Purpose This evaluation provides the 10 CFR 50.54(a) conclusions associated with the proposed changes to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 and 3 and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Quality Assurance Program (QAP). The proposed revision is a complete rewrite of the SONGS QAP, and will replace the current UFSAR Chapter 17 QAP in its entirety with what will be referred to as the Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program (DQAP). This summary describes the changes as well as the associated evaluation, conclusions and justifications for the changes. These evaluations conclude that certain proposed changes represent reduction in regulatory commitments and therefore require prior Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval.
 
===Background===
The QAP revision reflects a simplification of the SONGS Units 2 and 3 QAP consistent with the current operational status of SONGS Units 2 and 3 (permanently shutdown and defueled).
References 1, 2 and 3 provided certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii), that operation has permanently ceased and that all the fuel has been permanently removed from SONGS Units 2 and 3 reactor vessels. Additionally, with these certifications, SCE acknowledges that the 10 CFR Part 50 licenses for SONGS Units 2 and 3 no longer authorize operation of the reactors or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessels.
Since the cessation of operations and removal of fuel, operational risk involving the reactor and secondary plant has been eliminated and radiological risk factors associated with Units 2 and 3 have been significantly reduced. The DQAP has been modeled after similar programs supporting a number of other nuclear power plants in similar conditions (decommissioning with fuel in a spent fuel pool or ISFSI). The scope of the changes from the current QAP to the DQAP include the following:
* Removal of commitments to consensus industry standards (e.g., ANSI N18.7) and regulatory guides that apply to operating nuclear power reactors and replacing them with industry standards and guides appropriate for SONGS Units 2 and 3 decommissioning and ISFSI operations.
* Removal of commitments to consensus industry standards (e.g., ANSI N18.7) and regulatory guides that apply to operating nuclear power reactors and replacing them with industry standards and guides appropriate for SONGS Units 2 and 3 decommissioning and ISFSI operations.
* Removing implementation details from the current QAP that are contained in or added to SONGS administrative and implementing procedures." Streamlining organizational functions to accommodate changing and consolidating responsibilities.
* Removing implementation details from the current QAP that are contained in or added to SONGS administrative and implementing procedures.
* Changes in applicability due to reclassification of SONGS Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs).* Providing extensive editorial changes to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability.
    " Streamlining organizational functions to accommodate changing and consolidating responsibilities.
These revisions clarify the position that the revised DQAP is focused on decommissioning activities and current SONGS SSC classifications.
* Changes in applicability due to reclassification of SONGS Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs).
The proposed revision to the SONGS Units 2 and 3 QAP is also appropriate for the remaining SONGS Unit 1 decommissioning activities Page E1-4 and ISFSI operations.
* Providing extensive editorial changes to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability.
The proposed revision will continue to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and the QA requirements of 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.Page E1-5 Change I -Editorial Type Administrative Improvements and Clarifications:
These revisions clarify the position that the revised DQAP is focused on decommissioning activities and current SONGS SSC classifications. The proposed revision to the SONGS Units 2 and 3 QAP is also appropriate for the remaining SONGS Unit 1 decommissioning activities Page E1-4
Extensive editorial changes to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability were made. Three examples of the type of changes considered as editorial are outlined below.* The scope statements at the beginning of each section of the QAP have been eliminated from the DQAP. This was done to remove redundant information that is contained in each QAP section.* The DQAP has reduced the use of bulleted lists and converted multiple single sentence paragraphs into more descriptive paragraphs; thus improving the DQAP overall readability." The DQAP removed the multiple subsection titles that are used in the QAP thus improving the overall readability of the document.Evaluation:
 
These types of changes are editorial and do not alter the intent or purpose of the QAP. The DQAP satisfies the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.Conclusion:
and ISFSI operations. The proposed revision will continue to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and the QA requirements of 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.
10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) does not consider QA program changes involving administrative improvements and clarifications, spelling corrections, punctuation, or editorial items, as reductions in commitments.
Page E1-5
Therefore, the proposed editorial changes may be made without prior approval of the NRC. They are included in this package for completeness.
 
Change 2 -Administrative Controls Nuclear Oversight Board, Onsite Review Committee and Independent Technical Review activities:
Change I - Editorial Type Administrative Improvements and Clarifications:
The requirements for independent review functions were based on ANSI N18.7-1976 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. These functions as described in the QAP follow the guidance provided in ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 4.3.1. However, ANSI N18.7-1976 states: 18.7 is applicable during the "operational phase," which is defined within the standard as"That period of time during which the principal activity is associated with normal operation of the plant. This phase of plant life is considered to begin with commencement of fuel loading and ends with plant decommissioning." The detailed ANSI N18.7-1976 requirements for Nuclear Oversight Board (NOB), Onsite Review Committee (OSRC) and Independent Technical Review (ITR) activities apply to power plants in the operational phase. Since SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3 are no longer in the operational phase, it is concluded that detailed requirement for independent review per ANSI N18.7-1976 need not be applied to SONGS.Page E1-6
Extensive editorial changes to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability were made. Three examples of the type of changes considered as editorial are outlined below.
" SONGS has determined onsite and offsite review bodies are beneficial to the decommissioning effort but will be modified within the DQAP- Changes to the NOB and OSRC will include changes in membership and qualifications requirements, schedule of meetings and scope of review. The specific details are currently and will be maintained in SONGS program documents and implementing procedures.
* The scope statements at the beginning of each section of the QAP have been eliminated from the DQAP. This was done to remove redundant information that is contained in each QAP section.
* With regard to the OSRC, SONGS Unit 1 Technical Specification Section D.6.6.1 requires the review of Unit 1 events by the OSRC which precludes its removal from the DQAP. The NOB (external oversight) is not required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix B; however, SONGS considers the NOB to be an effective and independent oversight of selected SONGS activities.
* The DQAP has reduced the use of bulleted lists and converted multiple single sentence paragraphs into more descriptive paragraphs; thus improving the DQAP overall readability.
Although decommissioning has reduced the scope of the activities for review by the NOB, its continued use has been determined to be of significant value. The removal of administrative controls regarding the NOB and the OSRC from the DQAP is a reduction in commitment in that the majority of control is now being maintained in administrative procedures governing the NOB and OSRC.* The ITR activities have been deleted from the DQAP in anticipation of the reduction in the number of risk significant operational and radiological activities that will require safety reviews at SONGS during decommissioning activities; however, if it is determined by SONGS senior leadership that a review of those activities previously performed by the ITR are necessary, the review will be conducted by the NOB.Evaluation:
"   The DQAP removed the multiple subsection titles that are used in the QAP thus improving the overall readability of the document.
The reassignment of the functions of the ITR, and the reduction in controls for the NOB and the OSRC in the DQAP is appropriate for the decommissioned state of SONGS Units 2 and 3 and supports the Technical Specification for Unit 1 for the OSRC.Conclusion:
Evaluation:
This change is a reduction in commitment, and as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC. This reduction in commitment is acceptable because the proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G, Records Retention Current QAP Record Retention section, has been deleted from the QAP. Similar information is contained in the Records Management organization implementing procedures.
These types of changes are editorial and do not alter the intent or purpose of the QAP. The DQAP satisfies the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.
The elimination of the QAP section on Record Retention does not affect the scope of the Records Management's procedures as the specific regulatory requirements reside within the implementing procedure.
Records Retention will continue to meet the applicable regulatory requirements but is more appropriately controlled in Record Management implementing procedures than in the DQAP.Page E1-7 Evaluation:
The Record Retention provisions in the QAP are details that are unnecessary to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.Conclusion:
This change is a reduction in commitment, and as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC.Change 3 -Regulatory Guides and Standards:
The proposed revision to the QAP deletes Table 17.2-1, "SCE Quality Assurance Program Compliance to Guides. Requirements, And Standards Operation," which included references to applicable regulatory guides, industry standards, and exceptions to those standards listed.Aspects of the standards applicable to ongoing quality assurance activities have been incorporated in the body of the DQAP and regulatory commitments are now addressed in DQAP, Appendix B, "Regulatory Requirements and Commitments." The following regulatory guidance has been added and are referenced in DQAP Appendix B* Regulatory Guide 7.10, "Establishing Quality Assurance Programs for Packaging Used in Transport of Radioactive Material' (Revision 2 -March 2005)* NUREG/CR 6407 "Classification of Transportation Packaging and Dry Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety' (Revision 1 -October 2013)The remaining regulatory guides and industry standards that apply to the current state of SONGS have been listed in the appropriate departmental programs and procedures to which they apply.Evaluation:
The commitments to the referenced consensus standards and regulatory guides are unnecessary for the current state of SONGS Units 1, 2, and 3 and the remaining decommissioning activities.
There are no safety-related structures, systems or components in Units 1, 2 and 3 or the ISFSI other than certain of those associated with spent fuel storage.ISFSI-related items have been categorized as Important to Safety in accordance with NUREG/CR-6407, "Classification of Transportation Packaging and Dry Spent Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety", Table 6. "Classification Categories for Dry Spent Fuel Storage Systems." Page E1-8

Conclusion:==
Conclusion:==


The deletion of commitments to the specified regulatory guides and standards is considered a reduction in commitment and, as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC.This reduction in commitment is acceptable due to decommissioning at SONGS Units 2 and 3.The proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G Change 4 -Implementation Detail: Throughout DQAP implementation methodology details are being removed.For example, QAP Section 17.2.4.2, Procurement Document Control, states: Procurement documents defining the technical requirements are prepared by responsible engineers within cognizant SCE engineering organizations.
10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) does not consider QA program changes involving administrative improvements and clarifications, spelling corrections, punctuation, or editorial items, as reductions in commitments. Therefore, the proposed editorial changes may be made without prior approval of the NRC. They are included in this package for completeness.
Change 2 - Administrative Controls Nuclear Oversight Board, Onsite Review Committee and Independent Technical Review activities:
The requirements for independent review functions were based on ANSI N18.7-1976 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. These functions as described in the QAP follow the guidance provided in ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 4.3.1. However, ANSI N18.7-1976 states: 18.7 is applicable during the "operational phase," which is defined within the standard as "That period of time during which the principal activity is associated with normal operation of the plant. This phase of plant life is considered to begin with commencement of fuel loading and ends with plant decommissioning."
The detailed ANSI N18.7-1976 requirements for Nuclear Oversight Board (NOB), Onsite Review Committee (OSRC) and Independent Technical Review (ITR) activities apply to power plants in the operational phase. Since SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3 are no longer in the operational phase, it is concluded that detailed requirement for independent review per ANSI N18.7-1976 need not be applied to SONGS.

* With regard to the OSRC, SONGS Unit 1 Technical Specification Section D.6.6.1 requires the review of Unit 1 events by the OSRC which precludes its removal from the DQAP. The NOB (external oversight) is not required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix B; however, SONGS considers the NOB to be an effective and independent oversight of selected SONGS activities.

Evaluation:
The reassignment of the functions of the ITR, and the reduction in controls for the NOB and the OSRC in the DQAP is appropriate for the decommissioned state of SONGS Units 2 and 3 and supports the Technical Specification for Unit 1 for the OSRC.
 
==
Conclusion:==
 
This change is a reduction in commitment, and as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC. This reduction in commitment is acceptable because the proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G, Records Retention Current QAP Record Retention section, has been deleted from the QAP. Similar information is contained in the Records Management organization implementing procedures. The elimination of the QAP section on Record Retention does not affect the scope of the Records Management's procedures as the specific regulatory requirements reside within the implementing procedure. Records Retention will continue to meet the applicable regulatory requirements but is more appropriately controlled in Record Management implementing procedures than in the DQAP.
Page E1-7
 
Evaluation:
The Record Retention provisions in the QAP are details that are unnecessary to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
 
==
Conclusion:==
 
This change is a reduction in commitment, and as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC.
Change 3 - Regulatory Guides and Standards:
The proposed revision to the QAP deletes Table 17.2-1, "SCE Quality Assurance Program Compliance to Guides. Requirements, And Standards Operation," which included references to applicable regulatory guides, industry standards, and exceptions to those standards listed.
Aspects of the standards applicable to ongoing quality assurance activities have been incorporated in the body of the DQAP and regulatory commitments are now addressed in DQAP, Appendix B, "RegulatoryRequirements and Commitments."
The following regulatory guidance has been added and are referenced in DQAP Appendix B
* Regulatory Guide 7.10, "EstablishingQuality Assurance Programsfor Packaging Used in Transportof Radioactive Material' (Revision 2 - March 2005)
* NUREG/CR 6407 "Classificationof TransportationPackagingand Dry Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety' (Revision 1 - October 2013)
The remaining regulatory guides and industry standards that apply to the current state of SONGS have been listed in the appropriate departmental programs and procedures to which they apply.
Evaluation:
The commitments to the referenced consensus standards and regulatory guides are unnecessary for the current state of SONGS Units 1, 2, and 3 and the remaining decommissioning activities. There are no safety-related structures, systems or components in Units 1, 2 and 3 or the ISFSI other than certain of those associated with spent fuel storage.
ISFSI-related items have been categorized as Important to Safety in accordance with NUREG/CR-6407, "Classificationof TransportationPackaging and Dry Spent Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety", Table 6. "ClassificationCategories for Dry Spent Fuel Storage Systems."

==
Conclusion:==
 
The deletion of commitments to the specified regulatory guides and standards is considered a reduction in commitment and, as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC.
This reduction in commitment is acceptable due to decommissioning at SONGS Units 2 and 3.
The proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G Change 4 - Implementation Detail:
Throughout DQAP implementation methodology details are being removed.
For example, QAP Section 17.2.4.2, Procurement Document Control, states: Procurement documents defining the technical requirements are prepared by responsible engineers within cognizant SCE engineering organizations.
This was deleted because this level of detail is unnecessary to satisfy 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B Instead, procedures will specify who will prepare procurement documents.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555

Subject:

Docket No. 50-206,60-361, 50-362, and 72-041 Request for Approval of Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 1, 2 and 3 and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility

Dear Sir or Madam:

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4), Southern California Edison (SCE) is submitting a proposed revision to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Quality Assurance Program (QAP) for NRC review and approval since it involves aspects that are considered reductions in commitments.

The proposed revision is the initial issuance of the SONGS Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program (DQAP). It is a complete rewrite of the QAP replacing Revision 19 of the SONGS Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), Chapter 17 "Quality Assurance," in its entirety.

The SONGS DQAP assures compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G "Quality Assurance" and 10 CFR 71 "Packaging And Transportation of Radioactive Material,"

Subpart H "Quality Assurance."

A summary of changes to the SONGS QAP are contained in Enclosure 1 and the DQAP is provided in Enclosure 2. Since the proposed revision is a complete rewrite, a markup of the existing QAP was not determined to be useful and is not provided.

The changes that have been identified as reductions in commitments primarily involve a transition from industry consensus standards (e.g, ANSI/ANS, IEEE standards) and regulatory guidance applicable to nuclear facilities under construction or operating. The DQAP provides the flexibility to more accurately address Quality Assurance during the SONGS decommissioning through the inclusion of industry consensus standards and regulatory guides applicable during plant decommissioning. The proposed changes to the SONGS QAP reflect the following:

  • Changes in applicability due to reclassification of SONGS structures, systems, and components.

" Eliminate inclusion of QAP in the SONGS UFSAR.

  • Implementing details from the existing SONGS QAP are being transferred into the appropriate implementing procedures.

P.O. Box 128 San Clemente, CA 92672 (949) 368-6575 PAX 86575 Fax: (949) 368-6183

  • Tom.Pahmisano@sce.com

Document Control Desk November 13, 2014

  • Organizational functions have been streamlined to accommodate changes due to the decommissioning work scope.
  • The DQAP eliminates redundancy with other nuclear programs, provides clarity and improves readability through an extensive editorial rewrite.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4)(ii), Enclosure 1 addresses the changes that were determined to be reduction in commitments from the previously approved SONGS QAP and provides a basis for concluding that the SONGS DQAP will continue to meet the regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4)(iv), SCE will implement proposed revision to the SONGS QAP (DQAP Revision 0) "...upon receipt of a letter to this effect from the appropriate reviewing office of the Commission or 60 days after submittal to the Commission, whichever occurs first."

Purpose This evaluation provides the 10 CFR 50.54(a) conclusions associated with the proposed changes to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 and 3 and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Quality Assurance Program (QAP). The proposed revision is a complete rewrite of the SONGS QAP, and will replace the current UFSAR Chapter 17 QAP in its entirety with what will be referred to as the Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program (DQAP). This summary describes the changes as well as the associated evaluation, conclusions and justifications for the changes. These evaluations conclude that certain proposed changes represent reduction in regulatory commitments and therefore require prior Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval.

Background

The QAP revision reflects a simplification of the SONGS Units 2 and 3 QAP consistent with the current operational status of SONGS Units 2 and 3 (permanently shutdown and defueled).

References 1, 2 and 3 provided certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii), that operation has permanently ceased and that all the fuel has been permanently removed from SONGS Units 2 and 3 reactor vessels. Additionally, with these certifications, SCE acknowledges that the 10 CFR Part 50 licenses for SONGS Units 2 and 3 no longer authorize operation of the reactors or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessels.

Since the cessation of operations and removal of fuel, operational risk involving the reactor and secondary plant has been eliminated and radiological risk factors associated with Units 2 and 3 have been significantly reduced. The DQAP has been modeled after similar programs supporting a number of other nuclear power plants in similar conditions (decommissioning with fuel in a spent fuel pool or ISFSI). The scope of the changes from the current QAP to the DQAP include the following:

  • Removal of commitments to consensus industry standards (e.g., ANSI N18.7) and regulatory guides that apply to operating nuclear power reactors and replacing them with industry standards and guides appropriate for SONGS Units 2 and 3 decommissioning and ISFSI operations.
  • Removing implementation details from the current QAP that are contained in or added to SONGS administrative and implementing procedures.

" Streamlining organizational functions to accommodate changing and consolidating responsibilities.

  • Changes in applicability due to reclassification of SONGS Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs).
  • Providing extensive editorial changes to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability.

These revisions clarify the position that the revised DQAP is focused on decommissioning activities and current SONGS SSC classifications. The proposed revision to the SONGS Units 2 and 3 QAP is also appropriate for the remaining SONGS Unit 1 decommissioning activities Page E1-4

and ISFSI operations. The proposed revision will continue to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and the QA requirements of 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.

Page E1-5

Change I - Editorial Type Administrative Improvements and Clarifications:

Extensive editorial changes to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability were made. Three examples of the type of changes considered as editorial are outlined below.

  • The scope statements at the beginning of each section of the QAP have been eliminated from the DQAP. This was done to remove redundant information that is contained in each QAP section.
  • The DQAP has reduced the use of bulleted lists and converted multiple single sentence paragraphs into more descriptive paragraphs; thus improving the DQAP overall readability.

" The DQAP removed the multiple subsection titles that are used in the QAP thus improving the overall readability of the document.

Evaluation:

These types of changes are editorial and do not alter the intent or purpose of the QAP. The DQAP satisfies the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.

==

Conclusion:==

10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) does not consider QA program changes involving administrative improvements and clarifications, spelling corrections, punctuation, or editorial items, as reductions in commitments. Therefore, the proposed editorial changes may be made without prior approval of the NRC. They are included in this package for completeness.

Change 2 - Administrative Controls Nuclear Oversight Board, Onsite Review Committee and Independent Technical Review activities:

The requirements for independent review functions were based on ANSI N18.7-1976 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. These functions as described in the QAP follow the guidance provided in ANSI N18.7-1976, Section 4.3.1. However, ANSI N18.7-1976 states: 18.7 is applicable during the "operational phase," which is defined within the standard as "That period of time during which the principal activity is associated with normal operation of the plant. This phase of plant life is considered to begin with commencement of fuel loading and ends with plant decommissioning."

The detailed ANSI N18.7-1976 requirements for Nuclear Oversight Board (NOB), Onsite Review Committee (OSRC) and Independent Technical Review (ITR) activities apply to power plants in the operational phase. Since SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3 are no longer in the operational phase, it is concluded that detailed requirement for independent review per ANSI N18.7-1976 need not be applied to SONGS.

Page E1-6

" SONGS has determined onsite and offsite review bodies are beneficial to the decommissioning effort but will be modified within the DQAP- Changes to the NOB and OSRC will include changes in membership and qualifications requirements, schedule of meetings and scope of review. The specific details are currently and will be maintained in SONGS program documents and implementing procedures.

  • With regard to the OSRC, SONGS Unit 1 Technical Specification Section D.6.6.1 requires the review of Unit 1 events by the OSRC which precludes its removal from the DQAP. The NOB (external oversight) is not required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix B; however, SONGS considers the NOB to be an effective and independent oversight of selected SONGS activities. Although decommissioning has reduced the scope of the activities for review by the NOB, its continued use has been determined to be of significant value. The removal of administrative controls regarding the NOB and the OSRC from the DQAP is a reduction in commitment in that the majority of control is now being maintained in administrative procedures governing the NOB and OSRC.
  • The ITR activities have been deleted from the DQAP in anticipation of the reduction in the number of risk significant operational and radiological activities that will require safety reviews at SONGS during decommissioning activities; however, if it is determined by SONGS senior leadership that a review of those activities previously performed by the ITR are necessary, the review will be conducted by the NOB.

Evaluation:

The reassignment of the functions of the ITR, and the reduction in controls for the NOB and the OSRC in the DQAP is appropriate for the decommissioned state of SONGS Units 2 and 3 and supports the Technical Specification for Unit 1 for the OSRC.

==

Conclusion:==

This change is a reduction in commitment, and as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC. This reduction in commitment is acceptable because the proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G, Records Retention Current QAP Record Retention section, has been deleted from the QAP. Similar information is contained in the Records Management organization implementing procedures. The elimination of the QAP section on Record Retention does not affect the scope of the Records Management's procedures as the specific regulatory requirements reside within the implementing procedure. Records Retention will continue to meet the applicable regulatory requirements but is more appropriately controlled in Record Management implementing procedures than in the DQAP.

Page E1-7

Evaluation:

The Record Retention provisions in the QAP are details that are unnecessary to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

==

Conclusion:==

This change is a reduction in commitment, and as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC.

Change 3 - Regulatory Guides and Standards:

The proposed revision to the QAP deletes Table 17.2-1, "SCE Quality Assurance Program Compliance to Guides. Requirements, And Standards Operation," which included references to applicable regulatory guides, industry standards, and exceptions to those standards listed.

Aspects of the standards applicable to ongoing quality assurance activities have been incorporated in the body of the DQAP and regulatory commitments are now addressed in DQAP, Appendix B, "RegulatoryRequirements and Commitments."

The following regulatory guidance has been added and are referenced in DQAP Appendix B

  • Regulatory Guide 7.10, "EstablishingQuality Assurance Programsfor Packaging Used in Transportof Radioactive Material' (Revision 2 - March 2005)
  • NUREG/CR 6407 "Classificationof TransportationPackagingand Dry Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety' (Revision 1 - October 2013)

The remaining regulatory guides and industry standards that apply to the current state of SONGS have been listed in the appropriate departmental programs and procedures to which they apply.

Evaluation:

The commitments to the referenced consensus standards and regulatory guides are unnecessary for the current state of SONGS Units 1, 2, and 3 and the remaining decommissioning activities. There are no safety-related structures, systems or components in Units 1, 2 and 3 or the ISFSI other than certain of those associated with spent fuel storage.

ISFSI-related items have been categorized as Important to Safety in accordance with NUREG/CR-6407, "Classificationof TransportationPackaging and Dry Spent Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety", Table 6. "ClassificationCategories for Dry Spent Fuel Storage Systems."

Page E1-8

==

Conclusion:==

The deletion of commitments to the specified regulatory guides and standards is considered a reduction in commitment and, as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC.

This reduction in commitment is acceptable due to decommissioning at SONGS Units 2 and 3.

The proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G Change 4 - Implementation Detail:

Throughout DQAP implementation methodology details are being removed.

For example, QAP Section 17.2.4.2, Procurement Document Control, states: Procurement documents defining the technical requirements are prepared by responsible engineers within cognizant SCE engineering organizations.

This was deleted because this level of detail is unnecessary to satisfy 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B Instead, procedures will specify who will prepare procurement documents.

These changes provide flexibility in the implementation of the QA program to accommodate changes of the scope of decommissioning activities.

Details regarding implementation methodology existing in the current QAP are not included in the DQAP. Implementation methodology is contained in appropriate administrative and implementing procedures.

Evaluation As noted previously, implementation methodology details found in the QAP are not included in the proposed DQAP. The intent of the DQAP is to describe appropriate and sufficient requirements to establish how the DQAP meets 10 CFR 50, Appendix B while allowing flexibility in the manner by which a requirement is met. This reduction in implementation details provides flexibility of the implementation of the DQAP while maintaining appropriate and sufficient guidance to ensure QA program requirements are met.

==

Conclusion:==

The reduction in the details regarding implementation methodology is considered a reduction in commitments described in the DQAP and, as such, will need to be reviewed and approved by the NRC. The proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.

OVERALL EVALUATION:

The DQAP is a major rewrite of the QAP. It includes extensive editing to eliminate redundancy, provide clarity, and improve readability. Detailed implementation methodology found in the QAP is contained in SONGS approved administrative program documents and procedures which are Page E1-9

defined as program affecting procedures and are subject to QA review and approval. As required by DQAP Section 6: Document Control: "Procedures, instructions and other documents, including revisions, which implement requirements of the SONGS DQAP, shall be reviewed and concurred with by the Nuclear Oversight," to assure that implementing procedures receive QA review prior to issuance."

Where content in sections of the revised DQAP differ from the content in the QAP, the differences were evaluated and determined to be acceptable due to the nature of decommissioning at SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3 and the passive operational status of the SONGS ISFSI. The proposed revision continues to satisfy the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.

_ ____SONGS DQAP Revision 0 Introduction Southern California Edison (SCE) announced plans on June 7, 2013, to permanently retire Units 2 and 3 at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). On June 12, 2013 SONGS submitted a Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), certifying that SCE has permanently ceased power operations of SONGS Units 2 and 3. To address this changing environment at SONGS, a Decommissioning Quality Assurance Program (DQAP) has been developed to support the decommissioning activities of the station and ensure continued oversight of Decommissioning and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

The SONGS DQAP reflects the quality activities pertaining to a decommissioning nuclear site through compliance with established regulatory requirements set forth by the NRC. The DQAP ensures the protection of the public health and safety through performance-based assessments and compliance-based auditing utilizing implementing procedures and instructions The DOAP describes the responsibilities for implementing quality requirements, establishing and maintaining the DQAP, and assessing the performance of activities subject to the DQAP The implementation of the SONGS DQAP is performed in a graded approach commensurate with the items and activities importance to safety.

The SONGS DQAP includes a description of the organizational structure and functional responsibilities of the station management regarding the implementation of important to safety activities at SONGS. The DQAP also outlines the oversight roles and responsibilities for the Quality Assurance (QA) staff and program expectations for the various station organizations.

The DQAP satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteriafor Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel ProcessingPlants, 1OCFR7 1, Subpart H, Quality Assurance for Packaging and Transportationof Radioactive Material, and 10CFR72, Subpart G. Quality Assurance for Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste.

Additional regulatory commitments are listed within Appendix B of the DQAP.

(1) Estimates of severe natural events to be used for deriving design bases that will be based on consideration of historical data on the associated parameters, physical data, or analysis of upper limits of the physical processes involved, and (2) Estimates of severe external man-induced events to be used for deriving design bases that will be based on analysis of human activity in the region, taking into account the site characteristics and the risks associated with the event, Deviation.

A departure from the technical or quality assurance requirements defined in procurement documents.

safety analysis report, construction permit, or other documents provided for basic components installed in a facility subject to the regulations of this part Greater than Class C waste or GTCC waste Low-level radioactive waste that exceeds the concentration limits of radionuclides established for Class C waste in 10 CFR 61 55.

Important to Safety SSCs which are designed, fabricated, erected and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed Important to Safety SSC's include the following categories

" Safety Related -

Safety-related SSCs, as applicable to SONGS means those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure the capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the applicable guideline exposures set forth in 10 CFR 10011

  • Non-Safety Related, Augmented Quality SSCs which are classified Non Safety-Related - Augmented Quality do not meet the definition of "Safety-Related" but are subject to select quality assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B in a graded approach Important to Safety - ISFSI: systems, structures, component conditions/functions, or activities required to store spent nuclear fuel safely Independent spent fuel storage installation or ISFSI:

A complex designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, solid reactor-related GTCC waste, and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel and reactor-related GTCC waste storage An ISFSI which is located on the site of another facility licensed under this part or a facility licensed under part 50 of this chapter and which shares common utilities and services with that facility or is physically connected with that other facility may still be considered independent.

Package The packaging together with its radioactive contents as presented for transport Packaging:

The assembly of components necessary to ensure compliance with the packaging requirements 10 CFR 71 It may consist of one or more receptacles, absorbent materials, spacing structures, thermal insulation radiation shielding, and devices for cooling or absorbing mechanical shocks The vehicle, tie down system, and auxiliary equipment may be designated as part of the packaging Permanent cessation of operation(s) 35 Page E2-36
