The contents of this manual represent institutional knowledge derived from FMOC design, construction management, operations, and maintenance. To be more efficient and effective in managing SNL/NM's extensive construction and drawing files, refer to this manual first for design work.The manual is directed to you as a competent design professional and is not intended to be a detailed design handbook.The manual contains general requirements that apply to nonnuclear and nonexplosive facilities. For design and construction requirements for modifications to nuclear or explosive facilities, see the project-specific design requirements noted in the Design Criteria.The criteria and standards presented in the manual are those determined to be the minimum acceptable values necessary to result in system designs having satisfactory functional characteristics, durability,and operational suitability. You must strive for the best design to suit the circumstances involved, and the designs must reflect sound professional judgment at all times. In addition, you must coordinate design efforts with other project discipline design team members for an integrated site design approach.
