Regulations, Standard Review Plan, and SECY Paper Regarding Quality Assurance for New Reactors
The "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," set forth in Appendix B to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), must be implemented for activities affecting safety-related plant equipment. Licensees are also required to develop, and control changes to, their quality assurance (QA) programs, as stated in 10 CFR 50.54(a)(1). In addition, 10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(ii) requires that a licensees description of its QA program for a nuclear power plant must include a discussion of how the applicable requirements of Appendix B will be satisfied.

SECY Paper
The staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) performed a review of international QA standards (ISO 9001-2000) against the existing
framework of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and assessed approaches for adopting international quality standards for safety-related
components in nuclear power plants into the existing regulatory framework. This review is documented in SECY-03-0117.
