1.0 Purpose This document describes the quality assurance program of UNC Recovery Systems (UNC-RS ) for the procurement, inspection and use of shipping containers for radioactive materials, in com-pliance with 10CFP71.51.
i 2.0 Scope The application of this program is limited to the extent of the requirements of 10CFR71.51 and Appendix E to 10CFR71.
Only unirradiated uranium-bearing special nuclear material, source material or small sealed radioactive sources are involved in shipments by UNC-RS.
Packages and conditions for shipment
- 2 irradiated fuel, high level waste and plutonium are specifi-cally excluded.
Based on the simplicity of the st'ndard design containers used by UNC-RS, and their significant _ecord of acceptable fabrication and safe use, this program does not involve extensive use of formal, detailed pror 2dures in provid-ing the degree of quality assurance necessary for compliance.
3.0 Organization i
3.1 Corporate Organization UNC's management structure for chipment of radioactive material begins at the division level, and, therefore, no corporate organization is presented.
The General Manager reports directly to corporate nanage-ment and is responsible for all activities at UNC-RS.
3.2 Site Organization The General Manager for UNC-RS is responsible for the ove sll management of the plant.
The Manager, Quality Assurance (QA) reports directly to the General Manager and is responsible for the planning, administration, and con-trol of quality assurance programs for UNC-RS.
He has the responsibility and authority, delineated in writing, to stop work in any aspect of the operation which is not in compliance with the Quality Assurance program.
The quali-fications for the Manager, Qualit Assurance are described in the UNC-RS Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan (FNMC).

_)43 An organization chart depicting the management structure for U:C-RS, desigrad specifically to identify all the units which have responsibilities associated with quality assurance programs, is shown in Ficure 1.1.
This organization structure provides the separation of functions and independence of actions necessary for proper quality assurance.
