The development and implementation of a quality assurance program for manufacturing and support of international safeguards equipment
- Aquila Technologies Group, Inc., Albuquerque, NM (US)
This paper reports that safeguards equipment for nuclear facilities, such as the Modular Integrated Video System (MIVS) manufactured by Aquila Technologies Group, Inc., must operate reliably and unattended over long surveillance periods. To gain confidence in this reliability a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program (QAP) was established for production and acceptance operations. The guidelines for this QAP are contained in the Sandia National Laboratories procedure EP401418, Quality Program Requirements which is a part of the production contract. This procedure contains the nationally recognized elements of a production QA program including organization, specification control, manufacture control, calibration, procurement control, inspection, material control, training, quality record, auditing and performance reviews. Aquila has developed and implemented a comprehensive QAP for MIVS production and now is applied company wide for safeguards product.
