Quality Management

The activities of the quality management department include the areas of quality assurance, quality control and independent nuclear safety assessment. The safe operation of a nuclear facility relies on the systematic organization of quality management. We provide various services in quality assurance and control through support on the processes of electrical equipment maintenance and modifications, for the nuclear facility on site, but also for the third-party nuclear service providers and according to current world standards (US 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, IAEA GSR Part 2, GS-G -3.1 and GS-G-3.5). Services are performed for activities on the primary and secondary side of the power plant and according to defined procedures, instructions and / or control procedures, with an emphasis on the operation and maintenance best practice implementation and with special focus on the quality of work activities.
