Targeted Assessment of the Y-12 National Security Complex Uranium Processing Facility Preliminary Safety Design Basis
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Safety and Environmental Assessments, within the independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA), conducted a targeted assessment of the Preliminary Safety Design Report (PSDR) and Preliminary Safety Validation Report (PSVR) for the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12). The targeted assessment evaluated the current UPF preliminary safety design basis and also evaluated, using a sampling basis, the principal products of the design process such as preliminary design media and calculations. This assessment is part of a series of targeted safety basis assessments of nuclear facility design and construction projects at selected DOE sites.
