Requirements PPPL uses ESHD 5008 (“Safety Manual”) Section 11 (“Operations Hazard Criteria and Safety Certification”) as part of its implementation of the Integrated Safety Management (ISM) Guiding Principle for Operations Authorization of experimental projects. Section 11 Chapter 1 requires large research experiments to prepare a Safety Assessment Document (SAD) and to obtain a Safety Certificate authorizing operations. Requirements SADs are required to address (5008 Sect. 11 Ch. 1): An overview of the operation (project or experimental device), including mission, goals, and/or objectives. Descriptions of structures, systems and components relevant to the operation, with emphasis on environment, safety and health (ESH) features. Identification of hazards associated with the operation and methods employed for their mitigation. Description of how operations will be conducted, with em
