implementation guidance for 10

CFR 830 when it is finalized.

On October 10, 2000 an Interim final rule was

published in the Federal Register for 10 CFR 830,

"Nuclear Safety Management". The Interim Final Rule

was effective December 11, 2000, and codifies

requirements for TSRs in 10 CFR 830.205. The new

rule requires contractors to develop and submit TSRs

to DOE for approval by April 10, 2003. In the interim,

contractors are required to meet existing safety bases,

including TSRs.

TSRs are a critical element in the overall DOE safety

program.

administrative controls necessary to ensure the

safe operation of nuclear facilities and to reduce

the potential risk to the public and facility

workers from uncontrolled releases of

radioactive materials or from radiation exposure

due to inadvertent criticality. Technical Safety

Requirements consist of safety limits, operating

limits, surveillance requirements, administrative

controls, use and application instructions, and

the bases thereof.
