Appel, Gordon J.; Haverlock, Todd A.

This document is milestone M4FT-15SN0826021: Draft Summary of principle operating procedures for a generic repository licensing organization, the result of efforts under work package FT-15SN082602 DOE Managed HLW and SNF Research: Generic Operating Procedures; e.g., Quality Assurance — Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). The objective of this effort was to develop this draft document identifying and summarizing the principle operating procedures for a generic repository licensing organization. The FY16 follow on work package is FT-165N050303: Develop and Implement Operating Procedures — SNL, having a consistent objective to develop a draft document identifying and summarizing the principle operating procedures for a generic repository licensing organization. This document identifies and describes the principle operating procedures for a hypothetical and generic organization with the responsibility to site, characterize, design, license, construct and operate a repository for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF) managed by the Department of Energy. These principle operating procedures reflect practices that facilitate compliance with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) expectations and NQA-1 quality standards.
