DNFSB letter and report, on “Conduct of Operations Safety Management Program at the Savannah River Site,” January 4, 2018 – linked here
“Members of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’s (Board) staff and the Department of Energy (DOE) have identified safety issues with the Conduct of Operations (ConOps) safety management program at Savannah River Site (SRS). The staff identified these safety issues at facilities operated by both Savannah River Nuclear Solution and Savannah River Remediation. These safety issues challenge the ability of operations personnel to operate SRS’s defense nuclear facilities in compliance with their safety bases. They also demonstrate the need for improvements in the SRS contractors’ corrective action programs to ensure timely and effective resolution of operational issues.”
