412.

OPERABLE. The state of being operated or having the potential for being operated to

fulfill the mission it was designed for. A facility that cannot be operated on a day-to-day

basis because of refueling, extensive modifications, or technical problems is still

considered to be operable. A facility that has been officially placed in a standby or

shutdown condition, or in an environmental remediation status, but in which personnel

manipulate or handle 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 manipulate the controls of equipment used to produce, process, transfer, or

store such materials, is also considered operable. [DOE O 5480.20A]

413.

OPERATING EXPERIENCE. Verifiable service data for equipment. [DOE O 5480.EQ]

[EH62dd1]

414.

OPERATING LIMITS. Those limits required to ensure the safe operation of a nuclear

facility, including limiting control settings and limiting conditions for operation. [10

CFR 830.3]

OPERATING ORGANIZATION. The assigned site personnel responsible for operation,

415.

maintenance, and technical support services related to operations. This organization may

include offsite personnel who provide operational support. [DOE O

5480.20A][EH62dd1]

OPERATIONAL DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT (DBA). Any DBA caused by an internal

event. Direct causes are usually poor design or procedures, operator errors, equipment

failures, or inadequate technical development (unknowns) that lead to the accident. The

major accident categories are explosion, fire, nuclear criticality, leaks to the atmosphere,

and leaks to the aquatic environment. [DOE O 6430.1A]

OPERATIONAL EVALUATION. A documented evaluation of an individual's

417.

knowledge and skills. The operational evaluation is a facility walk through that may

include system and/or component operation, or simulation of operations, during which

the candidate is observed and questioned regarding procedures, safety implications, and

Technical Safety Requirements. [DOE O 5480.20A]

418.

OPERATIONAL READINESS REVIEW/ASSESSMENT. A disciplined, systematic,

documented, performance-based examination of facilities, equipment, personnel,
