DOE-STD-3006-95

4. Executive Summary - An executive summary is recommended. This summary is a one to three

page synopsis of the review, findings, and readiness determination. The executive summary should

introduce information, and direct the reader to those portions of the report that provide more detail

concerning the information. Some suggested points for the executive summary include:

a. A brief synopsis of the review activity, which provides information concerning the team's

evaluation of readiness;

b. The readiness of the activity to proceed;

c. The management system adequacy to oversee the operation;

d. A summary evaluation of the adequacy of the ORR preparation (and possibly the ORR

program); and

e. A synopsis of the significant problems, and significant strengths.

5. Introduction - An introduction should provide information and background regarding the facility

being reviewed, the reason(s) for shutdown (if a restart), the purpose of the review/evaluation, and

the scope of the activity evaluation. Other information that should be provided include a brief

discussion of:

a. The overall objectives of the evaluation;

b. The review process and methodologies used in the review;

c. The team composition; and

d. Definitions applicable to the review.

6. ORR Evaluation - For each core requirement, the report should discuss the core requirement and

provide conclusions as to the readiness for each major area. Conclusions as to the readiness of

hardware, personnel, procedures, and the management system that controls each review area should

be addressed, including key issues concerning the review area. The evaluation should discuss the

prestart and post-start findings associated with the review and provide a conclusion as to the

readiness of the facility to begin operation.

Any deviations from the Implementation Plan should be discussed, along with the reasons for the

deviation(s), and what alternative actions were taken to compensate, if required. As the evaluation

section provides the bases for the determination of readiness for each core requirement, it should
