Abstract

Monitoring and supervision of factors that predominantly affect the successful implementation of quality management systems on the project will improve the quality of construction that provides a safety factor in the construction of a pilot plant nuclear fuel processing, to determine those factors is the aim of this research. The separation of Uranium, Thorium, and Rare Earth Metals Pilot Plant was used as a case of the research. Adopted descriptive research design were the primary data collected using questionnaires. Data collected analysed thought multiple linear regressions that only done on factors that have correlation strong – very strong. International Standard Organisation series 9001:2015 and International Atomic Energy Agency safety standards series No. GS-R3 were used as independent variables (X), contamination level was used as dependent variable (Y) that reflected project quality. The result is there are three factors that statistically significant influencing project quality: leadership and commitment, project planning, and safety culture. Those factors influencing the achievement of construction quality of the pilot plant uranium, thorium and rare earth element i.e. 92.3%, while the remaining 7.7% (100-92.3%) is determined by other variables.
