design, post-operational activities, decommissioning project activities, and quality
assurance. These categories are discussed below in Section 10.3.

constructed, there may be significant modification to existing facilities. Facility
design criteria for DOE plutonium facilities can be found in DOE Order 6430.1A,
General Design Criteria (DOE, 1989b). While all of the General Design Criteria
manual is applicable to the design of new facilities or modification of existing
facilities, Division 1300, “Special Facilities,” parts 1304 and 1305, are especially
pertinent to plutonium-facility design. Additionally, 10 CFR 835 Subpart K Design
and Control also provides requirements for the design of radiological facilities.
This appendix provides guidance in the design of plutonium facilities. This guidance
should be used to supplement the required criteria in DOE Order 6430.1A, the
guidance of the DOE Radiological Control Manual (DOE, 19941), and other DOE
