1 Applying NQA-1 Requirements for Computer Software Used in Nuclear Facilities ASME 2014 Small Modular Reactors Symposium April 17, 2014 Presented by: Norman P. Moreau, PE, CSQE, CQA President and Principal Consultant Theseus Professional Services, LLC Westminster, MD
2 Who Am I? President and Principal Consultant of Theseus Professional Services. Theseus is a Veteran-Owned Small Business providing quality related services to various industries. B.S. in Mechanical Engr. and M.S.A in Software Engineering Administration Started in the nuclear industry in 1986 First software QA project in 1988 Member of NQA-1 since 1992 Member of EPRI team that developed CGD guidance (Doc. # ) Held positions as programmer, SQE, software tester, software process engineering manager, SQA manager Disclaimer: The views expressed by the speaker do not represent the views or positions of the ASME NQA-1 Committee, the NRC or EPRI. They are the views of the speaker only 2014 TPS, LLC. All rights reserved. SMR Slide 2
3 Why We Need SQA? SOFTWARE IS HARD... writing of programs proved to be much more difficult than all the other things I [Donald E. Knuth] had done (like proving theorems or writing books). The creation of good software demands a significantly higher standard of accuracy than those other things do, and it requires a longer attention span than other intellectual tasks. [Meir Lehman] it is easy to decide to change software, it is another thing entirely to actually change it.

6 NQA Part I Introduction: Terms and Definitions Computer program a combination of computer instructions and data definitions that enables computer hardware to perform computational or control functions used for: (a) (b) (c) (d) Design analysis; Operations or process control; or Data base or document control registers when used as the controlled source of quality information for (a) or (b) above. To the extent that computer programs are a physical part of plant systems (SIS, DI&C) they are included in the term item. Software computer programs and associated documentation and data pertaining to the operation of a computer system The source of both definitions used in ASME NQA-1 is ANSI/IEEE TPS, LLC. All rights reserved. SMR Slide 6
7 Software Used in the Nuclear Industry Use: Ex: Process Control (Digital I&C) PLC, EPROM, Instrumentation, HMI Also EPRI Guidance, Appendix C Design Analysis (Design & Analysis) FEA, Code Calc, Structural, Geotechnical, Seismic, Dispersion Operations (Mgmt. & Admin) ERP, MRP, e-p&id, CMMS, e-doc/e- Record Control Systems Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.

8 Software Requirements in ASME NQA-1 Part I describes the overall programmatic quality assurance requirements applicable to all aspects of nuclear facilities. Part II contains amplifying quality assurance requirements for certain specific work activities that occur at various stages of a facility TPS, LLC. All rights reserved. SMR Slide 8
9 Software Guidance in ASME NQA-1 Part III provides nonmandatory guidance on approaches and methods to implement the requirements of Parts I and II. Part IV was developed using lessons learned, proven methods of performance, best practices, and insights of the NQA Committee to provide nonmandatory guidance on approaches and methods to apply Part I and/or Part II requirements to specific applications TPS, LLC.
