Operating Experience - doe-hdbk-1188-20060067

DOE-HDBK-1188-2006

facility that has been officially placed in a standby or shutdown condition, or in an environmental

remediation status, but in which personnel manipulate or handle fissionable materials, radioactive

materials, or tritium in such form and quantity that a nuclear hazard potentially exists to the

employees or the general public, or manipulate the controls of equipment used to produce,

process, transfer, or store such materials, is also considered operable. [DOE O 5480.20A]

417.

OPERATING EXPERIENCE. Verifiable service data for equipment. [DOE O 5480.EQ]

[EH62dd1]

418.

OPERATING LIMITS. Those limits required to ensure the safe operation of a nuclear facility,

including limiting control settings and limiting conditions for operation. [10 CFR 830.3]

419.

OPERATING ORGANIZATION. The assigned site personnel responsible for operation,

maintenance, and technical support services related to operations. This organization may

include offsite personnel who provide operational support. [DOE O 5480.20A][EH62dd1]

420.

OPERATIONAL DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT (DBA). Any DBA caused by an internal

event. Direct causes are usually poor design or procedures, operator errors, equipment failures,

or inadequate technical development (unknowns) that lead to the accident. The major accident

categories are explosion, fire, nuclear criticality, leaks to the atmosphere, and leaks to the

aquatic environment. [DOE O 6430.1A]

421.

OPERATIONAL EVALUATION. A documented evaluation of an individual's knowledge

and skills. The operational evaluation is a facility walk through that may include system and/or

component operation, or simulation of operations, during which the candidate is observed and

questioned regarding procedures, safety implications, and Technical Safety Requirements.

[DOE O 5480.20A]

422.

OPERATIONAL READINESS REVIEW/ASSESSMENT. A disciplined, systematic,

documented, performance-based examination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures,

and management control systems to ensure that a facility will be operated safely within its

approved safety envelope as defined by the facility safety basis. [Deleted from DOE Glossary]

[DOE G 450.4-1B]

423.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY CONTROLS. Safety limits, operating limits, surveillance

requirements, safety boundaries, and management and administrative controls that significantly

contribute to protecting workers, the public, and the environment from hazards other than

nuclear detonation, high-explosive detonation and deflagration, and fire (which are addressed by

Nuclear Explosive Safety Rules) for specific nuclear explosive operations and associated

activities. [DOE G 450.4-1B]
