Criteria Review and Approach Documents (CRA(D)s):

DOE-STD-3006-95

Appendix 4

CRA(D)s are the documents used in the implementation plan to establish the depth of the ORR and provide

guidance to the ORR team members. As such, the quality of these documents will have a significant impact on

the overall quality of the ORR. CRA(D)s are the basis by which the core requirements of an ORR are

evaluated. (The core requirements of an ORR include the 20 minimum core requirements of the DOE 0 425.1

as well as any additional core requirements specific to the particular ORR). Each core requirement is evaluated

based on the criteria established. The criteria should be specific and as objective as possible, dependent on the

given situation. For ease of evaluation, the core requirements have been broken down further into core

objectives. The resulting core objectives are included in Appendix 2. Evaluation of all core objectives will

assure evaluation of all requirements specified in DOE 0 425.1. Experience has indicated that a core objective

is more appropriate as an objective for an individual CRAD.

The development of the CRA(D)s is the means through which the graded approach is applied to the scope of

the ORR. Those areas which are significant to the startup or were significant to the shutdown should be

assessed to a greater depth than other areas. For example, if in a maintenance shutdown, a system was modified

or a new system was added, the training, procedures, documentation, safety basis, etc., for that new system

should be reviewed exhaustively. Another system in that same facility that did not undergo modification would

receive a less comprehensive review. This review could be a sampling of the training and procedures associated

with the system. For example, 20 percent of the qualified operators of unmodified systems could be interviewed

to assess level of knowledge. Whereas the percentage could be between 80 and 100 for the modified or new

system. In a shutdown that was caused by a OSR/TSR violation due to a personnel error, the training and

qualification program for the facility should be assessed in detail while the implementation of the safety basis

itself would need a less comprehensive assessment. For a new, high hazard facility, the depth of the review

should be complete in all areas. For a restart of a low hazard facility, the review should be focused on the areas

significant to the startup or shutdown with the remaining core areas addressed to a lesser extent, via a less

extensive criteria.

Each CRAD should begin with a core requirement or some portion of the core requirement such as a core

objective, followed by the criteria. This will ensure that all core requirements are addressed by criteria

regardless of the approach used in developing the criteria. The specific criteria, which address the core

requirement or portion of a core requirement, should follow and should be related clearly to these

requirements, e.g., A.1 - core requirement 1, A.1.1 - First criteria addressing core requirement 1. Each

criterion then, is a description of the specific actions, reviews or observations, by which the inspector(s) will

make a judgement as to the readiness of the site/facility/process to operate in this specific area. The final
