System and Process Boundaries

DOESTD107393

The design requirements for new facilities and modifications to existing facilities should be

established, categorized, and documented as they are developed, in a form amenable to review

and addition to the equipment database.

1.3.2.2 System and Process Boundaries

The boundaries for each system and process should be established in such a manner as to contain the

components necessary to satisfy the design requirements for that system or process.

1.3.2.3 Assignment of SSC Grades

Each SSC should be assigned a grade based on the most important type of design requirements

applicable to it. The SSC grade should be used as the basis for the degree of control on all activities

associated with the SSC.

1.3.2.4 Specific Equipment List

On the basis of the equipment scope criteria and the assignment of SSC grades, the specific SSCs

included in the CM program should be identified.

1.3.2.5 Establishment of Design Basis

The basis for design requirements should be formally established, correlated with the design

requirements, documented, and maintained.

A technical management review should be performed to determine the adequacy of the design

basis. If the design basis is not fully documented, not accurate, or not complete, it should be

reconstituted to the extent identified by the design reconstitution adjunct program.

The design basis for new or modified design requirements should be established and documented

as these requirements are developed.

The objective of the document control element is to identify and maintain documents within the CM

program consistent with the physical configuration and design requirements.

1.3.3.1 Identification of Documents

The types of documents that need to be included in the CM program should be determined, and

document owners should be established for each of these document types. The document owners

should be responsible for the technical content of assigned documents. Within each document type,

the specific documents to be included in CM document control should be identified for each SSC. The

document owners should establish priorities for document revision and retrieval.

1.3.3.2 Storage

Originals or master copies of documents within the CM program should be stored and protected.

Retention times should be established to meet the needs of the document owners and users and the

minimums specified by DOE 1324.2A, Records Disposition.
