ALGOR Quality Assurance Program
|
|
ALGOR’s quality assurance (QA) program has been designed to comply with 10CFR50, Appendix B and 10CFR21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) governing the United States nuclear power industry. These regulatory standards include 18 separate criteria that encompass virtually the full range of a company’s software development and manufacturing processes, including
-- but not limited to -- design procurement, documentation, outsourcing, production, measurement, inspection, handling, storage and shipment.

ALGOR offers services that
provide notification to end users in the event that a software or documentation
issue is discovered that could cause potentially undetectable, incorrect output data to be produced by the software. This service satisfies reporting requirements under 10CFR21 of the
CFR. |

Is your FEA software designed to meet the rigorous standards of the nuclear industry?
|
The NRC 10CFR21 (Part 21) requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations call for reporting if any component supplied to a nuclear facility contains defects
that could potentially create a substantial safety hazard. One way in which to examine
ALGOR's quality assurance record is to review Part 21 reports received by the NRC.
For information about obtaining these reports for FEA companies and other nuclear suppliers,
visit www.nrc.gov.
We also invite you to review the public documentation from our last NRC Inspection, including:
