Requirements for the calibration and control of measuring and test equipment used in the construction and maintenance of nuclear power generating stations

Book ·
OSTI ID:6946989
This standard sets forth the requirements for a calibration program to control and verify the accuracy of measuring and test equipment used to assure that important parts of nuclear power generating stations are in conformance with prescribed technical requirements and that data provided by testing, inspection or maintenance are valid. These important parts include those structures, systems and components whose satisfactory performance is required for the plant to operate safely, to prevent accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public, or to mitigate the consequences of such accidents if they were to occur. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with ANSI/ASME NQA-1-1979, Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants.
