DISTRIBUTION: INITIATED BY: All Departmental Elements Office of Nuclear and Facility Safety Policy U.S. Department of Energy ORDER Washington, D.C. Approved: 6-01-01 SUBJECT: MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR DOE NUCLEAR FACILITIES 1. OBJECTIVE. To define the program for the management of cost-effective maintenance of Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities. Guidance for compliance with this Order is contained in DOE G 433.1-1, Nuclear Facility Maintenance Management Program Guide for use with DOE O 433.1, which references Federal regulations, DOE directives, and industry best practices using a graded approach to clarify requirements and guidance for maintaining DOE-owned Government property. 2. CANCELLATION. DOE 4330.4B, Chapter II, Maintenance Management Program, dated 2-10-94, is canceled. Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual obligation to comply with such a directive. Canceled directives that are incorporated by reference in a contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete the requirements in the canceled directives. 3. APPLICABILITY. a. DOE Elements. Except for the exclusions in paragraph 3c, this Order applies to all DOE elements, including the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), involved in the maintenance of DOE nuclear facilities. b. Contractors. The Contractor Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 1, sets forth requirements to be applied to all contractors responsible for managing and maintaining DOE-owned or -leased nuclear facilities. Contractors must comply with the requirements listed in the CRD to the extent set forth in their contracts. Contractors are responsible for— (1) compliance with the requirements of the CRD of this Order regardless of the performer of the work and (2) flowing down the requirements of the CRD of this Order to subcontractors and suppliers to the extent necessary to ensure contractor compliance with the requirements. DOE O 433.1 2 DOE O 433.1 6-01-01 c. Exclusions. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program maintenance covered under Executive Order 12344, as in force under section 3216(c) of Public Law 106-65 (50 U.S.C. 2406), is excluded from the provisions of this Order. d. Other Requirements. This Order does not apply to those portions of nuclear facility maintenance programs that are subject to regulation by other Federal agencies such as the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. To ensure that nuclear facility maintenance meets DOE expectations, DOE elements may impose additional requirements and/or specific standards as necessary to preserve DOE property. A single maintenance program may be used to satisfy the regulated work; the requirements of DOE O 430.1A, Life Cycle Asset Management; any additional requirements imposed by DOE elements; and the requirements of this Order. 4. REQUIREMENTS. a. In addition to the maintenance program requirements of DOE O 430.1A, a nuclear facility maintenance management program must contain a DOE-approved Maintenance Implementation Plan (MIP) that addresses the following elements using a graded approach. (1) Structures, systems, and components (SSCs) included in the program. (2) Periodic inspections of SSCs and equipment required to determine whether degradation or technical obsolescence threatens performance and/or safety. (3) Management systems used to control maintenance activities associated with the defined SSCs (these include work control, postmaintenance testing, material procurement and handling, and control and calibration of test equipment).

Section 2

(4) Assignment of roles and responsibilities and appropriate maintenance-related training and qualification requirements. (5) Interfaces between the maintenance organization and other organizations (e.g., operations, engineering, quality, training, industrial health). (6) The configuration management process established to ensure the integrity of the identified SSCs using a graded approach. DOE O 433.1 3 6-01-01 (7) The prioritization process used to properly emphasize safety requirements, the maintenance backlog, system availability, and requirements for those infrastructure elements identified as part of the nuclear facility safety basis. (8) The process for feedback and improvement established to provide relevant information regarding operations, maintenance, and assessment efforts. (9) The systems engineer program established for the management of vital safety systems that is consistent with DOE O 420.1A and designates a “system engineer” with— (a) the requisite knowledge of the system safety design basis and operating limits from the safety analysis and (b) the lead responsibility for the configuration management of design. (10) An accurate maintenance history that compiles maintenance, resource, and cost data in a system which is retrievable and capable of entering required-maintenance costs, actual maintenance costs, and availability data and failure rates for mission-critical and safety SSCs into the DOE Facility Information Management System (see DOE O 430.1A and DOE G 433.1-1, Section 4.15). b. The nuclear facility maintenance management program must establish metrics to measure program performance and identify appropriate voluntary consensus standards that are incorporated into the program. c. The nuclear facility maintenance management program must be integrated with— (1) the Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) established by DOE P 450.4, Safety Management System Policy, and 48 CFR 970.5204-2; (2) the life-cycle management programs under DOE O 430.1A; (3) any required nuclear safety basis established under 10 CFR Part 830, Subpart B; and (4) a Quality Assurance Program established under 10 CFR Part 830, Subpart A. d. The MIP should be reviewed every 2 years and necessary changes submitted to DOE for approval. e. The nuclear facility maintenance management program established under DOE 4330.4B remains effective until it is updated to meet the requirements of this Order. 4 DOE O 433.1 6-01-01 5. RESPONSIBILITIES. The responsibilities of all DOE elements are delineated in Section 9 of DOE M 411.1-1B, Safety Management Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual. These responsibilities include the following: a. ensuring that sufficient resources are budgeted in a timely manner to accomplish the maintenance program’s objective of providing DOE with the highest confidence in the reliable performance of mission-critical, safety SSCs through proactive maintenance practices; b. ensuring that a cost-effective and efficient maintenance program is developed and implemented for all DOE nuclear facilities consistent with DOE’s mission, safety and health, reliability, quality, and environmental protection objectives; c. ensuring that the responsibility, authority, and accountability for maintenance are clearly defined, appropriately assigned, and executed; d. ensuring that DOE operational awareness review and analysis capability exists for evaluation of maintenance program performance and effectiveness;

Section 3

e. ensuring that where maintenance requirements or accepted maintenance standards cannot be met, such instances are appropriately documented and acknowledged by DOE field elements including the granting of exemptions by DOE, as appropriate, when requested; and f. ensuring that the requirements and standards for maintenance of nuclear facilities are incorporated into contracts and subcontracts, including support services contracts, as appropriate. 6.

[See DOE O 414.1A; DOE O 440.1A; DOE G 433.1-1, Section 4.10; DOE G 440.1-6; DOE Personal Property Letter 970-3; and 10 CFR 830.122(g).]

Section 7

k. Control and Calibration of Measuring and Test Equipment. The program for control and calibration of measuring and test equipment should be consistent with quality assurance requirements and ensure the accurate performance of nuclear facility instrumentation and equipment for testing, calibration, and repairs. [See DOE O 414.1A; DOE G 433.1-1, Section 4.11; and 10 CFR 830.122(e) and (h).] l. Maintenance Tools and Equipment Control.
