In addition to the technical detail suggested by Section 7.3.2 above, there needs to be visible evidence that sufficient aspects of assessment have been addressed. The assessment schedule checklist in Appendix 2 of this book provides a formal checklist which allows one to demonstrate file thoroughness (i.e., rigor) of an assessment. 

Software verification and validation activities and schedule shall be as described in the "Task Assessment Schedule for Certification of Reactor Analysis Computer Codes (U)" WSRC-TR-90-397 (Reference 1). A plan for activities and schedules for SAR and PRA codes similar to WSRC-TR-90-397 shall be provided by the operating contractor. This plan shall be reviewed and approved by DOE prior to restart.

In April of 1991, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration concluded that o2one depletion was occurring even faster than had been estimated, and at the third meeting of the patties to the Montreal Protocol in June of 1991, an eadiet phaseout of controlled substances was proposed. An assessment of the technical and economic consequences of a 1997 phaseout is cuttendy underway, and further acceleration of the phaseout schedule to as soon as 1995 seems likely. Many countnes already have undatetaHy banned or curbed the use of controlled substances well ahead of the Montreal Protocol timetable. As of eadyjuly 1992, there were 81 parties to the Protocol. 

Summarize the fmdings and recommendations in a brief pre-assessment report, and present and review this with management. This will reaffirm management s commitment to the next phase. Include in the pre-assessment report a list of actions or steps that the team intends to follow in the next phase. If some of these steps involve field measurements, then highlight these and their possible effects on production schedules and personnel assignments. Use the steps in Phase II as a guide to developing the recommended actions. 

The series of standards presented in this paper provides a useful package for assessment and design of HVAC systems and protective equipment to be used in moderate, cold, and hot environments. The standards may be used to estimate the optimal combination of environmental thermal factors that will provide comfortable or tolerable healthy working conditions. The standards may also be used to establish optimal work/rest schedules for environments where the working time must be limited owdng to strain on the human body. Several of these standards are being adopted as national standards in several countries. 

It is essential to plan the time schedule of a measurement project-—the more detailed, the more important it is to carry out the measurements in a specified time. The time schedule is achieved by dividing the whole project into smaller tasks and assessing the time required to carry out these subtasks. A rough division of a mea.surement project could contain the following elements ... 

Subcontractor development should not be limited to the assessment for compliance to ISO/TS 16949 as indicated in Note 1. The standard contains the minimum requirements and, with the requirement for continuous improvement, it may be necessary to work with some of your subcontractors in order to develop their capability to improve process capability and delivery schedules or reduce avoidable costs. You can t develop all your subcontractors and hence Note 2 of the standard indicates that you should prioritize subcontractors for development based upon performance and importance of product or service supplied. 

You may be able to achieve some economies by linking the PSM baseline assessment with other, scheduled review programs in your company, e.g., annual safety reviews, compliance audits, etc. 

This suggests that in otganizing the assessment task, you may want to identify as broad a group of qualified individuals as possible, and be prepared to provide them with detailed guidance. This may help you accommodate last-minute scheduling problems while assuring consistent quality. 

The answer to this question will depend on two factors the frequency with which the CT occur, and the likelihood of errors arising when performing these tasks. The frequency of the interactions can usually be specified relatively easily by reference to plant procedures, production plans, and maintenance schedules. The probability of error will be a fimction of the PIFs discussed extensively in Chapter 3 and other chapters in this book. In order to obtain a measure of error potential, it is necessary to make an assessment of the most important PIFs for each of the CT. 

CCPS has developed guidelines for the measurement of PSM performance that provide useful ideas on measurement. Their approach for developing performance measures integrates Quality Management with a well-tested methodology for developing measures based on mathematical algorithms derived from expert assessment of system performance. The purpose was to identify well-defined, measurable, and practical indicators of performance that are updated on a schedule which makes the performance measure continuously useful. To date, measures have been developed for... 

The LER data base served as the primary source of DG failure data, while a data base for DG successes was formed from nuclear plant licensees responses to a USNRC questionnaire (Generic Letter 84-15). Estimates of DG failure on demand were calculated from the LER data, DG test data, and response data from the questionnaire. The questionnaire also provided data on DG performance during complete and partial LOSP and in response to safety injection actuation signals. Trends in DG performance are profiled. The effects of testing schedules on diesel reliability are assessed. Individual failures are identified in an appendix. 

Physical realizability is often the most difficult of the above three corollary questions to answer. In general, to answer this question it is necessary to know 1) whether the materials and components required by the engineering design are available and 2) whether the manufacturing (and/or fabrication) techniques and skilled craftsmen needed to fabricate the product are also available. These two assessments are difficult to make because they often involve the projection of future technological developments. Technological developments usually do not occur according to schedule. 

The extent of the preadministration assessment depends on the type of malignancy and the patient s general physical condition. The initial assessment of tiie patient scheduled for chemotherapy may include ... 

Given that cognitive and behavioral disturbances are commonly associated with inhalant use disorders, diagnostic assessment of individuals with such disorders is probably best done by using a standardized interview schedule, such as the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDl) (Robins et...
