Facility NPH Performance Categorization and Coordination Engineer

DOE-STD-1021-93

Step 3:

Organize SSC safety classification and accident analysis data from facility safety

analyses.

Step 4:

Determine preliminary performance category of NPH-related safety system

components.

Step 5:

Determine preliminary performance category of non-safety components.

Step 6:

Determine failure potential of the target due to interaction with the source (Section

2.5).

Step 7:

Apply interaction rules to modify preliminary performance categories (Section 2.5).

Step 8:

Prepare final NPH performance category list.

These steps are described in detail in the following subsections.

3.3

Facility NPH Performance Categorization and Coordination Engineer

A Facility NPH Performance Categorization and Coordination Engineer knowledgeable in the

operations and safety bases of the facility should be assigned to coordinate and direct the NPH

performance categorization activities. He/she will be responsible for coordinating the

development of a performance category list of all SSCs in the facility. It is desirable that the

Performance Categorization and Coordination Engineer possess the following qualifications:

(i)

Understanding of the mission, the basic function, and operation of the facility.

(ii) Familiarity with the layout of various SSCs comprising the facility.

(iii) Understanding of the functioning of the various SSCs, their NPH-related vulnerabilities,

and their interactions with each other, and knowledge of the accident analysis of the facility.

(iv) Understanding of "safety" SSC design requirements as given in DOE-STD-3009-94 (CHG-

1) and in Section 2.3. For all nuclear and hazardous facilities, safety SSCs shall be identified

from the facility safety analysis.

(v) Familiarity with the facility design, design evaluations, design reviews, and design

modifications.

(vi) Ability to interface with various design, engineering, safety, and operation groups of the

facility.
