ORR Evaluation

DOE-STD-3006-2000

5. Introduction An introduction should provide information and background regarding the facility

being reviewed, the reason(s) for shutdown (if a restart), the purpose of the review/evaluation, and the

scope of the activity evaluation. Other information that should be provided include a brief discussion of:

a. The overall objectives of the evaluation;

b. The review process and methodologies used in the review;

c. The team composition; and

d. Definitions applicable to the review.

6. ORR Evaluation For each functional area, the report should discuss the core requirement and

provide conclusions as to the readiness of the functional area to safely support proposed operations.

Conclusions as to the readiness of hardware, personnel, procedures, and the management system that

controls each review area should be addressed, including key issues concerning the review area. The

evaluation should discuss the prestart and post-start findings associated with the review and provide a

conclusion as to the readiness of the facility to begin operation.

Any deviations from the Implementation Plan should be discussed, along with the reasons for the

deviation(s), and what alternative actions were taken to compensate, if required. As the evaluation

section provides the bases for the determination of readiness for each core requirement, it should discuss

not only the deficiencies found during the review, but should also discuss those positive aspects that

affected the determination. In addition, the ORR Final Report should also identify as "Observations"

those items that are not findings, but if addressed, would lead to excellence in operations. The detailed

documentation to support the conclusions may be included in an appendix which consists of the

individual check lists with the accompanying appraisal and issue forms. See Appendix 4 for additional

details.

7. Implementation of ISMS The core requirements, in aggregate, address many of the core functions

and guiding principles of Integrated Safety Management (ISM). The final report should include a

statement regarding the Team Leader's assessment of the adequacy of the implementation of those

functions and principles which were addressed by the ORR at the facility undergoing the review. This is

neither direction nor inference that any additional review be added to the ORR/RA process to address

ISM. Only to the extent that the ISM processes are visible in the established review should they be

evaluated and commented on.
