Recommendations

Clearly define the QA [Quality Assurance] review coordination requirements of the standard review plan.

Develop a process for reviewers to coordinate QA reviews and a method to determine that the QA coordination has occurred.

Determine how the quality of translated documents impacts:
a). NRC and industry ability to assess the quality of foreign-supplied safety-related parts and services to new nuclear power plants.
b). NRC and industry QA oversight, including licensing and inspection activities.

Incorporate results of the assessments into NRC‟s QA oversight activities.
