DOE-STD-1027-92 (CHANGE NOTICE 1), DOE STANDARD HAZARD CATEGORIZATION AND ACCIDENT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR COMPLIANCE WITH DOE ORDER 5480.23, NUCLEAR SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORTS. The purpose of this DOE Standard is to establish guidance for the preparation and review of hazard categorization and accident analyses techniques as required in DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports. This new Order requires further guidance to ensure consistency across all nuclear facilities within the DOE complex. This DOE Standard imposes no new requirements on nuclear facilities. Instead, it focuses on (1) the definition of the standard identifying nuclear facilities required to have SARs in order to comply with the Order, (2) the SAR implementation plan and schedule, (3) the hazard categorization methodology to be applied to all facilities, and (4) the accident analysis techniques appropriate for the graded approach addressed in the Order. DOE Order 5480.23 and its attached guidance document provide some direction on the use of the graded approach. This report is intended not to supersede that direction, but to supplement and clarify it. Methods other than those suggested in this guide may be considered for applying the graded approach, but they must be justified whenever grading is applied.
