Quality assurance procedures for analyses and report reviews supporting performance assessments of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
This document presents the quality assurance (QA) philosophy and procedures for analyses and report reviews used by the Performance Assessment Department of Sandia National Laboratories, which directly supports the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). Analysis procedures described herein will be incorporated into the Performance Assessment Analysis Quality Assurance Procedures (QAP 2-4), and report review procedures will be incorporated into QAP 2-5; both will apply to all Sandia and Sandia contractor activities related to performance assessment (except where the contractor has its own approved QA procedures). This report presents the philosophy behind the OA procedures, provides the standards adopted for performance assessment analysis and report review, discusses the implementation of these standards, and summarizes the software executive package, CAMCON, which aids in implementing the standards.
