ORR Final Report

DOE-STD-3006-95

5.1.9 ORR Final Report. An ORR Final Report shall be prepared. The Report should contain a

brief summary of the review activities, the conclusions reached, the basis for those conclusions, and

the findings identified. The ORR Final Report may also identify observations that would not impact

startup, restart or shutdown but, if corrected, could lead to excellence in operations. The ORR Final

Report shall make a conclusion as to whether startup or restart of the facility can proceed safely. In

addition, there shall be a statement in the ORR Final Report as to whether all identified non-

compliances or schedules for gaining compliance with applicable DOE Orders, directives, and

Standards/Requirements Identification Documents have been identified in writing; have been formally

approved; and, in the opinion of the Operational Readiness Review team maintain adequate protection

of the public health and safety, worker safety, or the environment.

The ORR Final Report should include a section describing the lessons learned during the ORR,

including a discussion of both the process and the technical issues identified. Section 5.8 of this

standard further discusses lessons learned.

The ORR Final Report should include a section that provides the ORR team members the opportunity

to discuss differing professional opinions, non-judgmental general comments, and observations. The

ORR Final Report is described in more detail in Section 5.9.3.

5.1.10 Contractor Declaration of Readiness to Proceed. Once the contractor ORR process has

been completed, the contractor should develop an action plan which provides the methodology and the

schedule for resolution of the findings from the ORR. Prior to forwarding the Readiness to Proceed

Memorandum to DOE, the prestart findings shall be resolved and the action plan, including schedule

of completion for the remaining findings, should be prepared. DOE will not begin the DOE ORR

until the contractor's Readiness to Proceed Memorandum has been received and accepted. Once the

DOE ORR process has been completed and all DOE findings and comments are satisfactorily

resolved, formal approval to start the facility will be granted in accordance with the requirements

approved in the ORR plan-of-action. The Readiness to Proceed Memorandum is described in more

detail in Section 5.9.4.
