  16. GTSTRUDL QA/QC Requirements of the U.S.A. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Safety Critical Structural Engineering Software • Audits by end-users regulated by the NRC • It is the responsibility of the design company that is regulated by the U.S. NRC to pass the responsibility for conformance to NRC's quality standards to the vendor (i.e., supplier) of the structural analysis and design software. Each such regulated company must perform all necessary audits of the structural software vendor and report the results of such audit to both the software vendor and the U.S. NRC. • The audit report identifies any deficiencies found, and requires that all deficiencies be corrected. If any identified deficiencies are not corrected within the required period of time, then the software which is the subject of the audit is removed from the list of approved safety related software products.
