Safety Management Programs

DOE-STD-1104-96

be conducted to assure consistency. If active, safety-class SSCs will usually have a

safety limit and a limiting control setting associated with it, as well as a surveillance

requirement. An active Safety Significant SSC may have a limiting condition of operation

and surveillance requirement and/or specific provisions of a maintenance management

program associated with it. In any case, safety SSCs must be addressed specifically in

TSR provisions. Technical bases for limiting control settings and surveillance

requirements in the Bases appendix of the TSR should be reviewed for adequacy. All

these provisions are directed at assurance that the safety function of the SSC will be

protected.

3.2.3

Other Important Defense-In-Depth SSCs

DOE Standards define only Safety Class and Safety Significant SSCs, criteria for their

designation, and design requirements (in the case of new design). Provisions exist for

line management to designate additional important defense-in-depth items, independent

of safety analysis. If such items are designated, it should be confirmed that any

management direction relative to assurance of safety function is implemented through the

TSR.

3.2.4 Safety Management Programs

Hazards analyses may invoke particular aspects of safety management programs, such

as emergency preparedness, criticality safety, procedures and training, etc. Any

particular provisions of these programs unique to the facility should have been described

in the DSA. The administrative controls section of the TSR should include commitments

to implement those programs identified in the DSA as important to the facility's safety

basis.
