Quality assurance

The systematic process of checking whether a product or service being developed is meeting specified requirements. This typically involves the application of the ASME Standard NQA-1, Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications and/or DOE Order DOE O 414.1D, Quality Assurance to DOE projects, systems and equipment.

Correspondence, reports and recommendations related to quality assurance (QA) program reviews, QA of construction project reviews, review of DOE directives addressing QA, and QA concerns associated with other reviews.
