DOE-STD-3015-2004
PURPOSE
This Appendix establishes competency requirements for Nuclear Explosive Safety Study Group
(NESSG) chairs and other members. Satisfactory and documented completion of the
competency requirements contained in this Appendix ensures that NESSG chairs and other
members possess the minimum requisite competencies to fulfill their duties and responsibilities.
APPLICABILITY
The competency requirements in this Appendix apply to NESSG chairs and other members,
regardless of organization.
SENIOR TECHNICAL ADVISORS
STAs are selected from private industry, the academic community, and other government
agencies and possess superior technical backgrounds with varied experience in high consequence
operations. STAs are expected to provide a diversified perspective based on their knowledge
and experience. STAs will be provided general orientation training on nuclear explosive
operations (NEOs) and the NES evaluation process prior to assignment to a NESSG. Upon
satisfactory completion of training, the NNSA-SC/NESD will recommend STA candidates to
NA-12 for certification.
The following are types of qualities sought after in selecting NESSG STAs:
 Recognized senior-level scientist or engineer with broad technical and managerial
experience.
 Expert knowledge of technical disciplines, such as seismic phenomena, lightning, high
explosives, or electrical engineering.
 Experience with the review, approval, operation, and management of high consequence
production, manufacturing, and/or power plant operations.
 Demonstrated active participation and value added in expert panels, peer reviews, etc.
 Technical investigative skills to support safety evaluations and challenge line management's
safety case.
 Upper level management experience with the ability to seek technical expertise and advice
from national laboratories, industry, and/or academic communities.
IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Organizations providing NESSG chairs or other members must establish a program and process
to ensure that each of their members meet the competency requirements contained in this
Appendix. Documented completion of the competency requirements will be included in the
individual's training records.
In selected cases, it may be necessary to exempt an individual from one or more of the
competencies contained in this Appendix. Exemptions from individual competencies must be
justified and documented. The individual's certification authority, as identified in DOE-STD-
3015, approves requests for exemptions.
