ASME NQA-1
The nuclear-grade quality-assurance standard fusion work moves toward.
- Governs
- Nuclear-grade QA
ASME NQA-1 defines a nuclear-grade quality-assurance programme. Establishing an NQA-1-class programme is part of maturing from a design study toward a licensable, buildable plant — an item Kronos flags as work to be done rather than assumed complete.
Honest readiness means naming the quality programme as a gap, not glossing it.
Common questions
What is ASME NQA-1?
The nuclear quality-assurance standard governing how safety-related work is planned, controlled and documented. Kronos references it for the rigour its safety-relevant systems require.
Why adopt a nuclear QA standard?
Because tritium handling and radiation protection demand nuclear-grade traceability, and NQA-1 is the recognised framework for that quality assurance.
