Seasonal Facility Preservation

DOE-STD-1064-94

3. SEASONAL FACILITY PRESERVATION

3.1 Discussion

The fundamental objective of an effective seasonal facility preservation plan should

be to ensure continued safe facility operations. This objective requires that appropriate

controls be established for inspections and self-assessments of seasonal facility

preservation plans to ensure correction of deficiencies or preparation of other

compensatory measures to protect DOE nuclear facilities.

The plan should clearly define responsibilities, accountabilities, and interfaces for

each functional organization supporting each step in the plan. A seasonal facility

preservation plan, as a minimum, should include the following elements:

Cold weather preparation including freezing conditions, hail, snow, and ice

Flash

floods

Hurricane watches and warnings

Tornado watches and warnings (High Winds)

Extreme hot/dry weather

Plant status at the time a severe weather condition exist should dictate actions

NOTE:

required to place the plant in a state of readiness for seasonal facility

preservation.

Building Managers should consider seasonal related problems as priority and take

immediate corrective action to minimize damage.

Appendix A may be used as an example checklist for Cold Weather conditions.

3.2 Scope

This guideline applies to seasonal facility preservation plan activities involving

maintenance organizations throughout.
