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.

Control shall verify that the procurement documents for shipping containers which have been transmitted to the supplier are complete with respect to technical and quality requirements defined in the applicable specifications and drawings and the opplicable 10 CFR Part 71, Appendix E requirements which must be complied with as described in the supplier's QA program.
Any changes to procurement documents shall be handled in like manner.
Procedures shall be established to assure that CNFP Quality Control and Safety, Licensing, and Safeguards approve procurement documents prior to issuance.
4.2 Requirements 4.2.1 For fabrication of shipping containers, a bill of materials shall be prepared by the responsible engineering group which consolidates such information as drawings and specifications, and special test requirements.
The responsible engineering function may also prepare a purchased materials list (if required) for those items which are to be procured.

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.
