Status Of Bonneville Power Administration's

Efforts To Improve Its Oversight Of

Three Nuclear Power Projects


In the early 1 970 s, the Department of Energy's Bonneville
Power Administration acquired all or part of the power-
generating capability of three nuclear projects being
constructed in the Pacific Northwest by the Washington
Public Power Supply System Under its contracts with the
Supply System, Bonneville has certain oversight rights and
responsibilitios to help ensure that the plants are con
stru.ted and operated in an efficient manner

GAO found that Bonneville had improved it oversight
efforts since a 1979 GAO review For example, agreements
between Bonneville and the Supply System improved
Bonneville's ability to access key project information In
late 1983, as GAO was completing its field work, Bonneville
restructured its oversight organization and formed a top
management steering commTittee to coordinate its over-
siqht programs


While GAO agrees that Bonneville has taken positive steps
to improve its oversight efforts, additional steps are needed
In particular, Bonneville needs to develop roles, policies,
and procedural statements which clearly and specifically
define the interrelationships and  responsibilities of the
various groups at Bonneville involved with oversight
Bonneville should then review the adequacy of oversight
staffing against its defined oversight responsibilities
