scope:
The criteria and recommendations presented in this standard shall apply to performance categorization of SSCs for the purpose of mitigating natural phenomena hazards in all DOE facilities covered by DOE Order 420.1.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is as follows:
(a) To provide, for the purpose of Natural Phenomena Hazard (NPH) design and evaluation, criteria for selecting performance categories (PCs) of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) in accordance with the requirements specified in DOE Order 420.1 (Reference 10) and the NPH Guide to DOE O 420.1 (DOE G 420.1-2) (Reference 11).
(b) To recommend general procedures for consistent application of the above performance categorization criteria so that the Department of Energy (DOE) review and approval process is simplified.
