1.  *Resource Loaded Schedule*. For selected Work Breakdown Structure
    elements (typically, those constituting significant cost and/ or
    risk), summarize the detailed basis for the cost estimate and
    schedule duration. Assess the method of estimation and the magnitude
    for each Work Breakdown Structure element reviewed. Identify and
    assess key cost and schedule assumptions and evaluate the
    reasonableness of these assumptions as related to the quality of the
    cost and schedule estimates. Identify specific work activity that
    constitutes project completion and whether these completion
    activities are sufficiently well defined. Include an assessment of
    whether the project completion activities are consistent with DOE
    guidance for work to be included/ excluded from the Project. Assess
    whether the project funding profile is consistent with the resource
    loaded schedule.

2.  *Key Project Cost and Schedule Assumptions*. Identify and assess key
    cost and schedule assumptions and evaluate the reasonableness of
    these assumptions as related to the quality of the cost and schedule
    estimates for each WBS. Assess cost and schedule contingency and
    other cost and schedule factors related to TPC and the project
    completion schedule. Ensure that the TPC and project completion date
    incorporates all activities necessary to successfully complete the
    project.

3.  *Critical Path.* Review the Critical Path schedule and assess
    whether the Critical Path is reasonably defined and whether the
    schedule is integrated and reflects reasonable schedule durations.

4.  *Funding Profile.* Assess whether the project funding profile is
    consistent with the resource loaded schedule.

5.  *Work Breakdown Structure.* Assess whether the Work Breakdown
    Structure incorporates all project work, and whether it represents a
    reasonable breakdown of the project work scope. Assess whether the
    resource loaded schedule is consistent with Work Breakdown Structure
    for the project work scope.

6.  *Risk Management*. Determine if risks have been identified and
    properly classified as high, medium, and low. Assess whether
    appropriate risk mitigation actions have been incorporated into the
    baseline. Assess whether adequate contingency has been included in
    Total Project Costs and Schedule. Describe the approaches used to
    determine risk and assess adequacy.

7.  *Basis of Design*. Evaluate adequacy of preliminary design including
    adequacy of drawings and specifications, and assess whether they are
    consistent with system functions and requirements. Assess whether
    all safety Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) are
    incorporated into the preliminary design.

8.  *Design Review*. Review results of the preliminary design review and
    assess whether additional work identified in the design review has
    been incorporated into the Performance Baseline.

9.  *System Functions and Requirements*. Assess whether "design to"
    functions and requirements are reflected in the baseline, including
    safety and external requirements such as permits, licenses, and
    regulatory approvals. Evaluate whether system requirements are
    derived from and consistent with Mission Need.

10. *Hazards Analysis*. Evaluate the quality of the Hazard Analysis and
    assess whether all scope, schedule, and costs necessary for safety
    are incorporated into the baseline. Review the classification of
    SSCs as safety class or safety significant. Assess the Hazards
    Analysis process, including the use of internal and external safety
    reviews. Review any Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board and/or
    Nuclear Regulatory Commission interface and discuss the status of
    their involvement.

11. *Value Management/Engineering*. Assess the applicability of Value
    Management/Engineering, and whether a Value Engineering analysis
    been performed with results being incorporated into the baseline.
    Also provide an assessment of the Value Engineering process for this
    project.

12. *Project Controls/Earned Value Management System*. Assess whether
    all project control systems and reporting requirements will be in
    place prior to Critical Decision-2. For projects where Earned Value
    Management System is not required, assess the adequacy of an
    alternate project control system for monitoring and controlling
    project costs and schedules.

13. *Project Execution Plan*. Review the Project Execution Plan and
    determine if it reflects and supports the way the project is being
    managed, is consistent with the other project documents, and
    establishes a plan for successful execution of the project.

14. *Start*-*up Test Plan*. Assess whether the start-up test plan
    identifies the acceptance and operational system tests required to
    demonstrate that system meets design operational specifications, and
    safety requirements. Review key tests to ensure that sufficient
    description is provided to estimate cost and schedule durations
    associated with these tests.

15. *Acquisition Strategy*. Review the Acquisition Strategy to determine
    if it is consistent with the way the project is being executed. The
    Review Team should evaluate any changes from Critical Decision-1
    that may impact whether the current strategy represents best value
    to the government.

*16. Integrated Project Team*. Assess whether the project management
staffing level is appropriate, and determine if appropriate disciplines
are included in the Integrated Project Team. Identify any deficiencies
in the Integrated Project Team that could hinder successful execution of
the project. Required Documentation.
