APPLICABILITY. a. Federal. This policy applies to all NNSA Elements with nuclear safety responsibilities or delegated nuclear safety authorities. b. Contractors. Does not apply to contractors. c. Equivalency. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 United States Code sections 2406 and 2511, and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy/DOE Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors (Director) will implement and oversee requirements and practices pertaining to this directive for activities under the Director’s cognizance, as deemed appropriate. 5. SUMMARY OF CHANGES. a. Updates the office of primary interest. b. Updates and expands the list of requirements (e.g., delegations, reviews, self- assessments). c. Updates and expands the list of responsibilities of the NNSA Office of Environment, Safety, and Health (NA-ESH). d. Updates the contact information to reflect safety management functions within NA-ESH. e.

Section 2

d. Delegations must only be made where the candidate’s organization possesses or has access to sufficient staff (e.g., NA-ESH) with the necessary qualifications, experience/expertise (capability/ capacity) to support the candidate for the authorities being delegated.
