About the Nuclear Industry Assessment Corporation
Organized in 1994 by quality professionals as a result of a nuclear industry initiative to share auditing services among the members, the Nuclear Industry Assessment Committee (NIAC) was established. In 2015, we reformed as the Nuclear Industry Assessment Corporation – A California Non-Profit Corporation, which continues to fulfill its bylaws by its members performing auditing services at the highest industry performance standards while eliminating redundancy and costs associated with duplicate supplier audits. NIAC continues to grow from the original eleven (11) members to more than one hundred seventy (170) members globally.
