            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                     CHAPTER 9--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 
Sec. 952.223-72  Radiation protection and nuclear criticality.

    As prescribed in 923.7002 the clause set forth herein shall be 
included in those contracts or subcontracts for, and be made applicable 
to, work to be performed at a facility where DOE does not elect to 
assert its statutory authority to enforce occupational safety and health 
standards applicable to the working conditions of contractor and 
subcontractor employees, but does need to enforce radiological safety 
and health standards pursuant to provisions of the contract or 
subcontract rather than by reliance upon Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
licensing requirements (including agreements with states under section 
274 of the Atomic Energy Act).

         Radiation Protection and Nuclear Criticality (APR 1984)

    The contractor shall take all reasonable precautions in the 
performance of work under this contract to protect the safety and health 
of employees and of members of the public against the hazards of 
ionizing radiation and radioactive materials and shall comply with all 
applicable radiation protection and nuclear criticality safety standards 
and requirements (including reporting requirements) of DOE. The 
contractor shall submit a management program and implementation plan to 
the contracting officer for review and approval within 30 days after the 
effective date of this contract or modification. In the event that the 
contractor fails to comply with said standards and requirements of DOE, 
the contracting officer may, without prejudice to any other legal or 
contractual rights of DOE, issue an order stopping all or any part of 
the work. Thereafter, a start order for resumption of the work may be 
issued at the discretion of the contracting officer. The contractor 
shall make no claim for an extension of time or for compensation or 
damages by reason of or in connection with such work stoppage.
