integrity and accuracy required of upgraded Safety Analysis Reports (SARs) required by DOE 5480.23, Nuclear

Safety Analysis Reports), Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) (required by DOE 5480.22, Technical Safety

Requirements), maintenance procedures (required by DOE 4330.4A, Maintenance Management Program), and

operating procedures (required by DOE 5480.19, Conduct of Operations. The CM program also supports DOE

program implementation through the following:

It provides the mechanisms for identifying, cataloging, and maintaining the design

requirements and design basis (established to satisfy DOE 6430.lA, General Design Criteria).

It carries forward the technical baseline established in the design and construction phase (in

accordance with DOE 4700.1, Project Management System) into the operational phase and

implements configuration management in the operational phase (as referenced by DOE

4700.1). Thus, the CM program supports the activities necessary to achieve design control (as

required by DOE 5700.6C, Quality Assurance).

It provides the mechanisms to catalog design requirements and design basis related to the

SAR, so that this information can be used to support the evaluation of nonconformances and

proposed changes (as required by DOE 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports).

It identifies and retrieves design requirements information and physical configuration

information that supports operability determinations (as required by DOE 5480.22, Technical

Safety Requirements).

It validates the change control mechanisms that (1) identify and review changes to the design,

physical configuration, or facility documentation (as required by DOE 5700.6C, Quality

Assurance) and (2) ensure the relationships among design requirements, physical

configuration, and facility documentation.

It provides for the systematic identification and control of design and facility information that is

important to management and operation (as required by DOE 5480.19, Conduct of

Operations, and DOE 5700.6C, Quality Assurance).

It supports operations control of equipment and system status and equipment labeling (as

required by DOE 5480.19, Conduct of Operations).

Through the design reconstitution (DR) program, it provides effective methods for SAR

reconstitution and upgrading (as required by DOE 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports).

Through the material condition and aging management (MCA) program, it provides the

technical and engineering methodology for establishing certain preventive and predictive

maintenance activities (as required by DOE 4330.4A, Maintenance Management Program).

This methodology will assist in resolving current MCA issues such as those related to

trending, analyzing, and predicting corrosion-induced failures.

Thus, the CM program provides a necessary link with other DOE programs for maintaining consistency,

documenting results, facilitating information usage, and providing effective methods and mechanisms.

Major CM program interfaces with existing DOE programs are described in Appendix I-A.
