Onsite Packaging and Transportation cont'd

DOE-STD-1128-98

Generally, an assessment is required for each onsite package containing Type B,

fissile, or highway route control quantities (HRCQ).

The packaging organization is responsible for coordinating onsite package design

and preparation of safety analysis documentation. The following information

describes typical process, review, and approval requirements for onsite safety

analysis documentation:

1. Initiation. New safety analysis documentation or reviews/changes to existing

documentation can be requested by a user organization based on programmatic

or operational requirements. The request is submitted in writing to the

packaging organization and includes proper justification and support

documentation. The packaging organization makes routine revisions as

necessary to reflect policy and regulation changes.

2. Preparation. The packaging organization coordinates the analysis, prepares

safety analysis documentation, and guides the documentation through the

review and approval process, including the resolution of review comments and

the obtaining of required approval.

3. Control. Safety analysis documentation is prepared and maintained according

to facility policy. The document control system provides an accessible,

auditable, and retrievable method for maintaining and changing safety analytic

documentation.

4. Review and Approval Cycle. Safety analysis documentation is reviewed,

approved, and changed according to facility policy. Additional reviews and

approvals include the following people and organizations:

User

cognizant engineer

packaging organization

quality assurance

responsible environmental assurance organization, onsite only

packaging, shipping, and waste safety assurance organization

criticality engineering analysis, if criticality analysis is required

packaging and shipping approval authority

DOE field office, if the package is to be used for HRCQ inter-area

shipments.

5. Approval for Editorial Changes. Inconsequential editorial changes to a safety

analysis document may be approved at the operating level.
