General considerations.

DOE-STD-3006-2000

5.9 ORR Process Deliverables. The ORR process deliverables are the ORR plans-of-action, the

ORR Implementation Plans, the ORR report, and the Readiness to Proceed Memorandum.

5.9.1 ORR Plan-of-Action.

5.9.1.1 General considerations. The responsible contractor and DOE each prepare an ORR plan-of-

action. The ORR plan-of-action is prepared by line management and describes the breadth and the

prerequisites of the ORR. The plan-of-action is the document in which line management describes what

will be evaluated by the ORR, based on the extent of the activities involved in the resumption or startup.

Through the process of the ORR plan-of-action, the proper authority within the Department of Energy

concurs with or approves the planning for the ORR process. The ORR process is then conducted in

accordance with the approved elements of the plan-of-action. Once approved, the ORR plans-of-action

are distributed to responsible or interested groups within and outside the DOE. Distribution outside of

DOE should be in accordance with Department procedures.

The ORR plans-of-action are forwarded via management to the designated authorization authority for the

particular restart or new start. A copy of the proposed plan-of-action is provided to EH for review and

comment in accordance with Section 5.3.2. The authorization authority approves the plans-of-action for

the contractor and DOE ORRs.

The amount of detail in each ORR plan-of-action varies with the complexity of the facility and the

situation. As a rule of thumb, the level of detail must be adequate to justify to a skeptical reviewer the

decisions being proposed. The detail must be adequate for preparers, reviewers, and the Team Leader to

defend the decisions being made.

The DOE ORR plan-of-action is prepared by the Area Office, Operations Office, or Headquarters line

management. The responsible contractor recommended ORR plan-of-action provides a starting point for

the DOE ORR plan-of-action.

5.9.1.2 Elements of the ORR Plan-of-Action. Each ORR plan-of-action contains the following

elements. Except where noted otherwise, the following elements apply to both the contractor and DOE

ORR plans-of-action. Where the information is identical, it is expected that the DOE plan-of-action will

be identical to the contractor document.
