McManus, R W

In 1984, the Georgia Power Company (GPC) began a pilot program for self-evaluation of Plant Vogtle Unit 1 in response to the recommendations contained in the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) report to the US Congress, Improving Quality and the Assurance of Quality in the Design and Construction of Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG-1055). The program, identified as Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 1 Readiness Review Program, was conducted to provide a systematic and disciplined review of GPC's implementation of design, construction, and operational preparation processes to increase the assurance that quality program activities at Plant Vogtle have been accomplished in accordance with regulatory requirements. The GPC considers readiness review one of the programs that enabled the licensing process for Vogtle Unit 1 to function as a smooth coordinated process between GPC and the NRC and allowed resolution of problems at a much earlier stage than has occurred on some other recently licensed nuclear projects.
