Please address what the expectations are regarding how management will regularly review the status and adequacy of that part of the quality assurance program (QAP) which they are executing.
The QAP plan should incorporate these expectations.
2.
The sections entitled Procedures and Drawings (4.1-4.3)-and Document Control-(7.1-7.5) both omit references to the word " instructions." Will
-instructions be used to control work activities?
If instructions are used, the QAP should be modified accordingly.
3.
The QAP Section 12.1, " Test Control," reflects the following requirements:
testing to assure satisfactory performance in service; testing performed-using test procedures written to design documents; and proof tests as appropriate.
However,-the following items were noted to be absent: procedural assurance that prerequisites were met; assurance of adequate, test instrumentation; test performance under suitable conditions; and test documentation-and evaluation.
Please discuss how the:e items are addressed for-activities'such as heavy 3
lifting, and installation and operation of radiation monitoring and air filtering systems, and modify the QAP accordingly.
4.
The section entitled Quality Assurance Records (18.1-18.7) did not address QAP requirements to generate inspection records that would identify the inspector or data recorder, the type of observation, the results, the acceptability, and' the action taken in connection with any deficiencies noted.
Please address whether these are relevant inspection. attributes and modify the QAP accordingly.
5.
Please discuss what standards will be utilized to implement'the QAP and identify them in the QAP accordingly..
