INTRODUCTION

This appendix contains documentation prepared by the Plutonium ES&H 
Vulnerability Working Group for conducting the Plutonium ES&H Vulnerability 
Assessment and training the assessment teams. It has the following five parts:

A.1 The "Project Plan" describes the genesis of the project, sets forth the goals, 
objectives and scope, provides definitions, the projected schedule, and elements 
f protocol.

A.2 The "Assessment Plan" provides a detailed methodology necessary to guide the 
many professionals who have been recruited to conduct the DOE-wide assessment. 
It provides guidance on which types and forms of plutonium are to be considered 
within the scope of the assessment (in-scope versus out-of-scope), and lays out the 
assessment methodology to be used by both the "Site Assessment Teams" (SATs) 
and the "Working Group Assessment Teams" (WGATs).

A.3 The memorandum from the Project to Operations Office Managers provides the 
protocol and direction for participation in the assessment by external stakeholders 
(individuals or organizations) and members of the public; and the guidance for the 
physical inspection of plutonium materials in storage.

A.4 The memorandum from the Project to the assessment teams provides 
guidance for vulnerability screening criteria, vulnerability evalution and 
prioritization process, and vulnerability quantification for prioritization, for
use by both theSATs and the WGATs to assist the Working Group in prioritizing 
vulnerabilities across the DOE complex.

A.5 The "Team Training" manual was used at the training session held in Colorado 
Springs on April19-21, 1994 for all members of the Working Group Assessment 
Teams (about 100 people) and for the leaders of the Site Assessment Teams (about 
30 individuals). The session covered the scope of the project, the assessment 
methodology, and numerous technical topics needed to carry out the assessments at 
all DOE sites. The goal was to provide the same training to all of the individuals who 
would be conducting the assessments, and thereby provide consistency in the conduct 
of the assessments and uniformity in reporting of the results. The training manual in 
Section A.5 includes supplemental material provided to the attendees after the 
meeting.
