The following national consensus codes and standards

DOE-STD-1020-2002

design, evaluation and construction requirements of varying conservatism and rigor are

established ranging from common practice for conventional facilities to practices used for more

hazardous critical facilities.

Four DOE Standards (DOE-STDS-1020, 1021, 1022, 1023) have been developed to

provide specific acceptance criteria for various aspects of NPH to meet the requirements of DOE

O 420.1 and the associated Guides. These NPH standards should be used in conjunction with

other pertinent documents which provide more detailed methods on specific NPH design and

evaluation subjects such as DOE guidance documents, consensus national standards, model

building codes, and industry accepted codes and specifications. Figure 1-1 presents a conceptual

NPH design frame work which identifies how the DOE standards are used to assess NPH design

requirements.
