440.

PARTY. The Director and the respondent in an enforcement adjudication under 10 CFR 820.

[10 CFR 820.2]

441.

PARTY. An employee, contractor, or other party named in a proceeding under 10 CFR 708.

[10 CFR 708.2]

442.

PEAK POSITIVE INCIDENT PRESSURE. The almost instantaneous rise from the ambient

pressure caused by a blast wave's pressure disturbance. [DOE O 6430.1A]

443.

PERFORMANCE CATEGORY (PC). A classification using a graded approach in which

structures, systems, or components in a category are designed to assure similar levels of

protection (i.e., meet the same performance goal and damage consequences) during natural

phenomena hazard events. [DOE O 5480.28] [EH62dd1] [DOE G 420.1-2]

444.

PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION. Failure or degradation of a facility, process, system or

component that reduces the reliability of critical components of the facility whose loss or

degradation prevents the system from performing its intended function. Performance

degradation does not include: (1) A burned out power indicator light on a piece of radiation

monitoring equipment which does not prevent the equipment from detecting elevated radiation

levels and alarming as designed; (2) A piece of equipment that is determined to be out of

calibration on the conservative side (such as a low level alarm that alarms at a higher value than

it should); or (3) the temporary loss of a component where identical redundant components are

maintained in operation and the minimum authorization bases is not compromised. [DOE M

232.1-1]

445.

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR. Operational information indicative of the performance or

condition of a facility, group of facilities, or site. [DOE Glossary] [DOE G 450.4-1B]

446.

PERFORMANCE GOAL. The mean annual probability of exceedance of acceptable behavior

limits used as a target to develop natural phenomena hazard mitigation requirements. [DOE O

5480.28] [EH62dd1]

447.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING. Systematic monitoring and trending of the performance

of selected facility structures, systems, and components to measure and assess the impact of any

performance changes on overall facility efficiency, reliability, and availability. (See Continuous

Air Monitoring, Monitoring, Personal Monitoring, Personnel Monitoring, Post-Accident
