DOE-STD-3024-98
specific documents, it would seem senseless not to use it just because it is not-safety-related. The majority of
the cost of retrieving the information has already been spent, so it would be very cost-effective to include this
non-safety information in the SDD, also. Besides, SDDs are not limited in scope to safety-related
information.
RESOLVING CONFLICTING INFORMATION
Invariably it seems, we will find that some information in one source document does not agree with
information in another source document. Fortunately, most of the time, these conflicts can be quickly
resolved. For example, the cognizant system engineer may be able to identify information that is outdated
and no longer applicable. However, sometimes, the conflicts cannot be easily resolved. In these cases the
conflict should be formally documented and tracked until it is resolved. It is recommended that a log of Open
Items for the SDD be kept for this purpose.
The Open Items need to be reviewed to determine if any are safety-significant. Safety-significant Open Items
should be treated as discrepancies within the facility non-conformance program. The discrepancies need to
be reviewed also to determine if any impact "Operability" of any systems, or might be "reportable
occurrences." Open Items that are not safety-significant, but involve critical information that could have an
adverse impact on facility operations should also be formally tracked to closure.
MISSING INFORMATION
With the retrieval of design information completed, a determination should be made regarding what
information may still be missing and if any of that information is truly critical to safety or to effective and
efficient operations. If the missing information is not critical, do not invest any more time and money into
perfecting the data bank. If the missing information is truly critical, a plan must be developed to recover that
information. Here again, the DOE-STD-3009 approach to the problem may be valuable. In a few cases,
calculations or analyses might have to be regenerated.
