QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
Statement of Quality Assurance Policy
The quality assurance (QA) plan, implementing QA and technical procedures, and
other parts of this QA manual constitute the Agency for Nuclear Projects/Nuclear
Waste Project Office (NWPO) Quality Assurance Program. This QA Program governs
significant activities performed by NWPO and its contractors, subcontractors,
and vendors/suppliers in connection with the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE's)
characterization of the Yucca Mountain site, Nevada, as a potential repository
for high-level nuclear waste. The purpose of these activities is to investigate
the potential impact of any such repository on the health, safety, and
environment of the residents of the state of Nevada. In particular, NWPO and
its contractors/subcontractors (1) monitor DOE activities, (2) critically review
and analyze data and analyses from DOE and other sources, and (3) conduct such
independent investigations as may be needed to (a) appraise DOE data,
assumptions, conclusions, and designs and (b) to establish NWPO's own data bases
and interpretation techniques.
It is NWPO policy to ensure that NWPO and its contractors and subcontractors
perform their activities according to applicable written QA and technical
implementing procedures that conform to the NWPO Quality Assurance Program. To
help accomplish this purpose, NWPO uses procurement contract documents to require
conformance of vendor-supplied materials and equipment, and of
contractor/subcontractor services to NWPO's Quality Assurance Program.
Controlled copies of Volume 1 of the NWPO Quality Assurance Manual (which
includes the QA plan and QA procedures) are assigned and issued by the Quality
Assurance Manager to NWPO, contractor and subcontractor personnel responsible
for performing activities controlled by the program. Likewise, the Quality
Assurance Manager ensures that these persons receive controlled manual volumes
containing the technical procedures necessary for their activities. (See Table

of Contents, herein.) Appropriate U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff
are informed of any changes to the NWPO QA Program that would reduce commitments
of the program. The NRC receives a controlled copy of the manual and any
revisions thereto. Revisions of the QA program are distributed to holders of
controlled copies by the QA Manager and each manual holder is responsible for
maintaining his/her volumes up-to-date.
NWPO and contractor/subcontractor personnel assigned to activities governed by
the NWPO QA program are required to become familiar with policies and provisions
of the program pertaining to their activities and each person is required to
comply with the program in his or her work.
No portion of the NWPO QA Program shall be construed to require activities
contrary to the State of Nevada Administrative Code or to the laws of the United
States or of the State of Nevada.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
Section 00 - INTRODUCTION
This Quality Assurance (QA) plan is a part of the Agency for Nuclear
Projects/Nuclear Waste Project Office's (NWPO's) QA Program. The Program also
consists of (1) QA implementing procedures (QAPs), primarily of an administrative
nature and prepared by NWPO; (2) technical procedures (TPs), prepared largely
by NWPO's contractors and subcontractors; (3) a Statement of Quality Assurance
Policy; (4) a glossary of definitions; and (5) appurtenant sections, such as
tables of contents. See the Table of Contents, herein, for details of program
organization.
NWPO management has instituted this quality assurance program to ensure that
activities performed by NWPO and its contractor/subcontractor and vendor/supplier
personnel, relative to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) site characterization
at Yucca Mountain, comply with applicable quality assurance requirements. The
purpose of the NWPO activities addressed by the program is to investigate the
potential impact on the health, safety, and environment of the residents of
Nevada of any nuclear waste repository the DOE ma
