Scale and Scope of Safety Assessment Methods in the Project Development Process

Long Description: Figure 3. The Project Development Cycle and Corresponding Planning and Scoping Chapter

Figure shows a four step project life cycle:

1. System Planning and Programming
2. Project Development
3. Construction
4. Maintenance and Operations

The figure highlights several overlapping sub-tasks (and associated HSM chapters) taking place within the project development phase:

• Planning and Scoping (Chapter 2)
• Alternatives Identification / Analysis (Chapter 3)
• Preliminary Design and Final Design (Chapter 4)
• Environmental Analysis

Planning and Scoping (Chapter 2) is circled for emphasis.

NOTE: Elements of ongoing life cycle activities are incorporated into Chapter 2 and 4 as appropriate
