Description of Facility.

DOE-STD-3006-95

The amount of detail in each ORR plan-of-action will vary with the complexity of the facility and the

situation. As a rule of thumb, the level of detail must be adequate to justify to a skeptical reviewer the

decisions being proposed. The detail must be adequate for preparers, reviewers, and the approver to

defend the decisions being made.

The DOE ORR plan-of-action is prepared by the Area Office, Operations Office, or Headquarters

facility management. The responsible contractor recommended ORR plan-of-action or approved

project startup plan will provide a starting point for the DOE ORR plan-of-action.

5.9.1.2 Elements of the ORR Plan-of-Action. Each ORR plan-of-action will contain the

following elements. Except where noted otherwise, the following elements apply to both the

contractor and DOE ORR plans-of-action. Where the information is identical, it is expected that the

DOE plan-of-action will be identical to the contractor document.

5.9.1.2.1 Name of the Facility Being Started. The name must be specific to what is to be

evaluated and started. For example, if a single process within a building is to be restarted, the facility

name would be the process name. On the other hand if the process encompasses several buildings and

an area, the name would be the encompassing process name.

5.9.1.2.1.1 Description of Facility. This includes buildings, systems, and processes included

within the startup authority. The description may be instrumental in defining the ORR scope. For

example, if most support functions and procedures are outside the boundary of the facility being

started up, the ORR scope would focus on interfaces with existing programs.

5.9.1.2.1.2 Identification of the Responsible Contractor. This is the contractor who will certify

readiness of the facility to operate. It is normally the contractor who submits the responsible

contractor ORR plan-of-action.

5.9.1.2.2 Designation of Action as a New Start or Restart. This is the identification as to whether

the facility is being started for the first time or being restarted. It is reasonable that a new process

within an existing building would be a new startup. Resumption of a process after an extended period

of no operation would most reasonably be a restart.
