BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES






Cleaning Up Nuclear Facilities--

An Aggressive And Unified Federal

Program Is Needed



The Federal Government needs to take a
more unified and aggressive approach to
cleaning up and decommissioning nuclear
facilities if the United States intends to
effectively meet current and future decom-
missioning challenges. The limitations of
current Federal agency decommissioning
programs

   --make it difficult to locate facilities in
   need of decommissioning actions and

   --increase decommissioning costs not
   only for licensees but also for the pub-
   lic and the Federal Government.

Until the Federal Government establishes a
national decommissioning strategy and des-
ignates a lead agency responsible for moni-
toring implementation of that strategy, these
problems will likely continue. More impor-
tantly, the chances of hazards to the pub-
lic's health and safety will be increased
because nuclear facilities may not be prop-
erly cleaned up.
