DOE-STD-1173-2003
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
FUNCTIONAL AREA QUALIFICATION STANDARD
Criticality Safety
PURPOSE
DOE M 426.1-1, Federal Technical Capability Manual, commits the Department to continuously
strive for technical excellence. The Technical Qualification Program, along with the supporting
Technical Qualification Standards, complements the personnel processes that support the
DOE's drive for technical excellence. In support of this goal, the competency requirements
defined in the Technical Qualification Standards should be aligned with and integrated into the
recruitment and staffing processes for technical positions. The Technical Qualification
Standards should form the primary basis for developing vacancy announcements, qualification
requirements, crediting plans, interviewing questions, and other criteria associated with the
recruitment, selection, and internal placement of technical personnel. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) minimum qualification standards will be greatly enhanced by the application
of appropriate materials from the technical Functional Area Qualification Standards.
The Technical Qualification Standards are not intended to replace the OPM Qualifications
Standards nor other Departmental personnel standards, rules, plans, or processes. The
primary purpose of the Technical Qualification Program is to ensure that employees have the
requisite technical competency to support the mission of the Department. The Technical
Qualification Program forms the basis for the development and assignment of DOE personnel
responsible for ensuring the safe operation of defense nuclear facilities.
APPLICABILITY
The Criticality Safety Functional Area Qualification Standard establishes common functional area
competency requirements for Department of Energy criticality safety personnel who provide
assistance, direction, guidance, oversight, or evaluation of contractor technical activities that
could impact the safe operation of DOE's defense nuclear facilities. The technical Functional
Area Qualification Standard has been developed as a tool to assist DOE Program and Field
offices in the development and implementation of the Technical Qualification Program in their
organization. For ease of transportability of qualifications between DOE elements, Program and
Field offices are expected to use this technical Functional Area Qualification Standard without
modification or additions. Needed additional office/site/facility specific technical competencies
should be handled separately. Satisfactory and documented attainment of the competency
requirements contained in this technical Functional Area Qualification Standard ensures that
criticality safety personnel possess the requisite competence to fulfill their functional area duties
and responsibilities. Office/Facility-Specific Qualification Standards supplement this technical
Functional Area Qualification Standard and establish unique operational competency
requirements at the Headquarters or Field element, site, or facility level.
