Technical Knowledge and Skills - Continued

DOE-STD-3015-2004

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

a. Describe the hazards presented to the safety of NEOs and associated activities by the

introduction of electrical energy sources or equipment using any electrical source into a

nuclear explosive area (NEA).

b. Describe the controls and design measures to prevent or limit the introduction of

electrical energy into a nuclear explosive.

c. Describe measures to control static charges, including human electrostatic discharge.

d. Describe lightning protection measures used in bays, cells, and ramps.

14. NESSG chairs and other members must have knowledge of fire protection systems and

their importance to NES.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

a. List the various types of fire protection systems, including active and passive mitigation

controls, detection systems, suppression systems, etc., that service NEAs and describe

the effects of their use on the safety of NEOs and associated activities.

b. Discuss the derivation of combustible controls, such as standoff distances, fuel

packages, and containerization, from analyses.

15. NESSG chairs and other members must have knowledge of threats such as seismic

disturbances, extreme weather, aircraft crash, external fires, and other natural

phenomena.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

a. Describe the response of facilities to the design-basis seismic event and the predicted

response of facility-related equipment.

b. Describe the response of facilities to tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding and the

predicted response of facility-related equipment.

c. Describe the response of facilities to aircraft crashes and the predicted response of

facility-related equipment.

d. Describe the response of facilities to external fires and the predicted response of facility-

related equipment.

16. NESSG chairs and other members must have knowledge of tooling, rigging, and

hoisting equipment used for handling nuclear explosives.
