handle is hein.gao/gaobabece0001 and id is 1 raw text is: JR, 17 SO SUPPLEMENT TO A REPORT BY THE Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES Issues Concerning The Department Of Energy's Justification ,For Building The Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Plant This supplement contains GAO's analysis of and response to the Department of Energy's (DOE's) comments on GAO's May 25, 1982, report on the same subject. In that report, GAO raised a number of questions about DOE's justification for building a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment plant at Portsmouth, Ohio, at a cost of $7 billion (fiscal year 1983 dollars). The thrust of DOE's comments on GAO's report is that DOE must build the gas centrifuge plant or it will price itself out of the uranium enrichment market. Upon careful analysis of DOE's comments, GAO continues to believe the issues raised in its May 25 report are appropriatefor consideration by the Congress. After DOE commented on GAO's report, two events occurred which also bear on the issues discussed in GAO's report and DOE's comments. Specifically, DOE accelerated its timetables for developing two advanced enrichment technologies. This supplement, therefore, also briefly discusses DOE's decisions to accelerate these development programs and the technical basis for them. _:D S1 ?, 121730 1ccou \x GAO/EMD-82-88S JUNE 24, 1983 0 O 59 P3
