Description

Fed. officials, Congress, & the public have long voiced concerns about safety at the nation’s nuclear weapons labs: Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, & Sandia. The labs are overseen by the Nat. Nuclear Security Admin. (NNSA), while contractors carry out the majority of the work. A recent change to oversight policy would result in NNSA’s relying more on contractors’ own mgmt. controls, including those for assuring safety. This report discusses: (1) the recent history of safety problems at the labs & contributing factors; (2) steps taken to improve safety; & (3) challenges that remain to effective mgmt. & oversight of safety. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.
