DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY

BOARD

Pursuant to the provisions of the

‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’ (5

U.S.C. § 552b), notice is hereby given of

the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety

Board’s (Board) meeting, described

below, regarding DOE’s standard-based

safety management program.

TIME AND DATE: May 31, 1995, 9:00 a.m.

PLACE: The Defense Nuclear Facilities

Safety Board, Public Hearing Room, 625

Indiana Avenue, NW, Suite 700,

Washington, DC 20004.

STATUS: Open.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: 42 U.S.C.

§ 2286b requires that the Board review

and evaluate the content and

implementation of standards relating to

the design, construction, operation, and

decommissioning of defense nuclear

facilities of the Department of Energy.

Those standards include rules, DOE

safety Orders, and other requirements.

The Board, acting pursuant to its

enabling statute, has issued a series of

Recommendations (most notably 90–2,

93–1, and 94–5) designed to foster the

development of an effective standardsbased nuclear safety program within

DOE. The Secretary of Energy has

accepted each of these

Recommendations. In the meantime,

DOE is engaged in a number of

initiatives designed to simplify existing

safety Orders and the promulgation of

new rules. The Secretary of Energy’s

commitment to implementing Board

recommendations calling for an

effective standards-based safety program

will require careful integration with

these recent DOE initiatives. The Board

will hold a public meeting to consider

the essential elements of a safety

management program that is standardsbased and to review DOE’s progress in

developing such a program.

CONTACT PERSON FOR MORE INFORMATION:

Kenneth M. Pusateri, General Manager,

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board,

625 Indian Avenue, NW, Suite 700,

Washington, DC 20004, (800) 788–4016.

This is a toll free number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board

has a responsibility for oversight of

DOE’s development of nuclear health

and safety requirements as the transition

is being made from the use of safety

Orders to rules. The Board understands

the reasons for development and

promulgation of nuclear safety

requirements through rulemaking and is

concerned that the conversion process

not compromise the requirements-based

safety program now embodied in the

DOE’s safety Orders. The Board’s most

recent effort to ensure that the ‘‘good

engineering practices’’ codified in

DOE’s safety Orders are maintained was

expressed in its Recommendation 94–5,

dated December 29, 1994. In that

Recommendation, the Board noted the

results of its review of selected DOE

contracts and DOE advisories and

stated, among other things, that:

The provisions [of these DOE contracts and

advisories by DOE management] indicate that

the integrated use of nuclear safety-related

Rules, Orders, standards and guides in

defining and executing DOE’s safety

management program may not be sufficiently

well understood by either the M & O

contractors or DOE managers. This issue was

raised in the Board’s letter of May 6, 1994 to

the Department of Energy.

Given the situation as described above, the

Board believes that further DOE actions are

needed to ensure that there is no relaxation

of commitments made to achieve compliance

with requirements in Orders while proposed

rules are undergoing the development

process. These actions should also provide

for smooth transition of Orders to rules once

promulgated.

Recommendation 94–5, in its entirety,

is on file in DOE’s Pubic Reading

Rooms, at the Defense Nuclear Facilities

Safety Board’s Washington office, and

on the Internet through access to the

Board’s electronic bulletin board at the

following address: gopher://

gopher.dnfsb.gov:7070. It is also set

forth in the Federal Register at 60 FR

2089.

In accord with the statute establishing

the Board, a public meeting will be

conducted to lay the groundwork for a

full assessment of how Standards/

Requirements Identification Documents

(S/RIDs), rules, Orders, and other safety

requirements are integrated into an

overall safety management program for

defense nuclear facilities. To assist the

Board and inform the public, individual

Board members will present their views,

and the Board’s staff will brief the Board

on related topics, including, but not

limited to:

1. Framework and Application of an

Integrated Safety Management Program

2. Standards-Based Safety

Management Practices at Selected DOE

Defense Nuclear Facilities

3. Regulatory Approaches to

Standards-Based Safety Management

4. Tailoring Standards-Based Safety

Management for R&D Activities

A transcript of this proceeding will be

made available by the Board for

inspection by the public at the Defense

Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’s

Washington office.

The Board also intends to notice and

conduct public hearings pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 2286b, at a later date, to assess

the Department of Energy’s (DOE)

progress in implementing an effective

standards-based safety program for

DOE’s defense nuclear facilities and to

assure that DOE’s activities in

streamlining DOE’s nuclear safety order

system and converting to a regulatory

program do not eliminate the

engineering practices now codified in

DOE’s safety Orders that are necessary

to adequately protect public health and

safety.

The Board reserves its right to further

schedule and otherwise regulate the

course of these meetings and hearings,

to recess, reconvene, postpone or

adjourn the meeting, and otherwise

exercise its power under the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Dated: May 15, 1995.

John T. Conway,

Chairman.
