APPENDIX A

FUNCTIONAL AREAS FOR DOE TECHNICAL STANDARDS

Functional

Description

Area Code

ALTF

Alternate Fuels Provisions for the development, documentation, and

implementation of plans to use fuels which have been determined to be

alternate fuels under the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act.

COPS

Conduct of Operations Provisions to ensure a consistent approach to

controlled, disciplined and safe operations within the envelope of applicable

environmental, safety and health regulations. This area encompasses all

aspects of site and facility operations.

CMAN

Configuration Management Provisions for the identification and

documentation of those structures, systems, components, and computer

software that will be managed; identification and documentation of the

technical baseline; control of changes to the baseline; and control of baseline

documents and databases.

CRIT

Criticality Provisions for planning and controlling the release of a self-

sustaining or divergent neutron chain reaction in both reactor and non-reactor

nuclear facilities. This area also includes the provisions necessary for the

prevention or termination of an inadvertent release and for protection against

injury or damage due to such a release.

EDCN

Engineering Design and Construction, Nuclear Provisions for the planning

and execution of engineering studies and designs for construction of nuclear

facilities and for the inspection of this construction for compliance with

contract documents. This area includes all projects ranging from minor

modifications to buildings, systems or components, to construction of a

completely new facility.

EDCO

Engineering Design and Construction, Other Same provisions as above

except as applied to non-nuclear applications.

EMER

Emergency Management Provisions needed to mitigate the consequences

of, and recover from an emergency (including unwanted operational, civil,

natural phenomena or security occurrences) which could endanger or

adversely affect people, property, or the environment.

ENER

Energy Conversion Provisions for the development, documentation and

implementation of plans to conserve energy through the use of noncritical

fuels and by maximizing the energy efficiency of energy conversion and

distribution systems, vehicles and equipment.

ENVP

Environmental Protection Provisions to ensure compliance with applicable

environmental laws and regulations, and provisions which further prevent,

reduce, or control to the extent practical, environmental damage by DOE

operations. This area also includes the requirements to protect environmental

media, biota, and cultural and natural resources.
