Quality Assurance for Safety in Nuclear Power Plants and other Nuclear Installations : Code and Safety Guides Q1-Q14

The revised Safety Code and its corresponding Safety Guides replace Safety Series No. 50-C-QA (Rev. 1), Code on the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Quality Assurance, and Safety Series Nos 50-SG-QA1 to 50-SG-QA11, and present new simplified basic requirements and implementation methods for quality assurance in a nuclear context.
