DOE-STD -3009-94

CONTENT GUIDANCE FOR SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 12

12.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides an introduction to the contents of this chapter based on the

graded approach and includes objectives and scope specific to the chapter as

developed.

12.2 REQUIREMENTS

This section lists the design codes, standards, regulations, and DOE Orders that are

required for establishing the safety basis of the facility. The intent is to provide

only the requirements that are specific for this chapter and pertinent to the safety

analysis, and not a comprehensive listing of all industrial standards or codes or

criteria. SRIDs may be referenced as appropriate.

12.3 PROCEDURE PROGRAM

This section summarizes the facility procedures program, including brief

statements addressing the safety management policies and philosophies used as a

basis for the program. Reference facility documents detailing the program. Do

not list specific procedures.

12.3.1

Development of Procedures

This section summarizes how procedures are selected for development and

describes the processes by which the technical content of procedures is

developed, verified, and validated for normal, abnormal, and emergency

operations; and for surveillance testing and maintenance.

12.3.2

Maintenance of Procedures

This section summarizes provisions for documenting and controlling

procedures and providing the necessary training and coordination before the

introduction of new procedures, or the introduction of changes in the human-

machine interface covered by procedures.

Document control in this instance refers to the program that maintains the

latest revision of the procedures; captures and corrects errors; changes training

when procedures change; and, in general, maintains congruence between the

facility's actual condition, the procedures, and the training for the procedures.
