QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM FOR THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY NUCLEAR REACTCR LABORATORY Applicable to Procurement, Use, Maintenance and Repair of Packaging Used in Tranennrt of Radioactive Materials o
Introduction l
There are two reasons that a Quality Assurance (Q.A.) program be-.
established.
First, The Ohio State University Research Reactor Safety Analysis Report (9.7 Quality Assurance) requires the establishment and maintenance of a Q.A. program based on ANS-15.8 (Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Research Reactors).
It is to provide adequate confidence i
that safety-related items'will perform satisfactorily in' service. Second, 10CFR71.12(B) requires a program approved by the NRC.that meets the j
requirements of Subpart H, Quality Assurance, for the Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials.
It is the second of these that this program addresses.
It is based on Regulatory Guide 7.10 Annex 2.
Certain sections are not applicable at this time and are so marked.
Quality Assurance is maintained by following good procedures. These procedures are based on NRC Requirements, The OSURR Safety Analysis Report and Technical Specifications, and the OSU Office of Radiation Safety Standards. These procedures are reviewed and approved by the Reactor Operations Committee (ROC).
l 1.
Organization The responsibility for the Q.A. programLis delegated to.the Director of the NRL as shown in Figure 1
" Administrative Organization".
His/her designee, normally the Associnte Director, shall be responsible for the daily implementation of the progree. The Reactor Operations Committee has. responsibility for independent review and audit functions associated with the program.
The requirements for the a))ocation of Q.A., responsibilities'are given in 10CFR71.103. The responsibilities for the execution of the Q.A. Program are as follows:
A. NRL Director
- 1. Establishes Facility's Q.A. policies, goals and.
objectives.
- 2. Assures implementation of the recommendations contained i
in the ROC audits of the Q.A. Program.

B. NRh Associate Director
- 1. provides for Q.A. indoctrination and training of reactor staff.
Independently rev.iews staff modification packages to be submitted to Reactor Director for review if necessary.
- 2. Has overall authority and responsibility for the implementation of the Q.A. program.
- 3. Maintains the Q.A. flies.
- 4. Reviews designs, procedures, methods and checklists.
Refers these to the ROC for further study and approval when necessary.
C. Reactor Operations Committee
- 1. Reviews Reactor Facility's Q A. goals, objectives and policies.
Approves Q.A. program and changes thereto.
Reviews modification packages consisting of, for example: experiment designs; safety analyses; construction, installation and test plans; operating procedures and checklists.
- 2. Audits the Q.A. program on an annual basis to assess its implementation, effectiveness and scope. This is to assure compliance with the 10CFR71.137 requirement of management independent periodic licensee review.
