Panel Discussion: Preparing for the Renaissance
This session includes panelists that have been working on the ASQ Energy and Environmental
Division’s training initiative to develop workshops that will build the foundation for quality
professionals to support the coming nuclear renaissance. Conference participants are
encouraged to share their perspectives and to engage with the panelists in a conversation about
professional development needs for the next generation of nuclear quality assurance
professionals.

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Nuclear Procurement Quality Requirements: B.W. (Ben) Marguglio
This workshop covers dozens of contractual clauses that make quality and economic sense for
the procurement of design and construction services and components for new nuclear facilities
and for major modifications to existing facilities, including power generating facilities and
Department of Energy facilities, such as national laboratories.
ANSI/ASME NQA-1 and ISO-9001 will be the basic source documents. Never the less, quality
and procurement engineers from other types of high technology complex facilities (e.g., oil and
gas facilities, ports, military facilities) would definitely benefit from this workshop. Proper
implementation of these clauses has the potential for avoiding tens and hundreds of thousands
of dollars in unnecessary expenditures. The Commercial Grade Item Dedication (CGID)
process will be described, along with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
Introduction to Nuclear Quality Assurance: Tom Mudge
This workshop is targeted to an audience of suppliers that are unfamiliar with the nuclear quality
assurance industry requirements and considering entry into that industry. The workshop is four
hours in length and will review the key NRC regulations, applicable industry codes and
standards, and provide guidance concerning how to develop and implement a Nuclear QA
Program.
