Responsible Contractor ORR Implementation Plan

DOE-STD-3006-2000

The plan-of-action should clearly delineate management responsibilities, authority, and accountability for

the ORR (as specified in the DOE O 425.1B) and include the following:

Notice of the intent to conduct an ORR;

Identification and description of the facility;

Team leader;

Prerequisites;

Define the breadth of the review;

Estimated start date(s) of the review; and,

Estimated time needed to conduct the review.

5.1.4 Responsible Contractor ORR Implementation Plan. Consistent with the breadth defined in the

ORR plan-of-action and the specific facility involved, a structured review plan should be prepared and

implemented that identifies all of the necessary criteria and review approaches required for the

determination of readiness to safely startup and operate the specified facility. The Implementation Plan

defines the ORR depth to be consistent with the breadth and conditions of the restart. If a previous ORR

has been completed for the facility being reviewed, the ORR Implementation Plan and subsequent review

should stress the operations that have changed since the last review as well as the effectiveness of

corrective actions for any findings. The ORR Implementation Plan is described in Section 5.9.2.

5.1.5 Contractor Operational Readiness Review Team. The overall responsibility of the ORR team

is to examine the aspects of the activity under review and assure themselves, management, and the DOE

that the equipment, procedures, and personnel associated with the activity are ready for startup and safe

operation. To ensure independence, the ORR teams shall not include as senior members (including team

leader) individuals who are from offices assigned direct line management responsibility for the work

being reviewed by the startup or restart authority: any exceptions require approval of the startup or restart

authority. Additionally, no ORR team member shall review his or her own work or work for which they

are directly responsible.

5.1.5.1 Contractor ORR Team Leader. This is a senior individual with the necessary qualifications

for managing and conducting the ORR. The basis of the qualifications should include:

Technical familiarity with the activities and functional areas being reviewed;

Previous performance-based review experience or training;
