i TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE 10 CFR 71 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM i
1.
Organization The final responsibility for the Quality Assurance (QA) Program for Part 71 Requirements rests with Tuskegee Institute. Design and Fab-rication shall not be conducted under this QA Program. The QA Program is implemented using the following organization:
Tuskegee Institute Administrative Organization for Radiation Matters i
Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute President of' Tuskcgee Institute Carver Research Foundation Radiation Safety Committee Radiation Safety Officer - Responsible for Part 71 QA Requirements The Radiation Safety Officer is responsible for overall administration i
of the program, training and certification, document control, and auditing.
The Mechanical Engineering Technician working with the Radiation Safety Officer is responsible for handling, storing, shipping, inspection, test and operating status and recordkeeping.

2.
Quality Assurance Program The management of Tuskegee Institute establishes and implements this, a
QA Program.
fraining, ~ prior to engagement, for all QA functions is required according to written procedures. QA Program revisions will be l
made according to written procedures with management approval. The QA Program will ensure that all defined QA procedures, engineering procedures, l
and specific provisions of the package design approval are satisfied. The QA program will emphasize control of the characteristics of the package l
which are critical to.eafety, i
l' The Radiation Safety Officer shall assure that all radioactive material shipping packages are designed and manufactured under a QA Program approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for all packages designed or fabri-cated after January 1,1979. This requirement will be satisfied by receiving a certification to this effect from the manufacturer.
Y 3.
Document Control.
All documents related to a specific shipping package will be controlled through the use of written procedures. All documents changes will be performed,according to written procedures approved by management.

The Radiation' Safety Of ficer shall insure that all QA functions are conducted in accordance with the latest applicable changes to these documents.
4.
Handling, Storage, and Shipping Written safety procedures concerning the handling, storage, and shipping of packages of radioactive material will be followed.
Shipments will not be made unless all tests, certifications, acceptances, and final inspec-tions have been completed. Work instructions will be provided for handling, storcge, and shipping operations.
The Mechanical Engineering Technician working with the Radiation Safety Officer shall perform the critical handling, storage, and shipping operations.
5.
Inspection, Test, and Operating Status Inspection, test, and operating status of packages of radioactive material will be indicated and controlled by written procedures. Status will be indicated by tags, label, marking, or log entry. Nonconforming parts of packages will be repaired and/or replaced and a status report will be re-tained in regard to all corrective action.
The Mechanical Engineering Technician working with the Radiation Safety Officer shall perform the regulatory required inspections and tests in accordance with written procedures. The Radiation Safety Officer shall ensure that these functions are performed.
6.
Quality Assurance Records l
Records of package approvals (including references and drawings),
procurement, inspections, tests, operating logs, audit results, personnel training and qualifications and records of shipments will be maintained.
Descriptions of equipment and written procedures will also be maintained.
These records will be maintained in accordance with written procedures.
The records will be identified and retrievable. A list of these records, with their storage locations, will be maintained by the Radiation Safety Officer.
i 7.
Audits Established achedules of audits of the QA Program will be performed using l
written check lists. Results of audits will be maintained and reported to management. Audit reports will be evaluated and deficient areas

APPENDIX This Quality Assurance Program will serve for a one-time only shipment of polyethylene fuel discs from a dismantled AGN-201 100 mW, homogeneous, thermal reactor. The circular fuel discs, 25 cm in diameter containing 20%
enriched UO, have a total mass of approximately 663 g of U-235.
These 2
discs will be divided into two approximately equal amounts of U-235 (act-ually 331.6 g each) and shipped to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in two shipping containers provided by the U.S. Department of Energy Oak Ridge Operations Office. These shipping containers consist of a 5 gallon drum inside of a 55-gallon drum with the space in between filled with vermicu-lite. The uranium fuel discs will be divided approximately equally by U-235 content as aforementioned and positioned in the inner 5-gallon buckets. The free space inside the 5-gallon buckets will be filled with packing material to minimize movement during transit.
Each drum will have a closure and a seal.
Packing Checklist The Mechanical Engineering Technician and the Radiation Safety Officer c

will be on hand to perform all handling, packaging and inspection operations. Acting Dean of Engineering will audit procedure.
{-
The fuel discs will be divided in the following fashion in order to provide approximately equal division.
Container I:
Three discs 25.6 cm diam x 4 cm high 288 grams Twelve discs 4.'s em diam x 4 cm high 43.2 grams Core fuse 2.2 cm diam x 0.9 cm high
