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 description of the quality assurance (QA) program for the design and construction phases in each application for a construction permit (CP), a manufacturing license, or a standardized design approval in accordance with applicable portions of this section of the Standard Review Plan. The secondary review branches review the listing of structures, systems, and components (QA list) covered by the QA program for their areas of review responsi- bility 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. Pre-Docketing Prior to docketing a CP application, the NRC performs a substantive review of the applicant's QA program description relative to ongoing design and procurement activities. This review and associated inspection are performed immediately after tendering of a CP application to determine that a satisfactory QA program has been established and is being implemented. The pre-docketing substantive review places particular emphasis on the areas of organization, QA program, design control, procurement document control, and Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclaer Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of appflcations to construct and operate nuclear power plants.
