Quality Assurance Considerations for the Implementation of a Pulsed Power R&D Project

Abstract

The second generation Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator (PBFA II) at Sandia National Laboratories (SNLA) is a $48.15M construction project that includes conventional facilities such as buildings as well as state-of-the-art pulsed power designs and special support systems. The project also includes considerations for longer term program goals, such as breakeven fusion reactions. This project started in May 1980 and is scheduled for completion in January 1986. Implementation of Quality Assurance (QA) policies, techniques and programs, although not a straightforward problem for this complex project, has been effective as demonstrated by progress thus far. The discussion will describe key features of the QA program, their implementation and the results.
