1.2 Background

The information in this guide was developed from commercial and DOE sources.

Each facility should select any details applicable, add any additional knowledge or

experience that is applicable, and then develop and implement facility-specific processes

for establishing maintenance tool and equipment control. Facilities which use existing

documented processes should review this guide to identify details which may enhance

their existing methods.

1.3 Application

The content of this guide is generally applicable to all DOE nuclear facilities.

Portions of the methods outlined may not be applicable to all facilities because

maintenance organizations, disciplines, titles, and responsibilities can vary among DOE

nuclear facilities. Facility maintenance personnel should (1) verify the adequacy of or

(2) improve existing maintenance processes by adapting this guide to their specific

facility and individual maintenance disciplines.
