Preparation of Implementation Plans

DOE-STD-1082-94

3. PREPARATION OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

The implementation plans detail how the site, facility, or activity has met or will

meet the nuclear safety requirements.

The format for the implementation plan is not specified. This flexibility will

permit the implementing organizations to take advantage of pre-existing

documents. For example, when making the transition from nuclear safety

Orders to nuclear safety Rules, the Department expects the implementing

organizations to use the implementation plans developed and approved for the

Orders as a basis for the Rule implementation plans. Typically, these plans

should be revised or supplemented only as necessary to reflect any new

requirements in the Rules or additional information requested in this standard or

other DOE implementation guidance. The level of detail provided in

implementation plans should be the same for Rules or Orders.

The following sections describe the minimum content expected in

implementation plans. The headings in these sections may also be used to

define the format for the plans.

3.1 Implementation Plan Summary. Each implementation plan shall

contain a summary section in the front to allow DOE management and

reviewers to quickly assess the more significant information contained in the

plan. The summary shall identify the following minimum information:

(1)

any requests for exemptions contained in the plan;

(2)

the total additional funding required to meet the requirements of

the plan and the expected sources of funding by fiscal year;

(3)

any significant new programs or activities needed to meet the

requirements;

(4)

any significant impacts to other programs or activities not included

in the plan;

(5)

any constraints to implementing the plan;

(6)

those areas where there is currently full compliance with the

requirements.
