Facility
This field is available to users who are searching for information on one
particular facility, e.g., the Defense Waste Processing Facility.
Because there are many variations on the way individuals refer to a
facility, SBIS will search for like-names or pseudonyms. For example, a
search of "RBOF" would locate the Receiving Basin for Offsite
Fuels. Because there are so
many facility names, a pull-down menu is not provided for this field.
However, a corresponding help button provides a list of all
facilities currently listed in the database.
Operations
Office
This field helps users locate information on one or more facilities
managed by a particular DOE Operations Office, e.g., the Albuquerque
Operations Office. A
built-in, pull-down menu provides a list of all DOE Operations Offices.
To see the menu, click on the down arrow to the right of the entry
box. To select an Operations
Office from the list, click on your selection.
Site
Location
This field helps users locate information on one or more facilities
located at a particular DOE site, e.g., the Savannah River Site.
A built-in,
pull-down menu provides a list of all DOE sites on this database.
To see the menu, click on the down arrow to the right of the entry
box. To select a Site
Location from the list, click on your selection.
Approval
Status
This field helps users locate information on one or more facilities based
on the approval status of a facility’s Safety Basis. The statuses include "under development" or UD,
where a safety basis is still being written and reviewed, and
"approved under the rule" or AUR, where the safety basis has
been updated to meet the provisions of 10 CFR Part 830, Subpart B and
reviewed and approved by DOE. We have also included two interim statuses
between "development" and "approved under the rule" to help our
management track the progress of updating the safety basis. Many of our
facilities and activities already have safety bases that were developed to
meet earlier requirements and they are operating to these safety bases
while they are updating the safety bases to meet the requirements in 10
CFR Part 830, Subpart B.
The Approval
Status is entered using one of four codes as follows:
UD for
"Under Development"
This
code applies to facilities that do not yet have a functional Safety Basis.
It is not used for a facility that had a functional safety basis as
of October 10, 2000, or has a safety basis that was approved by DOE after
October 10, 2000. The rule
requires all DOE hazard category 1, 2, or 3 nuclear facilities to have
submitted a safety basis to DOE for approval by April 10, 2003.
Consequently, this code is not used for approval status after that
date, unless the facility has an exemption under the provisions of 10 CFR
820, Subpart E. If an
exemption has been granted by DOE, the approval status will note that fact
by placing a “EX” after the approval status code.
UMR
for "Operating Safety Basis Pending Update to Meet the Rule"
This code applies to:
·
Safety Bases that have been submitted to DOE, have not yet been
updated to meet 10 CFR Part 830, and have not yet been approved by DOE;
·
Safety Bases that were approved under the provisions of DOE Order
5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis, or other contract requirements,
but have not been approved by DOE under the rule; and
·
Safety Bases that were approved by DOE for use under the provisions
of 10 CFR part 830.207(b), but have not been updated to meet all of the
applicable provisions of Subpart B of 10 CFR Part 830.
SBPA
for "Operating Safety Basis Pending Approval Under the Rule."
This code applies to safety bases that have been updated to meet the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 830 and submitted to DOE, but have not yet
been approved by DOE.
AUR
for Approved Under the Rule.
This code applies to Safety Bases that have been approved by DOE
under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 830.207 (a).
Program
Office
This field helps users locate information on one or more facilities or
activities based on the cognizant DOE Headquarters Program Office
responsible for the facility. There
are five DOE Program Offices provided in SBIS:
- The
Office of Defense Programs (DP) (searching this office will also
result in facilities governed by the Office of National Nuclear
Security Administration or NNSA),
- The
Office of Environmental Management (EM),
- The
Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology (NE),
- The
Office of Science (SC), and
- The
Office of Security and Emergency Operations (SO).
This field has a
built-in, pull-down menu. To
see the list, click on the down arrow to the right of the entry box.
To select a Program Office from the list, click on your selection.
Hazard
Category
10
CFR Part 830 requires contractors and operators to categorize their
nuclear facilities in accordance with DOE Standard (STD) 1027, Hazard
Categorization and Accident Analysis Techniques for Compliance with DOE
Order 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports.
DOE nuclear facilities are categorized as hazard category 1, 2, or
3, or below hazard category 3. Nuclear
facilities whose hazards are categorized as below hazard category 3 are
not subject to the Safety Basis requirements in 10 CFR Part 830 and,
consequently, they are not included in this database.
This
field has a built-in, pull-down menu.
To see the list, click on the down arrow to the right of the entry
box. To select a hazard
category from the list, click on your selection.
