The resource estimate for conducting inspections of pre-construction activities depends on the amount of such activities occurring before a COL is issued that may support the NRC’s closure verification of ITAAC. However, the resource estimate for conducting pre-construction inspections should not exceed approximately 100 hours of direct inspection. icensees may have contractors acting as their agent but using separate QA programs. For this circumstance, additional resources may be necessary to review additional QA program. The following areas should be evaluated for each contractor to determine if QA program should be reviewed and the necessary level of review: The contractor’s scope of work; applicability of each criteria of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B; and The need for full or partial samples for each applicable criterion.
