NQA-1 Practical Application

ASME NQA-1, Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications contains the quality assurance program requirements for the siting, design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Part I specifies eighteen requirements for implementing a quality assurance program for these activities. This course describes a practical application of NQA-1 focusing on five of the principal requirements: control of design, procurement documents, purchased items and services, inspections, and measuring and test equipment.

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

• Identify the steps to control the design process, including design changes 
• Explain how to develop procurement documents that accurately and thoroughly communicate the design requirements to suppliers
