GSU may use consultants, as required, in preparation of the nuclear fuel contract, contract negotiations, and in preparation .

of a technical evaluation of fuel design, and an initial audit of the GE nuclear fuel quality system. GSU may use consultants to further assist in evaluation of fuel design, recommended quality program

GSU provides instructions for receipt inspection, handling, and storage of the nuclear fuel. -

GE performs the first level quality program, consistent with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B for design and fabrication of the ,

nuclear fuel, to assure the mechanical integrity of the fuel over' its 2 anticipated lifetime. The GE fuel design and quality inspections requirements are discussed in Chapter 4. ,

The Directo'r-Quality Assurance must have as a minimum five years in charge of responsible assignments in the design, construction, or operation of a pcwer plant. He draws upon this experience in handling technical problems and perstinnel relations, as they arise. Initially, he familiarises hi=self with the GSU QA' manuals and policies to more adequr_tely understand the overall program. He familiarizes hi=self with codes, standards, and regulatory requirements, related to quality assurance and to nuclear power plants in general. He participates in

\ all phases of the audit program, including preparation of inspection f plans, conduct of audits, and writing of summary audit reports.
