Section 4, “Storage, Preservation, and Safekeeping,” of Supplement 17S-1, “Supplementary Requirements for Quality Assurance Records.” Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these requirements to the QAPD is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Appendix A, GDC 1, to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that a QA program be established and implemented. GDC 1 is applicable because it mandates the establishment of a QA program. Meeting the requirements of GDC 1 provides assurance that SSCs important to safety will be designed, fabricated, constructed, and tested in a manner that will facilitate the satisfactory performance of their intended function. 2. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 is applicable to this section because it specifies the criteria for establishing a QA program for all phases of a facility’s life, including design, construction, operation, and modification. This SRP provides guidance related to staff review and approval of the required QA program and describes methods acceptable to the staff for establishing and implementing such a program. Compliance with Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.34(h), requires that every applicant or holder provide a description of its QA program for the design, fabrication, construction, and testing of the SSCs important to safety to the NRC for review. Furthermore, the proposed 10 CFR 50.54(a)(1) provides specific implementation requirements for
