Requirements in Department of Energy (DOE) Technical Standard DOE-STD-3009-94

DOE-STD-1183-2004

30. Nuclear safety specialists shall demonstrate a working level knowledge of the

requirements in Department of Energy (DOE) Technical Standard DOE-STD-3009-94,

Preparation Guide for U.S. Department of Energy Nonreactor Nuclear Facility Safety

Analysis Reports and DOE-STD-3010, Airborne Release Fractions/Rates and Respirable

Fractions for Nonreactor Nuclear Facilities.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

a. Discuss the conceptual basis and process for preparation of a facility/activity Documented

Safety Analysis.

b. Discuss the following in relation to the preparation of the Documented Safety Analysis:

Worker safety

Defense-in-depth

Programmatic Commitments

Technical safety requirements (TSRs)

Structures, systems, and components (SSCs)

Hazard analysis

Accident analysis

Application of the graded approach.

Safe harbor methods

c. Discuss the relationship between the safe harbor methods for a DSA in 10 CFR 830

Appendix A and the requirements for a DSA in 10 CFR 830.204 with regard to

d. Describe the objectives of requiring accident analyses in safety basis documents.

e. Identify and discuss the use of the source term five factor formula in accident analyses.

Given an accident scenario, determine a reasonably bounding estimate of the airborne

release fraction (ARF) and respirable fraction (RF), material at risk (MAR), leak path factor

(LPF) and damage ratio (DR) to determine the product (MAR x ARF x RF x DR x LPF).

g. Identify and discuss the methods, conventions and data sources used in developing

estimates of the five factors for use in accident analyses.

h. Identify and discuss methods/codes used to determine the environmental dispersion and

delivered doses from accidental releases of hazardous materials.

Discuss the effect of prevailing weather, building wake effects and plume buoyancy upon

the magnitude and distribution of doses from hazardous releases into the atmosphere.

Identify and discuss the treatment of uncertainty and the realistic effects in accident

analyses.

k. Identify the purpose and relationship between Chapters 3, 4 and 5 and the Technical

Safety Requirements of the Documented Safety Analysis.

Complete a review of a hazards analysis including walking down the scope of work area.

m. Complete a review of an accident analysis including walking down the accident scenario.
