DOE-STD-3006-2000
C Differing professional opinions;
C Non-judgmental general comments;
C Observations;
C Dissenting opinions, which should be documented, and attached to the report.
While the team should strive to reach a consensus concerning all aspects of the review, DOE recognizes
that professional judgement does not always allow complete agreement. In cases of disagreement, the
Team Leader must make the final decision concerning the disposition of the finding or concern.
However, discussion of all aspects of the finding should be provided in the report to allow the

contractor before start of the contractor ORR. A formal declaration of readiness to start the contractor
ORR should be prepared by contractor line management only when readiness to start operations has been
achieved and ORR prerequisites specified in the plan-of-action have been met.
5.9.4.1 Timing of the Readiness to Proceed Memorandum. The Readiness to Proceed Memorandum
