Does the facility design authority have a direct communication line with the safety software development?
2.2 Select and Implement Work Activities: Using DOE approved grading levels (as per the criteria in Section 1.2 above) and ASME NQA-1-2000, Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications, or other DOE approved national or international consensus standards that provide an equivalent level of quality assurance requirements as ASME NQA 1 2000, applicable SQA work activities are selected and implemented from the following list to ensure that safety software performs its intended functions. Approach: • Review software or quality assurance plans and documents, to determine if the 10 work activities have been evaluated to determine their applicability and requirement for full or graded implementation. The applicability of a work activity may be determined by the software type such as custom or acquired. A matrix using the approved grading levels, the software type and the 10 work activities may provide evidence that the work activities have been evaluated. • Use sampling met
