1.0 Introductions
This subject area (SA) outlines the process for reviewing and obtaining approval of safety documentation pursuant to 10 CFR 830, Subpart B, Safety Basis Requirements for nuclear facilities and DOE O 420.2C, Safety of Accelerator Facilities, for accelerator facilities. Additionally, the SA delineates the roles, responsibilities and authorities for startup, restart, and oversight of nuclear and accelerator facilities.
2.0 Contents
Detailed procedures containing guidance for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) review and approval of facility safety documentation and DOE’s involvement, authorization, and oversight of the startup, restart, and operation of nuclear and accelerator facilities are summarized below:
