DOE G 421.1-2A, Implementation Guide for Use in Developing Documented Safety Analyses to Meet Subpart B of 10 CFR 830
DOE G 421.1-2A provides guidance for effective implementation of 10 CFR 830, Subpart B, Safety Basis Requirements, which requires contractors responsible for a DOE nuclear facility to analyze the facility, the work to be performed, and the associated hazards and to identify the conditions, safe boundaries, and hazard controls necessary to protect workers, the public, and the environment from adverse consequences.

DOE G 423.1-1A, Implementation Guide for Use in Developing Technical Safety Requirements
DOE G 423.1-1A provides elaboration for the content of Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs). Section 10 CFR 830.205 of the Nuclear Safety Management rule, requires DOE contractors responsible for Hazard Category 1, 2, and 3 DOE nuclear facilities to develop TSRs. These TSRs identify the limitations to each DOE owned contractor operated nuclear facility based on the documented safety analysis (DSA) and any additional safety requirements established for the facility.
