Guidelines for Startup Plan Development

DOE-STD-3006-2000

A. Identification of facility management observers necessary for initial operations oversight.

(1) List the management personnel assigned for initial operational evaluations of the graded

operations testing, including summary level duties, responsibilities, and shift staffing

requirements. (Specific duties and responsibilities should be listed in the remaining sections of

the plan). Include the specific duration of the initial operational evaluations. Include the specific

qualifications of each individual (resumes).

B. Equipment operability

(1) Identify and describe the integrated tests planned and required to confirm operability of

equipment during initial operations. Include the purpose and a summary of the acceptance criteria

of the tests.

(2) List management responsibilities for approval of test commencement and management

observer oversight of test performance. Include management approval requirements for key events

or progression to the next phase of testing.

(3) Provide a summary level schedule that clearly illustrates the systematic approach to full

operations.

C. Procedure viability

(1) Identify and describe the mechanism for verification of the viability of procedures during

actual performance, including requirements for management observer participation in the first time

execution of procedures.

(2) Summarize the process for procedure changes as a result of identification of inadequacies in

the field. Include any provisions for increased procedure revision support during periods of high

levels of first time execution of procedures.

D. Operator Performance

(1) Identify and describe the mechanism for real time in-plant management observer evaluation of

operator performance to verify the adequacy of operator training.

(2) Identify and describe the mechanism established for remediation of any identified weaknesses.
