Responsible Contractor Startup Notification Report.

DOE-STD-3006-95

the facility being started including consent or Compliance Agreements, approved Implementation

Plans, and Standards/Requirements Identification Documents (S/RIDS).

c. The contractor's ORR should provide a structured and independent appraisal of the facility's

readiness to startup/restart. The ORR is a verification that line management responsible for the

facility has successfully achieved a state of readiness to commence facility operations. The ORR

should not be used as a management technique to achieve a state of readiness to commence facility

operations.

An effective ORR process will provide assurance that these objectives are accomplished and

documented. The verification of these objectives is accomplished by performance-based evaluations,

which include (but are not limited to) review of documentation, field observations, interviews,

observation of training evolutions, integrated system checkouts or cold run demonstrations,

walkdowns of procedures, etc.

5.1.2 Responsible Contractor Startup Notification Report. Periodically as specified by Operations

Office procedures (recommended to be quarterly), the responsible contractor should develop a startup

notification report or change to an existing report that identifies all known facility new starts and

restarts. The report will identify the facility, specify whether an ORR or a readiness assessment is

required to verify readiness to commence or resume operations, and for facilities requiring an ORR

recommend an approval authority. The remarks should describe the basis for the recommended actions

based on the requirements in DOE 0 425.1.

5.1.3 Responsible Contractor Operational Readiness Review Plan-of-Action. For new starts and

restarts requiring an ORR, the responsible contractor management should provide an ORR plan-of-

action that specifies the intent to conduct an ORR and briefly describe the proposed ORR process to

the DOE. The plan-of-action should clearly delineate management responsibilities, authority, and

accountability for the ORR (as specified in the DOE 0 425.1) and include the following:

o Notice of the intent to conduct an ORR;

o Identification and description of the facility;

o Team leader;

o Prerequisite conditions;
