Nuclear Quality Knowledge (NQK)
The Nuclear Quality Knowledge (NQK) has been prepared by the CQI Nuclear Network to supplement the CQI knowledge & research. NQK aims to highlight the nuances quality professionals experience on joining or supplying the nuclear sector, due to the special hazards and regulatory requirements that apply.
The NQK underpins the CQI Profession Map and the nuclear context competences, to help members’ continual personal development (CPD). The NQK can be used:
·as a reference for structured learning, support and guidance,
·as a source to dip into when coming across specific topics or issues, or
·as a source of information to support continual personal development (CPD).
