REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED S-ATES




Department Of Energy's Safety And Health

Program For Enrichment Plant Workers

Is Not Adequately Implemented


The Department of Energy's (DOE's) program
to protect the safety and health of employees
at its contractor-operated uranium enrichment
plants has not been fully implemented by DO E's
Oak Ridge Operations Office. Appraisals and
inspections of plant conditions are not as fre-
quent and/or as thorough as required. Instead
of independently investigating employee com-
plaints, DOE has delegated this responsibility
to the contractor.

The Secretary of Energy should make sure that
Oak Ridge properly conducts inspections and
appraisals and investigates and follows up on
all employee complaints. He should also take
steps to provide increased independence and
objectivity in the Oak Ridge Operations Office's
safety and health program. Furthermore, the
Congress should authorize the Secretary of
Energy to institute a program of non-reimburs-
able penalties and fines for violations of safety
and health standards and procedures.
