Table 3.12-1.
5.6 Delegation of QA Functions 5.6.1 During normal operations the QA Program will be executed by STPEGS personnel, who may be assisted by subcontract personnel. During refueling, maintenance, and inservice inspection, first-level quality control inspection and nondestructive examination (NDE) activities may be subcontracted. However, STPEGS will retain responsibility for the total QA Program, and STPEGS NA personnel will perform audits and surveillance (s) of subcontracted QA activities.
5.6.2 When first-level quality control inspection and NDE are performed by STPEGS personnel, they are qualified and certified in accordance with applicable codes, standards, procedures, and other regulations. Monitoring and surveillance of the quality control and NDE activities shall be performed by operations OA personnel.
5.7 Identification of Safety-Relat.ed Items and Services 5.7.1 The STPEGS QA Program described herein is applied to all activities affecting the safety-related functions of those structures, systems, and components which prevent, or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The safety-related structures, systems, and components controlled by the-QA Program are listed in UFSAR Section 3.2, along with their associated fire protection systems.
UFSAR Section 3.2 also identifies those quality-related structures, systems, and components (in addition to fire protection systems) which are not safety-related but to O which the STPEGS Operations QA program is applied.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION Chapter 2.0 E6 O OPERATIONS QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN PACE 5 or 14 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION trrtcTivt dan 12-21-90 5.7.2 The fire protection QA Program is part of the overall STPEGS Operations QA Program and is therefore under the management control of QA.
Fire protection QA Program criteria are being implemented as part of the HL&P Operations QA-Program, as defined in this OQAP.
5.7.3 Expendable or-consumable items necessary for the functional performance of safety-related structures, systems, and components are subjected to quality assurance requirements as specified in written procedures.- These procedures include provisions for review and control in accordance with industry standards and specifications and the safety-related function of the expendable or consumable item.
5.8 Development of the QA Program
(^T 5.8.1 The Operations QA Program was fully implemented
(_), 90 days prior to initial. fuel loading. The QA Program shall be in~effect throughout the operating life of the STPEGS.
S.9 QA Program Documents 5.9.1 The QA Program shall be implemented with-documented instructions, procedures, and drawings which include appropriate quantitative and qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that prescribed activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. Precedures shall include the control of the sequence of required inspections,-tests, and other operations when important to quality. To change these controls, the individual procedure must-be changed-and shall require the same-review and approval given to the original.

5.3 Reference standards shall have an uncertainty (error) requirement of no more than 1/4 of the tolerance of the equipment or device being calibrated. When .

calibrated. The basis of this acceptance shall be documented and authorized by responsible management.
In those cases where a reference standard is not traceable to a national standard because a national standard does not exist, the basis for calibration shall-be documented.

5.5 Measures shall be established'to trace the use of each

evaluation shall be made and documented for the validity of previous inspection and test results and for the acceptability'of items previously inspected or ;
