Hazard Analysis (HA) - dpstd3016990011

DOE-DP-STD-3016-99

and any process-specific safety requirements necessary to implement the NESR must be documented

in the HAR. In addition to an evaluation of NESRs, the HAR shall contain an evaluation and

identification of worker safety and other protection measures including Operational Safety Controls

(OSCs) for non-NES NEO-specific hazards. OSCs formalize the implementation of safety controls

that address accident scenarios with the potential to lead to severe worker injury, public, or

environmental consequences other than those caused by ND, HED/D, or fire.

Institutional safety plans and programs provide facility/site nuclear safety and nuclear explosive safety

commitments relating to the implementation of criticality safety, radiation protection, hazardous

material protection, conduct of operations, etc. These facility nuclear safety and nuclear explosive

safety commitments provide facility/site specific administrative and operational controls for all general

and common nuclear explosive operations. HARs should document that these institutional safety

plans and programs meet the control requirements and are applicable to the specific NEOs. In

particular, the HAR should supplement the institutional safety chapters of the SAR by identifying

process-specific control requirements. If there are no unique controls or programmatic requirements

for the specific operation, the HAR should provide a statement to that effect.

Integrating the HA with the operation development enables safety considerations to be incorporated

into the operation design. Therefore, when possible, HAs should be conducted during, and integrated

with, process design and development in order to identify and evaluate potential modifications to the

operations, equipment, and administrative controls.

HAZARD ANALYSIS (HA)

The responsibility for conducting the HA and preparing the HAR shall be assigned to an experienced

HA team. The size and composition of the team depend on the combination, magnitude and type of

hazards involved, the nuclear explosive, and the complexity of the operation being evaluated. To be

effective, the team must include a combination of safety analysis and subject matter experts familiar

with the specific NEO being analyzed.

The HA shall include a systematic evaluation of the operation to identify hazards and develop potential

hazard scenarios. Throughout the entire evaluation process the HAR team will identify controls that
