1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This guide is intended to assist facility maintenance operations in the review of existing
and in developing new programs to ensure maintenance practices provide an administrative
method by which maintenance activities are identified, initiated, planned, approved, scheduled,
coordinated, performed, and reviewed for adequacy and completeness. It is expected that each
DOE facility may use different approaches or methods than those defined in this guide. The
specific guidelines that follow reflect generally accepted industry practices. Therefore,
deviation from any particular guideline would not, in itself, indicate a problem. If substantive
differences exist between the intent of the Guideline and actual practice, management should
evaluate current practice to determine the need to include/exclude proposed features. A
change to maintenance practice would be appropriate if a performance weakness was
determined to exist. Development, documentation, and implementation of other features which
further enhance these guidelines for specific applications, is encouraged.
Maintenance work is intended to ensure plant capacity by limiting forced downtime and
returning items to service through an effective and timely first effort, consistent with plant
goals. Additional information pertinent to the implementation of this guideline is found in the
following DOE Guidelines:

1.2 Background
The information in this guide was developed from commercial and DOE sources. Each
facility should select those details that are applicable, add any unlisted knowledge or
experience that are applicable, and develop and implement facility-specific maintenance
programs. Facilities that have existing documented maintenance programs should review this
guide to identify details that may enhance their existing programs.
1.3 Application
The content of this guide is generally applicable to all DOE nuclear facilities. Portions of
the programs outlined may not be applicable to all facilities because maintenance
organizations, disciplines, titles, and responsibilities may vary among DOE nuclear facilities.
Facility maintenance personnel may verify the adequacy or improve existing maintenance
programs by adapting this guide to their specific facility and individual maintenance
disciplines.

DOE-STD-1053-93
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Acronyms Used in this Standard. The acronyms used in this standard are defined as
follows:
a. ALARA - As Low As Reasonably Achievable
b. DOE - Department of Energy
c. MIG - Maintenance Importance Generator
d. MJR - Maintenance Job Request
e. SSC - Structures, Systems, and Components
2.2 ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable. A radiation protection philosophy
requiring that personnel exposure to radiation and radioactive material be kept not only
within regulatory limits, but be maintained as low as reasonably achievable in light of
current technology with appropriate consideration for economic and social factors, and
benefits derived.
2.3 Corrective Maintenance. Repair and restoration of SSC that have failed or are
malfunctioning and are not performing their intended function. As a rule of thumb, if
the specific component (such as packing or bearing) requiring maintenance has failed,
the action required to repair it should be classified as corrective maintenance.
2.4 Deficiency. Any condition that deviates from the design of a structure, system,
component, or equipment and results in a degraded ability to accomplish its intended
function.
2.5 Facility. Any equipment, structure, system, process, or activity that fulfills a specific
purpose. Examples include storage areas, fusion research devices, nuclear reactors,
production or processing plants, waste management disposal systems and burial
grounds, testing laboratories, research laboratories, transportation activities, weapons
development and production, standards and calibrations labs, and accommodations for
analytical examinations of irradiated and un-irradiated components.
Section 4
2.6 Maintenance. Day-to-day work that is required to maintain and preserve plant and
capital equipment in a condition suitable for its designated purpose and includes
preventive, predictive, and corrective (repair) maintenance.
3
DOE-STD-1053-93
2.7 Maintenance Importance Generator (MIG). A computerized system using
predetermined rules to compare data on an MJR and to establish relative-importance
ranking for each maintenance job.
2.8 Maintenance Job Request (MJR.) (Appendix D). Means of obtaining maintenance
services available on both paper and electronic mediums and initiated by maintenance
customers. Issued to Maintenance Planners and Estimators and used to define, plan,
and execute maintenance activities. Documentation of a deficient equipment condition,
requires detailed documentation of work performed, spare parts, procedures, or testing
to verify maintenance was performed correctly. The MJR. may also serve as
documentation for completion of minor maintenance activities such as lubrication, light
bulb replacement, etc.
2.9 Maintenance Management. The administration of a program utilizing such concepts
as organization, plans, procedures, schedules, cost control, periodic evaluation, and
feedback for the effective performance and control of maintenance with adequate
provisions for interface with other concerned disciplines such as health, safety,
environmental compliance, quality control, and security. All work done in conjunction
with existing property is either maintenance (preserving), repair (restoring), service
(cleaning and making usable), or improvements (modification). The work to be
considered under the DOE maintenance management program is only that for
maintenance, repair, and modification (temporary).
2.10 Outage. Condition existing whenever normal operations has stopped, due to planned
or unplanned occurrences.
2.11 Performance Test. A test of SSC to verify that required performance characteristics
may be achieved, to detect any abnormal performance characteristics, and to determine
the effect of maintenance and operating activities on equipment performance.
2.12 Performance Monitoring. Systematic monitoring and trending of the performance of
selected plant SSC to measure and assess the impact of any performance changes on
overall plant efficiency, reliability, and availability.
2.13 Periodic Maintenance. Preventive maintenance activities accomplished on a routine
basis (typically based on operating hours or calendar time) and may include any
combination of external inspections, alignments or calibrations, internal inspections,
overhauls, and SSC replacements.
4
DOE-STD-1053-93
2.14 Planned Maintenance. Preventive maintenance activities performed prior to SSC failure
and may be initiated by predictive or periodic maintenance results, by vendor
recommendations, or by experience/lessons learned. These include items such as
scheduled valve repacking, replacement of bearings as indicated from vibration
analysis, major or minor overhauls based on experience factors or vendor
recommendations and replacement of known life-span components. For example,
repacking a valve due to packing leakage would be corrective maintenance, but
scheduled repacking prior to leakage would be planned maintenance.
Section 5
2.15 Predictive Maintenance. Predictive maintenance activities involve continuous or
periodic monitoring and diagnosis in order to forecast component degradation so that
"as-needed" planned maintenance may be performed prior to SSC failure. Not all SSC
conditions and failure modes may be monitored; therefore, predictive maintenance
should be selectively applied. Reliable predictive maintenance is normally preferable
to periodic internal inspection or equipment overhauls.
2.16 Preventive Maintenance. Preventive maintenance includes periodic and planned
maintenance actions taken to maintain SSC within their design operating conditions,
extend its life, and is performed to prevent SSC failure. This includes technical safety
requirements surveillances, in-service inspections, and other regulatory forms of
preventive maintenance.
2.17 Root Cause. A determination based on an analytical technic that determines the
fundamental cause of failure.
2.18 Structures, Systems and Components (SSC). Physical items designed, built, or installed
to support the operation of the plant.
2.19 Technical Support. The engineering, design, specialized inspections, planning, or other
such support of capital asset maintenance and repair.
2.20 Work Control Document. Proceduralized document used by facility personnel to
perform inspections, testing or work.

3. PLANT MAINTENANCE
3.1 Discussion
3.1.1 The objectives of a plant maintenance program should be to improve plant safety and
reliability by preventing equipment breakdown and to maintain the equipment in a
satisfactory condition for normal operation and/or emergency use. Various
maintenance techniques may be included in a plant maintenance program. It is
necessary that the program be well-defined and periodically adjusted to ensure that
equipment reliability is maintained.
3.1.2 A maintenance program has the following key elements:
• Management commitment is essential for the success of a maintenance program
• Clearly defined responsibilities
• Dedicated personnel, technically competent in maintenance techniques
• Equipment important to the safe and reliable operation of the plant directed by
historical data is included in the scope
• Maintenance techniques selected, are appropriate for the type of plant equipment
• Carefully analyzed and trended data
• Tasks scheduled on a routine basis and performed as appropriate
• Periodically evaluated and, if necessary, upgraded programs
3.1.3 A system of controlling maintenance work activities should be clearly defined based
upon the Maintenance Operations Model (Appendix A), which consists of five
interrelated processes applicable to each maintenance job. The processes are as
follows:
• Plan Maintenance Job. Identify the scope of a needed maintenance job. Produce
a maintenance job plan. Determine maintenance job planning category, priority,
and safety concerns. Identify and procure materials, and identify other
maintenance task resources. Prepare the maintenance job package.
6
DOE-STD-1053-93
• Schedule Maintenance Job. Calculate estimated start date and project resources
for the maintenance job. Schedule and commit required resources and special
tools/equipment items to allow performance of all maintenance tasks within the
maintenance job.
• Execute Maintenance Job. Initiate and perform a maintenance job and collect job
information as defined in the maintenance job package.
Section 6
• Execute Postmaintenance Test. Verify facilities and equipment items fulfill their
design functions when returned to service after execution of a maintenance job.
• Complete Maintenance Job. Perform maintenance job closeout to include
completion of all documentation contained in the maintenance job package to
ensure historical information is captured.
3.1.4 Appendix B (Facility Management) illustrates a comprehensive "Work Control
Program" based on the requirements of DOE Order 4330.4A, Maintenance
Management Program. The implementation of this program should ensure that the
maintenance activities in nuclear facilities are conducted in a manner that preserves and
restores the availability and operability of the SSC important to safe and reliable plant
operation.
3.2 Scope
This document addresses the elements considered essential for maintenance managers and
direct line supervisors to ensure maintenance practices result in personnel safety, resource
effectiveness, SSC protection, and safe and reliable operations capacity through direct
observation, documentation review, and post-activity analysis.

3.4 Guidelines
3.4.1 Equipment
Equipment should be selected for special attention under this program based on the
criteria below. The selection of certain equipment for special attention under this
program does not imply that other equipment is to be ignored; normal care and
application of sound technical and management controls are needed for all equipment,
as well as for all activities associated with the equipment.
3.4.1.1 Equipment with a record of frequent operational failures that either have
caused or have significant potential for causing loss of capacity (Failure
information considered should include in-house records as well as information
available from other facilities by vendor technical information.
3.4.1.2 Equipment whose failure to operate as designed would likely cause significant
loss of capacity because of its importance to the facility.
3.4.1.3 Equipment with a record of frequent maintenance or rework that has caused
inordinate use of maintenance resources or that has caused significant loss of
capacity or actuation of nuclear safety systems.
3.4.1.4 Equipment that maintains environmental conditions for important operating
components
3.4.2 Work Control Document
Maintenance conducted on equipment under this program should be planned, controlled
by written instructions or procedures, and documented using a facility maintenance job
request or another approved work control document. In emergencies, when written
instructions or procedures cannot be provided, work should be performed using
appropriate technical guidance and directly supervised by experienced personnel. The
actual work performed should be documented for maintenance history either during or
immediately after completion of the work.
3.4.2.1 A computer-based Maintenance Job Request (MJR) or other work control
document should include the basic capacity for the following:
a) Authorize Work
b) Track job status
10
DOE-STD-1053-93
c) Collect history information/data
d) Collect cost information
e) Management reporting
3.4.2.2 All maintenance activities shall be properly authorized and controlled. The
work control document should be prepared for all work consistent with the
level of detail fitting the risk/complexity/importance of the tasks involved.
The document should clearly define the work to be performed and should
address the following items:
a) Equipment identification
b) Name of the person initiating the job request
c) Date job request initiated
d) Description of the symptom, problem, or work requested
e) Job priority (based upon an approved work priority system
f) Personnel safety and radiation protection requirements or permits (such
as, confined space entry, welding and burning permit, lockout-tagout,
isolation, draining, depressurization of the component, and radiation work
permit) in accordance with applicable plant policies and procedures.
Section 8
g) Applicable Technical Safety Requirements, time restraints, and associated
Limiting Conditions for Operations
h) Identification of qualification requirements such as environmental and
seismic qualifications
i) Applicable work instructions and references, (including hold points for
data/measurement, and inspection/checks)
j) Inspection, safety, or ALARA hold points associated with the work
k) Required postmaintenance testing, inspections, and acceptance criteria
11
DOE-STD-1053-93
l) Authorization by the appropriate owner/operator and maintenance
supervisor to commence work
m) Narrative description of conditions found and adjustments made by the
craftspersons
n) Documentation of actual work performed with postmaintenance testing
and inspection results
o) Acceptance of the equipment by owner/operator
p) Cost accounting information
q) Final reviews and sign-offs by maintenance, quality control, and other
groups in the job request review cycle
3.4.2.3 Planning for work under this program should normally include selection or
preparation of authorized maintenance procedures (or written instructions) and
references, preparation of clearance requests and tagouts, and selection and
assembly of expected repair parts and materials (see "Guidelines to Good
Practices for Planning, Scheduling, and Coordination of Maintenance
A ctivities at DOE Nuclear Facilities. " Maintenance procedures (or written
instructions) should be prepared with a level of detail appropriate to the
complexity of the work to be performed and the skill level of the workers
(see 'W riter's Guide for Technical Procedures"). The procedures should
include appropriate work inspection points based on the probability and
consequences of an error, accident, or oversight during performance of the
work. Factors that should be considered when selecting inspection points
include the complexity of the work, the experience of the workers, previous
results with similar work, the detail provided in work instructions, and the
importance of the work to reliable system or component operation. For
example, inspection points should be used to verify results such as the
following:
a) "As-found" data useful for root cause failure analysis is recorded.
b) Critical dimensions and tolerances are met.
c) Correct repair parts and materials are used.
d) Special processes (such as welding) achieve desired results.
12
DOE-STD-1053-93
e) Fasteners and locking devices are properly installed; proper torque values
are determined and used where appropriate.
f) Internal conditions are acceptable before closeout of large
equipment/components.
g) Postmaintenance tests are completed satisfactorily (see "Guidelines to
Good Practices for Postmaintenance Testing at DOE Nuclear Facilities").
3.4.2.4 Planners and engineers should exercise sound judgment and a good
understanding of plant management practices to select work controls that
contribute to work quality without unnecessarily restricting workers. The
following guidance applies:
a) Prior to release for work, maintenance work packages should be
reviewed by a qualified maintenance engineer. The maintenance
engineer should ensure that work instructions are clear and correct;
appropriate work controls, inspection points, and performance tests have
been specified; proper materials are available; and the work is ready to
proceed.
Section 9
b) Preventive maintenance conducted on equipment under this program
should be performed in accordance with "Guidelines to Good Practices
for Types of Maintenance at DOE Nuclear Facilities" and approved plant
procedures, and should include all manufacturer or vendor recommended
maintenance unless otherwise authorized by the maintenance manager.
Preventive maintenance intervals should be adjusted as needed, based on
maintenance history, to minimize failures of operating equipment.
c) Measuring and test equipment used in this program should be controlled
and calibrated as required by "Guidelines to Good Practices for Control
and Calibration of Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE) at DOE
Nuclear Facilities.
13
DOE-STD-1053-93
d) Descriptive information and data on completed work should be entered
in the maintenance history (see "Guidelines to Good Practices for
Maintenance History at DOE Nuclear Facilities"). History information
should be reviewed and modified as necessary by a maintenance
engineer, before filing, to ensure the information is accurate, complete,
and understandable. Maintenance history information should normally
be retained for the life of the associated equipment.
3.4.3 Supervision of Maintenance Activities
Maintenance supervision should routinely monitor work in progress to help ensure that
maintenance activities are conducted in accordance with DOE and facility policies and
procedures. Good work practices should be recognized and encouraged; poor work
practices should be corrected on the spot. Causes of poor work practices should be
identified and corrected, and generic corrective activities should be initiated as needed.
Examples of work practices that should be reviewed and verified include the following:
a) Safety is the first priority for all work, ensure unsafe conditions and deficiencies
are clearly identified
b) Industrial safety and radiological protection practices such as appropriate use of
safety equipment, proper handling of hazardous chemicals, proper use of ALARA
concepts, minimizing spread of contamination
c) Exposure of personnel to hazardous materials and conditions is minimized
d) The potential for the spread of radioactive or other hazardous materials is
minimized through proper containment and handling
e) Proper use of pre-job briefings and applicable training
f) Quality of workmanship, material, and parts
g) Work being performed on the correct SSC
h) Applicable authorizations, procedures, documents, permits are available at the job
site
i) Individuals performing work or responsible for work are adequately trained and
have a clear understanding of work scope and the effect of the work being
performed
14
DOE-STD-1053-93
j) The purpose and importance of plant SSC
k) General facility layout (including emergency egress routes and assembly locations)
l) Maintenance activities are under the control of the applicable owner-operator
m) Maintenance personnel exhibit an attitude of first-effort quality workmanship
n) The concept of ALARA includes "value-added" considerations when planning
work to minimize potential exposure
o) Maintenance personnel are:
1) Attentive to identifying deficiencies and off-normal conditions and bringing
them to the attention of applicable managers
2) Responsive to priority correction of deficiencies and off-normal conditions
when approved by applicable managers
p) Environmental protection/regulations
q) Proper handling and storage of hazardous materials and waste minimization

3.4.4 Inspection
Work inspections required by operating and maintenance procedures should normally
be accomplished by persons who are qualified to perform the work to be inspected, but
not by the persons assigned to perform the work. For example, work supervisors
routinely may perform required inspections of maintenance activities.
3.4.4.1 Personnel who perform material receipt inspections should be trained and
qualified for this work. Except for non-destructive examination (NDE), use
of certified inspectors should not be necessary. NDE should be performed
as specified in applicable codes, standards, and plant or vendor procedures
by persons trained and certified in the specific technique.
16
DOE-STD-1053-93
3.4.5 Qualification and Training
Personnel assigned to perform activities covered by this program should be qualified
in accordance with "Guidelines to Good Practice for Training and Qualif ication of
Maintenance Personnel" and appropriate plant procedures to perform their assigned
functions or should work under direct supervision of persons who are so qualified.
3.4. 5.1 Cognizant department managers should approve associated training programs
and qualification requirements and should ensure that personnel are qualified
before being assigned to work without direct supervision.
3.4. 5.2 Training programs should be developed, training resources should be
provided, and training records should be maintained to support plant
personnel qualification requirements.
3.4.6 Control of Non-facility Contractor and Sub-Contractor Personnel
Section 11
Non-facility contractors (personnel not directly employed by the facility operating
contractor) and sub-contractor personnel who perform maintenance or modifications on
facility systems should be trained and qualified for the work they are to perform.
These personnel should also receive general employee training and specific training in
appropriate facility administration, safety, quality control, and radiation protection
procedures and practices. Adequate time should be provided for this training.
Recognition should be given to individual needs and previous training and experience.
Experienced personnel may be allowed to bypass training by proving proficiency
through examination and demonstration. Non-facility contractor and sub-contractor
personnel who are not fully trained and qualified for the job to be performed should
be continually supervised by qualified personnel.
3.4.6.1 Non-facility contractor and sub-contractor personnel should perform
maintenance under the same controls as, and to the same high work
standards expected of, facility maintenance personnel. Non-facility
contractor and sub-contractor managers and supervisors should be held
accountable for the work performance of their personnel. Facility
supervisors should review the work of these personnel during preparation for
work, at the job site, and during postmaintenance testing and acceptance
inspections to the extent needed to enforce these requirements.
3.4.6.2 Use of subcontractor personnel to perform routine facility maintenance
should not be relied upon to the extent that it deters the development of
permanent staff expertise.
17
DOE-STD-1053-93
3.4.7 Modification Control
Modifications to equipment and structures covered by this program should be approved
and controlled in accordance with "Guidelines to Good Practices for Modification
W ork at DOE Nuclear Facilities" and the plant modification program.
3.4.8 Procurement
Procurement documents for material, parts, or services for equipment covered by this
program should specify the desired attributes of products and services in sufficient
detail to ensure that equipment reliability is not inadvertently degraded. Purchase
specifications should be in accordance with "Guidelines to Good Practices for
Procurement of Parts, Materials, and Services at DOE Nuclear Facilities."
3.4.9 Material Control
Receipt inspections should be performed to ensure that material meets purchase
specifications before release for use in the plant or as spare stock. Material that fails
to meet purchase specifications may be released for use only when authorized by the
cognizant maintenance or design engineer. This authorization should only be given
when the deviation does not have a significant degrading effect on equipment
performance. Material, parts, and components should be identified and controlled in
accordance with "Guidelines to Good Practices for Material Receipt, Inspection,
Handling, Storage, Retrieval, and Issuance at DOE Nuclear Facilities" and approved
plant material handling and storage procedures. Acceptance, hold, or reject tags should
be used to show the status of items that have been receipt inspected. The storage
environment and the age of stored materials should be controlled in accordance with
DOE Guidelines, approved plant procedures, and manufacturer's recommendations.
3.4.10 Document Control and Records
Section 12
Instructions, procedures, drawings, and vendor technical manuals for equipment in this
program should be controlled in accordance with approved plant document control
procedures to ensure that they remain current.
3.4.10.1 Satellite files or other suitable means should be established to ensure that
reference materials are readily available at major work centers in the plant.
3.4.10.2 Personnel should report inaccurate procedures and drawings in accordance
with approved plant administrative procedures, proposing an appropriate
correction whenever possible.
18
DOE-STD-1053-93
3.4.10.3 Records resulting from operation, maintenance, and testing of equipment in
this program should be maintained by the cognizant departments until they
are forwarded to the document control center for storage.
3.4.10.4 Records should be retained in secure, retrievable storage for the life of the
associated equipment.
3.4.11 Equipment Analysis
The maintenance engineers, with assistance from other technical personnel as
necessary, should perform detailed failure analyses for equipment failures that either
cause or have a significant potential for causing a loss of capacity, whether or not the
equipment has been selected for special attention covered under this program (see DOE
Guideline DOE-NE-STD-1004-92 "Root Cause A nalysis Guidance Document').
Analyses should also be performed for repetitive minor failures that have a potential
to cause lost capacity or require excessive use of maintenance resources. The purpose
of the failure analysis is to identify the basic and contributing causes of the failure and
to develop corrective recommendations. Failure analyses should delve, as necessary,
into all functional areas that might have contributed to the failure. Results of failure
analyses and intended corrective actions should be reported in writing to the plant
manager, cognizant owner/operators, and department managers. Possible addition of
equipment or activities for coverage under this program should be considered in the
development of corrective action. Corrective actions resulting from the analyses should
be tracked to completion.
3.4.11.1 For equipment performance deviating significantly from normal, pre-failure
analysis should be performed. This should attempt to determine the cause(s)
for deteriorating performance and whether the equipment should be repaired
or replaced to preclude further degradation of performance.
3.4.12 Periodic Assessments
Periodic assessments should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the program
and to identify opportunities for improvement.
3.4.12.1 Periodic assessments should be conducted under the direction of the
maintenance division manager. They should be performed by persons
selected by the maintenance division manager, who are knowledgeable in
plant operation, maintenance, design, or management, but not involved in
this program on a day-to-day basis.
19
DOE-STD-1053-93
3.4.12.2 The periodic assessments should evaluate all aspects of the program
(including support activities) to assess the overall program effectiveness.
Recommendations should be developed to correct noted weaknesses and to
make needed improvements.
3.4.12.3 Periodic assessment should be performed at regular intervals.
3.4.13 Performance Monitoring
In addition to regular monitoring by operators, equipment performance should be
regularly evaluated by performance tests and analysis of operating and maintenance
data.
Section 13
3.4.13.1 The performance test program should be structured so that tests are
performed often enough to detect and correct degrading equipment
performance before failures result in capacity reductions or forced outages.
Performance tests should also be used to evaluate equipment performance
after maintenance work as part of postmaintenance testing. These tests
should be based upon manufacturer's recommendations and operational
experience with specific equipment both at the plant and elsewhere in the
industry. These tests should be performed by qualified personnel in
accordance with approved plant procedures. The procedures should state the
desired test interval and should include provisions for recording test results.
The following are examples of performance tests that may be included:
(a) pump speed control system performance
(b) flow instrument loop calibration
(c) pump performance
(d) lube oil system performance
(e) trip valve performance
(f) control building air conditioning system performance
(g) instrument air compressor performance
(h) instrument air dryer performance
(i) voltage control system test
20
DOE-STD-1053-93
(j) air ejector/vacuum pump performance
(k) rotating equipment vibration tests
(l) valve leakage tests
3.4.13.2 Performance test results should be analyzed by a performance engineer. The
performance engineer should report significant analysis results and trends to
cognizant owner/operators, department managers, and the plant manager,
along with recommended corrective actions based on the analyses. When
analyzing trends and developing corrective recommendations, the
performance engineer should consult with other cognizant technical
personnel and analyze performance information and trend data maintained
by other departments.
3.4.13.3 Analysis and trending of selected routine operational data such as
calibration results, and maintenance history should be performed by the
cognizant departments. Selection of the data to be trended is the
responsibility of the department manager. Corrective action for adverse
trends or unacceptable performance should be taken promptly by the
cognizant department.
3.4.14 Review of Completed Maintenance Job Requests
The operations supervision on shift should compare the work accomplished to the
postmaintenance testing or inspection performed to determine that all work is
acceptable prior to returning the SSC to normal service.
3.4.14.1 Maintenance supervisors should review completed job requests for the
adequacy of repair, complete documentation, and identification of rework.
A post-job review should be held with the craftspersons involved. This
review may be a brief discussion or an involved critique. The purpose of the
review is to determine whether any unexpected problems occurred and/or
how the activity may be accomplished more efficiently the next time. Other
reviews should be accomplished by the technical support, quality control,
radiation protection, and other organizations, as appropriate and in
accordance with facility instructions. Feedback should be provided to
planning, scheduling, and maintenance personnel to highlight areas that were
exemplary and areas that needed improvement. Maintenance supervision
should, as a minimum, ensure the following:
21
DOE-STD-1053-93
a) Affected individuals/organization are kept knowledgeable of applicable
lessons learned from other sources;
b) The identity of the individual who certifies successful completion of
maintenance work is traceable;
Section 14
c) Maintenance rework is identified and regularly reviewed for
implications and applicable actions to minimize recurrence;
d) Maintenance managers and supervisors use personal observations for:
1) Identifying and correcting violations
2) Ensuring established policy and procedure compliance
3) Conveying management expectations for standards of
excellence
4) Verifying that unauthorized changes or modifications do not
exist
5) Ensuring that the design integrity of SSC is maintained,
(includes associated protective devices).

APPENDIX A
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MODEL
A - 1
DOE-STD-1O53-93
APPENDIX A
The Maintenance Operations Model incorporates five interrelated processes
applicable to each maintenance job. These five processes are Plan Maintenance Job,
Schedule Maintenance Job, Execute Maintenance Job, Execute Postmaintenance Testing,
and Complete Maintenance Job.
The Plan Maintenance Job process is identifying the jobscope; producing a job plan;
determining the planning category, priority, and safety concerns; identifying and procuring
parts, materials, and supplies; identifying other task resources required; and preparing the
work package. This process was developed based on DOE Order 4330.4A Chapter II
Section 7.3.1.
The Schedule Maintenance Job process is calculating estimated start date and project
resources required for job; scheduling and committing required resources and special
tools/equipment to allow performance of all job tasks associated with the job. This process
was developed based on DOE Order 4330.4A Chapter II Section 7.3.2.
The Execute Maintenance Job process is initiating and performing the job; and
collecting job information as defined in the work package. This process was developed
based on DOE Order 4330.4A Chapter II Section 8.
The Execute Postmaintenance Testing process is verifying facilities SSC fulfill their
design functions prior to return to service after execution of the job. This process was
developed based on DOE Order 4330.4A Chapter II Section 9.
The Complete Maintenance Job process is performing job closeout to include
completion of all documentation contained in the work package to ensure historical
information is captured. This process was developed based on DOE Order 4330.4A Chapter
II Section 8.3.4.

CONTROL OF MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
SAMPLE LESSON PLAN
1. The instructor should be familiar with the following background information:
a. Rigorous control of maintenance activities should be directed at achieving
high quality work performance, personnel safety, radiological protection
operating equipment/system protection, and overall site safety and reliability.
This control should be a function of a graded approach to maintenance.
b. A work control program is an administrative method to manage the site-wide
identification, planning, approving, scheduling, coordinating, performing, and
reviewing of maintenance activities. This program should contain the
following elements:
• an administrative procedure governing the program,
• a maintenance job request form,
• a system of job site guidance and overview by supervision,
• a method to control troubleshooting,
• guidance for addressing rework,
• postmaintenance testing review, and
• a method to control contractor activities.
Section 15
2. To teach this lesson, the following training housekeeping items are required:
a. Location for the training,
b. Approximately 30 minute time period for the training,
c. Notification of selected employees, and
d. A copy of the work control program procedure and a selection of completed
job requests from previous maintenance activities.
C - 3
DOE-STD-1053-93
3. This lesson has the following trainee enabling objectives:
a. Outline the work control system,
b. Know the content, use, and review of a maintenance job request, and
c. Explain the duties of a supervisor in monitoring and adding value to the
work activity.
4. A work control program is an administrative method to encompass the site-wide
identification, planning, approving, scheduling, coordinating, performing, and
reviewing of maintenance activities. This program should contain the following:
a. The basic intent of the work control system is to identify all plant
deficiencies and ensure they are corrected in a timely, efficient, and quality
fashion. A formal procedure is required to communicate and standardize the
site work control activities. The work control system helps all personnel
understand the requirements and controls necessary for performing work.
The following criteria should be addressed:
• personnel responsibilities to identifying and initiating a corrective
action for plant deficiencies,
• the supervisory responsibility for controlling the maintenance activity,
• responsibilities for job planning and site scheduling,
• the priority system,
• the flow path of the job request through the review, performance, and
post-review process,
• guidance for permits, tagouts, and safety support,
• postmaintenance testing, and
• completed documentation and maintenance history updates.
b. The maintenance job request form is a document that when combined with
specific drawing, procedures, and instructions becomes what is referred to
as a work package. This package is then handed to the work crew for
completion of the task and should include the following:
• equipment identification,
• person's name and date of initiation of the work order,
C - 4
DOE-STD-1053-93
• description of the problem or deficiency,
• site work priority,
• personnel safety and permit requirements,
• work instructions or applicable procedures,
• ALARA recommendations,
• inspection hold points,
• work authorization approvals,
• postmaintenance testing instructions,
• description of conditions found and actions taken by the craftsperson,
and
• final reviews and sign-offs.
c. Maintenance supervisors should periodically monitor work activities in
progress to ensure a quality maintenance product. Their task is not one of
"bird-dogging" the job, but should add value to the overall activity by taking
a "big picture" look at the conditions surrounding the task. In short the
supervisors should provide overview guidance and coordination where
needed. Some examples include the following:
• concise job briefings,
• proper radiological and safety practices,
• emphasis on quality of workmanship,
• ensuring procedure use,
• enforcement of protection for open process systems or components,
• accountability of tools, chemicals, or materials used,
• a clean and orderly work sites,
• work performed on the correct system or component,
• effective response to unanticipated problems,
C - 5
DOE-STD-1053-93
• timely completion of the activity,
• accurate reporting and documentation of actions taken, and
Section 16
• ensuring acceptance of completed maintenance by the customer.
d. Contract personnel should perform maintenance under the same controls,
high standards, and expectations as site maintenance personnel. Their
completed work and documentation should meet the same scrutiny as that
expected of site maintenance personnel.
5. Discuss with the trainees the site work control system, and review the selected
work orders in light of the previous discussion.
