Nuclear Quality Audits and Assessments:
Sharing Resources for Quality Success
Presenter: Katrina Anderson
NIAC Steering Committee Audit Checklist Chair
Nuclear Quality Manager, AECOM
The Nuclear Industry Assessment Committee (NIAC) was established in 1994 by nuclear industry quality professionals. Its goal was to share auditing services among members. In 2015, NIAC became the non-profit Nuclear Industry Assessment Corporation.
Membership is comprised of companies who supply safety related equipment and/or services to the nuclear industry. Members perform audit services at the highest industry performance standards while eliminating redundancy and costs associated with duplicate supplier audits.
Presenter Katrina Anderson will share information about how NIAC can help companies doing business in the nuclear quality realm, including marketing to larger nuclear businesses.
Join us on March 27 to learn more about:
· Purpose and History of NIAC
· NIAC Shared Audit Program
· How it Works – Conducting Audits and Sharing Results
· Membership Criteria – Must Meet or Exceed Specific Standards
NIAC has grown significantly over the years, now comprising over 170 worldwide members. Its collaborative approach benefits both suppliers and the nuclear industry as a whole.
