LINE ORGANIZATION. That unbroken chain of command that extends from the Office of

the Secretary to Secretarial Offices that set program policy and plans and develop assigned

programs, to the field element organizations responsible for execution of these programs, to the

contractors that conduct the work. [DOE Glossary] [DOE G 450.4-1B]

337.

LISTED/APPROVED. Equipment or materials that have been tested, passed, and are included

in a current list published by a nationally recognized testing laboratory which is concerned with

product evaluation and is acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. The laboratory

maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials. Such lists state

either that the equipment or material meets appropriate standards or has been tested and found

suitable for use in a specified manner. This definition applies to products which are

Underwriter's Laboratories or Factory Mutual approved. [DOE-STD-1066-99]

338.

LOW-LEVEL RESIDUAL FIXED RADIOACTIVITY. The remaining radioactivity following

reasonable efforts to remove radioactive systems, components, and stored materials. The

remaining radioactivity is composed of surface contamination that is fixed following chemical

cleaning or some similar process; a component of surface contamination that can be picked up

by smears; or activated materials within structures. The radioactivity can be characterized as

low-level if the smearable radioactivity is less than the values defined for removable

contamination by 10 CFR Part 835, Appendix D, Surface Contamination Values, and the

hazard analysis results show that no credible accident scenario or work practices would release

the remaining fixed radioactivity or activation components at levels that would prudently require

the use of active safety systems, structures, or components to prevent or mitigate a release of

radioactive materials. [10 CFR 830.3]

339.

LOW-LEVEL WASTE. Low-level radioactive waste is radioactive waste that is not high-level

radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, transuranic waste, byproduct material (as defined in

section 11e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended), or naturally occurring

radioactive material. [Adapted from: Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended] [DOE

M 435.1-1 Chg 1]

340.

MAGAZINE. Any building or structure, except an operating building, used for the storage of

ammunition or explosives. A storage area containing magazines shall be located at not less than

an inhabited building separation from other areas, such as operational explosives buildings,

administration/office buildings, shop, and installation boundaries. [DOE O 6430.1A]

341.

MAGAZINE DISTANCE. The minimum distance permitted between any two storage

magazines. The distance required is determined by the type(s) of magazine and also the type

and quantity of explosives stored therein. [DOE M 440.1-1]
