Use the USQ Procedure Requirements Checklist to perform and document the review. USQ Procedure Requirements Checklist contains elements of the USQ process that should be evident in the contractor's procedure. Some of the elements are from DOE G 424.1‑1B, Admin. Change 2, Implementation Guide for Use in Addressing Unreviewed Safety Question Requirements, and although these elements are not construed as requirements in appraising compliance with 10 CFR 830,Subpart B, Safety Basis Requirements, this guidance does provide supplemental information regarding the rule and provides an acceptable method for implementing the requirement.
The Checklist provided in USQ Procedure Requirements Checklist is intended to assist with the evaluation of the contractor's procedure. The reviewer(s) may simply check the applicable "Yes" or "No" box or may choose to reference the applicable Section of the contractor procedure. A "No" entry for an attribute associated with DOE G 424.1‑1B, Admin. Change 2, does not necessarily mean that the procedure is inadequate. The completed Checklist shall contain the contractor procedure number and revision and be signed and dated by the reviewer(s).
