PRE-TRANSFER REVIEW. Serves to provide the safety basis and physical and

administrative characteristics of the facility subsequent to the cessation of operations, and

prior to transferring the facility for the disposition phase. The objective of the review is

to identify and evaluate, using a graded approach, the explicit boundaries of the

facility(ies) being transferred; their physical condition; extent, nature and level of

contamination (as appropriate on a case-by-case basis); inventories/estimates of types and

quantities of special nuclear, fissionable, and toxic, hazardous, and radioactive materials;

summary and evaluation of the safety basis and surveillance and maintenance

requirements; and other elements to ensure that sufficient information is provided to

facilitate an understanding of the facility and its surveillance and maintenance

requirements. Documentation is generally expected to be provided from the analysis of

available information, without extensive, new, characterization work. [DOE G 433.1-1]

472.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. All those systematically planned and scheduled

actions performed for the purpose of preventing equipment, system, or facility failure.
