Natural Phenomena Hazards Site Characterization Criteria. Reaffirmed with Errata, April 2002. DOE Standard

摘要

The Department of Energy (DOE) has issued an Order (DOE O 420.1) and associated Natural Phenomena Hazard (NPH) Guide, DOE G 420.1-2, which establishes policy and requirements for NPH mitigation for DOE sites and facilities. To implement the NPH Mitigation requirements, several standards have been developed for compliance with DOE O 420.1. This standard provides general and detailed requirements for site characterization which provides the necessary site-specific information to implement DOE-STD-1023-95 Natural Phenomena Hazards Assessment Criteria. The DOE-STD-1023-95 established adequate design basis load levels and in turn provides necessary information to implement DOE-STD-1020-2002 for NPH design and evaluation criteria for DOE facilities.
