Studies were conducted of the existing practices of quality assurance at the FMPC. Interviews with NLO personnel within the QA/QC Department and other interfacing organizations were held. Documents generated by the NLO QA/QC Department and operating manuals of various other NLO departments were examined to understand the current QA Program at the FMPC and to develop guidelines for a WMCO QA Program. In addition, Rust QA plans and current quality assurance practices between NLO and Rust Engineering were reviewed. The Kellogg Rust QA Program originates in the Oak Ridge K-R office with a manual of procedures that address the intent of the NQA-1 elements applicable to the activities of a construction organization. This Program will be submitted to WMCO for review as part of the WMCO/Kellogg Rust contract. The results of the NLO studies revealed that NLO organizations, including the QA/QC Department, have not been exposed to the NQA-1 quality concept; and consequently, the NLO organization is not staffed or structured to support the implementation and maintenance of an NQA-1 program. The principal functions of the NLO QA Department are to: (1) audit the NLO operating procedures and QA Plans, (2) collect and report chemical results of the FMPC products, and (3) inspect the final products, No formal procedures exist for the activities of the QA/QC Department or for the interactions of the Department with other departments in NLO.
