Comparison of Global Quality Assurance
& Management System Standards used for
Nuclear Applications
Upon completion of this two-day, intermediate-level course, managers,

engineers and program developers will have a better understanding of
the major international Nuclear Quality Assurance Standards and how
they relate and interact.
Following an introduction to the ASME Section III Nuclear Power Code,

the course offers an overview of the ASME NQA-1 Nuclear Quality
Assurance Standard, the ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard,
the NSQ-100 Nuclear Safety and Quality Management System
Requirements, and the IAEA GS-R-3 Management Systems Standard.
It also compares the NQA-1 Standard with the ISO 9001:2008, NSQ
100, and the IAEA GS-R-3 Management Systems Safety Series
Standard. The course also provides analysis of the areas of their
agreement and differences.
This course is designed for engineers, managers and quality

personnel who are, or will be, directly or indirectly involved in
manufacturing, fabrication and examination of components or
structures for nuclear power facilities. Participants are expected
to have at least one year of experience in design, construction,
quality assurance or operation of nuclear facilities. They may also

have a supporting-supplier role for nuclear power facilities and their
components or development of management system integration of
nuclear quality requirements across global boundaries.

INTRODUCING THE
ASME BOLTING SPECIALIST

QUALIFICATION
Bolters can now be trained and evaluated on their ability

to inspect, assemble, disassemble and tighten bolted
joints in an effective and safe manner through ASME’s
new Bolting Specialist Qualification Programme.
Through four online courses and a one-day live hands-on
training session, successful candidates will understand
and demonstrate the principles and practices of safe
bolted joint assembly as outlined in Appendix A of ASME
PCC-1: Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange
Joint Assembly.
Candidates who successfully complete the online courses
and pass the online final examination –
as well as the hands-on instructor’s evaluation –
will receive the ASME Certificate for the Qualified
Bolting Specialist.

IN MEMORIAM
Michael Dodge
1951-2017
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Michael Dodge.
Mike passed away September 23, 2017. Mike had resigned from his
position on the Learning & Development team in May.
Not only was Mike the Manager of Content Development at ASME, he

was a cultural leader, a trusted mentor, and a great friend. In the short
time I worked with Mike, I learned to trust him immensely. Mike will
surely be missed by the L&D team, and the greater ASME including the
volunteers, instructors and subject matter experts with whom he worked.
Mike always had a passion for training engineers, and his spirit will
continue on.
