Organization of the Standard

DOE-STD-3006-2000

prior to operations, operational readiness shall be verified. This standard may also be useful guidance to

line managers when specifying methods and approaches for startup or restart of radiological facilities or

non-nuclear facilities in accordance with requirements of DOE O 430.1A. DOE line managers are

encouraged to consider the procedures in this standard when developing requirements and procedures for

startup or restart of radiological or non-nuclear facilities.

1.3 Organization of the Standard. The standard is organized to be useful to both the managers who

need a summary and an overview of the ORR and RA processes, methods, decisions, and products as

well as the individuals who are responsible for the planning and conduct of the ORR or RA.

1.3.1 Scope. The section discusses the relationship of the Standard with the DOE O 425.1B which

specifies the requirements for ORRs and RAs.

1.3.2 Applicable Documents. The section lists several references directly applicable to the methods

and processes described in the standard.

1.3.3 Definitions. The section provides the meaning of the terms and statements used in the

standard. The description or discussion of the terms may be expanded to be specific to the intended

meaning in the standard. The usage in the standard is consistent with the usage in other DOE documents.

1.3.4 General Guidance. The section provides a sequential summary of the actions, responsibilities,

decisions, and documents associated with the ORR and RA process. The section is organized in the

sequence of the ORR process starting with the type of readiness review required, development of the

readiness review plans, achieving readiness, and conduct and reporting of the readiness reviews. The

section also contains general information helpful in gaining an understanding of the principles and the

expectations of the ORR or RA processes.

1.3.5 Detailed Guidance. The section provides the detailed processes and methods to plan and

conduct an ORR or an RA. The section is arranged by organizational responsibilities followed by a sub-

section which provide detailed descriptions of each document required as a part of the ORR or RA

process. Finally, sub-section 5.10 provides specific information about the RA requirements and

expectations while sub-section 5.11 describes the requirements and expectations for alternative

procedures which require an exemption from the requirements of DOE O 425.1B.
