DOE-STD-1128-98
Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiological Protection in Plutonium Facilities
7.2.3.3 Plans and Procedures
Facility nuclear criticality safety plans and procedures are important components of
the overall facility operation. These documents provide the means by which the
program is conducted and prescribe how nuclear criticality safety is to be achieved.
These plans and procedures identify how both the administrative activities are to occur
and how the technical aspects of nuclear criticality safety analysis are conducted. The
purpose of procedures is to facilitate the safe and efficient conduct of operations. The
processes of procedure development, review, training, and approval have sufficient
controls to ensure that nuclear criticality concerns are properly addressed. These
controls include the periodic review and reaffirmation of these procedures, ensuring
that procedure deviations are properly investigated and reported to facility
management and, if appropriate, to DOE. The controls should also mitigate the
possibility of such deviations recurring.
Procedures should exist that address the determination and posting of nuclear
criticality safety parameters. These procedures should include a description of how
the limits are to be determined and how workstations are to be posted as to form,
geometry controls, mass limits, moderator limits, etc.
Inspections and audits are performed to assess the success of the nuclear criticality
safety program. The audits must be performed by qualified individuals who are
independent of the operation. They are conducted to verify that operating procedures
and other safety standards are being followed and to identify any weaknesses in the
nuclear safety program. Deficiencies identified in these inspections and audits must
be formally addressed, tracked, reported, and resolved.
ANSI/ANS-8.20 (ANSI, 1991) provides guidance for development of nuclear
criticality safety training plans and procedures for personnel working with or near
fissile materials. This program and its associated procedures should describe the
program, training requirements, recordkeeping, content, responsibilities, and
objectives of a facility nuclear criticality safety program.
7.2.3.4 Nuclear Facility Safety Analysis
Safety analysis reports document the analysis and the potential consequences of
accidents and abnormal occurrences at nuclear facilities. For those facilities which
process, store, and handle plutonium and other fissile materials, nuclear criticality
safety analysis is a required element of the facility safety analysis report. The process
includes the identification of hazards in the facility (including nuclear criticality safety
hazards), the identification and development of potential scenarios involving nuclear
