6. BACKGROUND. This SD describes NNSA senior management, Headquarters (HQ), and Field Office Manager (FOM) functions, responsibilities, and authorities related to safety management. NNSA requirements regarding organizational accountability for safety management derived from DOE directives or NNSA SDs and other assignments and delegations made by the Administrator are also listed in this SD. Specific references to such directives found in this SD, refer to the latest approved revision of the directive or its successor directive as applicable to NNSA activities. The appendixes contain references, acronyms, and NNSA’s Integrated Safety Management System Description (ISMSD). DOE line management refers to the unbroken chain of responsibility that extends from the Secretary of Energy to the Deputy Secretary, to the secretarial officers (Administrator or designee), to the program and functional managers and FOMs who are responsible for mission and program execution (see DOE O 226.1, Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy, and NNSA SD 226.1, NNSA Site Governance). The FOMs report directly to the Administrator. The Administrator is supported by the Central Technical Authority (CTA) and the Cognizant Secretarial Officer for Safety (CSO), who maintain operational awareness on safety matters, provide technical support to the FOMs, and assist the FOMs in maintaining a consistent application of nuclear and non-nuclear safety requirements. The CSO also executes, on behalf of the Administrator, the line management function for safety matters. The CTA, on behalf of the Administrator, ensures situational awareness of nuclear safety matters across the Enterprise. Program interface with the field offices takes place through the appropriate Deputy Administrator or Associate Administrator. Federal oversight of the contractor is accomplished as close to the work, as practical, as required by DOE O 226.1 and NNSA SD 226.1, and with the responsibilities indicated in this SD. Safety management responsibility for work done by DOE and other non-NNSA tenant activities remains with NNSA’s line management (a landlord function) and should be communicated by NNSA to non-NNSA tenants. For projects executed through non- Management and Operating (M&O) contracts, the work done at a site must be performed within the safety envelope approved by the FOM as delegated and, in some cases, as further delegated. Formal stop work authority normally resides with the FOM and Contracting Officer (CO), but all NNSA personnel have authority (and are expected) to stop or pause unsafe or unsecure activities. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. NNSA SD 450.2B 3 04-23-21 Line managers bear full responsibility for achieving assigned program objectives in a manner that is safe and legally, ethically, and fiscally responsible. Primary authority rests with the lowest line manager responsible for directing all the resources needed to meet a specific requirement or objective. In most cases, this is a FOM, but, consistent with the tiered risk decision-making authority, it may be an HQ line manager. Responsibility is retained by the delegator, and authority may be delegated to the extent feasible, based upon the delegator’s discretion that the receiver has the capability to accomplish the task. Specific directives may limit the extent of re-delegation.

Overall safety of NNSA’s sites and activities is ensured through site stewardship of nuclear and non-nuclear safety, and environment, safety, and health (ES&H) functions. The Administrator has delegated most of the line management accountability for ES&H to the field and program offices, but retains responsibility. In the case of nuclear safety, the Administrator retains the line management responsibility for establishing policy and requirements at the HQ level, but delegates the responsibility for implementing standards to the field and programmatic level. Each organization within NNSA is specifically addressed in this SD and is responsible for establishing and documenting how the specific functions and authorities assigned in this SD are implemented. Each field office must prepare and maintain a signed FRA document to further define and assign its safety management functions as necessary. 7. REQUIREMENTS. a. NNSA managers assigned safety management functions, responsibilities, or authorities in this SD must develop implementing procedures for their assigned safety management functions. It is recommended that organizations with multi- program secretarial missions establish memoranda of agreement (MOAs) with delegation listings included as needed. b. When organizations reorganize or responsibilities change that affect this SD, the Office of Safety, Infrastructure and Operations (NA-50) must be notified by the affected organization. The affected organization must work with the Office of Policy and Strategic Planning (NA-1.1) and NA-50 to prepare the required page change documents to update this SD, in accordance with NNSA SD 251.1, Directives Management, or successor directive. 8.

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Leadership’s expectations for safety and performance are established in policies, directives, and implementing guidance documents. The requirements for a documented Integrated Safety Management (ISM) System Description are established in DOE Order 450.2, Integrated Safety Management. Appendix 4, of NAP-414.1, Quality Management System (QMS), provides a high level description of the NNSA Management System. Consistent with the approach used in the QMS, this document provides a high level description of NNSA Management Systems without reproducing the information provided in the policies, directives, or implementing guidance documents. Applicable requirements will be referenced as necessary. 2. PURPOSE. The NNSA ISMSD identifies the NNSA Headquarters (HQ) role in establishing expectations and accomplishing work in a safe and environmentally sound manner while executing the NNSA mission and strategic objectives. This NNSA ISMSD accomplishes the following: • Emphasizes the strong support and personal commitment of NNSA senior managers to implement the Policy and Principles of ISM • Describes how NNSA HQ defines its work activities related to achieving the ISM objective of safe mission accomplishment • Describes the specific NNSA Management Systems that ensure ISM core functions and guiding principles are effectively implemented • Recognizes the Contractor Performance Evaluation Process (CPEP) as the method to set safety performance objectives, measures, and commitments that NNSA HQ currently uses to gauge the effectiveness of its ISM System 3. SCOPE The scope of this ISMSD includes the unbroken chain of responsibility (NNSA Line Management) that extends from the NNSA Administrator to the Program and Functional Managers and Field Office Managers who are responsible for mission and program execution. 4. ORGANIZATION. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing; works to reduce the global danger from Appendix B NNSA SD 450.2B APB-2 04-23-21 weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad. NNSA manages the mission from Headquarters organizations in Washington, DC; Germantown, MD; and Albuquerque, NM; and field offices across the country. The following chart illustrates the NNSA organizational structure (figure 1). Figure 1 5. NNSA FEDERAL FUNCTIONS. NNSA management’s role in assuring safety is defined in the mission and function statements of the Line Management Organizations (as defined in DOE O 450.2, Integrated Safety Management) and is carried out by the federal staff so that it is incorporated into all work activities. Examples of federal work activities to ensure safety are defined and measured in mission activities that include the following: • Prioritizing and acquiring resources and executing contracts • Assigning safety management roles, responsibilities, and requirements • Developing annual budgets and reviewing field work priorities • Developing performance baseline incentives for contractor performance NNSA SD 450.2B Appendix B 04-23-21 APB-3 • Implementing management systems for federal operations • Establishing mission priorities and reviewing the mission plans of field elements • Establishing a positive safety environment through effective ISM implementation

• Establishing quality management program requirements • Establishing performance metrics and evaluating the field and contractor safety performance objectives and commitments • Establishing and implementing feedback and improvement programs and processes to facilitate a culture that promotes ongoing examination and learning • Reviewing project baseline plans and evaluating cost and schedule performance • Reviewing field and contractor ISM readiness declarations • Performing operational readiness reviews • Performing assessments, self-assessments, and management observations • Performing ISM effectiveness reviews • Ensuring safe and healthful working conditions for federal employees • Promoting a healthy safety culture • Performing issues management and overseeing corrective action closure • Recruiting highly qualified, technical federal personnel 6. NNSA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. The NNSA management systems are the primary instruments for implementing the ISM guiding principles. The management systems define the practices, techniques, and tools used by NNSA to meet any given project requirements. The systems are adjusted over time to accommodate new or revised requirements, lessons learned, and feedback for improvement. As such, the systems discussed in this section are being continuously enhanced, which, in turn, maximizes ISM implementation. The following is a list of currently identified NNSA management systems grouped into functional areas, which are found on the NNSA Portal page for current NNSA Policies. The management systems are grouped into functional areas to facilitate their assignment to the guiding principles, as illustrated in Table 1 (to demonstrate implementing mechanisms for each guiding principle). If a functional area is assigned as executing a guiding principle, then all the associated management systems are also assigned to that guiding principle, but some management systems are specifically identified as executing Appendix B NNSA SD 450.2B APB-4 04-23-21 a guiding principle, e.g., the NNSA FRA for Guiding Principle 2 (Clear Roles and Responsibilities). The functional areas applicable to the guiding principles are identified in Table 1 of Section 7. The five core safety management functions provide the necessary framework for any NNSA work activity that could affect the workers, the public, and the environment. The core functions are applied as a continuous cycle with the degree of rigor appropriate to address the type of work activity and hazards involved. In Table 1, the core functions are illustrated as being applicable to all guiding principles. • Acquisition • Budget and Finance • Business and Support Services • Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation • Defense Nuclear Security o Nuclear Security Federal Oversight Process o Enterprise Mission Essential Task List – Based Protective Force Training Program • Defense Programs o Weapons and Strategic Materials Program o Annual Assessment of the National Nuclear Stockpile o Site Integrated Assessment Plan • Emergency Operations o Lines of Succession • Human Resources and Training o Annual Workforce Planning o Succession Planning o Federal Employee Training o Leadership Development o Employee Concerns Program o NNSA Recruitment, Relocation, and Retention Incentives Program o Federal Technical Capabilities Program o Technical Qualification Program • Information Management o Project Oversight for Information Technology

NNSA SAFETY GOALS AND PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. NNSA HQ personnel evaluate safety performance results against identified performance measures, objectives, and commitments to determine the success of our safety culture. NNSA uses indicators to measure the effectiveness of its management systems and the overall safety performance of its organization. Performance measures are used to track progress and monitor achievement of the performance objectives and commitments. Some performance measures indicate how well the NNSA ISM system is being maintained. They include the following: • CDNS Biennial Reviews of field offices and NNSA HQ that include ISM and other areas important to ensuring nuclear safety delegations are planned and executed • NA-50 oversight activities conducted in accordance with an oversight plan • Percentage of NNSA personnel in the TQP fully qualified in their assigned functional area (NNSA Goal: at least 80%) • Number of NNSA personnel in the TQP overdue in their qualifications (NNSA Goal: 0) • NNSA FRA and ISMSD are reviewed annually and updated as needed to capture changes in organizational structure or directives • Delegations of authority are reviewed and revised as necessary to maintain clear roles and responsibilities • ISM declarations are reviewed periodically to include an ISM effectiveness review • Safety performance measures, objectives, and commitments are reviewed annually and weighed in the evaluation of M&O contractor performance In the area of mission accomplishment, NNSA develops commitments and measures progress as part of the NNSA programming, planning, budgeting, and evaluation processes. Currently, in the area of safety, NNSA line management develops annual site-specific measures as part of the Contractor Performance Evaluation Process (CPEP). For ISM, line management, in consultation with the Cognizant Secretarial Officer (CSO) for Safety, develops expectations for field office review of safety performance objectives, measures, and commitments. NNSA safety performance objectives, measures, and commitments for NNSA M&O contractors are developed annually through CPEP and are considered during the evaluation of contractor performance. (See Attachment 1 - Safety Performance Objectives, Measures, and Commitments Process Flowchart.)

NNSA ISM EFFECTIVENESS REVIEWS AND DECLARATION. NNSA HQ ISM effectiveness reviews must be performed to develop NNSA HQ ISM declarations at a frequency not to exceed 3 years. NNSA field offices must determine the need for, and frequency of, ISM effectiveness reviews to develop ISM declarations for field offices and for their contractors, with ISM declarations from the contractors being completed at an interval not to exceed 3 years. The field office declaration shall be submitted to the CSO at an interval not to exceed 3 years. This periodicity is afforded through the robustness of the operational awareness processes including development and use of annual performance measures, objectives, and commitments to weigh and improve safety performance. Consideration by each field office should include the guidelines listed in DOE G 450.4- 1C, Integrated Safety Management System Guide, or its successor, for determining the need for, and frequency of, contractors’ ISM declarations. This consideration includes factors such as hazard, risk, and contractor performance history through its annual performance measures, objectives, and commitments. 11. ISMSD CHANGE CONTROL. The Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety (NA-51) is responsible for maintaining the NNSA ISMSD. The NNSA ISMSD shall be maintained in accordance with SD 251.1A, Directives Management. The NNSA ISMSD is reviewed annually and updated, as necessary, to reflect changes in HQ functions dictated by DOE/NNSA directives or changes in organizational structure.
