Estimated ORR Start Date and Duration

DOE-STD-3006-2000

5.9.1.2.4 ORR Prerequisites. Defining the prerequisite conditions to be met by the facility

management prior to the start of the ORR (appropriate for both the responsible contractor ORR as well as

the DOE ORR) is an important element of a successful ORR. The process the contractor uses to separate

gaining readiness through management actions and confirming readiness through the ORR process

should be reflected in the prerequisite requirements. The contractor ORR plan-of-action prerequisites

must address each core requirement of DOE O 425.1B. The DOE ORR plan-of-action prerequisites

should include readiness of DOE management and Operations Office programs and assigned personnel

who monitor facility operations. Adequate detail should be included to permit an understanding of

exactly which programs and personnel are considered essential to adequate oversight of the facility or

process for start or restart. The prerequisite section of both the contractor and DOE ORR plans-of-action

should refer to specific items such as a project management plan, a readiness self-assessment plan, a

compliance assessment program, safety documentation such as SAR, TSR, etc. or environmental

assessments or impact studies. The prerequisites should be described in terms of specific measurable

items.

5.9.1.2.5 Estimated ORR Start Date and Duration. The date is for planning purposes only and should

be the best estimate. Identification of a date is not to infer that the ORR start is schedule driven rather

than readiness driven. The DOE ORR estimated start dates, as well as the contractor ORR schedule,

should be provided for information in the Contractor ORR plan-of-action to assist DOE management in

planning for the DOE ORR.

5.9.1.2.6 Proposed ORR Team Leader. The individual must have the necessary independence with

the required experience and technical background consistent with the complexity of the facility and the

specific ORR. The individual must meet the criteria discussed in Section 5.1 for the responsible

contractor ORR and Section 5.4 for the DOE ORR.

5.9.1.2.7 Requirement for Senior Advisors. Senior advisors are recommended for DOE ORRs of

complex facilities. In many instances senior advisors may not be required, particularly if the Team

Leader has significant ORR experience. On other occasions, a single senior advisor to assist the Team

Leader may be appropriate or for particularly complex or controversial ORRs of high hazard facilities, as

many as three senior advisors may be advisable.
