Safety Management Program Characteristics

DOE-STD-1104-96

The bases for deriving TSRs, that are identified and described in the

hazard and accident analyses and safety SSC chapters, are consistent

with the logic and assumptions presented in the analyses.

The bases for deriving safety limits, limiting control settings, limiting

conditions for operation, surveillance requirements, and administrative

controls are provided as appropriate.

The process for maintaining the TSRs current at all times and for

controlling their use is defined.

Safety Management Program Characteristics

Safety management program characteristics is the last of theDSA approval bases and

encompasses the elements of institutional programs and facility management that are

necessary to ensure safe operations based on assumptions made in the hazard and

accident analyses. While these elements must be addressed in the DSA, generic

descriptions of these institutional programs should not be duplicated in the DSA if they

can be referenced in Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) documents or site-

wide manuals. These institutional programs include (where applicable) quality

assurance, procedures, maintenance, personnel training, conduct of operations,

emergency preparedness, fire protection, waste management, radiation protection, and

criticality safety. Identification of safety management program characteristics is a product

of hazard and accident analyses, designation of safety SSCs, and derivation of TSRs.

Determining the adequacy of safety management program characteristics generally

entails being able to conclude that the DSA contains sufficient documentation and basis

to arrive at the following conclusions:

The major programs needed to provide programmatic safety

management are identified.

Basic provisions of identified programs are noted, and references to

facility or site program documentation are provided.

The acceptance of safety management program characteristics does not constitute

acceptance of the adequacy of program compliance with DOE directives. That can only

be accomplished by detailed compliance review of each of the programs, which is

beyond the scope of a DSA.
