Formation of the Team.

DOE-STD-3006-2000

5.4 Organizing for and Conducting the Department of Energy ORR.

5.4.1 Purpose. To provide guidance on the actions to be taken to form a DOE ORR team,

develop the Implementation Plan, conduct and report the results of the review.

5.4.2 Formation of the Team. Each ORR is conducted by a multi-disciplined team of experts,

including individuals knowledgeable in public and worker safety and health, and environmental

protection. Team members are individually chosen by the ORR Team Leader to ensure that collectively

their backgrounds will include the important facets of operations to be reviewed. The experts are also

chosen to ensure the ORR team covers all functional areas/core requirements defined in the ORR plan-

of-action. The number of members is determined by the scope of the ORR and the size and complexity

of the facility.

Each team member must have the following qualifications verified by the Team Leader:

Technical knowledge of the area assigned to evaluate. The knowledge should include experience

working in the technical area.

Knowledge of evaluation processes and methods. This knowledge may be gained through experience

as an auditor or inspector or it may be gained through training evaluated as acceptable to the Team

Leader.

Facility specific information which may be gained through a combination of required reading and

facility tours and presentations.

Independence in that no team member may review his/her own work or work for which he/she was

responsible.

The Team Leader must ensure the ORR records contain the information to certify the qualification of

team members. This information would nominally be obtained through individual resumes, required

reading records, and training records. Appendix 4 includes an example form for use to consolidate the

required information.

5.4.3 Responsibilities.
