3.2 Responsibility Responsibility for design control as related to interpretation of regula-tory criteria cnd nuclear and radiological safety is the responsibility of the flanager, Safety, Licensing, and Safeguards.

Project control, as i

related to the design program as a whole, is the responsibility of a design i

group designated by CNFP management.

The Manager, Safety, Licensing, and Safeguards will coordinate nuclear, radiological, and licensing aspects closely with the design group.

In case of disagreement in these areas, the position of the fianager, Safety, Licensing, and Safeguards will prevail.

Following completion of the design, specifications and requirements for fabrication will be transmitted to the QC Manager for incorporation in the QA program as riecessary.

Those specifications relating to safety will be identified by the Manager, Safety, Licensing, and Safeguards or a qualified designee.

3. 3 The design control program will include provision for the following:

3.3.1 Independent verification of nuclear or radiological safety cal-culations.

3.3.2 Design review by the CNFP Managers of Quality Control and Safety, Licensing, and Safeguards and written approval of drawings and spr.cifications prior to release for fabrication.

When a test program is used to verify the adequacy of an entirely new container design, a qualification test (i.e., drop) of a prototype unit under design conditions will be used.

Identification of materials and parts iicportant to the function of safety related system and components can be traced to the appropriate documentation such as, for example, drawings, specifications, purchase orders, manufacturing and inspection doccrents, deviation reports, and physical and chemical mill test reports.

The location and method of identification as outlined in Chapter 8 will not affect the fit,

functions or quality.

8.2 Requirements 8.2.1 Incoming Material, Parts, and Components 8.2.1.1 The flaterial Control section of Manufacturing is respon-sible for the receipt of all incoming radioactive material shipping containers and material, parts, and components at the CNFP.

The receipt shall be documented and a copy of the receiving notification shall be forwarded to Quality Control.

8.2.1.2 Upon receipt of this notification, the QC Data Evaluation Unit shall prepare and submit a request to the Inspection Unit delineating the type of inspection, i.e., dimensional, visual, chemical analysis, etc., and the Quality Control procedure to be applied in the inspection.
