Hazard Analysis Reports (HAR)

DOE-DP-STD-3016-99

The HA must identify the safety control requirements and bases required for the NEO. For these

control requirements, the HAR should include supporting analysis and documentation prepared in

accordance with DOE O 5480.22 and its supporting standards.

HAZARD ANALYSIS REPORTS (HAR)

The HAR documents the HA of a NEO and associated activities. Site-specific HAR handbooks

discuss the conduct of the analyses, analytical methodology and techniques, derivation of controls, and

the format and content of HARs. As a minimum, the HAR shall include:

An executive summary that provides an overview of the HAR and its main conclusions.

An introduction that provides a discussion of: the objectives, scope of the analysis, the

operations conducted, and the limitations and assumptions employed in the HA.

A description of the nuclear explosive and its intrinsic hazards.

A description of the NEO and the facility(ies) where the operation is to be conducted. The

discussion should focus on the facility and nuclear explosive configurations and processes

including equipment and tooling. The discussion should also include interfaces between the

operation and facility having safety implications. Generic safety controls utilized during the

operation should be discussed.

A discussion of the methodology used to conduct the HA and derive safety controls and safety

requirements.

A summary of the identification of hazards and potential hazard scenarios under normal and

abnormal conditions considering both internal and external environments for each step in the

NEO.

A discussion of the development, characterization, and evaluation of the hazard scenarios that

could lead to ND, HED/D, fire, severe worker injury, damage to the environment, or other

significant offsite consequences. This evaluation shall support the identification of safety
