APPENDIX A

FUNCTIONAL AREAS FOR DOE TECHNICAL STANDARDS

Functional

Description

Area Code

Alternate Fuels Provisions for the development, documentation, and

ALTF

implementation of plans to use fuels which have been determined to be

alternate fuels under the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act.

Conduct of Operations Provisions to ensure a consistent approach to

COPS

controlled, disciplined and safe operations within the envelope of

applicable environmental, safety and health regulations. This area

encompasses all aspects of site and facility operations.

Configuration Management Provisions for the identification and

CMAN

documentation of those structures, systems, components, and computer

software that will be managed; identification and documentation of the

technical baseline; control of changes to the baseline; and control of

baseline documents and databases.

Criticality Provisions for planning and controlling the release of a

CRIT

selfsustaining or divergent neutron chain reaction in both reactor and non-

reactor nuclear facilities. This area also includes the provisions necessary

for the prevention or termination of an inadvertent release and for

protection against injury or damage due to such a release.

Engineering Design and Construction, Nuclear Provisions for the

EDCN

planning and execution of engineering studies and designs for construction

of nuclear facilities and for the inspection of this construction for

compliance with contract documents. This area includes all projects

ranging from minor modifications to buildings, systems or components, to

construction of a completely new facility.

Engineering Design and Construction, Other Same provisions as above

EDCO

except as applied to non-nuclear applications.

Emergency Management Provisions needed to mitigate the

EMER

consequences of, and recover from an emergency (including unwanted

operational, civil, natural phenomena or security occurrences) which could

endanger or adversely affect people, property, or the environment.

Energy Conversion Provisions for the development, documentation and

ENER

implementation of plans to conserve energy through the use of noncritical

fuels and by maximizing the energy efficiency of energy conversion and

distribution systems, vehicles and equipment.

Environmental Protection Provisions to ensure compliance with

ENVP

applicable environmental laws and regulations, and provisions which

further prevent, reduce, or control to the extent practical, environmental

damage by DOE operations. This area also includes the requirements to

protect environmental media, biota, and cultural and natural resources.
