2. Equipment Maintenance Standards
The Equipment Maintenance Standards are mandatory written instructions,
prepared by an independent component having no line responsibility for
reactor operation or production efficiencies. The Equipment Maintenance
Standards specify, for the reactor process and vital auxiliary plants,
the equipment and component specifications, methods and frequency of
performing functional tests, and maintenance procedures where such specifi-
cation is necessary to safeguard against nuclear hazards.
3. Process Change Authorization
The Process Change Authorization is a method of providing for reactor
operation under temporary waiver of Process Standards when, in the best
judgment of qualified and responsible technical and operating personnel,
such deviation will not result in increased hazard or reduced pile life.
Copies of Process Change Authorizations are transmitted to the Commission
for information.
4. Production Test Authorization
A test which has the prime objective of developing engineering or techno-
logical data may be conducted under a Production Test Authorization. Such
tests may be conducted outside the conditions authorized by Process
Standards or Equipment Maintenance Standards. Authorizing documents
describe the risks and hazards involved in the test so that formal approval
by the technical and operating components signify that the risks are known,
understood and reasonable. Copies of Production Test Authorizations are
transmitted to the Commission for information immediately upon issuance.
5. Process Improvement Transition Authorization
A test which has the prime objective of piloting the application of
knowledge or techniques to the reactors on a large scale may be conducted
