Abstract

Quality Assurance Program (QAP, Program) is a standard, which regulates and coordinates activity, as well as determines quality assurance policy regarding services rendered and construction works conducted on nuclear infrastructure facilities. The Program must comply with the requirements of federal rules and regulations in the field of nuclear power engineering. The present QAP is available to all organisation employees carrying out works and rendering services during construction, reconstruction and major repairs of nuclear facilities as well as to experts conducting works and rendering services on a contract basis. The QAP implementation analysis and the evaluation of its results is conducted through internal audits. The implementation of the quality assurance program is provided through the following principles: – the responsibility for quality assurance when conducting actual works and rendering services is imposed upon the task performer; – precise segregation of duties and responsibilities between all contractors; – regular control of compliance with regulations and developer’s requirements, as well as accurate documentation of the monitoring results; – systematic update tracking for all official regulations and norms; – the quality assurance methods incorporate the classification of equipment, systems and installation in terms of their impact on safety of nuclear facilities approved by official rules and regulations in the atomic energy sector.

Highlights

Quality management in the nuclear industry is of paramount importance, the solution of which affects individual intra-industry aspects of nuclear energy facilities, and the environment, life and health of the population, the work of many enterprises and the economic performance of the region and the country as a whole
It should be noted that the development of one quality assurance program for several types of activity at one or several nuclear facilities should be justified in the appropriate quality assurance program
The results of the quality assurance program is defined through audits

Summary

Introduction

Quality management in the nuclear industry is of paramount importance, the solution of which affects individual intra-industry aspects of nuclear energy facilities, and the environment, life and health of the population, the work of many enterprises and the economic performance of the region and the country as a whole. Any shortcomings affecting the quality of work at nuclear facilities and ensuring the safety of their operation can lead to serious consequences across the region and country. Control is carried out through special control and auditing measures designed to track the correct implementation of procedures and planned quality measures, to ensure compliance with the norms and regulations and the implementation of established goals. It should be noted that the development of one quality assurance program for several types of activity at one or several nuclear facilities should be justified in the appropriate quality assurance program. The quality assurance program must be approved and put into effect prior to the commencement of activities in the field of the use of atomic energy to which it applies [1120]
