Applicable DOE Documents

DOE-STD-1023-95

Specific criteria applicable to seismic hazard assessment are provided in Section 3.1 of this Standard.

Specific criteria applicable to wind hazard assessment are provided in Section 3.2 of this Standard.

Specific criteria applicable to flood hazard assessment are provided in Section 3.3 of this Standard.

Criteria for natural phenomena hazard assessments applicable to other natural phenomena hazards

such as volcanic ash, lightning, and snow are not provided in this Standard. Therefore, the minimum

criteria necessary for these and other NPH assessments of DOE facilities should be derived from

relevant consensus national codes and standards, or appropriate local codes wherever available.

General guidelines for acceptable methods to meet the NPH assessment criteria can be found in

Appendix A
