HISTORY • Cri+cality safety lapses aHer the cold war ended (DNFSB 93-‐2, 97-‐2)
• Chartered in 1997 by DOE to support maintaining competency and solving technical issues (18 years of service)
• Ten charter members with a broad range of experimental, theore+cal and prac+cal knowledge (most authorita+ve body on NCS within DOE)
• Focused on balanced risk and wise use of resources

Interfaces
• Nuclear Cri+cality Safety Program – Integral part with all elements
• DOE Cri+cality Safety Coordina+ng Team (CSCT) – Telecons with Site Federal NCS leads
• EFCOG SAWG Crit Safety subcommigee – Telecons with EFCOG crit safety group
• ANS NCSD – Ac+ve in Division opera+ons – Ac+ve in Standards development

Impact
• Strong advocate for “doing the right thing” and not allowing poli+cal considera+ons to outweigh technical considera+ons.
• Resulted in a much stronger applica+on of the graded approach.
• Placing cri+cality accident risk into perspec+ve allows regula+on of cri+cality safety to follow rules based primarily on consequence not poli+cs
• Preven+ng a sense of complacency

Conclusions
• The CSSG came into existence during a +me of concern about DOEs ability to maintain capability in cri+cality safety
• The CSSG has provided crucial informa+on, guidance and direc+on to the NCSP and the DOE
• The CSSG has ensured the graded approach is appropriately applied to cri+cality safety
• The CSSG is well posi+oned to con+nue their support role into the future (access to CSSG via NCSP Manager)
