A GUIDE FOR CONSTRUCTING
OPERATIONJ\L RRhDINESS HODELS
OVERVIEW. The purpose of this guide is two fold. First, to give you a general idea of what operational readiness (OR) models are and second to provide you wi th a standard method for building one.
DISCUSSION. The OR process is just a method to organize yourresources and job tasks to ensure a base, shop, or
. fact 11 ty is ready to start work correctly. It provides a control system that can be used by individuals or a readiness team. The OR process is completely flexible and the degree of detail needed is determined by the user. The format makes it particularly good for use by aircrews who are used to looking at cockpit or control panel type displays. The OR can work together wi th other types of organized techniques such as HBO, COMPl\S, and fault tree analytical methods.
General Rules. The following rules are based on the graphic sequences shown in Figure 1:
- 'fhe basic goal is to huve any operation in a state of readiness.
Developing 'an anaJytical tree which gets progressiv~ly deeper in detail showing the things needed to be ready to do a job.
The tree is used to def ine a complete set of tasks or f unctions to attain opera tional readiness. The amount of lletail needed can be varied through the various tiers or levels of the tree.
The user has a format or matrix to use so the tasks can be related to the individuals or groups who are to do them.
The, matrix is used to track the status of the specific tasks. This results in a churt displaying the state of readiness.
PROCEDURAL STEPS
STEP 11 Building an Operational Readiness Tree
12
-This is a multi-tiered ·objective· tree.
The basic objective at the highest point of the tree or apex is to have the mission, shop, or project ready to operate correctly.
The first tier of the tree always contains three basic ftblocks" in a state of readiness:
Mission or unit and hardware
Mission or unit personnel
Mission or unit procedures
The tiers of the tree may be bui 1 t to any desired degree of detail and show at each level the condition needed to reach the next higher level. Figures 2 and 3 further ~ show this expansion.
- Use the sequences of acti vi ties depicted by the tree to establish implementation responsibili ties, and to build the required methods of implementation, i. e., work sheets, flow charts, etc.
STEP 2:
To ensure management has good information and to help track readiness, you draw a continuous line across the tree from the "box to box" shO\;ling the complete set of tasks and funct.ions needed to be in "go" or readiness post tion. 'l1lis line ~hif.t from tier to tier within the tree but must cross the tree completely. In areas where greater depth or detail is needed, the line is carried througb lower tier boxes. If minimal detail is all that is needed use just the upper tier boxes. See figures 1a, 2 and 3.
Identify the individual(s) or working group th2.t have the responsibilities for completion of the items covered by the boxes.
STEP 3: Set up a two dimensional matrix, as shown in Figure IB (lower right corner). On one side are the tasks established in step 2 and on the other side, the individual or working team who has responsibili ty for completion of the item(s). It's just a general purpose worksheet designed to control the readiness process.
13
STEP 41 Place a blue diamond shaped Bymbol indicating "don't know status" in each box where you don't have the answer. Let I S you know there's more work to do in these areas before you're in a "go~ situation.
STEP 5: Establish a status reporting responsibility for each individual or working team for any matrix box. The
raon or team muat have sufficient information to elill complete evaluat on and ·clear~ all aspects of the box for which tbey are responsible.
STEP 6. diarncndl
As statUB reports come in, overlay on the blue
A red triangle for "not ready."
A green circle for "ready."
This material is just to give you an idea on how you work the readiness system. Read it over a couple of times and you '11 see it's worth. The Occupancy Use Readiness Manual enclosed in this package is the civilian version of our Operational Readiness and further explains the items discussed in this handout.

Th. R •• dlness Tree provides an overall picture of responsiblJities (the' 'wh.t' ') which are involved in the an.lytlcal process.
Specific areas ot responsibility are listed on the R •• dlness M,atrix .• 'ong with the involved groups (the '·who"). The independ.nt and overlapping responsibilities of the groups m.y then be jndic.ted on the m.trix.
The Safety Organization's disciplines are listed on the chart versus this group's criteria c.tegorles {energies Involved in the Facility's operation}. Other groups wishing to use a disciplinary chari would list their own group's disciplines and criteria categories.
EAch Safety discipline has Its applicable criteria elaboral.,y detailed in an analytical tree. The trees are used by the Safety Organization to see that all groups have fulfilled their safety responsibilities. Therefore, the other groups should refer to Appendix I to better understand the safety criteria against which they are evaluated.

From your experience, think of the most recent situation in which you observed a job or operating situation for which it was not easy to operate or maintain plant equipment in an effective, error-free manner.
1. When and where did this happen (approximate date and place)?
2. What equipment and/or what type of job was involved?
3. Briefly describe the situation at the time (process or machine running, process ot machine shut down, abnormal operating conditions, etc.).
4. Exactly what occurred? (Use other side if necessary.)
5. Why do you classify this as being an especially difficult operational or maintenance job?
6. What might have been expected from more effective plant design or procedures in this situation (e.g., easier to perform, less chance of error, less chance of equip
ment damage, etc.)? 612984

Typical Problems Detected by this Method
• Mechanical operability
• Communications system
• Visual access
• Personnel access
• Mechanical maintainability 612964

Actual Case Study Indicates That: .
• Operations people are very good at pointing out problems which will eventually cause an accident
• If the problem:s were fi·xed the accidents could have been prevented
• Review agents, designers, management, etc. Should be aware of RSO material if we plevertt=prevent problems

Example Case
Accident An individual removed a radioactive wand from a test. Assuming it to be non-radioactive. The hand-held radiation monitor failed to alarm. The health physicist directed the individual to put it back, the individual froze and the HP had to take it away and throw it back. ~ er.:k __ ~
RSO reports prior to accident:
1. Difficulties in identifying hot or cold wand (1 time)
2. Hand-held monitor failed (5 times)
3. Personnel fail to respect to HP directives (3 times) 612966
199
Resume: Sponsor-irradiated fuel pins were taken to one of our hot cells for examination. This was a rush job under combined direction of our people and sponsor representatives.
The pins were taken from the transfer cask and were placed in a wire mesh basket which was resting on a "slotted" working base (like a boardwalk with large cracks between the boards).
The mesh size on the basket was larger than the fuel pin diameter. A pin fell partially through the basket and into one of the slots on the working base. When the basket was moved (using remote manipulations), the pin was bent.
612967
200
Relevant Problems Revealed by RSO Prior to the Event:
1. Conducting work with impaired visual access - windows or periscope (reported 3 times).
2. Conducting work with impaired cell equipment, inadequate equipment for the job to be done, or jury rigging;; 1.1;) / / ';- - )
(reported·5 times). (Juo/tM",dJ
3. Job supplied on short notice (reported twice).
4. Too many companies trying to direct work without organized coordination (reported once).
5. Lack of information on hardware to be worked with (reported 3 times).
6. Too much pressure to work fast and get job out (reported twice).
7. "Handling techniques had to be developed when specimens arrived" (reported once).
8. " ... Iack of patience in following established procedures due in part but not entirely, to the pressure of jobs waiting to be done with partially impaired facilities (cell windows)" (reported once).

What are Some of the Things to Watch for in Performing Operational
Readiness Review?
• Too much emphasis on dominant hazards and/or catastrophic consequence levels
• Overuse or underuse of formal techniques
• Overlooking peripheral hazard types
• Items which were "ready" and later "undone" (especially items performed early in the project)
• Failure to properly relate "unknown status" items to potential consequences if these items are not ready
• Failure to refer risk on unknown status items to proper management levels
• Effect of schedule pressures on quality of work
• Failure to clearly assign responsibilities for knowledge of work status
S22695 2.27
218
• Compromise of "here and now" readiness
of personnel to operate the system due to
overtime, overwork and other pressures
• Effectiveness of change and configuration

How can We Avoid These Problems?
• Assignments of responsibility and use of media to assure that systems designed to achieve both basic process safety and safety considerations in the various disciplinary areas are in a state of readiness.
• Use both formal methods and personal experience and skills to avoid oversights.
• Use appropriate general laundry lists, checklist, etc. to cross check for oversig hts.

Recommendations on the Review Process
The review group summarized their review by making the following recommendations regarding ORR's in general and our plan in particular. fJr!l-' d" .k. ,,, ... r' /!~,", 6··/;~~ ... , r / {, ~' ~' ,:._ . .J
• Set up systems of administrative controls to handle (1) Component requalifications
(2) I n-service inspections (3) Instrument recalibrations.
• Specify the authority of the ORR review team (see Sections 5.5 and 5.6 of our Plan). Team's role should be advisory only_
S2 3520
221
Recommendations on the Review Process (cont'd)
• A person with operations skills should be added to the Review Team.
• In management procedures, build in a communications system to disseminate public relations information.
• Consider presenting a package to the ORR Review Team in advance of the review.
• In the ORR, do not resolve anything on the spot; just write down the problem and (later) write up the resolution. 52 3521
222
Recommendations on the Review Process (cont'd)
• Prior to the ORR, someone outside the Review Team should have reviewed documentation for adequacy (Review Team will be unable to do this in the time available).
• Review Team should meet for the ORR at least two months prior to operation.
• Consider convening the Review Team for incremental reviews.(Use reviewers only from within their organization'?)
52 3522
22 3
Recommendations on the Review Process (cont'd)
• One to two days is not adequate for an ORR of a complex system.
• Set up rigorous system for control of changes(to sOftware.)
• Establish operator qualifications. Two to four year training period for "shift supervisors" in critical areas; in some cases psychological exams are given; the plant facility manager has the last word in accepting an operator.
S2 3523
224
Recommendations on the Review Process (cont'd)
• Obtain management commitment to support ORR. We have a great amount of ORR work to do - perhaps five to six full time people for the next three months.
• Set up operational controls at a pOint in the testing program prior to first plasma, and control the work thereafter.
• Make a dry run of the ORR presentation.
• Establish methods to control the work and changes after the ORR.
S2 3525
?2r.; 1'-1. ~
Recommendations on the Review Process (cont'd)
• Establish software assessment criteria, set up an independent review of critical software programs, including dry run test.
• For safety readiness, conduct emergency preparedness planning, establish safety limits and periodic monitoring requirements.
• Establish procedures for handling trouble reports.

Practical Considerations for Readiness Reviews
(Hanford Experience)

• Several prime contractors (UNC, Rockwell, etc.)
• Multiplicity of facilities - N Reactor - Z Plant. (Pu processi.ng) - Nuclear waste vitrification - Nuclear waste storage tanks

A Field Office and Contractor Procedure should be Issued

Requirements S2 10 165
259
Selection of Startups for Formal Review
• Selection should be performed in advance via a formal projection list submitted to senior official for approval
• Normally data for projections should be accumulated by program entity and compiled by safety-type division
52.10 153
260
• Some selection criteria for requiring a formal readiness review could be:
Startup of new nuclear facilities, operations, or processes
- Restart of facilities, operations, or processes that were ordered shutdown for safety reasons or following effluent release to the environment in excess of DOE standards
- Restart of nuclear facilities, operations or processes following modification involving safety questions previously unreviewed by RL
Ii .. /~ lau.~/ S2 10 154
261
• Criteria (continued) Restart of nuclear facilities, operations, or processes that have been shutdown or in standby for an extended period.
- Initiation of D&D projects involving safety questions previously unreviewed
- Initiation of non-routine transport of hazardous materials
- Initiation of new type activities which present an identifiable hazard to employees, the public, or the environment
- Any startup specifically designated by the government
52 10 155
262
• A readiness review should be tailored for particular facilities, contractors or processes
• DOE-RL has generally asked for certain basic elements in a contractor startup review
S2 10 156
263
Basic Elements Are:
• Compilation of a review checklist based upon an analytical method such as MORT or SSDC-1 :
"Do the sum of the pieces add up to the whole"?
52 10 157
264
• State of readiness should be recommended by independent review body to authorizing official, e.g., contractor readiness board recommends to contractor senior official, RL review team recommends to field office manager
S2 10 158
265
• What signatures mean must be documented, e.g., 100 % complete, complete with waiver, etc.
• Meaningful documentation must exist behind each signature, e.g., audit report, surveillance report, training, test result, etc., "Belief without evidence is called faith".
• Portions of the tree or checklist considered N/A or waived should be technically justified,
• e.g., no consequence, consequence IS
acceptable risk as judged by qualified individual.
52 10 144
266
• Signoffs required by system expert with management approval
- Management should be alert for interface problems, e.g., have individual hardware and/or management systems been tested together as well as separately,
- System Operational Test Procedures (OTP's) - Match of procedures with the plant
S2 10 151
26 7
• Incomplete items should be designated pre or post-startup, e.g.,
- Some items will be complete after authorization but prior to startup (PRE)
- Some after actual startup (POST) - If it is ever needed, it is not needed for
startup? If not, why not?
S2 10 143
238
Helpful Hints
• Time for conduct of a readiness review should be incorporated in the startup schedule
S2 10 159
269
• QA certification that background documentation is in place
• Master checklist or tree is maintained by one designated individual
S2 10 160
270
• General problems identified for one readiness review should be fixed for overall site or contractors system and not just facility specific "Band-Aid".
S2 10 161
271
• Approval in stages is often necessary and appropriate.
• The conduct of the readiness review can be hazardous too!
S2 10 162
27 2
• Readiness review is not a guarantee. So, don't turn your brain off!

(2) The CO or CU representative, the safety and health manager, and other appropriate elements of the field organization shall review the contractor's request and the employees' comments and submit the field organization's recommendation, together with the contractor's request and contractor employee comments, to the Director of Operational Safety (EP-32) within 30 days of receipt of the request. After review and evaluation of the request, comments, and recommendation, and after coordination with the appropriate program office(s), EP-32 shall approve a temporary variance if the request establishes that (a) the contractor is unable to comply with the standard because of unavailability of professional or technical personnel, materials or equipment, funding needed to come into compliance with the standard, or because necessary construction or alteration of facilities must be completed in order to comply; (b) the contractor is taking all available steps to safeguard employees against the hazards covered by the standard; and (c) the contractor has an effective program for coming into compliance with the standard as quickly as practicable.
(3) A temporary variance may be in effect for no longer than the period needed by the contractor to achieve compliance with the standard or 1 year, whichever is shorter, except that in unusual circumstances (e.g., lack of programmatic funding) such a temporary variance may be renewed not more than once. Such a renewal also shall be in effect for no longer than 1 year. An application for renewal must be filed and processed in the manner specified in paragraph 4a(2), above at least 90 days prior to. expiration of the temporary variance. Employees also shall be given an opportunity to review and comment on a request for a renewal, as outlined on page 1-2, paragraph 4a(1)(d). .
(4) The Oirector of Operational Safety shall inform the field organization of the results of the evaluation of the request for a temporary variance or the extension thereof, within 180 days of receipt of the request.
b. Permanent Variances.
(1) DOE contractors may apply to the appropriate CO or CO representative for a permanent variance from the prescribed OSHA standards. The request for variance shall contain the sam,e information specified on page 1-2, paragraphs 4a(1)(a)-(d). The CO or CO representative, the local safety and health office, and other appropriate elements of the field organization shall review the contractor's request and the employees' comments and submit their recommendation, together with the contractor's request and contractor employee comments, to the Director of Operational Safety (EP-32) within 30 days of receipt of the request. After review and evaluation of the request, comments, and recommendation, and after coordination with the appropriate program office, EP-32 shall submit a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary, Environmental Protection, Safety, and Emergency Preparedness (EP-l), for consideration.

If EP-l determines that the contractor has demonstrated that the conditions, practices, means, methods, operations, or processes to be used will provide employment and a place of employment whiCh is as safe and healthful as those whiCh would prevail if the contractor complied with the standard, a permanent variance shall be approved and the requestiny organization shall be notified accordingly, within 180 days of receipt of the request by EP-32.
(3) However, if the permanent variance request is not approved by EP-l, the requesting organization shall be notified of the rationale for the determination, within 180 days of receipt of the request by EP-32.
c. Exceptions. The CO or CO representative may grant exceptions from the DOE-prescribed OSHA standards after evaluation of a contractor's request for a temporary or permanent variance. To provide suctl an evaluation, the CO or CU representative shall consult with the safety and health director and other appropriate elements of the field organization. An exception shall be granted only where the contractor has demonstrated that contractor employees will be provided protection equivalent to that provided by the standard(s) for which the temporary or pennanent variance is being requested. The exception is to be effective only until a "decision on the issuance of a variance is made by Headquarters, but in no case is an exception to be effective for longer than 180 days, beginning with the date of Headquarters' receipt of the request. The exception shall not be renewable.
5. INSTRUCTIONS TO AND INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYEES.
a. All contractor employees snaIl be instructed by the contractor to:
I (1) Observe the UOE-prescribed USHA standards applicable to their work and report promptly to the contractor any condition which may lead to a violation of tnese standards.
(2) Report emergencies and respond to warning signals which may be activated in the event of fire, radiation, or other possible emergencies.
b. All contractor ernployees shall be instructed by the contractor initially and periodically (at least annually) regarding the requirements outlined by the UOE safety and health poster, DOE Forms 5480.2 and 5480.3, or DOE Forms EV-63~ and EV-632S, as appropriate. Questions concerning the DOE poster may be brought to the attention of the contractor or to the field organization.
c. All contractor employees shall be fully informed (at least annually) by the contractor of their rights, protections, and obligations, which include nondiscrimination; the filing of complaints; availability of the
(
320
DOE 5483.1A 6-22-83
1-5
UOE-prescribed OSHA standards and of complaint form DOE F 5480.4 (Attachment II-I); and accompaniment of the DOE inspector during the con
duct of compliance inspections or during the conduct of inspections based
on the filing of complaints.
d. All contractor employees shall be informed that the contractor is required
to monitor the employee's workplace for radiation exposure and known toxic
materials or harmful physical agents which are used or produced at the GOCO
facility, and to maintain records of the data as required by Title 29 CFR
Part 1910.20, "Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records." Employees
or their authorized representatives are to be provided with an opportunity
to observe monitoring or measuring for toxic materials and harmful physical
agents and to have access to the results thereof. Each employee or former
employee or representative thereof, within 15 days of a written request,
shall be provided access to or copies of any records of cumulative recorded
or.cupational radiation dose or any monitoring or bioassay records relevant
to potential exposure to toxic materials or harmful physical agents during
employment. Employees will be notified of any information indicating that
a radiation dose or an exposure to toxic materials or harmful phYSical
agents may have exceeded the limits specified by the DOE-prescribed OSHA
standards.
e. All contractor employees or former employees shall have access to their
personal safety, health, and medical records consistent with the provisions
of the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act.
6. CUMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS.
a. Occupational safety and health professionals of field organizations shall
conduct unannounced compliance inspections of GOCO facilities, using the
DOE-prescribed OSHA standards as requirements. These inspections are in
addition to occupational safety and health appraisals or audits required
by any other DOE Order, and shall be conducted on a priority basis with
respect to the safety and health hazards involved and the number of
employees affected. The compliance inspection may be a separate visit or
it may be a part of a visit scheduled for other safety and health-related
purposes. The inspection shall be conducted so that a representative
sample (i.e., some large buildings, some small, and a variety of opera
tions, including construction) of each GOCO facility is inspected every
year. Where violations of the DOE-prescribed OSHA standards are noted,
appropriate follow-up actions shall be taken to assure the effectiveness
of corrective actions taken on ,deficiencies noted during initial
compliance inspections.
b. The contractor shall not be notified in advance of compliance inspections,
except for situations involving contractor employee complaint al legations
of imminent danger where DOE may elect to notify the contractor immediately
to assure elimination of the danger and/or removal of employees from the
danger (page 11-2, paragraph 3b) before the inspection is conducted. DOE
personnel may be assisted by third party speCialists when needed. The
contractor shall provide such assistance and information as may be
required by the inspector to aid in the inspection.
321
1-6 DOE 5483.1A 6-22-83
c. The DOE inspector shall meet with the contractor management of the specific operation, building, location, and activity to be inspected to explain the purposes of the visit. The contractor management representative and the representative authorized by the employees shall be gi venan opportunity to accompany the DOE inspector duri ng the inspect ion. DOE shall be responsible for determining that the employee representative is in fact the person designated by the employees. Employees may be represented by a third ~arty of their choice who is not an employee (such as an industrial hygienist or a safety engineer). Where it is impossible for the DOE inspector to determine the authorized employee representative, he or she shall consult with the CO or CO representatives and appropriate elements of the field organization to make a determination. Where there is no representative authorized by employees, the DOE inspector shall consult with a reasonable number of employees concerning safety and health conditions in the workplace.
d. When the inspection party moves from one section of the facility to another, or where the security restrictions would prevent access, a different representative authorized by the employees may accompany the inspector.
e. In the event the inspector discovers a situation which presents an imminent danger to contractor employees' safety and health, he or she shall take immediate and effective remedial action to assure that employees are removed from the danger area and/or that the danger is eliminated. This should be accomplished by worKing closely with the contractor, contractor employees, and representatives thereof, as appropriate. As soon as possible, the DOE inspector also shall notify the CO or CO representative, the safety and health director, and any other appropriate elements of the field organization of the facts and circumstance of the imminent danger situation. The field organization and the contractor shall assure that the matter is investigated and that prompt actions are taken to preclude recurrence of a similar imminent danger situation.
f. Upon completion of the inspection, the DOE inspector shall hold a closeout meeting with the contractor management and, if requested, with the employees or authorized employee representatives to inform them of the inspection findings. A combined meeting may be held if the participants agree. When the inspection discloses a violation of the DOE-prescribed OSHA standards, a copy of the notice of violation with abatement dates will be transmitted fonnally from the CO or CO representative within 30 days after the completion of the inspection. The contractor shall notify the CO or CO representative in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after receipt of the written findings, of the planned or completed abatement actions taken in response to the notice of the violation(s). Copies of the notice of violation(s) shall be posted conspicuously by the contractor in the general area of the violation for a period of 5 working days or until the violation is corrected, whichever is longer. Contractor employees or authorized representatives of employees may file written notices with the CO or CO representative in situations where they believe that the time fixed for abatement is unreasonable. The CO or CO representative, the safety and health director, and other
/
322
DOE 5483. 1 A 6-22-83
1-7 (and 1-8)
appropriate elements of the field organization shall review the written
notice and provide a written response thereto within 15 days of receipt.
If not satisfied with the field organization's response, the employee or
representative thereof may refer, in writing, unr.esolved differences to
the Director of Operational Safety (EP-32) for resolution. EP-32 shall
review and evaluate such referrals in consultation with the appropriate
program office(s). Based on their evaluation, a recommended course of
action to resolve the problem shall be provided to the field organization.
Within 30 days of the request, EP-32 shall provide a written response to
the employee or representative thereof which details the actions taken and
the rationale therefor.
g. In a situation where a contractor is unable to correct a violation or
comply with the standards in a reasonable length of time due to funding
limitations or other DOE-imposed restrictions, the contractor shall
provide the CO or CO representative with full details and a, alternate
plan to provide safety and health protection equivalent to that provided
by the standard(s) during the period of noncompliance. In such cases, tne
CO or CO representative shall consult with the safety and health di rector
and other appropriate elements of the field organization. Based upon this
consultation, the CO or CO representative shall determine an appropriate
course of action to be followed and also shall advise the contractor to
notify employees of this course of action through the posting procedure
noted on page 1-6, paragraph 6f.

CHAPTER II
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH COMPLAINTS ---------------
a. Initially, contractor employees or representatives thereof should attempt
resolution of their complaints by submitting to their contractor manage
ment, either directly or through their authorized employee representative,
reports of any conditions or practices which they consider hazardous to
their safety or health, or which they believe are in violation of the OOE
prescribed OSHA standards.
b. Contractor employees or their representatives may submit complaints
di rectly ~o the DOE fi e ld organi zation safety and health manager or the
CO or CO representative, particularly in situations where the complainant
wishes to remain anonymous (to the contractor), or where the complainant
believes that unsafe/unhealthful conditions still exist or violations of
standards still remain after being brought to the attention of and addressed by contractor management.
c. Complaints may be submitted to either contractor management or to the DOE
by completing DOE F 5480.4 (Attachment II-I), by sending a letter or tele
gram, or by oral means. Oral complaints shall be recorded on DOE F 5480.4
by DOE and/or the contractor. Irrespective of the means of submission, the
complaint should set forth with reasonable parti,:ularity the pertinent
facts and circumstances involved. In all situations where the complaint is
submitted to DOE and anonymity is requested by the complainant, the [JOE
shall not divulge the complainant's identity to contractor personnel or to
any other persons not essential to the processing and investigation of the
complaint.
2. INSPECTION.
a. Should the contractor receive a complaint from an employee or an authorized
representative, the contractor shall confer with the employee or the
authorized representative and conduct a joint inspection of the conditions
or circumstances identified by the complaint.
b. Should the field organization receive a complaint, the facts and circum
stances of the complaint shall be reviewed and, if determined necessary by
the DOE, an inspection shall be made to investigate the complaint allega
tions within 15 days of receipt of the complaint. However, the inspection
should be made as immediately as is possible. In making the inspection,
the same procedures set forth on pages 1-5 through 1-7, paragraphs 6b-g,
shall apply. Followup compliance inspections shall be conducted, as
appropriate.
325
1I-2 DOE 5483.1A 6-22-83
3. IMMINENT DANGER COMPLAINTS - SUBMISSION AND INSPECTION.
a. Any employee or authorized representative of employees who believes that an
imminent danger exists, shall bring this matter to the attention of the
appropriate contractor, supervisor, o~ designated official. If the
imminent danger is determined to be valid. the contractor shall take
immediate and effective remedial actions to remove employees from the
danger area and/or eliminate the danger. The contractor shall conduct an
inspection as soon as possible thereafter to assure that appropriate
actions have been taken to preclude recurrence of the imminent danger
situation.
b. The employee or the authorized representative also may visit or call the
DOE at the field organization level to request an immediate elimination of
the danger and an inspection of the alleged imminent -danger situation. DOE
shall ascertain immediately whether there is a reasonable basis for the
imminent danger complaint. If the complaint is determined to be valid, DOE
shall take immediate and effective actions to remove employees from the
danger area and/or eliminate the danger. This may be accomplished by
,conducting an immediate DOE inspection and/or by contacting the contractor
immediately. In any event, DOE shall conduct an inspection as soon as
possible to assure that appropriate actions have been taken to preclude
recurrence of the imminent danger situation. In making the inspection, the
same procedures set forth on pages 1-5 through 1-7. paragraphs 6b-g, shall
apply. Followup compliance inspections shall be conducted. as appropri ate.
4. RESPONSE TO COMPLAINANTS.
a. The contractor shall inform each complainant of the results of the
inspection and the actions taken to address and/or correct the safety and
health concerns, problems, and/or violations of the DOE-prescribed OSHA
standards noted by a .complaint filed with the contractor.
b. For complaints filed with DOE, DOE shall provide a written response to the
complainant within 15 days after the completion of the complaint
inspection, except, obviously, in those situations where the complainant's
identity cannot be determined. The response shall be sent to the com
plainant's home address, unless he or she has specifically requested that
mail be sent to his or her place of employment. The response shall provide
the results of the DOE inspection prompted by the complaint, and shall
document all actions taken on complaint-related allegations of unsafe/unhealthful conditions and/or violations of the DOE-prescribed OSHA
standards. If it is determined that no inspection is necessary, DOE shall
respond to the complainant within 15 days of receipt of the complaint, and
state why an inspection was not conducted.
5. COMPLAINT RESOLUTION. Contractor employees or representatives thereof who
are not satisfied wlth the adequacy or effectiveness of the field
326
DOE 5483.1A 6-22-83
11-3 (and 11-4)
organization's investigation of or response to their complaint allegations
may submit a written request for complaint resolution to the Director of
Operational Safety (EP-32). The request must include the pertinent facts
and particulars, and the basis for the request (e.g., inadequate action
taken on violation of a standard, or no employee or representative allowed
to participate in inspection), along with a copy of the original complaint
and the field organization's response thereto. EP-32 shall conduct an
investigation of the situation, in coordination with the appropriate
program office(s). Within 30 days of receipt of the request, EP-32 shall
provide a written response to the employee or representative thereof, and
to the field organization. The response shall indicate the actions taken
or planned as a result of the request for complaint resolution.

The Office of Quality Assurance has sponsored the development of a guideline for readiness reviews within the Department of Energy (DOE). This guideline was developed by a Task Group composed of staff from Field Offi ces, He adqua rters and contractors. I t has been coord.i nated with the quality assurance professionals at the Field Offices and Headquarters and is transmitted herewith for your consideration. A readiness review is a structured method for determining that an activity is ready to proceed to the next phase.
Your comments are solicited on this concept and on its specific details prior to issuance as guidance. After about a year, the experience gained in using the guideline will be reviewed to detennine if the use of readiness reviews should be expanded and made mandatory (readiness reviews are already required for most nuclear activities). If you have any questions about this proposal, please have your staff contact Dr. Neal Goldenberg (FTS 233-5644) or Mr. Charles Grua (FTS 233-5516) before March 17, 1987.

DOE GUIDELINES FOR READINESS REVIEW
I. Introduction
Readiness Reviews (RRs) are a systematic approach for determining the
status of a facility, process, system or activity. Presently, the
application of the RR process is mandatory only under certain conditions
that involve unreviewed safety questions or new nuclear facilities
delineated in DOE 5480.5, "Safety of Nuclear Facilities," (9-23-86) and
DOE 5480.6, "Safety of Department of Energy-Owned Nuclear Reactors," (9-23-86) •
The RR process provides management with well organized, visible
objective evidence demonstrating the readiness for the initiation and/or
continuation of an activity (see definitions). The documented objective
evidence provides management increased confidence to authorize the
activity.
The RR process recognizes the many other requirements imposed on DOE
activities such as the Safety Analysis and Review System, National
Environmental Policy Act, environmental permits and reports, other
safety and health reporting requirements, the DOE Project Management
System requirements and the 11ke; as well as the typical industrial
engineering practice of subsystem preoperational checks. The RR proce
dure brings all these requirements and verifications to a focused formal
assurance review prior to proceeding to the next phase of the activity.
An RR program is not intended to replace line management's primary
responsibility for-project completion, quality assurance, technical
adequacy, resolution of safety or process-related considerations, etc.
Rather, a readiness review fulfills a final review function to assure that
all necessary actions by the responsibility line organizations have been
completed.
RRs provide a methodology for assuring all ne~essary activities and
actions have been satisfactorily completed before activity initiation is
authori zed. A RR will enhance: '
- early identification of deSign, construction and operations and pro
duct/component deficiencies which, if not identified as early as practicable, could result in programmatic delays or setbaCKS, and/or
safety problems;
- predictability thru planned start-ups, operations, activity initia
tion or progression to next phase;
- assured total coverage of activity readiness with only known excep
tions clearly identified;
- accountability for activity work and readiness;
- visibl1ity of data demonstrating activity readiness to management;
and
compliance with permitting and reporting requirements of Federal,
State, and local agencies.

v. Definitions
A. Readiness Review - A structured method for detennining that an activity is ready to operate or proceed to the next phase, and includes, as a minimum, comprehensive review of the readiness of the plant and hardware, personnel, and procedures. The review includes a determination of compliance with all DOE requirements.
B. Readiness Review Plan - A document approved by management for a specific activity which defines the management processes for implementing an RR. It delineates the responsibilities and authorities, defines the actions to be taken, establishes the schedule for RR implementation.
c. Activity - A facility, operation, process, system, construction activity or project that may have the RR process applied to determine the readiness for proceeding with start-up or to the next phase of the acti vi ty.
D. Technical Justification - An analysis and evaluation of the basis for requesting an exemption or waiver that fully describes the consequences of the exemption decision and the risk.

VI. Guidelines
RRs should be applied to processes, systems. facilities or activities which are:
- new or significantly modified;
- reactivated from inactive status;
- assessed for operation resulting from shutdown for cause (significant disruption, accident, etc.);
- operated in a new or significantly different mode;
- considered for authorization to proceed to next phase; and
- designated for review by responsible management.
VII. Principles
RRs should determine if the facilities. equipment, procedures, training. -personnel, and management control systems are ready to fulfill the system's functional objectives.
A. Projections of RR needs should be documented and approved by Senior Management early in the life of the activity. These needs should be scheduled with sufficient time to allow responsible organizations "to correct any deficiencies noted.
B. DOE Field Organizations and DOE Contractors should develop the specific RR plans, procedures. and criteria.
C. RRs, when appropriate. should be developed for discrete. well identified stages or phases, depending on complexity, to assure a comprehensive in-depth review of all aspects, especially interfaCing and possibly overlapping systems/areas. This will also assure that proper attention is given to multiple systems interface areas, and enable conformance to sChedule.
D. EaCh RR stage/phase should be overviewed and accepted by DOE only after contractor worK has been accomplished and recommended for acceptance by Contractor Senior Management.
VIII. Roles and Respons1bilities
The roles of organizations partiCipating in an RR program are identified as follows:
A. Program Senior Official (PSO)
(1) Reviews RR documentation and approves/disapproves action for initiation or continuation of activities, as defined under DOE 5480.5 and DOE 5480.~ or other selected activities, to the Field Office Manag~r\'
337

(2) Makes a determination with EH and the appropriate field office during the Phase I construction of systems, facilities, and major modifications which involve moderate hazard (activities that do not spec; fically requ1 re RRs in the DOE Orders), of the RR review and approval level that will be required.
(3) May participate in RR activities or act as an observer during facility start-up activities.
B. Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health
(1) Reviews RR documentation and other appropriate documentation and indicators of plant status and concurs in approval/ disapproval for initiation of high hazard and selected moderate hazard activities to the appropriate Program Senior Official.
(2) Makes a determination with PSO and the appropriate field office during the Phase I construction of systems, facilities, and major modifications which involve moderate hazard (activities that do not specifically require RRs in the DOE Orders), of the RR review and approval level that will be required.
(3) May participate in RR activities or act as an observer during facility start-up activities.
c. DOE Field Organization Manager
(1) Prepares Order supplements and management directives implementing DOE/HQ Orders and incorporates RR requirements, as appropriate.
(2) Consistent with the provisions of DOE 5480.18, "Safety Analysis and Review System," (9-23-86) has responsibility to have RRs performed. Establish a projection and SChedule of those activities that require an RR and determines the level of DOE authorizations.
(3) Require contractors to establish detailed RR procedures.
(4) Assure via observation, discussion, surveillance or audit, the· adequacy of the contractor RR checklists and activities.
(5) As appropriate, establish DOE review teams to verify a contractor's RR request to proceed with or start-up an activity.
(6) Provides contractor prepared RR documentation and Field Organization recommendations to appropriate Headquarters program offices and EH for review to enable those organizations to meet their responsibilities in regard to facility start-up in accordance wi th DOE 5480.5 and DOE 5480.6 or as requ1 red by the PSO.

(7) Subject to Headquarters concurrences identified in the DOE 5480.5 and DOE 5480.6. authorizes contractors to start up or
proceed to the next phase of designated activity.
IX. RR Performance and Projection
A. Projection of RR Needs
(1) On a regular basis (preferably annually or semi-annually) all appropriate activities should be assessed by responsible program officials to establish those programs that require an RR. The assessment should include consideration of activities such
as:
(a) Start-up of new activities.
(b) Restart of activities that have been shut down or in standby status for periods of time in excess of that required for routine maintenance.
(c) Restart of activities after modifications which would change the functioning of safety or effluent monitoring and control features.
(d) Initiation of decontamination and decommisSioning projects.
(e) Initiation of nonroutine transport of hazardous materials.
(f) Initiation of new type activities which may present an identifiable hazard to employees, the publiC, or the environment.
(2) Projections of RR requirements should be initiated by program or project offices and should include scheduled start-up dates. proposed level of management approval required, concurrence requirements, and scoping of contractor and DOE review.
(3) Safety and QA staff should collect and evaluate program projections and coordinate with program office and prepare a consolidated projected start-up list for submission through the program office to the field organization manager for review, comment and/or approval.
B. Establishment Procedures
(1) Written instructions for DOE Field Organization n!sponsibilities developed by the Field Organization in RRs are highly desirable to insure appropriate planning .and consistency of contractor actions.
(2) Contractor RR procedures should be reviewed and evaluated by field offices as an integral part of DOE RR overview.

C. Planning and Scheduling an RR
(1) Planning is an integral part of the RR process. The analytical techniques (e.g., MORT, Ref. 4) are used to assure total coverage of hardware, personnel, and administrative items and provide a basic planning framework and should be implemented as soon as practical in the life of an activity. Likewise, establishing review boards, deciding the levels of management approvals, etc., are important front end decisions that can drive the timely completion of activity work with a minimum of e"on.
(2) Early issuance of an RR plan by contractors and DOE reviewers respectively should address paragraph C.(1) considerations. Actions described in the RR plan should be integrated into the master activity schedule to identify RR activities as a part of the critical path items toward activity completion rather than an add-on inspection. Figure 1 indicates a typical RR process chronology for a relatively simple activity.
(3) Complex activities (e.g., reactor construction and/or start-up major systems acquisitions) require detailed planning and scheduling. RRs may be conducted on an incremental basis for a specified portion of the activity, rather than delaying approval until total activity is completed. The following principles are paramount if increments are used:
(a) Increments should be well identified units/modules of hardware and/or activities, e.g., systems, portions of facility, definitive design, construction, operational test, etc.
(b) Incremental acceptance should include contractor management and DOE.
(c) DOE acceptance of increments should be provided only after contractor review, comment and/or approval.
(d) Increments should always be open to additional review for verification of interfacing points or should new issues or questions be raised.
D. Organization of Review Teams
(1) DOE Field Organization Guidance
Field Organizations generally provide overall management of the activities in support of issuance of a formal authorization to proceed by the designated DOE approval authority.
(a) A representative of a field office line organization should be designated as the point of contact for interface between DOE and the contractor RR to coordinate review
, .'

activities and assure that there is an auditable record of DOE activities performed to verify readiness. The representative will also assure that DOE authorization is accompanied by a plan that clearly identifies:
- the specific tasks to be performed to determine readiness;
- the individuals responsible for assuring that these tasks have been completed; and
- justification that exempted/deferred items are not prerequisites to the start of the activity.
(b) When requested, safety, environment and QA staff organizations may perform an independent readiness review to support the operating organization; however, this review will be independent of reviews coordinated with involved program management.
Upon notification by the program organization, Safety and QA s ta f f wi 11 :
- Identify a lead Safety and QA staff member to coordinate the Safety and QA readiness review activities.
- Coordinate visits to contractor worksites with the program organizations.
- Prepare a recommendation with appropriate supporting information when the readiness review is complete and transmit through QA and Safety organization. The basic information should include the documentation prepared by each Safety and QA staff member participating in the readiness review.
Communicate concurrence to appropriate senior management.
(c) In addition to the independent review described in paragraph 9.C.l.(b), the program organization may request Safety and QA staff assistance in performing a readiness review. Safety and QA should participate in a support mode 1f staff resources are available. The Safety and OA member should have some prior knowledge of readiness reviews and perform as an individual contributor supplementing the program organization. Other staff Safety and QA may still perform independent reviews.
(2) Contractor Guidance
The contractor may establi sh a "hands on" start-up team and an
M1ndependent" review board. , . ,
341

(a) Start-up Team - a working group who have the responsibility for the activity or who will be involved in the next phase of the activity. The team normally has a multi-discipline membership (e.g., Safety, QA, Construction, Production, Engineering, etc.) and will provide the evidence of the state of readiness to the contractor independent review board and/or the contractor authorizing official. Team members coordinate and obtain support as required for activities beyond their personal expertise. The start-up team chairman may be the individual who will be responsible for the activity after start-up is authori zed.
(b) Readiness Review Board - a group of functional representatives established to independently assess start-up team actions and recommendations, and concur or recommend to the authorizing official that the activity is ready for use. Safety and QA are usually included as members of the board.
E. RR Structure Determination
(1) The RR process may be applied to virtually any activity and, therefore, the scope must be defined in proportion to activity complexity and cost, schedule and safety/quality consequences of activity failure. However, it RlJst first be determined what total·RR coverage means. The use of analytical teChniques such as MORT (Ref. 4) ITI!thodology lends itself to this task as it provides a list of all conceivable hardware, personnel and administrative items that could be checked for adequacy prior to initiating an activity. It is important that the cheCKlist is based on some analytical methodology such as the Occupancy Use Readiness Manual, (a Mort derived methodology) ERDA-76-45-1, (SSDC-l) and be devised by qualified individuals, independent of the RR task.
(2) After cheCKlist development, the contractor start-up team with concurrence of the review board shoul d systematically determine the applicability of checklist items. Additions are usually valid. However, deletions should be subject to thorough consideration, and prior to review board approval of the deletion, should be technically justified and documented. RR checklists and "trees" developed as part of the readiness review should be controlled documents so that revisions, modifications and status are maintained and assured traceable by the start-up team.
F. Verification of Readiness
(1) Expert Approval - the most basic approval of a completion for RR checklist item should be the individual most Knowledgeable
342
9
of the item and is often the cognizant craftsman or engineer.
This approval ITIJst assure the technical adequacy of the item, i.e., does the work item meet the re-determined s ec1fications
and does eVl ence eXlst lndlcating comp iance with the teria.
(2) Management Ap proval - thi s approval can range from fi rst-l ; ne supervisors to senior managers. This approval should extend beyond technical considerations and should encompass careful examination of how specific work items 1ntegrate into total activity readiness. Interfaces between hardware items, hardware and procedures, procedures and personnel, etc., are
especially critical.
(3) Definitions of Signature Approval - expert and management approvals have been discussed above and While these concepts are often well understood by professionals, they must be specifically defined in a readiness review system if consistency, quality, and common understanding 1s to be assured. Failure to
do this can result in readiness being measured against individual opinions of adequacy.
(4) Background Documentation - Sign-off at all levels should indicate that sufficient evidence exists 1n support of the sign-off
signatures (uSUJ11y documentation SUCh as test results, inspection reports, etc.). Individual signatures should pro
vide a note that lists documentation specifically backing the sign-off Signature.
NOTE: Usually such evidence will be readily available as a result of existing quality assurance/safety program implementation.
(5) A focal point for collecting and coordinating approval signatures and supporting documentation such as a quality control person should be designated. Such coordination can significantly expedite the collection of valid documentation, its organization, and the ease and speed with which overviewers (DOE, contractor managers) can complete their tasks.
(6) An appropriate tracking system should be developed to assure that established milestones are met.
G. Granting of Exemptions
There may be instances when checklist items on an RR cannot be
completed at the time the activity is authorized, but are intended
to be complete prior to activity initiation. The quantity of these
·prestart-up~ items should be minimal and a large number may indi
cate that the activity is not ready for authorization to start-up.
As the RR proceeds, it may be determined that some items do not need
I . ,
343
10
to be completed prior to start-up but at some later time. Careful identification. tracking and scheduling for completion of these items must be assured. Such "post start-up" items should be carefully evaluated by management to assure that adequate documented technical justification exists for such exemptions.
