Mr. Dennis L. Koehl President and CEO South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 P.O. Box 289
Wadsworth, Texas 77483
SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION - QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM CHANGES APPROVAL
Dear Mr. Koehl:
By letter dated November 1, 2012, the Sout h Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) submitted a proposed revision to the Operations Quality Assurance Plan for South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (Units 1 and 2). The revision was submitted as a reduction in commitment in regard to the application of the provisions of 10 CFRPART 21, "REPORTING OF DEFECTS AND NONCOMPLIANCE" to Category B Important to Safety items. While the changes essentially cannot impact Part 50, Appendix B, the changes were evaluated to ensure continued compliance of the Quality Assurance (QA) program with quality assurance regulations for ISFSIs per 10 CFR 72.140(d). Evaluation of the acceptability of the QA program changes relative to the ISFSI was performed in accordance with the guidance of NUREG-1567, "Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities," which provides a well-defined, uniform basis for evaluating proposed changes to license commitments.
An acceptable way of establishing QA program compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G, quality assurance criteria in support of ISFSI operation and maintenance is by reviewing and evaluating the licensee
=s commitment to the applicable ANSI Standards and corresponding Regulatory Guides. The proposed changes to the QA program for STPNOC were qualitatively evaluated and judged based on changes and exceptions to previous commitments to these ANSI standards and associated regulatory guides in the context of the current decommissioning status of the facility.
Therefore, this evaluation reviews the QA program changes for conformance with 10 CFR Part
72, Subpart G.
The staff reviewed and evaluated the proposed changes to Chapter 20, Revision 0, of the QA program for STPNOC, with the intent to determ ine if the QA program for STPNOC continues to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, "Licensing Requirements for the Independent Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C
Waste, Subpart G-Quality Assurance."
D.
The complete submittal was reviewed by the staff to determine the existence of corresponding guidance for each of the Part 72 quality criteria listed below:
Quality assurance organization. Quality assurance program.
Design control.
Procurement document control.
Instructions, procedures, and drawings.
Document control. Control of purchased material, equipment, and services. Identification and control of materials, parts, and components.
Control of special processes.
Licensee and certificate holder inspection.
Test control. Control of measuring and test equipment. Handling, storage, and shipping control.
Inspection, test, and operating status.
Nonconforming materials, parts, or components.
Corrective action. Quality assurance records. Audits.
NUREG-1567 provides specific guidance for evaluating the licensee's QA program changes against the above 18 quality criteria in regard to Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities. Based on the staff's review of the QA program, the staff has determined that the proposed revision continues to meet the requirements of Subpart G of 10 CFR Part 72. While this evaluation has determined that the QA program is acceptable, continued proper implementation of the QA program plan will be assessed during future NRC inspections.
The QA program describes requirements, procedures, and controls that, when properly implemented, complies with requirements of 10 CFR Part 72.
The structure of the organization and assignment of responsibility for each activity ensures that designated parties will perform the work to achieve and maintain specified quality requirements.
The staff reviewed the proposed revision and found that the reduction in commitment will continue to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 72.140(d).
The staff finds the proposed changes to the QA Operations Quality Assurance Plan for South
Texas Project Electric Generating Station (Units 1 and 2) acceptable.
