Independent Assessment of the Fire Protection Program at the Y-12 National Security Complex
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of the fire protection program (FPP) at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) on May 1-5, 2023. Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS) is the primary contractor for Y-12 operations, with the National Nuclear Security Administration Production Office (NPO) having overall Federal oversight responsibilities. The primary objective of this assessment was to evaluate the effectiveness of CNS’s implementation of the FPP for buildings 9204-2E and 9215 and management of open issues related to fire protection safety systems. Additionally, the assessment evaluated the effectiveness of NPO oversight related to CNS’s fire protection activities.
