General safety guidelines for the design of high-hazard (non-reactor) facilities at Rocky Flats Plant
This document provides guidance in the identification of safety- related systems and equipment, their safety classification, and the applicability of requirements that shall be used in the design, construction, fabrication, and procurement of these items. As such, this document is geared to the designer and the safety analyst. First, general safety criteria that serve as the bases for all safety classification are presented, as well as the development of the safety classification scheme and its relation to existing Department of Energy (DOE) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) practices. Given next are detailed safety guidelines on the design of typical safety-related systems in high-hazard facilities at Rocky Flats Plant (RFP) and an implementation of the safety classification. The engineer or safety analyst interested in the implementation of the safety classification may wish to turn first to the Appendix, which resembles a Q-list'' in nuclear power plants, and in which the safety classification, quality, seismic, and redundancy requirements are given for the most common systems and equipment at RFP. This Appendix should be used as a basis for developing similar Q-lists for all high-hazard facilities at RFP. Improper use or misinterpretation of this guidance could result in unnecessary stringent system requirements that will lead to over-cost and over-design (e.g., complexity) of such systems or, conversely, in insufficient requirements resulting in a poor design of a system or facility, therefore jeopardizing safety. 85 refs., 2 figs., 6 tabs.
