Program Manager.

DOE-STD-3006-2000

Additional prerequisites may be established by line management. The prerequisites, when completed by

line management, should be expected to bring the activity/operation into a state of readiness.

3.28 Process. A series of actions that achieves an end or result.

3.29 Program Manager. The Headquarters individual, or designee, appointed by and under the

direction of a Secretarial Officer, who is directly involved in the operation of a facility under his or her

cognizance and who holds signature authority to provide technical direction through the field element to

DOE contractors for these facilities.

3.30 Program Work. Work in a reactor or non-reactor nuclear facility that is accomplished to further

the goals of the facility mission and/or the program for which the facility is operated. Program work is

not accomplished when a facility is shutdown. Program work does not include work that would be

required to maintain the facility in a safe shutdown condition, minimize radioactive material storage, or

accomplish modifications and correct deficiencies required before program work can recommence.

3.31 Reactor. Unless modified by words such as containment, vessel, or core, reactor means the

entire nuclear reactor facility, including the housing, equipment, and associated areas devoted to the

operation and maintenance of one or more reactor cores. Any apparatus that is designed or used to

sustain nuclear chain reactions in a controlled manner, including critical and pulsed assemblies, and

research, test, and power reactors, is defined as a reactor. All assemblies designed to perform subcritical

experiments that could potentially reach criticality are also to be considered reactors. Critical assemblies

are special nuclear devices designed and used to sustain nuclear reactions. Critical assemblies may be

subject to frequent core and lattice configuration change and may be used frequently as mockups of

reactor configurations.

3.32 Readiness Assessment. A review that is conducted to determine a facility's readiness to startup

or restart when an Operational Readiness Review is not required or when contractor's standard

procedures for startup are not judged by contractor or DOE management to provide an adequate

verification of readiness. The scope of the RA is defined on a case-by-case basis in accordance with

local contractor and DOE procedures.
