Review of the Emergency Management Exercise Program at the Pantex Plant
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted a review of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Pantex Plant exercise program. The purpose of this EA review was to evaluate the exercise program’s effectiveness in validating, through tests and demonstrations, response elements of the Pantex emergency management program. EA performed this review from April 21 to May 21, 2015, and complements the EA severe event response exercise evaluation performed at the Pantex Plant in 2014 to provide a more complete evaluation of the Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS) exercise program.
