This Quality Program Plan has been prepared to describe the quality activities associated with the development, production, test and delivery of hardware for the Selenide Isotope Generator Program. The objective of the Quality Program Plan is to establish and maintain an effective and economical quality assurance system to assure that end items are in accordance with contractural specifications. Section I.9 of Appendix A (Statement of Work) states: The Contractor shall prepare, implement and maintain a Quality Assurance program in accordance with a DOE approved Quality Assurance Program Plan which, for purposes of this contract, the parties agree represent a modified compliance with the latest requirements of the latest NRA-1 in effect at the time of the contract issuance. NRA-1 sets forth general requirements for quality assurance programs covering a wide variety of nuclear systems and is sufficiently expansive in scope to outline the quality activities of a broad range of contractural efforts. This Quality Assurance Program Plan, including the individual Quality Directives (Quality Procedures referenced in various Quality Directives provide only historical foundations of Quality Policy and as such are not relevant to the specifics of this plan.) attached in Appendix I, defines the quality activities that are to be accomplished under the current contractural work effort. The extent to which this Plan provides activity to accomplish the major intent of each section of NRA-1 is summarized in Table 1. NRA-1 however, provides only the skeletal foundation for the plan and it should not be construed that sections or portions not explicitly quoted are implied. The Plan will function as an independent and self-supportative document.
