i-TOPICAL REPORT EVALUATION Report Number: GA-A13010A, Amendment 5, Nonproprietary Report
Title:
General Atomic Quality Assurance Program Report Date: January 1980 Originating Organization: General Atomic Company Reviewed by: Quality Assurance Branch SUM'4ARY OF TOPICAL REPORT Topical report GA-A13010A, Amendment 5, describes the quality assurance (QA) program which General Atomic (GA) applies to those design, procurement, and manufacturing activities involving safety-related structures, systems, and components of nuclear power plants, as well as shipping packages for radio-active material within the GA scope of work. GA-A13010A, Amendment 5, commits GA to comply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and to follow the regulatory positions provided by the NRC in Regulatory Guides 1.28-Revision 2 (February 1979), 1.30 (August 11, 1972), 1.37 (March 16, 1973), 1.38-Revision 2 (May 1977), 1.39-Revision 2 (September 1977),1.58 ( August 1973),1.64-Revision 2 (June 1976),1.74 (February 1974), 1.88-Revision 2 (October 1976), 1.ll6-Revision 0-R (June 1976),1.123-Revision 1 (July 1977), and 1.144 (January 1979).
GA has provided for our evaluation a detailed organizational description of those individuals and groups involved in carrying out activities required by the QA program and a delineation of duties, responsibilities, and authority of those organizational elements invnived in the QA program.
GA-A13010A, Amendment 5, contains a description of the measures used to carry out the GA QA program activities and describes how applicable requirements of Appendix B will be sat-isfied by the administration and implementation of these measures in QA manuals and procedures.
SUMMARY
OF REGULATORY EVALUATION We have evaluated the QA program and the organizations responsible for QA functions as described in GA-A13010A, Amendment 5.
We find that QA policy and direction originate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively communicated to other parts of the organization. Those performing QA functions have responsi-bility and authority commensurate with their duties in implementing the QA program.
We also find that measures have been established, to be implemented by written procedures and instructions, which address each of the criteria of Appendix B in an acceptable manner.
Based on our review and evaluation of GA-A13010A, Amendment 5, we conclude that:
1.
The organizations and persons performing QA functions within GA have the required independence and authority to effectively carry out the QA program without undue influence from those directly responsible for costs and schedules.
