-STATEMENT OF WORK C.
1.1 BACKGROUND
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission - (NRC) licenses and inspects nuclear power reactor and nuclear materials facilities to ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards in order to identify conditions-which may adversely affect the health and safety.of-the public.
In support of this mission, the NRC's offices of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) provide quality assurance (QA) guidance for NRC inspectors and other technical-personnel. The NRC's Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AEOD) provides a program of training for these personnel.
In the past,-QA inspections were mainly-programmatic; focusing on paperwork.
In-the mid eighties, the NRC made a decision to reorient the NRC inspection program to focus more on-licensee performance.
To support this decision, a training course title-Inspecting for Performance (IFP) was created in 1987.
C.1.2 CONTRACT OBJECTIVE The Contractor shall furnish qualified personnel, materials and services-to (1) present and maintain the Inspecting for Performance Course inclusive of minor and major updates; (2) present and maintain the-Inspecting for Performance Course - Materials inclusive
