Area Code

Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Provisions

ERWM

associated with (1) remedial actions under the Comprehensive

Environmental Restoration, Compensation, and Liability Act, (2) corrective

actions under a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permit, (3)

remedial actions under the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of

1978, and (4) cleanup under the Toxic Substances Control Act. This area

also includes decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) activities for

operational and excess contaminated facilities, maintenance of facilities in

a safe and environmentally sound condition prior to and after restoration or

D&D activities, and management of DOE radioactive, mixed, infectious,

solid and hazardous waste and waste related activities.

Fire Protection Provisions to: (1) minimize the potential for occurrence a

FIRP

fire, (2) ensure that a fire does not cause an on-site or off-site release of

radiological and other hazardous material that will threaten the public

health and safety or the environment, (3) maintain an acceptable level of

life safety for workers in the event of a fire emergency, (4) minimize

potential for undue fire-related hazards to the public, (5) avoid delays or

impact to vital DOE programs as a result of fire and its effects, and, (6)

ensure the integrity of process control and safety systems from damage by

fire or related perils.

Human Factors Provisions which incorporate human characteristics into

HFAC

the design of systems, equipment, and facilities. This area includes design

criteria expressed as requirements and guidelines, as they apply to those

who will operate, control, maintain, supply or transport the material. It

encompasses environmental considerations such as limits for maximum

exposure, human performance, habitability, and vulnerability.

Human Resources Provisions for handling personnel activities

HRES

associated with employment, compensation, and benefits.

Information Technology Provisions to support those technologies,

INFT

including computing resources, telecommunications, and software, (except

for classifier procedures) associated with information management. This

area also includes activities associated with application portability,

graphical user interface, and document interchanges to support an open

systems environment.

Maintenance Provisions to maintain material conditions in a manner

MNTY

which supports safe and efficient operation. This area does not include the

requirements for performing specific activities, but does include the

identification of DOE and industry practices for the conduct of maintenance

activities.

Management Provisions to develop and maintain DOE programs, ensure

MGMT

adequate guidance and oversight for the implementation of these

programs, and maintain a commitment of resources to perform the

required program functions. Management systems establish programs that

are typically applicable to all organizations at the facility, site or activity.
