Procedure Overview

This procedure provides process instructions for the verification of readiness for startup of new Hazard Category 1, 2, and 3 nuclear facilities, activities, and operations, and for the restart of existing Hazard Category 1, 2, and 3 nuclear facilities, activities, and operations that have been shut down. The readiness reviews, Operational Readiness Reviews (ORRs) or Readiness Assessments (RAs), are not intended to be line management tools to achieve readiness. Rather, the readiness reviews provide an independent verification of readiness to start or restart operations.
