Requirements Subpart B of 10 CFR Part 830, Nuclear Safety Management, requires contractors and operators of DOE nuclear facilities that meet the threshold for hazard category 1, 2, or 3 to develop and maintain a Safety Basis and to perform work in accordance with that Safety Basis. The major components of the safety basis for a nuclear facility include the Documented Safety Analysis or DSA and the TSRs.

Read 10 CFR Part 830, Nuclear Safety Management to see the requirements for TSRs for Contractors and operators of hazard category 1, 2, and 3 DOE nuclear facilities. Specific requirements for TSRs are in Section 830.205 of the rule.

Guidance Read DOE G 423.1-1, Implementation Guide for Use in Developing Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) on our Directives Web Page for guidance on how to apply the rule requirements for TSRs.
