Description / Abstract:
This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with ANSI
N45.2 and addresses the quality assurance requirements related to
subsurface investigations performed prior to the construction of
safety related structures of nuclear power plants.
Applicability
The requirements of this Standard apply to the work of any
organization or individual participating in subsurface geotechnical
investigations such as drilling, coring, sampling, trenching,
logging, geophysical methods, or testing or in interpreting results
of subsurface investigations. This Standard is intended to apply to
any of these activities which will be used to formulate design
bases for the plant. The extent to which the individual
requirements of this Standard apply will depend upon the nature and
scope of work to be performed and the importance of the item or
service involved.
