REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Quality Assurance Branch (QAB) Secondary - Mechanical Engineering Branch Instrumentation & Control Systems Branch Power Systems Branch Accident Evaluation Branch Radiological Assessment Branch Hydrologic & Geotechnical Engineering Branch Containment Systems Branch I. AREAS OF REVIEW QAB reviews and evaluates the applicant's operational quality assurance (QA) program as described in the FSAR. The review at the operating license stage addresses both the "offsite" and "onsite" QA controls to be applied to those activities that may affect the quality of items important to safety during the operation, maintenance, and modification of a nuclear power plant. The review covers the QA controls to be applied to those activities (e.g., designing, constructing, purchasing, fabricating, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, erecting, installing, maintaining, modifying, operating, inspecting, and testing) that may affect the quality of structures, systems, and components important to safety. The secondary review branches review the listing of structures, systems, and components (QA list) covered by the QA program for their areas of review responsibility in accordance with 2A1 of this section of the Standard Review Plan and documents the acceptability of the listing including any items that should be added or clarified by memo to the QAB. The review by MEB in this regard also addresses the areas of review responsibility normally assigned to ASB, RSB, CEB, PSB (except electrical), and SEB. The review extends to the determination of how the applicable requirements of the 18 criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 are satisfied by the proposed QA program. Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants.
