Key Questions forCritical Decision Approval

Standard Review PlanHandbook

July 2010

This Handbook is designed as a practical tool for the Office of Environmental Management (EM) Federal Project Directors (FPDs), Integrated Project Teams (IPTs), Technical Authority Board (TAB), and senior management to ensure that issues and risks that could challenge the success of EM projects are identified early and proactively addressed. The project lessons learned to date, both successes and setbacks, have highlighted the need for a more focused, technically rigorous, and standardized approach to project reviews performed at Critical Decision (CD) points.

The Handbook provides an abbreviated summary of corporate expectations provided in the EM Standard Review Plan (SRP). The SRP is the EM strategic mission-focused framework to formalize EM’s institutional processes and requirements associated with the review of capital projects as part of the CD review and approval process.

The SRP is a working document developed in a series of individual Review Modules, which address key functional areas of Project Management, Engineering and Design, Nuclear and Facility Safety, Worker Safety, Environment, Security, and Quality Assurance, grouped per each specific CD point. The technical foundation for the SRP encompasses key milestones established by the DOE O 413.3A, Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets, DOE-STD-1189-2008, Integration of Safety into the Design Process, and EM’s internal business management practices.

The Handbook presents a listing of key issues and questions that need to be considered by the Acquisition Executive, TAB, EM Headquarters Senior Management, and Field Managers, to assure a technically objective and defensible basis for CD approval. The issues and questions are presented for each CD phase. There are also two tables depicting CD prerequisite activities and key documents that provide the basis to address the issues and questions listed.

The SRP complements the TAB framework and assists the FPDs and their IPTs in identifying and evaluating potential significant project management, engineering, technical, and safety issues early in and throughout the project in preparation for CDs.The SRP is developed as a collaborative effort between EM and the Chief of Nuclear Safety, Office of the Under Secretary and can be accessed on the EM webpage at http://www.em.doe.gov/Pages/Safety.aspx.
