enforceable mechanism. These requirements should be appropriately implemented in the facility, or

appropriate compensatory measures, formally approved, have been put in place during the period prior to

full implementation. The ORR team should provide their assessment as to whether or not this set of

requirements is adequate to maintain protection of the public health and safety, worker safety, and the

environment.

This conclusion shall be based on:

(1) Review of the program to document conformance with the agreed upon set of requirements,

including a process to address new requirements; and

(2) Extensive use of references to the established requirements in the ORR documentation.

Team members are asked to concur in the DOE ORR Final Report. Any dissenting opinions are

documented and attached to the report. The ORR Final Report is transmitted by the team leader to the

authorization authority as designated in the ORR plans-of-action. In most instances, the ORR Final

Report is forwarded in support of the Readiness to Proceed Memorandum.

The team also prepares a lessons learned report concerning the ORR and the ORR process. The lessons

learned may be part of the ORR Final Report but must be in a format to stand alone for use by other ORR

teams and team leaders. Through these lessons learned continuous improvement of the ORR process is

achieved.

5.5 Documentation of the ORR Results (Both Responsible Contractor and DOE). The validity of,

and the ability to defend, the results of an ORR depends in large part on the thoroughness with which the

process and the observations are documented. The record of the ORR must be clear as to what was

evaluated and the methodology used during the evaluation. The criteria in the Implementation Plan are

the "what." The record must clearly record the "how" that leads to the conclusions reached concerning

the particular criteria. The Implementation Plan specifies a standardized method to record the assessment

process for each criteria including what was inspected, what records were reviewed, who was

interviewed, and what procedures were observed. Form 1 (see Appendix 4) is a sample Assessment

Form which can be utilized to describe the steps in the criteria evaluation process.

During the ORR, it is expected that the team will identify individual deficient conditions. Frequently, the

deficient conditions, when evaluated in aggregate, reflect a programmatic or implementation weakness
