Surveillance Parameters - std3028

DOE-STD-3028-2000

Along with initial inspections, the Surveillance Program may consist of other

elements that provide enhanced surveillance to certain subpopulations of the

package inventory. These subpopulations may be determined on a random or non-

random basis

3. Inspection/surveillance methods must be documented to ensure consistency.

Delineation of responsibilities is needed to ensure a consistent management

approach and awareness of responsibilities.

4. No further basis is provided.

A.6.4.2

Surveillance Parameters

The parameters specified by the criterion are the measurable indicators identified in Sections

6.2 and 6.3, above. These parameters provide an indication of material stability and package

integrity.

A.6.4.3

Evaluation of Surveillance Data

These evaluations confirm the continuing safety of the packages.

A.6.5 Documentation

A.6.5.1

Database

An electronic database is recommended because a manual database could be overly

cumbersome. The architecture is not specified here to allow maximum flexibility to interface with

existing databases and files. Some data will be classified, partly because Category I quantities

of SNM will be stored.

A.6.5.2

Database Content Elements

1. These parameters allow the most appropriate characterization practical. The intent is

to capture all available relevant information, and not to require additional

characterization beyond that which is already available.

2. Package data can meet a number of needs. For example, if a Package exhibits

unexpected behavior, these data can help identify other, similar Packages that may

require inspection. These data also allow disposition processing to be optimized.
