2.1

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.

2.2

R EQUIREMENTS

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.

2.3

FACILITY OVERVIEW

This section includes a brief overview of the current and historical use of the

facility, projected future uses, facility configuration, and the basic processes

performed therein.

2.4

FACILITY S TRUCTURE

This section provides an overview of the basic facility buildings and structures,

including construction details such as bas ic floor plans, equipment layout,

construction materials, controlling dimensions, and dimensions significant to the

hazard and accident analysis activity. Supply information to support an overall

understanding of the facility structure and the general arr angement of the facility

as it pertains to hazard and accident analysis.

2.5

PROCESS D ESCRIPTION

This section describes the individual processes within the facility. Include details

on basic process parameters, including summary of types and quantities o f

hazardous materials, process equipment, instrumentation and control systems and

equipment, basic flow diagrams, and operational considerations associated with

individual processes or the entire facility, including major interfaces and

relationships between SSCs. The intent is to supply information to provide an

understanding of the assessment of normal operations, the safety analysis and its

conclusions, and insight into the types of operations for which a safety

management program must be devised.

2.6

CONFINEMENT S YSTEMS

This section identifies and describes the set of structures, systems, and

components that perform confinement functions such as process vessels, glove

boxes, ventilation systems, and facility walls.
