Glossary cont'd - s1073pt10013

Document. Recorded information that describes, specifies, reports, certifies, requires, or provides data or

results. For the purposes of the CM program, this includes paper copies (procedures, manuals,

records, etc.),electronic media (such as word processor files and computer databases), and any

other source(s) of information used to design or operate the facility or make sound technical

decisions. It includes both current or working documents and historical records. See also "Facility

Documents" and "Design Documents."

Document Control. A process that identifies, stores and controls, tracks status (especially during

revisions), and retrieves documents.

Document Control Element. A CM program element that encompasses the following functions:

identifying the types of documents and specific documents to be included within the CM program,

storing these documents, controlling and tracking these documents and changes thereto, and

retrieving these documents in a timely manner.

Environmental Design Requirements. In the context of the CM program, those design requirements that

are necessary to protect the environment. and to satisfy environmental requirements and permits, as

well as other related DOE requirements.

Equipment Failure. A condition in which equipment can no longer perform its design requirements.

Failure may be random or the result of progressive aging degradation.

Facility Desired Lifetime. The period of time specific led by the DOE as necessary for the facility to remain

operational in order to carry out the mission of the facility. The desired lifetime could be shorter than,

approximately the same as, or longer than the remaining lifetime based upon current material

conditions.

Facility Documents. Those documents that support facility operations, such as-built configuration

information (such as drawings, valve lists, etc.), the facility procedures for activities (such as

operations, maintenance, and testing), and facility operational records (such as completed tests,

work requests, and radiation survey maps).

Facility Grade. A measure of the importance of the facility, among other DOE facilities, that can be used to

determine the appropriate level of effort and resources for the implementation.

Facility Operational Status. One of several operational modes, including: operating (actual operations

and shutdown periods for maintenance and/or refueling), stand-by, or preparing for restart. A facility

might be operational but in stand-by and maintaining the capability to restart at a future time yet to be

determined by DOE.

Facility Life Cycle Phases. The set of different phases in the life cycle of a facility, including: the design

phase, the construction phase, the operational phase, and the shutdown/decommissioning phase.

A major renovation or redesign phase is included in some cases when the DOE programmatic

mission for a facility may shift and significant facility changes might be involved.

Facility Remaining Lifetime. The remaining period during which the facility is expected to perform its

intended functions (i.e., continue to meet its design requirements) under specified service conditions,

based upon the current material conditions without applying life extension techniques.

Facility Type and Technical Characteristics. Those considerations related to the particular technical

nature of the facility and its design and operating characteristics. These include the facility process

and functions, operating conditions, and the nature of hazards involved.
