# PURPOSE AND SCOPE

> (6.1.1. 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4)
>
> This plan describes the Tank Farm Contractor (TFC) Startup and Testing
> Program. The Startup and Testing Program provides CH2M HILL Hanford
> Group, Inc. (CH2M HILL) tools for demonstrating the ability to safely
> operate new or modified systems or activities by managing the
> processes of Testing, Project Turnover and Operational Readiness. This
> plan includes the functions, responsibilities, and authorities of the
> Startup and Testing organization.

# IMPLEMENTATION

> Implementation of this plan is effective on the date shown in the
> header. Implementation of the Startup and Testing Program, as
> described in this plan and in the implementing plans and procedures,
> ensures that new or modified activities or operations have been tested
> as required, subjected to a rigorous turnover process, and are
> prepared in all aspects to be operated safely.

# RESPONSIBILITIES

## Startup and Testing Director

##  {#section .unnumbered}

> The Startup and Testing Director ensures that the Startup and Testing
> Program meets the goals and objectives of the River Protection Project
> based on established program scope, schedule, and cost baseline. The
> director ensures that testing, project turnover and operational
> readiness are performed in compliance with applicable codes, orders,
> and implementing procedures.

## Testing Manager

> The Testing manager ensures the Testing program is executed in
> accordance with the requirements of
> [TFC-PLN-26](http://idmsweb/idmsprod/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=3425926&objAction=Open&viewType=1).

## Project Turnover Manager

> The Project Turnover manager ensures the Project Turnover program is
> executed in accordance with the requirements of
> [TFC-PLN-72](http://idmsweb/idmsprod/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=6428953&objAction=Open&viewType=1).

## Operational Readiness Manager

> The Operational Readiness manager ensures the Operational Readiness
> program is executed in accordance with the requirements of
> [TFC-PLN-16](http://idmsweb/idmsprod/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=5164924&objAction=Open&viewType=1).

# PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

> The following sections provide the individual descriptions of the
> Test, Project Turnover and Operational Readiness programs.

## Test Program

> The Testing organization performs the testing of new or modified
> structures, systems, and components (SSCs) which are important to
> environmental protection, health and safety of personnel, and supports
> the mission of CH2M HILL. The term SSCs, as used in this plan and
> supporting procedures, is not limited to the classifications of safety
> class and safety significant items. The Testing Program ensures that
> new or modified SSCs are capable of fully meeting their design
> requirements. It also ensures that the testing performed to validate
> this capability is documented in a manner that fully supports CH2M
> HILL's readiness activities consistent with graded approach
> considerations.
> [TFC-PLN-26](http://idmsweb/idmsprod/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=3425926&objAction=Open&viewType=1)
> provides an overview of the program and procedures implemented by the
> TFC to ensure proper testing of new or modified SSCs.

## Project Turnover

> The Project Turnover organization performs support functions to ensure
> an orderly turnover of SSCs and supporting documentation from
> Construction and Engineering to Operations in accordance with DOE O
> 413.3. Support activities include development of the changes and
> additions to the safety equipment list and master equipment list,
> instrument list, spare parts list, and drawing matrices for facility
> or project as-built drawings. The turnover group also coordinates the
> support activities of Operations personnel with those of the Training
> & Procedures organization to ensure maintenance and operating
> procedures are developed, along with training materials.
> [TFC-PLN-72](http://idmsweb/idmsprod/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=6428953&objAction=Open&viewType=1)
> provides an overview of the program and procedures implemented by the
> TFC to achieve an orderly and complete turnover of SSCs from
> construction to operations.

## Operational Readiness

> The goal of the Operational Readiness Program is to ensure that the
> authorization basis, facilities, personnel, equipment, and procedures
> are ready to support safe conduct of the activity. The Operational
> Readiness Program consists of two distinct paths, achieving readiness
> and the readiness review process.
> [TFC-PLN-16](http://idmsweb/idmsprod/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=5164924&objAction=Open&viewType=1)
> provides an overview of the programs and procedures implemented by TFC
> to ensure readiness to safely operate has been achieved.
>
> Achievement of operational readiness is required prior to commencement
> of an activity and **must** be accomplished whether or not a readiness
> review, in accordance with the requirements of DOE Order 425.1B, is
> required.
>
> After achievement of readiness has been accomplished, formal readiness
> reviews will be conducted, when required, in accordance with DOE Order
> 425.1B. Readiness reviews are not intended to be a management tool to
> achieve readiness. The purpose of a readiness review is to confirm a
> nuclear facility's "state of readiness" for safe startup or restart.
