Forged Operations · SMR & new build
Document control, quality records, supplier qualification and audits, training, calibration, inspection and test plans and corrective action, all standing up at once before the first safety-related order. Nuclear quality tools are built for programs that already exist, so buying one starts with a migration project. You have nothing to move, and no reason to assemble it a piece at a time.
18 questions, mapped to the NQA-1 requirements. Your score and gap list open as soon as you tell us where to send the report.

Most programs end up split across a dozen tools, because each one was bought separately to solve one problem. These areas were built together, so a record made in one is the record the next one reads.
The QA manual, the procedures under it, and every form they call for: written, reviewed, approved, issued at a revision. A signed form is a quality record straight away.

Supplier files with certifications, documents and contracts, each with its own expiry. Audits run from a template, filled in as they happen, and a finding becomes a nonconformance in one step.

Who was qualified to sign, on the day they signed. Which gauge took the reading and whether it was in calibration. The inspection and test plan, signed off point by point.

A condition reported, dispositioned, given a cause, and closed against evidence. Every action is recorded as it happens and cannot be edited after, and every AI answer points back to its record.

The whole program
Not the engineering or the build. The quality program: the parts a regulator and a customer both ask to see.
| Program area | What it has to be able to produce | What carries it |
|---|---|---|
| Document control | The revision in force on a date, and who approved it. | Written, approved and issued in one place, the signature part of the record. |
| Quality records | Any record, retrievable for the life of the plant. | Records land here from every area as they are made. |
| Supplier qualification | That this supplier was approved for this scope, on this date. | Supplier files with certifications, documents and contracts, each with its own expiry. |
| Audits and assessments | The checklist worked, the evidence behind it, and what closed each finding. | Audits run from a template and filled in as they happen. |
| Training and qualification | That whoever signed was qualified to, that day. | Qualification records per person and process, checked at sign-off. |
| Calibration and M&TE | Calibration status on the measurement date, and what was affected if it lapsed. | Equipment inventory with calibration history and out-of-tolerance disposition. |
| Inspection and test | The plan, its hold and witness points, and who released each. | Written, reviewed, then signed off point by point on one record. |
| Nonconformance and corrective action | The condition, its disposition, the cause, and what closed it. | One process from first report to verified close. |
| The audit trail | What everyone did, in plain language. | Recorded automatically on every action, and never edited after. |
None of this replaces a QA engineer's judgment. It removes the collecting and cross-referencing around it.
Lewis · the AI quality manager for nuclear
Standing a program up from zero means the volume arrives before the headcount does. Lewis does the reading, the drafting and the assembling, and hands your team the decision.
Every record checked and verified as it lands, rather than sampled once a year at audit time.
Turns supplier audit findings into a drafted report your lead auditor edits and signs.
Pulls the package together for a review, an audit, or a first regulatory look.
Built by operators, in production with
Founded by engineers out of Ontario Power Generation, and in production with operating nuclear organizations. Each customer runs its own isolated instance, in our cloud, in yours, or on-premise and air-gapped.

Questions
It applies requirements in proportion to safety significance. For a developer buying mostly from suppliers with no nuclear history, grading is what keeps enough of them in reach to hold the schedule.
Most nuclear quality software assumes a program that already exists, so it arrives as a rip-and-replace with a parallel run attached. You have nothing to move, so you can start with everything connected on day one.
It follows from where you are licensing. CSA N286 is what the CNSC expects of a licensee in Canada. NQA-1 is the ASME standard used across North America, and how a US program shows it meets 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.
No. Each area is turned on separately, so you can start with document control and supplier qualification and add the rest as the work reaches them. They already share the same records and the same history of who did what.
