APPLICABILITY. A. Nuclear safety delegations that apply to Sections 2-7 are defined by the following: (1) Authorization Basis (includes approval of Safety Design Strategy (SDS), Conceptual Safety Design Report (CSDR) and Preliminary Safety Design Report (PSDR); approval documentation for the SDS, Conceptual Safety Validation report for the CSDR, and Preliminary Safety Validation report for the PSDR; Preliminary Documented Safety Analyses (DSA), DSA, Technical Safety Requirements, and Unreviewed Safety Question procedures; and Safety Evaluation Reports). (2) Startup and Restart of Nuclear and non-Nuclear Facilities including Accelerators and nuclear explosive operations (includes restart authority for Hazard Category 2 & 3 nuclear facilities and High Hazard non-nuclear facilities; startup authority for Hazard Category 3 nuclear facilities and High Hazard non-nuclear facilities; startup authority for new Hazard Category 2 facilities with a total project cost of less than $200 million1).

(3) Facility Safety (includes review and approval of implementation plans for nuclear and explosives safety design criteria; operations involving criticality hazards that require deviations from the double-contingency principle contained in ANSI/ANS 8.1 and required by DOE O 420.1B; implementation methods other than those in referenced implementation guides and standards; or the basis for exceptions to including multiple physical barriers to prevent or mitigate the unintended release of radioactive materials to the environment as part of the nuclear facility design in the DSA). B. Facility Safety delegations to approve exemptions from DOE O 420.1B requirements will no longer be approved and existing delegations will not be renewed for successors. C. The delegation process for other safety delegations included in the DOE FRAM or NNSA FRAM is described in Section 8. 2. REQUESTS FOR NUCLEAR SAFETY DELEGATIONS. A. In accordance with the Deputy Secretary’s direction, the appropriate Deputy Administrator can only delegate to individuals who meet the following criteria: (1) Those who are not prohibited by statute, DOE safety directives, or DOE safety rules. (2) Those who possess the necessary individual qualifications, experience, and expertise. a Authorization Basis delegations (defined in Section 1 of this procedure) shall not be delegated below the most senior level program officer or deputy at a field element office, unless concurrence is obtained from the applicable CTA. 1 Startup authority for new Hazard Category 2 facilities with a total project cost of less than $200 million can be delegated from NA-10 only after additional criteria defined in Section 4 are satisfied. See also Appendix B. Attachment 1 NNSA Safety Delegation Procedure 2 b Minimum individual requirements for the most senior level program officer at a field element office and his/her deputy include (1) Senior Technical Safety Manager qualification consistent with DOE-STD-1175, Senior Technical Safety Manager Functional Area Qualification Standard, and the Federal Technical Capability (DOE 426 and NA-1 426) series directives, and (2) successful completion of the one-week Nuclear Executive Leadership Training course. (3) When the candidate’s organization possesses the necessary staff with the necessary qualifications, experience, and expertise to support the candidate for the authorities being delegated. To meet this requirement, it is permissible for the candidate’s organization to rely on other DOE entities (e.g., NNSA Service Center, DOE-EM Field Office at Savannah River, etc.) to augment its staff, provided a documented agreement between the organizations is in place. (4) Where the candidate’s organization has the proper framework of processes and procedures, as well as adequate resources and funding to execute the delegated authorities. (5) Where delegations must be made (in rare cases) prior to the candidate fully satisfying the established criteria above, compensatory measures shall be established and implemented (see Section 5). B. For an individual to receive a new delegation(s), the Site Office Manager shall submit a memorandum to the appropriate Deputy Administrator requesting the specific delegation(s) for the identified individual(s) in accordance with the NNSA Delegation Nomination Form (Appendix A) to demonstrate the individual and organization meet the delegation criteria. Delegation requests should provide specific details on the conditions of the proposed delegation (e.g., delegation is for approval of revisions to DSA documents, delegation includes extended absences, etc.)

C. Individuals proposed for delegations shall meet the following minimum qualification expectations with consideration of experience submitted on the nomination form: Delegation Minimum Expectation Authorization Basis Qualified as Senior Technical Safety Manager (STSM) Complete Nuclear Executive Leadership Training Startup / Restart STSM Qualified Facility Safety STSM Qualified D. Site Office Managers may request startup authority for new Hazard Category 2 facilities with a total project cost of less than $200 million, provided the new facility is similar to other facilities already authorized to operate under the control and oversight of the Site Office Manager and the conditions established below are met (see also Appendix B): (1) The processes employed in the new facility are not significantly different from Attachment 1 NNSA Safety Delegation Procedure 3 those in other facilities at the same site that are currently authorized to operate. (2) The hazards posed by activities in the new facility are not significantly different from the hazards posed by activities in other facilities at the site that are currently authorized to operate. (3) The safety systems and controls, including administrative controls, cited in the DSA for the new facility are not significantly different from the safety systems and controls cited in the DSA for other facilities at the site that are currently authorized to operate. (4) Requests for delegated startup authority should be made to the appropriate Deputy Administrator addressing how the above conditions are met. Delegation Nomination Forms (Appendix A) may be submitted or cited for the proposed delegate. (5) Startup authority for Category 2 Nuclear Facilities shall not be delegated below the Site Office Manager without CTA concurrence. 3. HEADQUARTERS EVALUATION OF DELEGATION REQUESTS. A. Upon receipt of the delegation request, the appropriate Deputy Administrator shall conduct a thorough review of the delegation request to: (1) Ensure that the criteria listed in Section 2 are met, (2) Ensure that the individual’s minimum qualification expectations are met, and (3) Ensure that the individual’s nuclear safety experience is adequate. B. For those delegations requiring concurrence of the Central Technical Authority (CTA), the delegation request shall be sent by the appropriate Deputy Administrator to the CTA for concurrence, prior to the Deputy Administrator’s final approval. Delegations requiring CTA concurrence include: (1) Authorization Basis delegations to individuals below the Site Office Manager or Deputy; (2) Delegations with compensatory measures (as described in section 5); and (3) Restart delegations for Hazard Category 2 nuclear facilities and startup for Hazard Category 3 nuclear facilities to individuals below the Site Office Manager or Deputy2. C. A minimum of two senior managers within the Deputy Administrator’s organization shall concur on the delegation request prior to approval. For NA-10, the two senior managers typically include the Assistant Deputy Administrator for Nuclear Safety and Operations (NA-17) and either the Assistant Deputy Administrator for Science, Engineering & 2 CTA concurrence for delegation of startup/restart authority below the Site Office Manager or Deputy is not required per the Deputy Secretary criteria, but is additionally applied. Attachment 1 NNSA Safety Delegation Procedure 4 Production (NA-12) or the Principal Deputy Administrator for Military Applications (NA-10).

D. Once a delegation is approved, delegations remain in effect as long as the delegate maintains the position and qualifications, and the Site Office capacities and capabilities remain adequate to support the delegate in the execution of the safety authorities. (Site Office capabilities discussed in section 6). 4. RE-DELEGATIONS. A. Re-delegations below the Site Office Manager or Deputy require CTA concurrence for those nuclear safety delegations listed in Section 1.A. B. Authorization authority for startup of new Hazard Category 2 nuclear facilities is not to be re-delegated from the Site Office Manager. C. Re-delegations can only be made to specific individuals, and not to organizational positions. Non-approved individuals may not execute safety authorities while in an acting capacity for the delegate. 5. COMPENSATORY MEASURES. A. The criterion in Section 2.A(5) permits compensatory measures in rare cases. Delegations requiring compensatory measures require CTA concurrence (Section 3.B.2). B. Site Office Managers shall specify in their request how compensatory measures will be implemented. General expectations include: (1) Where neither the Site Office Manager nor the Deputy has a technical background, the primary compensatory measure is concurrence from a senior Site Office person with technical qualifications that are relevant to the delegated authority. (2) When disagreement on a specific approval exists between the delegated authority and the person designated as a compensatory measure, the NNSA Differing Professional Opinion (DPO) process should be implemented. (3) When agreement cannot be reached at the Site Office level, the Site Office Manager should initiate a DPO proposing the Appropriate Deputy Administrator decide on the action. (4) Where NNSA biennial reviews indicate a need for improvement in the functional area associated with a delegated authority, compensatory measures for the identified issues will be determined on a case-by-case basis. C. Site Offices shall ensure the compensatory measures are documented each time the delegated authority is executed and may determine their own methods for documenting the application of the compensatory measure. Attachment 1 NNSA Safety Delegation Procedure 5 6. SITE CAPABILITY. A. The criteria in Section 2.A(3) and 2.A(4) relate to the capabilities of the delegate’s Site Office. These criteria shall be addressed in sufficient detail to allow the Deputy Administrator to approve the delegation. B. One acceptable method for addressing site capabilities in the Delegation Nomination Forms is to cite the applicable results from the most recent NNSA biennial review of the Site Office performed by the Office of the Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety (CDNS). These reviews include thorough reviews of nuclear safety in the functional areas for startup/restart, integrated safety management, safety basis, and other functional areas supporting facility safety; including an analysis of the sites’ capabilities. Documentation requirements for citing the NNSA biennial review results are as follows: Functional Area Result Documentation Requirements Exceeds Expectations Simple citation of NNSA biennial review result and date of review – no further documentation required. Meets Expectations Simple citation of NNSA biennial review result and date of review – no further documentation required. Needs Improvement Citation of the NNSA biennial review results and a short narrative describing extent, severity of the noncompliance and status of corrective actions

Does Not Meet Expectations A thorough discussion of issues identified by the NNSA biennial review and description/discussion of corrective actions, including an analysis of the effectiveness and completion status of corrective actions. C. In lieu of using results of the NNSA biennial reviews, sites shall provide adequate documentation to demonstrate the office has adequate capability to support the delegate in the execution of safety authorities. 7. ASSESSMENTS. A. The Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety shall perform periodic reviews of Site Offices and Headquarters elements to verify those individuals and their organizations have maintained the necessary capability to carry out assigned safety responsibilities or delegated safety authorities. B. The assessments shall be based on the following criteria: (1) Individuals, and their organizations to whom safety responsibilities are assigned, possess the necessary qualifications, experience, and expertise to carry out those responsibilities; Attachment 1 NNSA Safety Delegation Procedure 6 (2) Organizations with safety responsibilities have the proper processes and procedures to implement the assigned responsibilities; and, (3) Organizations with safety responsibilities have adequate resources, including sufficient staff and funding, to carry out assigned responsibilities. C. Compensatory measures, corrective actions, or rescinding of approvals shall be instituted, as necessary if the necessary capability to carry out assigned safety responsibilities or delegated safety authorities falls below established criteria or is found lacking. D. For NA-10, the Office of Safety (NA-171) shall participate in NNSA biennial reviews of Site Offices to evaluate, among other functional areas, nuclear safety delegations. E. NA-20 will designate an individual to perform this function for NA-20 delegations. F. Sites shall ensure their qualifications, procedures/processes, and capabilities and capacities are maintained so that delegated authorities can be properly carried out. Per DOE O226.1 requirements and other evaluations (e.g. ISMS verifications), sites shall periodically conduct self-assessments of areas related to delegation and shall take appropriate steps to correct any identified issues. 8. DELEGATION OF OTHER SAFETY AUTHORITIES. In addition to the delegations identified in Section 1, the NNSA FRAM and DOE FRAM permit other delegations from Headquarters to the field. When permitted, delegation of responsibilities from DOE directives listed in DOE O 410.1, Central Technical Authority Responsibilities Regarding Nuclear Safety Requirements, Attachment 1, shall follow this procedure. It is the responsibility of each Site Office Manager to ensure: A. adequate capabilities/capacities are maintained to execute the delegated authority and periodically reviewed; B. re-delegations are documented and made to individuals who meet requirements specified in source directives; C. delegations and re-delegations are maintained with an up-to-date list of delegations. 9. RESCINDING DELEGATIONS. A. The delegations are automatically rescinded under the following conditions: (1) The delegate transfers, retires, or otherwise leaves the site/position for which the delegated authority is defined; (2) The delegate fails to maintain required qualifications; (3) The site capability is found to be inadequate to implement the delegated authority; or (4) For Cause.

B. In the event that an individual’s delegation is rescinded or otherwise invalid and no other Attachment 1 NNSA Safety Delegation Procedure 7 individual at the site has received the delegated authority, the delegated authority automatically reverts to NA-10/20. 10. MAINTENANCE OF DELEGATION RECORDS. A. For NA-10, the Office of Safety (NA-171) shall maintain a delegation database, documenting the delegations covered in Section 1 of this procedure. B. NA-20 shall designate an individual to perform this function for NA-20 delegations. C. The Site Office Manager shall notify the Assistant Deputy Administrator for Safety and Operations (NA-17) of any changes in delegation status (e.g., reassignment of a delegation, retirement of a delegate, delegate losing qualification status, etc.).
