Scope and Special Considerations for the Phase II ISMS Verification

DOE-HDBK-3027-99

Facility:

Special considerations for review :

XYZ 1 XYZ 1 continues to operate in accordance with an approved SAR. Satisfactory readiness

to conduct operations was verified by an ORR two years ago. Operations since startup

have been satisfactory.

The scope of the review should be limited to evaluating corrective actions for ORR

findings and the adequacy of the self-assessment program specified in ISMS.

XYZ 2 XYZ 2 continues to operate with an approved BIO. Operations at XYZ 2 were

independently evaluated within one year. Periodic EH assessments indicate weakness in

the radiological controls program. Several recent occurrences raise questions about the

adequacy of radiological controls.

The scope of the review should be limited to evaluating corrective actions for the EH

assessment, verifying the adequacy of the self-assessment program, and a reviewing

the radiological controls program within XYZ 2.

XYZ 3 XYZ 3 is in the final stage of construction. A SAR is being prepared. Readiness to

commence operations will be verified by an ORR in the next fiscal year. Construction

safety programs are in accordance with OSHA requirements and project management

programs are in accordance with DOE Order 4700.1, as specified in the ISMS.

Verifying satisfactory implementation of Construction Safety and project

management programs are within the scope of this review. The contractor's self

assessment program should also be evaluated to determine whether it is consistent

with the ISMS.

XYZ 4 All program work within XYZ 4 has been completed. The facility is scheduled for D&D

in two fiscal years. Some spaces within XYZ 4 are in use as office and storage space.

One vault is used to store low level mixed radiological waste in accordance with a site

RCRA Part B permit. A recent sitewide RCRA compliance inspection verified the

implementation of the RCRA permit was satisfactory. Due to the limited inventory of

material, XYZ 4 is a radiological facility. Previous facility representative reports indicate

that radiological controls may be deficient.

The scope of the review should be limited to the fire protection aspects of

housekeeping as well as adequacy of radiological controls within the storage areas.

The self assessment program established by the part time Facility Manager should also

be evaluated.

XYZ 5 XYZ 5 is a low hazard, non-nuclear facility with limited chemical hazards and is being

operated by a sub contractor. All work is controlled in accordance with OSHA

requirements. Your verification efforts should include a review of the responses to a

recent review by my OSHA compliance office and the implementation of ISMS by the sub

contractor.
