DOE-STD-1073-2003

Configuration Management

Open item. A validated situation involving: apparent contradictions from different source documents;

concerns; unanswered technical questions; or cases of missing, undocumented, or inaccurate information.

Physical Configuration. Physical configuration means the actual physical location, arrangement, and

material condition of structures, systems, and components within a facility.

Programmatic or Technical Issues. Programmatic or Technical Issues for configuration management are

those important issues that might need to be resolved, or partially resolved, in order to complete the

configuration management planning process.

Reactor. Reactor means any apparatus that is designed or used to sustain nuclear chain reactions in a

controlled manner such as research, test, and power reactors, and critical and pulsed assemblies and any

assembly that is designed to perform subcritical experiments that could potentially reach criticality; and,

unless modified by words such as containment, vessel, or core, refers to the entire facility, including the

housing, equipment and associated areas devoted to the operation and maintenance of one or more reactor

cores. (10 CFR Part 830)

Safety-class structures, systems, and components. Safety-class structures, systems, and components are the

structures, systems, or components, including portions of process systems, whose preventive or mitigative

functions are necessary to limit radioactive hazardous material exposure to the public, as determined from

safety analyses. (10 CFR Part 830)

Safety Design Requirements. Those design requirements that are necessary to protect off-site, on-site, and

facility personnel from nuclear hazards and other hazards, such as sulfuric acid and chlorine. Safety design

requirements include those necessary to satisfy DOE safety requirements.

Safety management program. The safety management program is a program designed to ensure a facility is

operated in a manner that adequately protects workers, the public, and the environment by covering topics

such as: quality assurance; maintenance of safety systems; personnel training; conduct of operations;

inadvertent criticality protection; emergency preparedness; fire protection; waste management; and

radiological protection of workers, the public, and the environment. (10 CFR Part 830)

Safety Management System (SMS). Safety management system means an integrated safety management

system established consistent with 48 CFR 970.5223-1. (10 CFR Part 830)

Safety-significant structures, systems and components. Safety-significant structures, systems, and

components are the structures, systems, and components that are not designated as safety class structures,

systems, and components, but whose preventive or mitigative functions are a major contributor to defense

in depth and/or worker safety as determined from safety analyses. (10 CFR Part 830)

Safety structures, systems, and components. Safety structures, systems, and components are both safety-

class structures, systems, and components and safety-significant structures, systems, and components.

(10 CFR Part 830)

Smart search. A process through which that set of documents that are most likely to contain design

requirements are identified, retrieved and evaluated. Key steps involve location of the source documents

most likely to contain design requirements, screening them for applicability, and reviewing them to extract

design information.

SSC grade. A measure of the importance of SSCs within the facility based on the most important design

requirements applicable to the SSC that can be used to determine priorities and proper levels of attention

and resource allocations. An example of SSC grades and associated priorities is: (1) safety, (2)

environmental, (3) mission, and (4) others.
