shall be used;

(2) Use of any standard in the design, construction, testing,

modification, operation, decommissioning,

decontamination, and remediation of DOE facilities,

programs, or projects shall be documented in appropriate

design or safety documents for those activities, such as

System Design Descriptions and Safety Analyses Reports;

(3)

Standards should be referenced, in entirety or in part,

tailored as appropriate to specific needs. Where parts

of standards are referenced in contracts, specifications,

or other documents, these documents may include the text

from the standards provided that the text is quoted

a given activity, DOE offices shall develop DOE or

limited standards which specify proven engineering,

technical, or administrative requirements for processes,

procedures, systems, practices, products, and methods;

NE-70 will continuously review limited standards to

determine if they have applications beyond a particular

standard prepared, and after appropriate changes have

been made based on the comments received from

Departmental elements affected by or having an interest

in the standard, cooperate with the lead Secretarial

Officer and arrange for the issuance of the DOE Standard
