Program for Documenting the Criticality Safety Basis for Operations in a Research and Development Facility Consistent with New Regulatory Requirements
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
- Parallax, Inc., Santa Barbara, CA (United States)
A program was developed and implemented at LLNL to provide more detailed, documented Criticality Safety Evaluations of operations in an R&D facility. The new Criticality Safety evaluations were consistent with regulatory requirements of the then new DOE Order 5480.24, Nuclear Criticality Safety. The evaluations provide a criticality safety basis for each operation in the facility in support of the facility Safety Analysis Report. This implementation program provided a transition from one method of conducting and documenting Criticality Safety Evaluations to a new method consistent with new regulatory requirements. The program also allowed continued safe operation of the facility while the new implementation level Criticality Safety Evaluations were developed.
