tritium in such form and quantity that a nuclear hazard potentially exists to the employees

or the general public, or to manipulate the controls of equipment used to produce,

process, transfer, store, or package such materials at DOE nonreactor nuclear facilities.

Nuclear facility operators typically include, but are not limited to, fissionable material

handlers, tritium operators, chemical process operators, waste tank operators, and

enrichment plant operators. [8/25/95 Working Draft of 10 CFR 830]

NUCLEAR FACILITY SUPERVISOR. A person certified by contractor nuclear facility

management to manipulate, handle, or direct the manipulation or handling of fissionable

materials, radioactive materials, or tritium in such form and quantity that a nuclear hazard

potentially exists to the employees or the general public, or to manipulate or direct the

manipulation of the controls of equipment used to produce, process, transfer, store, or

package such materials at DOE nonreactor nuclear facilities. Nuclear facility supervisors

typically include, but are not limited to, fissionable material handler supervisors, tritium

operator supervisors, chemical process operator supervisors, waste tank operator

supervisors, and enrichment plant operator supervisors. [8/25/95 Working Draft of 10

CFR 830]

NUCLEAR OPERATION. Processing, storing, transferring, or handling of significant

quantities of fissionable material. [DOE O 5480.24]

395.

NUCLEAR SAFETY. Aspects of safety that encompass activities and systems that

present the potential for (1) uncontrolled releases of fission products or other radioactive

materials to the environment or (2) for inadvertent criticality. [DOE Glossary] [DOE G

450.4-1B]

NUCLEAR SAFETY AUTHORIZATION BASIS. See AUTHORIZATION BASIS

396.

(Add "nuclear" in front of the word "facility" in first sentence). [DOE O 5480.21 and

DOE O 5480.23]

NUCLEAR SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. Mandatory nuclear safety criteria such as

397.

those issued in DOE rules, Orders, and notices. Non-mandatory guidance or "good

practices" would not be considered to be a requirement. However, nuclear safety

standards, safety guides, or other guidance which are considered mandatory or minimal

acceptance practice when issued or are used as mandatory requirements for assessments

would be considered to be the same as requirements. [EH62dd1]

398.

NUCLEAR STATUTE. Any statute or provision of a statute that relates to a DOE

nuclear activity and for which DOE is responsible. [10 CFR 820.2]
