DOE-STD-1185-2007, DOE STANDARD NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE SAFETY STUDY FUNCTIONAL AREA QUALIFICATION STANDARD (SEP 2007)

DOE-STD-1185-2007, DOE STANDARD NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE SAFETY STUDY FUNCTIONAL AREA QUALIFICATION STANDARD (SEP 2007). A Nuclear Explosive Safety Study (NESS) is performed on all DOE Nuclear Explosive Operations (NEOs) in accordance with DOE Order (O) 452.2C Nuclear Explosive Safety, and DOE-STD-3015-2004, Nuclear Explosive Safety Evaluation Process. This qualification standard applies to Nuclear Explosive Safety Study Group (NESSG) members and chairs. Similar qualifications for non-Federal NESSG members are found in DOE-STD-3015-2004. The NESSG insures that the DOE nuclear explosive safety standards and criteria contained in DOE O 452.2C have been met before the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) approves NEOs.
