Specific Administrative Controls
Replaced by DOE-STD-1186-2016

This Standard provides guidance applicable to that are selected to provide preventive and/or mitigative functions for specific potential accident scenarios, and which, also have safety importance equivalent to engineered controls that would be classified as Safety Class (SC) or Safety Significant (SS) if the engineered controls were available and selected. This class of AC is designated as Specific Administrative Controls (SAC).

Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability
CHANGE NOTICE No. 2 (DECEMBER 2012)

This document describes establishing and maintaining a Material Control and Accountability (MC&A) program, where each MC&A program element is a part of a quality MC&A program. Each site/facility operator needs to establish a sustainable, effective graded safeguards program for the control and accounting of nuclear materials to detect and deter theft and diversion, and to prevent the unauthorized control of a weapon, test device, or materials that can be used to make an improvised nuclear device.

Backup Power Sources For DOE Facilities
Superseding DOE-STD-3003-94 (September 1994)

The purpose of this Standard is to document good engineering practices for the installation, testing, and maintenance of BACKUP POWER SOURCES at DOE facilities. The term "BACKUP POWER SOURCES" as used in this Standard covers both "emergency" and "backup" power applications.

Planning and Conduct of Operation Readiness Reviews
Replaced by DOE-STD-3006-2000

DOE 0 425.1 specifies the conditions and circumstances when an Operational Readiness Review (ORR) or a Readiness Assessment (RA) is required as part of a new start or restart process. This standard provides guidance on the planning and conduct of the Operational Readiness Reviews. This standard also provides guidance for requesting exemptions. The requirements for ORRs and RAs apply both to responsible contractors and to DOE. This standard addresses the requirements and suggests methods and approaches for both.

Preparation Guide for U.S. Department of Energy Nonreactor Nuclear Facility Documented Safety Analyses
CHANGE NOTICE NO.1 (January 2000) | CHANGE NOTICE NO. 2 (April 2002) | CHANGE NOTICE NO. 3 (March 2006) | Replaced by DOE-STD-3009-2014 (November 2014)

This Standard describes a DSA preparation method that is acceptable to the DOE as delineated for those specific facilities listed in Table 2 of Appendix A, “General Statement of Safety Basis Policy”, to Subpart B, “Safety Basis Requirements”, of 10 CFR 830. It was developed to assist Hazard Category 2 and 3 facilities in preparing SARs that will satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 830.

Guidance for Preparation of Basis for Interim Operation (BIO) Documents

Superseding DOE-STD-3011-94 (November 1994)

This Standard provides a Department of Energy (DOE) approved methodology for preparing a Basis for Interim Operation (BIO) document.

Stabilization, Packaging, and Storage of Plutonium-Bearing Materials
Replaced by DOE-STD-3013-2012 | Superseding DOE-STD-3013-2000 (September 2000)

This Standard provides criteria for stabilization of plutonium-bearing materials at DOE facilities to safe and stable forms that can be packaged and placed in storage with minimal surveillance for up to 50 years. This Standard applies to plutonium-bearing metals and oxides containing at least 30 wt% plutonium plus uranium.

Nuclear Explosive Safety Evaluation Process
Cancelled

This technical standard provides specific information regarding nuclear explosive safety studies (NESSs), operational safety reviews (OSRs), and nuclear explosive safety change evaluations (NCEs) and is in accordance with DOE O 452.2, Safety of Nuclear Explosive Operations.

Specification for HEPA Filters used by DOE Contractors
Supersedes DOE NE F3-45 (January 1987) | Replaced by DOE-STD-3020-2005

This standard establishes specification and testing requirements for High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters procured to provide personnel and environmental protection when installed in DOE nuclear facilities. The standard specifies minimum requirements to be included in contractor specifications.

Content of System Design Descriptions

This section provides background information concerning the purpose and functions of System Design Descriptions (SDDs) and the use of this standard in preparing SDDs. This section has been formatted differently from the main body of this standard, which starts on page 1 with the outline for an SDD.

Filter Test Facility Quality Program Plan
Superseding DOE NE F 3-44 July 1986

This standard was developed primarily for application in U.S. Department of Energy programs. It contains specific direction for HEPA filter testing performed at a DOE-accepted HEPA Filter Test Facility (FTF). Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data that may improve this document should be sent to the Office of Nuclear Safety Policy and Standards (EH-31), U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, D.C. 20585, by letter or by using the self-addressed Document Improvement Proposal form (DOE F 1300.3) appearing at the end of this document.

EM Health and Safety Plan Guidelines
Canceled, Effective October 2001, due to FY 2001 Sunset Review

These guidelines have been developed by a working group consisting of both field and headquarters personnel to provide new direction to the EM-40 program in the preparation of sitespecific Health and Safety Plans (HASPs). While based on the minimum requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), and DOE orders, these guidelines have been developed with the express purpose of implementing a high quality safety and health program.
