Information,

Determining the adequacy of base information
generally entails being able to conclude that the DSA
contains sufficient documentation and basis to arrive
at the following conclusions:
• The facility contractor development and approval
processes (e.g., personnel involvement in developing
the DSA, management cognizance and acceptance,
internal reviews) demonstrate sufficient commitment
to establish the facility safety basis.
• The facility mission(s) and scope of operations (i.e.,
the scope of work to be performed) for which safety
basis approval is being sought are clearly stated and
reflected in the type and scope of operations analyzed
in the DSA. For example, a DSA documenting the
safety basis of a spent fuel storage facility whose
mission includes size reduction of spent fuel
elements would be unacceptable if the DSA omitted
safety analysis of size-reduction operations.
• A description of the facility’s life-cycle stage,
mission(s), scope of operations, and the design of
safety SSCs3 is presented, including explanation of
the impact on the facility safety basis.
• Clear bases for and provisions of exemptions,
consent agreements, and open issues are presented.
• Description of the site, facility, and operational
processes provide a knowledgeable reviewer
sufficient background material to understand the
major elements of the safety analysis.

• Correlation is established between actual facility
arrangements and operations with those stated in the
DSA. This may be accomplished successfully
through reference to facility walkthroughs during
DSA preparation. Walkthroughs may also be
warranted during DSA review to provide some level
of assurance that the actual physical arrangement of a
facility corresponds to that documented in the DSA.
For example, a walkthrough may be considered for a
Section 2
facility and/or operation that was modified in the
time frame between when DSA development was
started and completed. This is not intended to imply
the review team must perform detailed verifications
of facility configuration. The objective is to allow
the review team to conclude that the basic
descriptions provided are fundamentally up-to-date
and correct.

Hazard and
Accident
Analyses,

Determining the adequacy of hazard and
accident analyses generally entails being able to
conclude that the DSA contains sufficient
documentation and basis to arrive at the following
conclusions:
• The hazard analysis includes hazard identification
that specifies or estimates the hazards relevant for
DSA consideration (i.e., both natural and man-made
hazards associated with the work and the facility) in
terms of type, quantity, and form and also includes
properly performed facility hazard categorization.
• The final hazard category for the facility is
determined consistent with DOE-STD-1027-92,
Change Notice No. 1. Any differences between the
final hazard category and the initial hazard category
are explained.
DSA, 4.3 Hazard
and Accident
Analyses, Page

Determining the adequacy of hazard and accident
analyses rests on being able to reach the following
conclusions:
• The hazard analysis includes hazard identification
that specifies and estimates the hazards, both man-
made and natural, in terms of type, quantity, and form
of radioactive and other hazardous materials.
• The initial and final hazard category for the facility
is determined consistent with DOE-STD-1027-92,
Change Notice No. 1. Any differences between the
final hazard category and the initial hazard category
are explained.
• The methodology used for hazard analysis is clearly
identified and appropriate (e.g., techniques chosen and

• The hazard analysis includes a hazard evaluation
that covers the activities for which approval is
sought, is consistent in approach with safe harbor
methodologies, identifies preventive and mitigative
features for the spectrum of events examined, and
identifies dominant accident scenarios through
ranking.
• The hazard analysis evaluates normal, abnormal,
and accident conditions, including consideration of
natural and man-made external events, identification
of energy sources or processes that might contribute
to the generation or uncontrolled release of
radioactive and other hazardous materials, and
consideration of the need for analysis of accidents
that may be beyond the design basis of the facility.
• The hazard analysis results are clearly characterized
in terms of public safety, defense in depth, worker
safety, and environmental protection as part of the
safety basis of the facility. The logic behind
assessing the results in terms of safety significant
SSCs, SACs, and designation of TSRs is
understandable and internally consistent.
• Subsequent accident analysis clearly substantiates
the findings and delineations of hazard analysis for
the subset of events examined and confirms their
potential consequences. Safety class and safety
significant SSCs, SACs and associated TSRs have
been identified for preventing and/or mitigating
events potentially exceeding evaluation guidelines.
implemented consistent with Center for Chemical
Process Safety’s Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation
Section 3
Procedures), including supportable input assumptions
and criteria, and correct application of analytical tools
used as part of the process.
• The hazard analysis evaluates all activities for which
approval is sought, is consistent in approach with safe
harbor methodologies or approved alternate methods,
and identifies preventive and mitigative hazard
controls for the spectrum of hazards evaluated.
• The hazard analysis evaluates normal, abnormal, and
accident conditions, including natural and man-made
external events, and identifies the energy sources or
processes that might contribute to the generation or
uncontrolled release of radioactive and other
hazardous materials. The hazard analysis results are
clearly characterized in terms of public safety,
defense-in-depth, co-located worker safety, facility
worker safety, and environmental protection. The
logic behind assessing the results in terms of safety
significant SSCs, SACs, and designation of TSRs is
understandable and internally consistent.
• Accident analysis is performed for an adequate set of
design/evaluation basis accidents (D/EBAs) having
unmitigated offsite consequences that have the
potential to challenge the EG.
• The accident analysis methodology is clearly
identified and appropriate, including identification of
initial conditions and assumptions. The technical
basis for source term values is provided, valid, and
appropriate for the physical situation being analyzed.
The completeness and level of detail in the technical
basis should increase as the parameters depart from

the default or bounding values described in Part 830’s
safe harbor methods. Supporting calculations and
technical documents are identified, where appropriate,
and reviewed for critical aspects of safety controls,
where appropriate.
• The modeling protocol, if used to support
site/facility specific values in atmospheric dispersion
modeling (see Section 3.2.4.2 of DOE-STD-3009-
2014), meets the criteria and guidance provided in
DOE-STD-3009-2014, and an adequate technical
basis is provided for the receptor locations,
meteorological data, modeling tools, and modeling
parameters.
• Probabilistic risk assessments, related tools, and
probabilistic calculations (if used) are used in a
manner consistent with the applicable provisions of
DOE-STD-1628-2013, Development of Probabilistic
Risk Assessments for Nuclear Safety Applications, and
supplements the qualitative/deterministic processes
for hazard assessments and hazard control
development.
• Accident analysis clearly substantiates the findings
of hazard analysis for the design/evaluation basis
events and demonstrates the effectiveness of safety
class SSCs, if needed to prevent or reduce the
likelihood of accidents or mitigate dose consequences
below the EG. (Note: If the safety class SSCs do not
reduce mitigated dose consequences below the EG,
see Section 4.9 of this Standard.)
• Safety class SSCs, SACs and associated TSRs have
been identified for preventing and/or mitigating events
that exceed the EG.

• If required, safety significant SSCs, SACs, and
associated TSRs have been identified for preventing
and/or mitigating events that may cause worker
fatalities or serious injuries; may potentially exceed
Section 4
the worker/co-located worker radiological
consequence thresholds or the applicable “significant”
public and co-located worker toxicological thresholds;
or are determined to provide major contribution to
defense-in-depth. The facility worker’s mobility or
ability to react to hazardous conditions is not used as
the sole or primary basis for determining facility
worker impacts.
• Where planned operational improvements are
identified in the DSA, interim controls are identified,
if required to provide adequate protection, and
assigned appropriate safety classification.
• Beyond Design/Evaluation Basis Accidents are
adequately considered in the DSA. If mitigated off-
site dose estimates for postulated D/EBA accidents are
close to the EG, impacts from a spectrum of accidents
is presented (i.e., as opposed to only evaluating
seismic hazards) along with a discussion of controls
and actions available to mitigate consequences. Note:
For more complex facilities, it is acceptable for these
accidents to be described in a separate, controlled
document that is referenced in the DSA.

Identification of safety SSCs is a product of the hazard
and accident analyses. Determining the adequacy of
safety SSCs rests on being able to reach the following
conclusions:
• The safety SSCs identified and described are
consistent with the logic presented in the hazard and
accident analyses.
• Safety functions for safety SSCs are defined with
clarity and are consistent with the bases derived in the
hazard and accident analyses.
• Safety systems are clearly described to include
essential components needed to meet the safety
function. The boundaries of safety SSCs and support
systems are clearly defined and interfaces with other
SSCs are described.
• Support SSCs are clearly described and designated
as safety class or safety significant for cases where

their failures prevent safety SSCs or SACs from
performing their safety functions.
• Functional requirements and performance criteria are
defined such that, when met, they ensure that the
safety functions can be performed when needed.
• A system evaluation demonstrates that the system
can meet applicable performance criteria thereby
ensuring the functional requirements are met under
postulated accident conditions (e.g., elevated
temperatures and pressures) and the required safety
functions are fulfilled. The evaluation contains an
engineering evaluation with a supportable basis such
as one of the following methods:

o Providing a technical basis that includes an
evaluation against the code of record, to the
extent known, and augmented as needed with
calculations, performance tests, or reliability
evidence from operating history or industry
databases;
o Comparing the safety SSC design attributes to
DOE O 420.1C (or applicable successor
document) design requirements, and
associated codes and standards that are
applicable, to demonstrate compliance; or,
o Demonstrating that the existing SSCs satisfy
equivalent design requirements of current
design codes and standards.
• Key assumptions are identified so that appropriate
TSR protection can be developed or derived (such as
in limiting conditions of operations (LCOs), design
features, and SACs).

Specific
Administrative
Controls, Page

As stated in DOE-STD-1186-2004, Specific
Administrative Controls, SACs are administrative
controls that are selected to prevent and/or mitigate
specific accident scenarios and which have safety
importance equivalent to engineered controls that
would normally be classified as safety SSCs.
Engineered controls (safety SSCs) are preferred over
SACs for these functions; thus, SACs should only be
selected if engineered controls cannot be identified to
serve these functions or are not practical. The
approval basis for SACs is the same as for safety
SSCs. Specific expectations for SACs are delineated
in DOE-STD-1186-2004.

• Safety functions for SACs are defined with clarity
and are consistent with the bases derived in the
hazards and accident analyses.
• The SACs are readily understood and can be
effectively implemented. The supporting SSCs and

The following criteria should be used to judge
technical adequacy of DSA information:
• Accidents that cannot be mitigated below the EG or
prevented, are explicitly identified, including the
likelihood of the event(s) and the mitigated
consequences associated with the event(s).
• Accidents likelihood and consequences are
determined in accordance with the DSA safe harbor
methodology (e.g., Section 3.2 of DOE-STD-3009-
2014). This includes source term estimates,
dispersion analysis methodology, and dose
consequence assumptions.
• Mean or best estimate values used for source-term
and dispersion input parameters that are part of
comparative analyses (e.g., as described in DOE-STD-
3009-2014, Section 3.3.1, bullet #2) have a valid
Section 7
technical basis that includes logical assumptions that
are based on experiments, tests, or sound engineering
judgment. The analysis describes the significant
contributors to uncertainties in both the likelihood and
consequence evaluations. The mean or best estimate
calculation is used to provide perspective regarding
the degree of conservatism that is imbedded in the
consequence calculation.

• The reliability and adequacy of credited controls is
addressed (e.g., consistent with DOE-STD-3009-2014
system evaluation requirements for safety class SSCs,
as applicable).
• Controls considered (SSCs and SACs) but not
identified as safety class that could further reduce the
likelihood and/or consequences of the associated
accident(s) are described in the DSA. The impact of
these controls on accident mitigation, as well as the
rationale for not classifying these controls as safety
class should be presented. Discussions of potential
failure modes of SSCs and any relevant cost/benefit
results are included.
• Planned operational or safety improvements are
presented and include potential facility modifications,
removal of MAR, packaging of MAR into containers,
operational restrictions, and/or additional
compensatory measures, and associated schedules, to
further reduce the likelihood and/or mitigate
consequences of an accident.
• A qualitative or semi-quantitative comparison of the
facility risk from identified scenarios and cumulative
facility risk (for all facility operations) estimate for
facility accidents (including the results in response to
the second bullet) is presented along with a
comparison to the quantitative safety objectives
provided in DOE Policy 420.1. A discussion of the
level of risk and the basis why this risk is acceptable is
provided, taking into account an evaluation of
available alternatives, the benefits to the public of the
alternatives, and the costs to the public of the
alternatives.

TSR, 3.2
Approval
Bases, Page 16
Determining the adequacy of the TSR
provisions generally entails being able to
conclude that:
• Hazard controls discussed in the DSA are
faithfully translated into TSR provisions; and
• TSR provisions are appropriate and consistent
with the DSA.
TSR 5.3, TSR
Consistency with
the DSA, Page 22
Review criteria to assess consistency are provided
below:
• TSR requirements are based on functional
requirements described in the DSA.
• Safety SSCs are addressed specifically in TSR
provisions. Active, safety class SSCs may have a
safety limit and a limiting control setting associated
with them, and will usually have a LCO and a
surveillance requirement. An active safety significant
SSC may have a LCO and surveillance requirement
and/or specific provisions of a maintenance
management program associated with its Technical
bases for limiting control settings, LCO, and
surveillance requirements in the Bases appendix of the
TSR should be reviewed for adequacy. All of these
provisions are directed at ensuring that the safety
function of the SSC will be protected.
• Passive features are designated as “Design Features”
in the TSR. A crosscheck between DSA-identified
important design features and the Design Features
section of the TSR should be conducted to ensure
Section 8
consistency. Passive design features may also require
surveillance and maintenance provisions to ensure
they continue to meet designated safety functions
(e.g., erosion of overburden for Pantex Cells).
• When SACs are used, they are controlled through
the TSR. DOE-STD-1186 specifies the TSR
provisions that are acceptable to use for SACs. The
first involves using the conventions for LCO and
associated surveillance requirements (e.g., material-at-
risk limits). The second method available to
incorporate SACs into a TSR document is to identify
the specific requirement/action in a special section in
DOE-STD-1104-2009 to DOE-STD-1104-2014
Bases of Approval Crosswalk for Safety Basis Documents
- 12-
the Administrative Control section of the TSR. This
format may be appropriate when it is essential that the
SAC be performed every time and without any delay
when called upon (e.g., hoisting limits for nuclear
explosives) or when definitive program requirements
for specific activities can be established.
• The administrative controls section of the TSR
addresses commitments to implement safety
management programs identified in the DSA as
important to the facility safety basis. Hazards
analyses may invoke particular provisions of safety
management programs, such as emergency
preparedness, criticality safety, procedures, and
training.
• If DOE conditions of approval are identified for the
DSA, the review team ensures that TSR provisions
have been developed, as appropriate, to provide
assurance of the identified safety functions.

The second aspect of adequate TSRs is consistency
with guidance provided in DOE G 423.1-1 (or
successor document in site contract). Review criteria
from this Guide needed to reach this conclusion are
provided below for various sections of the TSR. The
criteria should be followed to the extent they are
applicable to the TSR being reviewed.
• Section 1, Use and Application. Terms that
operators and other facility staff need to understand
the TSRs are defined. Definitions should be clear and
concise. Operational modes are clearly demarcated.
Frequency notations used in surveillances or
elsewhere follow standard definitions and usages
given in DOE G 423.1-1.

• Section 2, Safety Limits. Safety Limits are
consistent with the DSA accident analysis and
describe the parameters being limited. Limits are
stated in measurable terms and have a defined facility
mode or other conditions under which they are
applicable. Actions required to be taken if a Safety
Limit is exceeded are described and, if taken, will
achieve a safe and stable state.
• Section 3/4, Limiting Control Settings, Limiting
Conditions for Operations, and Surveillance
Requirements. Operability requirements for active
safety SSCs, or operator actions for SACs (i.e., where
specified in LCO format), are unambiguous and
concise. LCO statements are precise and state the
lowest functional capability or performance level
required for safe operation. Instrument
setpoints/values properly account for uncertainties
(e.g., derivation is consistent with ANSI/ISA
67.04.01, Setpoints for Nuclear Safety Related
Instrumentation). Facility modes and process areas
Section 9
are specified and ensure applicability of LCOs during
operations in which accidents for which they are
credited in the DSA are possible. Actions are clear
and simple, ensure a safer condition upon
implementation, and specify a completion time that
allows for safe and timely implementation.
Surveillance requirements are established for SSC
operability that specifies the requirements necessary
to ensure compliance with the LCO (e.g., specific
values, limits, etc., should be stated in the
Surveillance Requirements). A frequency of
performance is established for each Surveillance
Requirement with a sound technical basis (e.g.,
vendor information, past performance history, and
consistent with supporting uncertainty analysis).

• Section 5, Administrative Controls. Administrative
provisions and commitments are provided related to
organization and management, procedures,
qualifications and training, record keeping, review and
assessments, reporting, safety management programs,
and actions relevant to deviations from TSRs. Facility
management responsibilities should be clear and
encompass actions necessary to ensure safe operation.
Minimum staffing requirements are specified where
required based on the safety analysis. Safety
management programs include commitments to
important attributes emphasized in the DSA (e.g., In-
Service Surveillance and Maintenance for design
features). SACs having directed actions are identified
and meet the general expectations of DOE-STD-1186-
2004.
• Section 6, Design Features. Features that must be
protected based on the safety analysis are included.
The description of design features provides sufficient
detail related to materials of construction, important
dimensions, configuration, and physical arrangement
such that important attributes needed to meet safety
functional requirements are protected in the TSR.
• Bases Appendix. Bases are provided for Safety
Limits, Limiting Control Settings, LCOs, and
associated Surveillance Requirements. The bases
provide supportable statements and reasoning. This
includes references back to safety analyses to support
selected operating limits and numeric values,
conditions, surveillances, and LCO response actions.

analysis and final categorization, the contractor
determines a facility to be a “Below HC-3” nuclear
facility.]
The following review criteria should be used in
judging adequacy of such final hazard categorization
downgrades below Hazard Category 3:
• Base information is sufficient to understand and
analyze the facility and its proposed operations;
• Final hazard categorization of the facility is
based on analyses of “unmitigated release” of
available radioactive and materials;
• The hazard analysis is comprehensive in
identifying the hazards of the facility and applies
appropriate hazard analysis techniques used to
support final hazard categorizations;
• Radioactive material inventory data is bounding;

• Radioactive material physical form and
dispersibility are considered under the full range of
potential unmitigated accident conditions that
would be expected to occur within the facility;
• Bounding airborne release fractions and
respirable fractions are used from
