B. The extent to which a contractor has satisfied the requirements of Subpart B of 10

CFR Part 830; and

C. The basis for approval by DOE of the safety basis for the facility, including any

conditions for approval.

and detail of DOE review of a Safety Analysis Report (SAR) or equivalent analysis

report, the bases for approving the SAR (or equivalent), and any conditions of SAR (or

equivalent) approval. Approval signifies that DOE has accepted the analysis as

appropriately documenting the safety basis of a facility and as serving as the basis for

operational controls necessary to maintain an acceptable operating safety envelope. (See

SAFETY/IMPLEMENTATION GUIDES. DOE Safety and implementation guides, part

of the DOE directives system, are issued to provide supplemental information regarding

the Department's expectations on specific provisions of Orders and regulations and may

identify acceptable methods for implementing those provisions. Guides may identify

acceptable implementation of requirements by referencing Government or non-

Government standards. Safety and implementation guides are not substitutes for

regulations or Orders. Although these guides must be considered in establishing the

safety basis for a facility, reasonable opportunity must always be given to demonstrate

compliance by actions other than those set forth in the guide. If an action in a DOE guide

is included explicitly in a contract or a plan required by a contract or DOE regulation,

then an enforceable obligation may be created. [DOE N 1321.138] [EH62dd1]

physical barriers, generally passive, that are necessary for the intended facility function

and that are required to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactive materials.

SAFETY LIMIT (SL). A limit on process variables associated with those physical

barriers, generally passive, that are necessary for the intended facility function and which

are found to be required to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactive or other

hazardous materials. [DOE O 5480.22]
