DOE-HDBK-6004-99

Operations Turnover

A method for shift turnovers should be established so that oncoming operators are provided with an

accurate picture of the overall facility status.

Operations Aspects of Facility Chemistry and Unique Processes

Processes should be established for monitoring chemistry and unique process parameters to promote

maximum component life and reliable operations.

Required Reading

A required reading process should be established so that operations personnel are made aware of

important information that is related to job assignment.

Timely Orders to Operators

Plant management should establish a means to communicate short-term information and

administrative instructions to operations personnel in a timely manner.

Operations Procedures

Operations procedures should be established to provide appropriate direction to ensure that the

facility is operated within its design bases and should be effectively used to support safe operation

of the facility.

Operator Aid Postings

An operator aid process should be established to ensure that operator aids that are posted are current,

correct, and useful.

Equipment and Pipe Labeling

A well established and maintained equipment labeling process should be established to help ensure

that facility personnel are able to positively identify equipment they operate.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Purpose

To establish requirements for Emergency Management Programs for operational emergencies

involving fusion facilities. Fusion facilities should develop, using a graded approach, an emergency

management program consistent with the determined level of risk at the facility.

Supplemental Guidance
