DOE Packaging Certification Program
Assist Team Charter
The Department of Energy (DOE) Packaging Certification Program
(PCP), per DOE Order 460.1C, Section 5. a., is responsible to administer a DOE
program for certification of fissile and Type B packagings, which includes
providing guidance for the preparation of Safety Analysis Reports for Packaging
(SARP). The PCP charters applicant assist teams from DOE
National Laboratories to work in an advisory role with DOE SARP applicants
and the PCP designated technical review team. The assist team functions as
an independent third party, and is free to interface with both the
applicant and review team, to focus on programmatic and technical issues
relevant to specific packaging certification concerns. The PCP teams can
provide technical assistance, as needed, to the applicant in
transportation operations, QA, reviews and confirmatory analysis to
ensure safe, compliant DOE shipments of radioactive materials.
