Plan for Quality Assurance Surveillances of DOE/ORP and BNI HLW Programs
• Phase 1 (8-11 September 2008)
– Address and support elements of the compliance based audit to take place in Phase 3
• Conclusion: Phase 2 of the qualification process for the BNI program is to be initiated based on the results of Phase 1 surveillances which demonstrated that BNI has established an acceptable HLW QA program. (“The surveillance team determined that there was tremendous progress in developing technical compliance documentation since the assessments conducted in early 2007 by ORP and HQ.”)
• Phase 2– Document review and RW acceptance of the initial QARD Requirements Matrix
and implementing procedures in conjunction with a technical review and RW concurrence of the HLW technical baseline documents.
• Phase 3– Initial compliance-based audit of the ORP and BNI QA programs to evaluate the
adequacy and effectiveness of their QAPs implementation for QARD compliance…
