Independent Assessment of the Transuranic Waste All-Hazards Planning Basis at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of the all-hazards planning basis for transuranic waste operations at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) from June to August 2024. This assessment evaluated the effectiveness of both the Livermore Field Office and its management and operating contractor, Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS), in developing and maintaining the all-hazards planning basis for transuranic waste operations at the LLNL waste storage facilities and Superblock facilities. This assessment also examined the completion and effectiveness of corrective actions for a finding from a previous EA assessment, Independent Assessment of Emergency Management at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, December 2022, that is related to the transuranic waste all-hazards planning basis.
