Nuclear Quality Assurance Technology
Nuclear Quality Assurance Technology leading to an Associate in Applied Science
Degree was instituted by Community College of Beaver County in 1974 and the
first class graduated in 1976. Graduates have been employed by
architectural/engineering firms, nuclear equipment suppliers, nuclear construc-
tion contractors, and utility companies operating nuclear power plants.
This cross-technologies NQA program is designed specifically to prepare
qualified junior engineers to aid and assist professional engineers in the QA/QC
functions of materials, construction and operations of nuclear power systems.
Throughout the two-year program, heavy emphasis is placed on 10 CFR and
F.S.A.R.'s as related to subject matter. In addition students must complete a
unique course in metrology using ANSI Y 14.5, "DIMENSIONING & T0LERANCING."
They also qualify at Level I in four (4) nondestructive testing areas in the
"Welding Specs & Codes" course. The ability to calculate reliabilities is the
end product of the "Elements of QA/QC" course.
Students for the past four summers have taken the optional "On-Site QA
Internship" at commercial nuclear power plants in cooperation with the A/E's and
utility companies in Pennsylvania and Ohio. This direct experience has been
very beneficial for students in completing their second year and has improved
their employment oppportunities.
