-2 assurance policy and direction originate at an acceptably high management level and are effectively ccmmunicated to other parts of the organi:ation.
Those per-forming quality assurance functions have responsibility and authority commensurate with their duties in implementing the quality assurance program. We also find that reasures have been established, to be inplemented 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 BVTR-1-0A, we conclude that:
1.
The organizations and persons performing quality assurance functions within Black & Veatch have the required independence and authority to effectively implement the quality assurance program without undue influence frca those directly resconsible for costs and schedules, and 2.
The Black & Veatch quality assurance program contains the requirements and controls which, when properly implemented, comply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the applicable regulatory guides and standards contained in Chapter 17 of the NRC Standard Rcview Plan.
