Criteria Review and Approach Documents (CRADs):

DOE-STD-3006-2000

CRADs are the documents used in the implementation plan to establish the depth of the ORR and

provide guidance to the ORR team members. As such, the quality of these documents will have a

significant impact on the overall quality of the ORR. CRADs are the bases used to evaluate the core

requirements of an ORR. The core requirements of an ORR include the 20 minimum core requirements

of the DOE O 425.1B, as well as any additional core requirements specific to the particular ORR. Each

core requirement is evaluated based on the criteria established. The criteria should be specific and as

objective as possible, dependent on the given situation.

The development of the CRADs is the means through which the graded approach is applied to the scope

of the ORR. Those areas significant to the startup or significant to the shutdown should be assessed to a

greater depth than other areas. For example, if in a maintenance shutdown, a system was modified or a

new system was added, the training, procedures, documentation, safety basis, etc., for that new system

should be reviewed exhaustively. Another system in that same facility that did not undergo modification

would receive a less comprehensive review. This review could be a sampling of the training and

procedures associated with the system. For example, 20 % of the qualified operators of unmodified

systems could be interviewed to assess level of knowledge, whereas the percentage could be higher for

the modified or new system. In a shutdown that was caused by a OSR/TSR violation due to a personnel

error, the training and qualification program for the facility should be assessed in detail while the

implementation of the safety basis itself would need a less comprehensive assessment. For a new, high

hazard facility, the depth of the review should be complete in all areas. For a restart of a low hazard

facility, the review should be focused on the areas significant to the startup or shutdown with the

remaining core areas addressed to a lesser extent, via a less extensive criteria. In general, the discussion

in the plan-of-action will guide the consideration that results in the level of detail in any particular review

area.

Each CRAD should begin with a core requirement or some portion of the core requirement. This will

ensure that all core requirements are addressed by criteria regardless of the approach used in developing

the criteria. The specific criteria, which address the core requirement or portion of a core requirement,

should follow and should be related clearly to these requirements. Each criterion then, is a statement of

the specific actions, or attributes, the inspector(s) use to make a judgement as to the readiness of the site,

facility, or process to operate in this specific area. The next section of the CRAD is the Review
