What You Will Learn: 
Since the last nuclear power plant was constructed, the knowledge of Codes & Standards, regulations and QA principles required by regulatory agency inspectors has eroded. Add to this equation that there have been many new initiatives and technologies that have impacted the industry there is a need for more cognizant QA professionals in all segments of the industry.

This course is designed to provide an overview of the regulations and associated codes & standards applicable to the construction of new nuclear facilities including those types that have never been built before. The goal of this course is to impart an overall appreciation for the relationship of regulations governing new nuclear construction to the Codes and Standards and expected licensee QA approaches to regulatory inspectors who will be overseeing the construction and startup of these new facilities.

Who Should Attend:
Regulatory inspectors, designers, suppliers, owners/operator personnel responsible for developing or overseeing quality Assurance programs and processes applicable to new nuclear facility construction and startup. This course is particularly relevant to personnel engaged in both ends of the nuclear fuel cycle.

Special Features & Requirements:
Each attendee should have a basic understanding of the relationship between NRC documents (such as CFRs, NUREGs, SECYs, etc) and a basic grasp of QA principles and understanding the process by which a nuclear facility is constructed (design, fabrication, testing).

You will also receive a copy of Standard NQA-1 2008 Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications (QA).
