Implementation and Surveillance Requirements

DOE-STD-3007-2007

V. IMPLEMENTATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS

A. IMPLEMENTATION

CSEs completed prior to this revision remain valid based on the requirements at the time of the evaluation

approval. For new processes, and during the next major revision to existing CSEs, conformance with this

standard should be established.

B. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS

Major changes to equipment and processes shall15 be subject to the change control process. That process

shall15 ensure that revisions to CSEs will be reflected in the appropriate document as part of the overall

change package.

All operations shall16 be reviewed frequently (at least annually) to ascertain that procedures are being

followed and that process conditions have not been altered so as to fall outside the scope of currently

approved CSEs. Individuals who are knowledgeable in criticality safety and who, to the extent

practicable, are not immediately responsible for the operation shall16 conduct these reviews, in

consultation with operating personnel.

As part of the annual operations review, a check should be conducted to see if revisions to the safety basis

documents are required. Any needed changes should be evaluated and addressed using the established

USQD/PISA/JCO process as appropriate.
