9 RMQAP Revision 0 1/1/79 INTRODUCTION It is the policy of Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation to receive, possess, use, or transf er licensed materials in accordance with regulatory requirements.

To this end, the corporation has established this criality assurance program 1

which delineates the requiremants and tasks assigned to various elements of the Stone &

Webster organ nation to achieve our stated objectives.

The design and fabrication of radioactive material shipping packages or storage / exposure devices shall not be conducted under this quality assurance program.

This program is organized into 7 sections which correspond to the management principles delineated in Appendix E of

~

10CFR71 and is responsive both to Appendix E and the requirements as applicable under our NRC radioactive materials licenses 20--05000-02 and 03 for industrial radiography.
