Natural Event Accident Initiators

DOE-STD -3009-94

1.5

NATURAL EVENT ACCIDENT INITIATORS

This section provides identification of specific natural events, such as design basis

earthquakes considered to be potential accident initiators. Summarize assumptions

supporting the analysis in Chapter 3, "Hazard and Accident Analyses."

1.6

M A N -M ADE EXTERNAL ACCIDENT INITIATORS

This section provides identification of specific man- made external events

associated with the site - events such as explosions from natural gas lines or

accidents from nearby transportation activities - considered to be potential accident

initiators, exclusive of sabotage and terrorism. Summarize assumptions supporting

the analysis in Chapter 3, "Hazard and Accident Analyses."

1.7

NEARBY FACILITIES

This section identifies any nearby facilities that could be affected by accidents

within the facility being evaluated. Conversely, this section also identifies any

hazardous operations or facilities onsite or offsite that could adversely impact the

facility under evaluation. Summarize assumptions supporting the analysis in

Chapter 3, "Hazard and Accident Analyses."

1.8

VALIDITY OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSES

This section assesses the validity of site characteristic assumptions for existing

environmental analyses and impact statements based on the more recent DSA

effort. Simp ly state that no significant discrepancies exist or indicate the need to

revise and update assumptions used in facility environmental statements through

brief discussions summarizing major discrepancies.
