BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Better Oversight Needed For

Safety And Health Activities At

DOE's Nuclear Facilities


Major changes are required in the safety and
health oversight program at the Department
of Energy's (DOE's) contractor-operated nu-
clear facilities to ensure that safety, health,
and environmental standards are met. This
responsibility falls to the operating contrac-
tors, which are also responsible for meeting
production or program objectives. As a result,
safety and health concerns must often com-
pete with program goals.

GAO recommends a major reorganization of
DOE's safety and health program as well as
other actions to correct program deficiencies.
GAO also suggests that the Congress consider
legislation to require the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission to review the safety of several
DOE nuclear facilities.
