Focused Independent Assessment of Emergency Management Corrective Actions at National Nuclear Security Administration and Office of Environmental Management Sites - March 2022

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted independent follow-up assessments to evaluate the resolution of emergency management findings that EA previously identified at eight DOE sites. The corrective action follow-up assessments were conducted from October 2020 through September 2021. The purpose of the appraisals was to verify that site personnel properly closed previous findings in order to prevent recurrence. A total of 59 previous findings from EA over the past nine years were reviewed. Five of the assessed sites are under the direction of the National Nuclear Security Administration, and three are under the direction of the Office of Environmental Management.
