NUCLEAR FACILITY SUPERVISOR. A person certified by contractor nuclear facility

management to manipulate, handle, or direct the manipulation or handling of fissionable

materials, radioactive materials, or tritium in such form and quantity that a nuclear hazard

potentially exists to the employees or the general public, or to manipulate or direct the

manipulation of the controls of equipment used to produce, process, transfer, store, or package

such materials at DOE nonreactor nuclear facilities. Nuclear facility supervisors typically

include, but are not limited to, fissionable material handler supervisors, tritium operator

supervisors, chemical process operator supervisors, waste tank operator supervisors, and

enrichment plant operator supervisors. [8/25/95 Working Draft of 10 CFR 830]

NUCLEAR OPERATION. Processing, storing, transferring, or handling of significant

quantities of fissionable material. [DOE O 5480.24]

NUCLEAR SAFETY. Aspects of safety that encompass activities and systems that present the

potential for (1) uncontrolled releases of fission products or other radioactive materials to the

environment or (2) for inadvertent criticality. [DOE Glossary] [DOE G 450.4-1B]

400.

NUCLEAR SAFETY AUTHORIZATION BASIS. See AUTHORIZATION BASIS (Add

"nuclear" in front of the word "facility" in first sentence). [DOE O 5480.21 and DOE O

5480.23]

401.

NUCLEAR SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. Mandatory nuclear safety criteria such as those

issued in DOE rules, Orders, and notices. Non-mandatory guidance or "good practices" would

not be considered to be a requirement. However, nuclear safety standards, safety guides, or

other guidance which are considered mandatory or minimal acceptance practice when issued or

are used as mandatory requirements for assessments would be considered to be the same as

requirements. [EH62dd1]

402.

NUCLEAR STATUTE. Any statute or provision of a statute that relates to a DOE nuclear

activity and for which DOE is responsible. [10 CFR 820.2]

403.

OCCUPANCY. The purpose for which a building, or portion thereof, is used or intended to

be used. For DOE facilities, the occupancy classification for purposes of determining

construction, protection and area limitations should be as determined under the provisions of the

applicable local building code or the Uniform Building Code unless otherwise specified by the

DOE Authority Having Jurisdiction. [DOE-STD-1066-99]

404.

OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGEN. A chemical substance that has been evaluated by the

International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and found to be a carcinogen or potential

carcinogen (i.e., Groups 1, 2A, or 2B); is listed as a substance known or reasonably anticipated
