DOE-STD-3006-95
The responsible contractor must execute the initial, and in some cases the only Readiness Assessment.
Therefore, the responsible contractor's procedures should contain provisions and processes for RAs.
The procedures for RAs may be included in the Operations Office and responsible contractors startup
or restart procedures. They should, however, be separate from the requirements for ORRs, and should
be separate from procedures for Management Self Assessments incident to gaining readiness.
The following considerations are provided for use in development of the Operations Office procedures
for Readiness Assessments (RAs).
5.10.1 Principles of ORRs relevant to RAs. Several principles relevant to ORRs are equally
applicable to RAs:
(1) The RA is not a method to gain readiness to start or resume program work. It is however, a
verification that management has achieved readiness to resume operations prior to the actual restart.
(2) The RA should be conducted utilizing a formal procedure. By using the graded approach, the
procedure may be a simple checklist or a broad based assessment. In either case, the procedure should
be formal, approved, and executed by a designated individual or team.
(3) The results of the RA should be auditable and retained in the records of the facility with a record
that any findings during the RA were resolved.
(4) The scope (breadth and depth) of the RA must be a management decision utilizing the graded
approach. For example, a routine resumption of operations following a short outage in which few
and minor repairs and modifications were conducted could require little in addition to a preapproved
check list. In the other extreme, a Hazard class 3 facility restart following an extended outage may
require a contractor and DOE RA with a scope equivalent to an ORR of a Hazard Classification 2
facility following a similar outage. In both cases, a defensible management decision would be
required to approve the scope. The decision and basis in each case shall be documented in writing
and approved by the designated approval authority prior to commencement of the Readiness
Assessment. These decision documents will be included as part of the record of the restart.
