Occurrence Report - s1063-970011

DOE-STD-1063-97

3.15 Occurrence Report. A documented evaluation of an event or condition that is

prepared in sufficient detail to enable the reader to assess its significance,

consequences, or implications and to evaluate the actions being proposed or

employed to correct the condition or to avoid recurrence.

3.16 Proficiency. The process by which a qualified Facility Representative stays current

on technical knowledge, assigned facilities, procedures, etc. Regaining proficiency

may be required after an absence from Facility Representative duties, a period of

inactivity at a given facility, as an ongoing training, or based on length of time

between the Facility Representative's full qualification and next requalification date.

3.17 Program Manager. (DOE Glossary) A Headquarters organization responsible for

executing program management functions, and for assisting and supporting field

elements in safety and health, administrative, management, and technical areas.

(The Program Manager holds signature authority to provide technical direction

through DOE field elements to contractors for these facilities. The Program Manager

is a member of the Line Organization.)

3.18 Qualification. The process of completing requirements determined to be vital to

performing the Facility Representative role in a given facility. This process will

include acknowledgment of the required education and experience, completion of the

core knowledge requirements to perform Facility Representative duties, facility-

specific requirements determined by the field element, and oral and written

examinations.

3.19 Qualifying Official. An individual, designated by the Field Element Manager, or

designee, authorized to sign the Qualification Card after verifying the candidate

possesses the appropriate level of knowledge or skills for such signature.

3.20 Reactor. (10CFR830.3) Reactor means, unless it is modified by words such as

containment, vessel, or core, the entire nuclear reactor facility, including the housing,

equipment, and associated areas devoted to the operation and maintenance of one

or more reactor cores. Any apparatus that is designed or used to sustain nuclear

chain reactions in a controlled manner, including critical and pulsed assemblies and

research, test, and power reactors, is defined as a reactor. All assemblies designed

to perform subcritical experiments that could potentially reach criticality are also to be

considered reactors. Critical assemblies are special nuclear devices designed and

used to sustain nuclear reactions. Critical assemblies may be subject to frequent

core and lattice configuration change and may be used frequently as mockups of

reactor configurations.

3.21 Risk. (DOE 5480.23) Risk means the quantitative or qualitative expression of

possible loss that considers both the probability that a hazard will cause harm and

the consequences of that event.
