5.1 Roles and Requirements for Contractor Operational Readiness Review. Most responsible

contractors have developed procedures to manage the readiness process. This section is intended to

describe the recommended content and attributes of an ORR program and organization. It is

anticipated that most contractors will require only minimum modifications to their procedures to

achieve the intent of this standard and meet the requirements of DOE 0 425.1, Attachment 1,

"Contractor Requirements Document."

5.1.1 Summary of Contractor Operational Readiness Review (ORR) Process.

The contractor ORR shall focus on the readiness of all hardware, personnel, procedures, and

compliance with the applicable requirements.

a. The purpose of the contractor's ORR is to verify that nuclear facilities being started up or

restarted:

Are constructed in accordance with the approved design;

Can be operated safely;

Will be operated, maintained, and supported by trained and competent personnel;

Are designed and will be operated in conformance with applicable DOE Orders and

regulatory requirements;

Will be operated so that no undue risk to employees, the public, or the environment results;

and

All of the above items are properly and adequately documented.

b. The foundation for readiness of the nuclear facility is an approved safety basis as defined in

approved facility safety documentation, approved environmental documentation, a satisfactory safe

working environment, and compliance with DOE Orders and requirements. The ORR must verify

that necessary approved requirements documentation is in place and that procedures, personnel,

equipment, and systems support the approved requirements. It is not the responsibility of the ORR

to approve the foundation documentation -- only to verify that it is complete, approved, and

implemented as required by core requirements of DOE 0 425.1. Critical to a determination of

compliance with DOE Orders and requirements is the Order Compliance effort which encompasses
