o Safety Class 3 o
, IEEE 1E ..
ll .o Seismic Category i Specific definitions Gafety Class 1,2,3 and IEEE 1E may be obtained by referencing Regulatory Guide 1.26; ANSI N18.2 - 1973; ANSI N18.2a - 1975; and IEEE-308 - 1971.
Supports that have a nuclear safety function shall be the same safety class as the -
L components that they support.
Seismic Category I includes those items that are designed to withstand the effects of a l-
- safe shutdown emithquake and remain functional. By definition, all of the safety related categories are designed to include the Seismic Category I requirements. Reference Regulatory Guide 1.2941978.
I L Seismic Category I design requirements extend to the first seismic rutraint beyond the defined boundaries. Those portions of structures, systems, or components that form interfaces between Seismic Category I and non-Seismic Category I features are designed to Seismic Ca_tegory I requirements..

iThe'safeG rolated items listed above make up the Wateiford 3.-Q List These items and related actwities require full 10CFR50 Appendix B implementation. Full implementation .
should not be construed to mean that each criterion necessarily applies, only that
- exceptions _will not be given or taken when the criterion is applicable. For instance, a <
- supplier that provides testing services only, cannot be expected to have a design program -
. In place. However, that supplier will be required to implement the remaining appeable .
- criteria'in their QA Program.
Special Scope - The Special Scope areas are listed in Chapter 2 of the Quality Assurance Program Manual and are addressed in the Quality Assurance Program Manual (Special Scope). Program implementation and applicable 10CFR50, Appendix B criteria are defined in EOMM policies and procedures. Reference Figure 1 to this appendix for a sample list of areas incladed as Special Scope.
Non-Nuclear Safety (NNS) - applies to portions of the nuclear power plant not covered by l
. Safety Classes 1, 2, or 3 that can influence safe normal operation or that may contain radioactive fluids. Design of non-nuclear safety components shall be to applicable industry codes and standards. This applies primarily to components of secondary systems and waste disposal systems not otherwise covered. Also included are safety J system components whose failures would not degrade system performance or cause a release to the environment of gaseous activity normally required to be held for decay (e.g., small components). '
Non-Safety Seismic (NSS) - includes those items whose continued function is not l required but whose failure could reduce the function of any safety related equipment to an unacceptable level or could result in an incapacitating injury to occupants of the control room and should be designed and constructed so that the safe shutdown earthquake would not cause such failure. See Regulatory Guide 1.29 - 1978, Regulatory Position C2.
- Other items (FSAR Table 3.2-1, Note 17) - Other structures, systems, and components identified on FSAR Table 3.2-1 and accompanied by note 17 receive applicable
- 10CFR50, Appendix B Quality Assurance. These areas have been evaluated to have some safety _ significance although they do not fall into any of the other safety classifications. : Applicable program requiremants are included in policies, procedures, procurement documents end other documentation as required.
