		A common theme of SQAS documents is that management plays a pivotal role in the development of quality software, and that it is only through management support that the programmatic elements required to perform all aspects of quality software development and implementation can be adequately accomplished.
		To ensure that SQA is performed at all levels of software development a graded approach needs to be considered by reviewers, who should be capable of understanding the physical phenomena or IandC function associated with a code, the safety ramifications of code malfunctions or misapplications, and the mechanics of the code itself.
		The identification of appropriate SQA requirements promulgated through a DOE standard or equivalent mechanism, along with a means to enforce their use, would ensure the appropriate level of SQA for safety-related software.
