Follow-up Review of the Salt Waste Processing Systems and Fire Protection at the Savannah River Site
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted a review of construction quality and performed a follow up review of the fire protection program at the DOE Savannah River Site Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF). EA’s Office of Environment, Safety and Health Assessments conducted this review from July 20 to 24, 2015. EA is performing a series of these reviews across the DOE complex to ensure that design and construction of DOE facilities meet the requirements of 10 Code of Federal Regulations 830 Subpart A, Quality Assurance Requirements, and DOE Order 420.1B, Facility Safety. DOE Order 420.1B requires fire protection programs to comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes. Parsons Corporation (Parsons) is under contract with DOE to design, construct, and commission the SWPF.
