The role of the governmental authority in LWR fuel fabrication QA activities in Brazil
Description
The paper deals with the position of CNEN, the Brazilian nuclear regulatory body, concerning QA in the manufacture of LWR fuel elements. As QA regulation, CNEN has adopted the IAEA's Code of Practice No.50-C-QA. A new regulation based on this code, but somewhat modified to fit Brazilian specific conditions has been developed. The activities conducted by CNEN on the fuel manufacturer are discussed. These activities include review and assessment of the QA Programme for compliance with regulatory requirements, and inspections/audits to verify the correct implementation of the measures described in the QA Programme.
