GAO's Analysis Of Alleged Health

And Safety Violations At

The Navy's Nuclear Power Training

Unit At Windsor, Connecticut


At the request of the Chairmen, Subcommit-
tees on Environment, Energy and Natural Re
sources, and Legislation and National Security,
House Committee on Government Operations,
GAO investigated 17 allegations of radiation
and industrial health and safety violations at
the Windsor facility. The allegations referred to
specific events considered symptomatic of po-
tentially dangerous conditions.

In 5 of the 17 allegations, procedures or safe-
ty standards were violated, including one case
with the potential for a serious personnel in-
jury. None of the five violations involved ra
diation exposure to personnel, and all were
investigated by Windsor facility officials at
the time they occurred. In GAO's opinion,
none of the events forming the bases for the
17 allegations, including the 5 cases in which
violations occurred, were indicative of basic
health- and safety-related weaknesses in the
facility's operations.
