ENSURE. As used in DOE M 411.1-1B, "to ensure" means that normal supervision is to

be employed to confirm to the ensuring organization's satisfaction that a condition is

being met or an activity is being properly conducted. The degree of rigor to be employed

by the ensuring organization should depend upon the history of supervision of the

performing organization.

ENTRANCE OR ACCESS POINT. Any location through which an individual could

193.

gain access to areas controlled for the purposes of radiation protection. This includes

entry or exit portals of sufficient size to permit human entry, irrespective of their

intended use. [10 CFR 835.2]

194.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS). The part of the overall

management system that includes organizational structure, planning activities,

responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes, and resources for developing,

integrating, achieving, reviewing, and maintaining environmental policy; a continuing

cycle of planning, implementing, evaluating, and improving processes and actions

undertaken to achieve environmental goals. [DOE G 450.1-1]

195.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE. Measurable results of the environmental

management system, related to an organization's control of its environmental aspects,

based on its environmental policy, objectives, and targets. (ISO-14001, 1996). [DOE G

450.1-1]

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION STANDARD. A specified set of rules or

196.

conditions concerned with delineation of procedures; definition of terms; specification of

performance, design, or operations; or measurements that define the quantity of

emissions, discharges, or releases to the environment and the quality of the environment.

197.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION. Used to ensure that safety-class structures,

systems, and components can perform all safety functions, as determined by the safety

analysis, with no failure mechanism that could lead to common cause failures under

postulated service conditions. The requirements from American National Standards

Institute/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (ANSI/IEEE) Standard 323 for

mild environments shall be used unless the environment in which the structure, system,

or component is located changes significantly as a result of the design basis accidents. In

general, qualification for mild environments should consist of two elements:
