A fundamental premise of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) nuclear facility licensing and inspection program is that a licensee is responsible for the proper construction and safe operation of nuclear power plants. Licensees, contractors, and vendors each participate in a quality verification process in accordance with requirements prescribed by, or consistent with, NRC rules and regulations. The NRC inspects to determine whether its requirements are being met by a licensee and his contractors, while the great bulk of the inspection activity is performed by the industry within the framework of sequential ongoing quality verification programs. In implementing this multilayered approach, a licensee is responsible for developing a detailed quality assurance (QA) plan as part of his license application. This plan includes the QA programs of the licensee's contractors and vendors. The NRC reviews the licensee's and contractor's QA plans to determine that implementation of the proposed QA program would be satisfactory and responsive to NRC regulations. The White Book contains information normally used to establish a ''qualified suppliers'' list; however, the information contained in this document is not adequate nor is it intended to stand by itself as a basis for qualification of suppliers.
