Defining the quality assurance program for the US Dept. of Energy Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project (SSDP) was a unique opportunity because this is the first full-sized commercial nuclear power plant to be decommissioned. General Electric Co. defined a quality assurance program that provided adequate control, yet was stripped down to the essentials. The program is designed to provide a flexible degree of monitoring of subcontractor work, built around a core of radiation safety monitoring, detailed planning, inspection, and auditing, and operated with a minimum of dedicated personnel. This paper concentrates on the traditional quality assurance activities.
