n BUFFALO TANK CORPORATION QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM As_gsguirgd_by_10_CEB_71 Eure9ss The purpose of this program is to assure that those quality control procedures, engineering procedures, and specific provisions of the package design approval which are under the control of the Buffalo f
Tank Corporation are followed in order to control those characteristics which are critical to the radiation safety aspects of Type B shipping containers.
Applicatigg This program applies only to the use of Type B shipping containers.
Buffalo Tank Corporation does not design, fabricate or repair Type B shipping containers.
The final responsibility for this program rests with the management of Buffalo Tank.
Organizatigg The immediate responsibility for complying with this program and applicable regulations, certifying of personnel, and document control rests with supervision of the Inspection Department.
Health Physics Associates, a consulting company, is retained to provide coordination of this program, whatever training may be required, and auditing to assure compliance with this program and applicable regulations.
Inspection Department personnel are responsible for the handling, storage, shipping, inspection and testing of the shipping containers and the maintenance of all required records.
An organizational chart showing the relationship of these individuals is attached.
9ualliy_Asgurancg_Erggggm All Type B quantities of radioactive material will only be shipped in packages approved under 10 CFR 71.
For those packages designed or fabricated after January 1, 1979, only those covered under an approved Quality Assurance Program may be used.
Buffalo Tank Corporation shall obtain from the package designers or fabricators, a statement that the package meets the requirements of 10 CFR 71.
This documentation will be maintained by the Inspection Department.
