5.2.10 Conduct DOE ORR. The DOE ORR team conducts and prepares the report of the DOE ORR

in accordance with the Implementation Plan.

5.2.11 DOE Concurrence Process. When the DOE ORR is complete and all prestart findings are

closed, concur in the status of prestart findings and recommend to the appropriate decision official that

start of operations be authorized. In the cases when the Operations Office manager has been designated

as the authorization authority, he or she will authorize restart and inform the Secretarial Officer.

remains a line management responsibility. DOE line management verify adequacy of corrective action

plans for all findings from the DOE ORR.

5.2.13 DOE Informs the Contractor of Authorization to Start Operations. Inform the responsible

contractor when authorization to start operations has been granted by the authorization authority

designated in the ORR plan-of-action.
