Enterprise Assessments Assessment of the Savannah River Site Emergency Management Exercise Program – October 2018
Assessment of the Emergency Management Program at the Savannah River Site
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Emergency Management Assessments, within the independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA), conducted an assessment of the emergency management exercise program at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The overall purpose was to assess the effectiveness of the emergency management program by observing and evaluating the full-scale exercise, identifying performance strengths and weaknesses, and conducting limited causal analysis of observed weaknesses. The assessment also included a review of the exercise program and an appraisal of the closure of two previous findings. The SRS emergency management program is currently making the transition from DOE Order 151.1C, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, to DOE Order 151.1D requirements.
