Licensee contractor and vendor inspection status report. Quarterly report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7217142
A fundamental premise of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's nuclear facility licensing and inspection program is that the licensee is responsible for the proper construction and safe operation of his nuclear power plant. The NRC inspects to determine whether its requirements are being met by the licensee and his contractors. The licensee is responsible for developing a detailed quality assurance plan as part of his license application. This plan includes the quality assurance programs of the licensee's contractors and vendors. The NRC reviews the licensee's and contractor's quality assurance plans to determine that implementation of the proposed quality assurance program would be satisfactory and responsive to NRC regulations. In addition to providing information on inspection results, this Licensee Contractor and Vendor Inspection Status Report - the 'White Book' - contains information submitted by licensees in accordance with NRC rules and regulations covering events attributed by the licensee to design deficiencies and equipment malfunctions. These licensee event reports which cover one calendar quarter identify both the vendor and the organization responsible for the procurement and/or design document.
