Training Course:
Quality Assurance for Radioactive Material Packaging

The purpose of the course is to provide quality assurance (QA) training and practical experience for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) personnel and contractors who are required to develop and implement a QA plan or prepare the QA chapter of a Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP) for the control of design, fabrication, assembly, testing, maintenance, repair, modification, and use of radioactive material packaging. The course begins with instructions concerning basic QA principles and concepts and quickly advances to packaging-specific information. The training course reviews applicable QA requirements from DOE Orders, federal regulations, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Guides.

The course includes both lecture and actual problem sessions that apply a graded approach to selected QA elements from Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 71. Participants will gain experience from the development of a partial packaging-specific QA chapter for a SARP by selecting appropriate QA requirements from Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 71 and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1 for Type B and fissile material packaging.
