Document Review.

DOE-EM-STD-5505-96

The following question could be used to interview managers:

How do you train operators in Independent Verification?

When do you require Independent Verification be conducted?

How would you independently verify a throttle valve?

How do you ensure that an operator properly performs Independent Verification?

What systems require Independent Verification?

After completing an interview, the information gathered should be evaluated to determine if there

are any apparent deviations from activity requirements. These leads can normally be validated or

disproved by using one or more of the following:

Tours with several more operators

Tours of the activity and interviews with shift supervisors

Interviews with activity managers and operations supervisors

Reviews of operating and program procedures

Interviews with training and maintenance department personnel

6.10.5 Document Review. A list of documents to be reviewed during the assessment would

include:

Independent Verification program procedures

Operating logs and system lineup checksheets

Quality assurance plan

Assessors should first determine when and on what systems Independent Verification is required

by reviewing the appropriate administrative procedure, and then review activity logs to find events

that require Independent Verification. If documentation of Independent Verification is not

required, some other technique for checking that verification has been completed will have to be

used (i.e., interviews).
