Abstract

The Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) for the [FACILITY] define acceptable conditions, safe boundaries, bases thereof, and management or administrative controls required to ensure safe operation during [FACILITY MISSION/FUNCTIONS/ACTIVITIES]. Necessary and sufficient controls required for public safety, significant defense-in-depth, significant worker safety, and for maintaining radiological consequences below risk evaluation guidelines (EGs) are included. The TSRs are based on the preventive and mitigative features determined to be essential in [FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT OR OTHER SAFETY DOCUMENTATION], which is based on DOE 5480.23, Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports. The [FACILITY] TSRs constitute an agreement or contract between the US Department of Energy (DOE) and [CONTRACTOR] regarding the safe operation of the [FACILITY]. As such, once approved, the TSRs cannot be changed without the approval of the Cognizant Secretarial Officer (CSO), or designee. The format and content for the [FACILITY] TSRs are based on DOE 5480.22, Technical Safety Requirements; [CONTRACTOR TSR POLICY]; and NUREG 1431, Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants. The TSRs will be maintained as a separate, controlled document [TSR DOCUMENT NUMBER].
