DOE-STD-1073-2003

Configuration Management

2 APPLICABILITY

2.1

Scope of Applicability

This standard provides guidance and information to be used for the development and

implementation of configuration management processes at DOE nuclear facilities. It was

written specifically to apply to hazard category 1, 2, and 3 nuclear facilities as determined

by DOE STD 1027, Hazard Categorization and Accident Analysis Techniques for

Compliance with DOE 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports, especially with respect

to the references to safety bases and 10 CFR Part 830. However, many of the principles

and methods provided in this standard may also be useful to manage changes to non-

nuclear activities or to nuclear facilities whose inventory of nuclear materials is below the

threshold for hazard category 3 nuclear facilities (e.g., radiological facilities and non-

nuclear facilities).

This standard is applicable to DOE and DOE contractor personnel, including National

Nuclear Security Administration personnel and their contractor personnel.

2.2

Reference to Configuration Management in DOE Directives and

Standards

configuration control, or a configuration management program. Some specifically

reference this standard. References to configuration management or configuration

control can be found in the following DOE directives and standards:
