promptly restore operability, reliability and availability of facility structures, systems, and

components; or to prevent failures and reduce risk through types of maintenance action and

frequency selection to ensure high performance. Reliability centered maintenance is the

performance of scheduled maintenance for complex equipment, quantified by the relationship of

preventive maintenance to reliability and the benefits of reliability to safety and cost reduction

through the optimization of maintenance task/frequency intervals. The concept relies on

empirical maintenance task/frequency intervals to make determinations about real applicable

data suggesting an effective interval for task accomplishment. The approach taken to establish a

logical path for each functional failure is that each functional failure, failure effect, and failure

cause be processed through the logic so that a judgement can be made as to the necessity of the

task, and includes: (1) reporting preventive maintenance activities, plans and schedules; (2)

optimizing/calculating the preventive maintenance interval by balancing availability, reliability and

cost; (3) ranking preventive maintenance tasks; (4) accessing preventive maintenance

information from piping and instrument drawings (P&IDs); (5) accessing preventive maintenance

and other maintenance data; (6) listing recurring failure modes/parts, including failure to start and

failure to run; (7) calculating and monitoring structure, system, and component availability; (8)

accessing preventive maintenance procedures, and (9) keeping track of preventive maintenance

cost. [DOE G 433.1-1]

REMEDY. Any action necessary or appropriate to rectify, prevent, or penalize a violation of

the Act, a Nuclear Statute, or a DOE Nuclear Safety Requirements, including the assessment of

civil penalties, the requirement of specific actions, or the modification, suspension or recision of

a contract. [10 CFR 820.2]

526.

REPORTABLE OCCURRENCE. Events or conditions to be reported in accordance with the

criteria defined in this Order. [DOE O 5000.3B] [EH62dd1]

527.

REPORTABLE QUANTITY. Any Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation

and Liability Act hazardous substances, including radionuclides and Superfund Amendments

and reauthorization Act Title 3 extremely hazardous substances, with quantities established in 40

CFR Part 302 and Part 355 respectively, release of which requires notification unless Federally

permitted. [DOE M 232.1-1A]

528.

REPRESENTATIVE. As applied to the sampling of radioactive material, sampling in such a

manner that the sample closely approximates both the amount of activity and the physical and

chemical properties of the material (e.g., particle size and solubility in the case of air sampling of

the aerosol to which workers may be exposed). [Reference Unknown]
