A. Produce, process, or store radioactive liquid or solid waste, fissionable materials, or

tritium;

B. Conduct separations operations;

C. Conduct irradiated and/or fissionable materials inspection, fuel fabrication,

decontamination, or recovery operations;

D. Conduct fuel enrichment operations; or

E. Perform environmental remediation or waste management activities involving

radioactive materials.

Incidental use and generation of radioactive materials in a facility operation (e.g., check

and calibration sources, use of radioactive sources in research and experimental and

analytical laboratory activities, electron microscopes, and X-ray machines) would not

ordinarily require the facility to be included in this definition. Accelerators and reactors

and their operations are not included. [DOE G 421.1-1]

381.

NONSTOCHASTIC EFFECTS. Effects due to radiation exposure for which the severity

varies with the dose and for which a threshold normally exists (e.g., radiation-induced

opacities within the lens of the eye). [10 CFR 835.2]

382.

NOTICE. DOE Notices, part of the DOE directives System, are one-time issuances used

for short-term (1 year or less) instructions and information on any subject. Notices also

may be used to immediately establish requirements for DOE Elements, and when

incorporated into contracts, they also become requirements for DOE contractors. Notices

may also disseminate needed information until an Order can be issued or amended. [DOE

N 1321.138] [EH62dd1]

383.

NOTIFICATION REPORT. The initial documented report, to the Department, of an

event or condition that meets the reporting criteria defined in DOE O 5000.3B. The

Notification Report shall consist of fields 1 through 18 of the Occurrence Report. [DOE

O 5000.3B] [EH62dd1]

NPH MITIGATION. An action taken to reduce the impacts of Natural Phenomena

384.

Hazards (NPH). This includes natural phenomena hazard resistant design, evaluation,

construction requirements, and operational procedures. [DOE O 5480.28] [EH62dd1]

[DOE G 420.1-2]
