ing the reason for the changes, are identified, approved, documented, and controlled. (NQA-1) m. Applicable information derived from experience, as set forth in reports or other documentation, is made available to cognizant design personnel. (NQA-1) n. The QA role in design and analysis activities is defined. Design documents are reviewed by individuals knowledgeable and qualified in QA to ensure the documents contain the necessary QA requirements. (This applies to DC applicants, ESP, and construction QA programs.) (10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(iii)(H)) o. Measures are required to be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the SSCs. (NQA-1) p. Where a significant design change is necessary because of an incorrect design, the design process and verification procedure is reviewed and modified as necessary. (NQA-1) q. QA personnel are included in the documented review and concurrence in quality-related procedures associated with design, construction, and installation. (This applies to DC applicants, ESP, and construction QA programs.) (10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(iii)(C)) 2. Design Verification a. Verification methods include, but are not limited to, design reviews, alternative calculations, and qualification testing. The responsible design organization is required to identify and document the particular design verification method(s) used. (NQA-1) b. Design inputs, processes, outputs, and changes are verified. The final design (approved design output documents and approved changes thereto) is relatable to the design input by documentation in sufficient detail to permit design verification and the identification of the verifier clearly indicated. When applicable, design reviews answer the following questions: (NQA-1) (1) Were the design inputs correctly selected? (2) Are assumptions necessary to perform the design activity adequately described and reasonable?
