4.1Specifics described in the plan.The plan shall describe in detail the specific approaches necessary to achieve nuclear survivability. This discussion shall include electrical and mechanical hardening design features and any operational or procedural methods planned.

4.1.1The plan shall detail the combination of analyses and tests required to demonstrate survivability.A discussion of design margins to be employed in the analysis shall be included.

4.1.2The program plan shall describe the nuclear survivability test program to be performed under contract.Testing at each level of integration (piece part, circuit, etc.) shall be discussed in terms of need, simulators, test levels, dosimetry, instrumentation, etc.

4.1.3The plan shall include a discussion of the management of the survivability program.The duties and responsibility of primary point of contact shall be identified and discussed. The relationship between the survivability manager and the program manager shall be detailed.

4.1.4The program plan shall include a functional and operational description of the end item being developed or acquired under the respective contract.This description shall address the key subsystem elements in sufficient detail to enable the government program manager to understand the nuclear survivability program approach.

4.1.5The plan shall present a schedule of critical survivability program milestones related to the overall program schedule.This time-phased schedule shall indicate initiation, review and completion for each key nuclear survivability task.

4.1.6The plan shall present a general discussion of the integrated logistic support management approach to field a survivable system, including design, analysis, test and documentation.

4.1.7The plan shall provide the estimated labor hours, the caliber of labor and the costs for material, supplies, travel, computer and simulation facilities.

4.2Designs, analyses, tests, and evaluations described in the plan.

4.2.1The plan shall delineate analytical efforts that supplement or replace testing, to include identification of computer codes and the intended application of these analytical techniques.

4.2.2The plan shall delineate piece part, component and subsystem tests to be performed for each specified nuclear environment with details, such as sample size, test methods, test instrumentation, parameters to be characterized and relationships to analytical efforts.

4.2.3The plan shall delineate system level tests to be performed, including methods of extrapolation from test environments to the threat environments, the rationale for simulator choices and relationships to analytical efforts.

4.2.4The plan shall describe anticipated test simulators and test equipment to be employed, test configurations, test article orientation, exposure levels and test data to be obtained.

4.2.5The plan shall describe the survivability philosophy to include the basis for selection of piece parts, materials, device technologies, circuit and mechanical designs; the specific materials, technologies and designs rejected because of nuclear survivability considerations; assumptions concerning the system design margins; planned operational fixes such as cycling power and any assumptions concerning the system operation, function, deployment or configuration that has been used in developing the Nuclear Survivability Plan.There shall be particular emphasis on design philosophy for hardness critical items (HCI) and mission critical equipments. The plan shall describe the configuration control approach to control HCIs and harness critical processes (HCPs).

4.2.6The plan shall describe the approach to the incorporation of nuclear survivability issues and consideration into the appropriate integrated logistic support documentation as early as possible in the program.The integrated logistic support implications shall include operational procedures, maintenance, repair and overhaul procedures, personnel skill levels, spare parts, repair tools, provisioning and training needs.

4.2.7The plan shall delineate the projected requirements, driven by the nuclear survivability of the system, for custom or hardened parts, materials, or components; the basis of need for these parts; and the impacts of these requirements on the program and system design, cost, operation, function and deployment.

4.2.8If the prime contractor or any of the subcontractors are supplying non-developmental or proprietary materials, components or equipments under this contract, this plan must detail how the nuclear survivability of these materials, components or equipments shall be evaluated, assured, maintained and documented during all acquisition phases.

4.2.9The plan shall identify the nuclear survivability trade-offs that shall be performed against other system requirements such as schedule, cost, mobility, reliability, producibility and Integrated Logistic Support (ILS).
