Student's Guide

A controlled document is content maintained

uniformly among the copies by an

Administrative Control System (paragraph 6,

Item e).

Basis: Summary statements of the reasons for

the operating limits and associated surveillance

requirements. It shows how the numerical

value, condition, or the surveillance fulfills the

purpose from the safety documentation.

B. Policy (Paragraph 7)

It is the policy of the Department that nuclear

facilities operate Cognizant Secretarial Officer

(CSO)-approved Technical Safety

Requirements, which prescribe the bounds for

safe operation of these facilities in order to

protect the health and safety of the public and

reduce risk to workers.

The TSRs constitute a contract between the

operating contractor and DOE management of

the methods that will be utilized or constraints to

be applied to minimize the potential risk of

operating the proposed facility or conducting the

proposed activity.

NOTE: TSRs apply to actions by specific facility

personnel and their commitments to responsible

DOE managers.

The Technical Safety Requirements document is

to be a controlled document.

TSRs are not based upon maintaining worker

doses below some acceptable level following an

uncontrolled release of hazardous material or

inadvertent criticality; rather, the risk to workers

is reduced through controls that reduce the

likelihood and potential impact of such events.
