DOE ORR Plan-of-Action

DOE-STD-3006-2000

4.2.3 DOE ORR Plan-of-Action. Following receipt of the responsible contractor's plan-of-action,

the Operations Office management organization prepares the DOE ORR plan-of-action. The DOE ORR

plan-of-action includes in the breadth all areas appropriate to the responsible contractor plan-of-action

plus a thorough review of the DOE management organization for capability to oversee the facility

operations to be started. The DOE ORR plan-of-action includes prerequisites (Sections 4.5a and

5.9.1.2.4 provide details), team leader designation, breadth of the DOE ORR (Section 5.4 and

Appendices 1 and 2 provide additional details on determination of the breadth), estimated schedule and

duration, and additional information required by DOE O 425.1B. The DOE ORR plan-of-action is

formally transmitted via management to the appropriate authorization authority with a copy to EH-2 for

review and comment. Once approved, the DOE ORR plan-of-action is provided to appropriate oversight

organizations.

4.2.4 ORR Implementation Plan (DOE and responsible contractor). The approved plan-of-action is

provided to the designated ORR Team Leader. The Team Leader identifies the necessary team

membership to conduct the ORR. The Team Leader, with the assistance of the team, develops the

Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan is the plan for conduct of the ORR. It includes the

checklists, evaluation criteria, review methodology, qualification requirements for team members,

reporting expectations, etc., as necessary, to efficiently execute and report the results of the ORR.

Section 5.9.2 describes the Implementation Plan in more detail.

4.2.5 Achieving Readiness. The responsible contractor line management takes action to bring the

facility into a condition of readiness to start or resume operations. As a part of that activity, management

self-assessment (MSA) activities may be appropriate. The responsible contractor effort to achieve

readiness may be conducted in accordance with a project management plan, startup plan, or other project

management document. Similarly, DOE line management also achieves readiness to oversee contractor

operation. A management self assessment of DOE line management, including management programs to

oversee contractor operations, may be appropriate.

4.2.6 Responsible Contractor ORR. Once contractor line management has determined that readiness

has been achieved by meeting all of the prerequisites specified in the approved responsible contractor

ORR plan-of-action, the contractor ORR is conducted and reported in accordance with the responsible

contractor ORR Implementation Plan. When prestart findings from the contractor ORR have been
