Included is a discussion of participating organizations and their relationships; and (c) Part III provides detailed discussions on key operational suitability evaluation areas, i.e., availability, reliability, maintainability, software evaluation, and integrated, diagnostics. Attachments provide additional discussions of special operational suitability areas/issues such as dormant reliability, nuclear hardness maintenance/hardness surveillance (HM/HS), and considerations of availability evaluations by system type.
