Integrated Safety Management System.

DOE-STD-3006-2000

DOE-STD-1027-92, Change Notice 1, and DOE-EM-STD-5502-94 contain additional information on

methods and criteria for determination of Hazard Categories.

3.17.2 Hazard Classes. Non-nuclear facilities are categorized as high, moderate, or low hazards

based on the following:

a. High - hazards with a potential for onsite and offsite impacts to large numbers of persons or for

major impacts to the environment;

b. Moderate - hazards which present considerable potential onsite impacts to people or the

environment, but at most only minor offsite impacts, and;

c. Low - hazards which present minor onsite and negligible offsite impacts to people and the

environment. Requirements of DOE O 430.1A may apply.

3.18 Integrated Safety Management System. A Safety Management System (SMS) that

systematically integrates safety into management and work practices at all levels as required by DOE P

450.4, Safety Management System Policy, and other related policies (DOE P 450.5 and DOE P 450.6).

3.19 Non-reactor Nuclear Facility. Those activities or operations that involve radioactive and/or

fissionable materials in such form and quantity that a nuclear hazard potentially exists to the employees

or the general public. Included are activities or operations that: (1) produce, process, or store radioactive

liquid or solid waste, fissionable materials, or tritium; (2) conduct separations operations; (3) conduct

irradiated materials inspection, fuel fabrication, decontamination, or recovery operations; (4) conduct

fuel enrichment operations; (5) perform environmental remediation or waste management activities

involving radioactive materials; (6) conduct nuclear explosives activities; or (7) perform nuclear

experimental activities. Incidental use and generation of radioactive materials in a facility operation

(e.g., check and calibration sources, use of radioactive sources in research and experimental and

analytical laboratory activities, electron microscopes, and X-ray machines) would not ordinarily require

the facility to be included in this definition. Accelerators and reactors and their operations are not

included. The application of any rule to a non-reactor nuclear facility shall be applied using a graded

approach.

3.20 Nuclear Facility. Nuclear facility means reactor and non-reactor nuclear facilities.
