Overall Approach

DOE-STD-3006-95

4.0 ORR Prerequisites: The ORR Implementation Plan should summarize the prerequisites specified

in the approved plan-of-action. It is not the responsibility of the ORR team to develop the

prerequisites but they must understand them and be prepared to verify that the prerequisites have been

achieved at the start of the ORR.

5.0 Overall Approach: Defines the generic approach by which the review will be conducted, and

provides an introduction to the ORR process. The ORR Criteria and Review Approaches (CRAs) will

be defined by the processes described in this section. The definition of the criteria by which findings

will be classified as prestart and post-start should be defined here, as should the method for report

preparation, finding resolution and methods of closure.

6.0 ORR Preparations: Describes any preparations, including team pre-review site visits, document

reviews, etc., that will be undertaken prior to the on-site review. A discussion of qualifications and

training considerations for ORR team members could appear here.

7.0 ORR Process: Describes the actual Criteria and Review Approaches that will be used to review

the defined core requirements of the review. These CRAs should be developed in a format to include

the following items:

A. Core Requirement/Core Objective-Identification of the requirement which will be verified as

having been achieved by the readiness process;

B. Criteria - The specifics by which the core requirements/core objectives will be measured, which

may include regulatory requirements, etc.

C. Review Approach - a definition of what combination of review of documentation, interviews of

personnel, walkdown of systems, and observation of exercises and/or drills that will be conducted

to derive objective evidence by which the team will measure the defined criteria and assess the

readiness of the particular objective or sub-objective;

D. Basis - a discussion of why the particular review is needed;

E. References - those requirements or regulatory standards that apply to this core requirement and

safety documentation that contains the requirements associated with a particular core requirement.
