Millstone-1's senior QC technician
Joseph R. Impellizeri, in charge of quality control at the Millstone-1 reactor finds his work requires interpersonal skills as well as technical expertise. The author notes the difference between quality control, which involves the first level of inspection of workmanship and materials for compliance with requirements and the first level review of documents, and quality assurance, which reviews the quality system to see that there are proper procedures and paperwork. Quality control (QC) at Millstone covers inspections, corrective maintenance, and system design changes. Rapport with personnel is essential. Impellizeri must also have level III certification to perform mechanical and electrical installations in order to perform during outages. His activities also include planning for inspections and outages.
