Criticality Safety
NUCLEAR SAFETY BASIS
The Office of Nuclear and Facility Safety establishes and maintains the DOE requirements
for nuclear criticality safety. The DOE detailed requirements
for criticality safety are contained in Section 4.3 of
the DOE Order 420.1, Facility Safety. Criticality safety
requirements are based on the documented safety analysis
required by 10 CFR 830, Subpart B. Additionally, guidance
for satisfying the DOE requirements is found in the Implementation
Guide for the 830 rule and in DOE Standard 3009-94, chapter
six. DOE-G-421-1 also provides detailed program guidance
to criticality practitioners and reviewers.
