DOE-HDBK-1188-2006
biological effect as one roentgen of X-ray or gamma ray exposure. One rem equals 0.01 sievert.
(See absorbed dose, dose equivalent, and quality factor.) [Derived from DOE 6430.1A, HPRH,
ANSI N1.1]
151. REMOTE-HANDLED WASTE. In general, refers to radioactive waste that must be handled at a
distance to protect workers from unnecessary exposure.
"Remote-handled transuranic waste" means transuranic waste with a dose rate of 200 millirem per hour
or more at the surface of the waste package. (See contact-handled waste.)
[Derived from WIPP LWA, DOE 5820.2A]
152. RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA). A law that gives the
Environmental Protection Agency the authority to control hazardous waste from "cradle to grave"
(i.e., from the point of generation to the point of ultimate disposal), including its minimization,
generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal. RCRA also sets forth a framework for
the management of non-hazardous solid wastes. (See hazardous waste and solid waste.) [Derived
from EPA OPPT]
153. RISK. The probability of a detrimental effect from exposure to a hazard. Risk is often expressed
quantitatively as the probability of an adverse event occurring multiplied by the consequence of that
event (i.e., the product of these two factors). However, separate presentation of probability and
consequence is often more informative. [Derived from Suter, DOE 5480.30, Recommendations
Book]
154. SAFE SECURE TRAILER (SST). A specially modified semi-trailer, pulled by an armored tractor
truck, which DOE uses to transport nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons components, or special
nuclear material over public highways. [Derived from DOE 5610.12]
155. SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT (SAR). A report that systematically identifies potential hazards
within a nuclear facility, describes and analyzes the adequacy of measures to eliminate or control
identified hazards, and analyzes potential accidents and their associated risks. Safety analysis reports
are used to ensure that a nuclear facility can be constructed, operated, maintained, shut down, and
decommissioned safely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Safety analysis reports
are required for DOE nuclear facilities and as a part of applications for Nuclear Regulatory
Commission licenses. The NRC regulations or DOE Orders and Technical Standards that apply to
the facility type provide specific requirements for the content of safety analysis reports. (See nuclear
facility.) [Derived from DOE 5480.23; 10 CFR Parts 2, 50, 52, 60, 72, and 76]
156. SCOPING. An early and open process for determining the scope of issues to be addressed in an
environmental impact statement (EIS) and for identifying the significant issues related to a proposed
action.
