  • Department of Energy (DOE)
    Draft 2019 Report_13 February 2020 Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution Fourteenth Annual Report May 2020 DRAFT U.S. Department of Energy i Draft 2019 Report_13 February 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The September 7, 2012 Memorandum on Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution (ECCR Memorandum) issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) supersedes an OMB/CEQ joint memorandum issued in November 28, 2005, on Environmental Conflict Resolution and broadens the efforts called for under the 2005 memorandum by explicitly encouraging appropriate and effective upfront environmental collaboration to minimize or prevent conflict. The ECCR Memorandum defines ECCR as “third-party assisted collaborative problem solving and conflict resolution in the context of environmental, public lands, or natural resources issues or conflicts.” Recognizing the role of collaboration in conflict resolution and its history of collaborative approaches, both with and without third-party neutrals, to prevent or resolve environmental conflicts, the Department of Energy (Department or DOE) defines ECCR more expansively than the ECCR Memorandum. The Department defines ECCR as the use of any collaborative process to prevent or resolve environmental conflicts, whether or not the process involves the use of third-party neutrals. This definition is consistent with the spirit of the ECCR Memorandum which stated the following. The challenge of implementing Federal policies and programs can often be met with collaborative, constructive, and timely approaches to identify and address affected interests, consider alternatives, and reach solutions before different positions or opinions result in conflict. Collaborative efforts involving the public and policy and program coordination within and across multiple levels of government are important for addressing these challenges.

  • K Area Complex
    from the Savannah River Site ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP • NATIONAL SECURITY • SCIENCE AND ENERGY K Area Complex The K Area Complex (KAC) provides for the handling and interim storage of our nation’s excess plutonium and other special nuclear materials (SNM). In addition, K Area is a component of the U.S. commitment to international nonproliferation efforts to store plutonium in a safe and environmentally sound manner. The Savannah River Site (SRS) is the recognized leader for managing the plutonium surveillance program throughout the Department of Energy (DOE) Complex. The KAC is DOE’s only Category 1 SNM storage facility designated for interim safe storage of plutonium at SRS. The principal K Area Complex operations building formerly housed K Reactor, which produced nuclear materials to support the United States during the Cold War for nearly four decades. It was the DOE’s last operating production reactor, shutting down in 1992. The facility was chosen as the premier DOE Complex plutonium storage facility for several reasons: • It underwent stringent, well-documented seismic and structural upgrades during the early 1990s. • It is a robust building, constructed of concrete walls many feet thick. • Much of the security infrastructure was already in place. • Necessary modifications were relatively minor, compared to the alternative of constructing a new building. SRS has assisted the DOE Complex in saving millions of taxpayer dollars through the consolidation of surplus plutonium from SRS’s FB Line, as the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site in Colorado, the Hanford Site in Washington, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California.

Swanson Steven Gaither May 25, 2007 • Final Report New South Associates Technical Report 1433 ii ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This documentation was prepared in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by the Department of Energy–Savannah River (DOE-SR) and the South Carolina Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) dated February 17, 2004, as well as the Consolidated MOA of August 2004. The MOA stipulated that a thematic study and photographic documentation be undertaken on A Area historic properties 703-A and 708-A. In addition, a Cultural Resource Management Plan was accepted and signed by DOE-SR and the SHPO on December 9, 2004 calling for documentation of the remainder of the A Area buildings that were deemed eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as contributing resources to a Savannah River Site (SRS) Cold War Historic District. The impetus for the study was the imminent decommissioning and/or dismantling of the majority of NRHP eligible buildings in A Area. The resulting narrative is based on field analysis, oral history, primary documentation and research.

Hagemeyer D.B. Holcomb Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) ForewordForeword The U.S. Department of Energy Occupational Radiation Exposure Report for Calendar Year 2019 presents Foreword the results of analyses of occupational radiation exposures at the Department of Energy (DOE), including the National Nuclear Security Administration operations, during calendar year 2019. This report includes occupational radiation exposure data for over 75,000 DOE Federal employees, contractors, and subcontractors, as well as members of the public who have worked or entered controlled areas monitored for exposure to radiation. DOE publishes this annual report to provide DOE Management, Program Offices, workers, health physicists and other stakeholders an evaluation of DOE-wide performance regarding compliance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 835, Occupational Radiation Protection (10 CFR 835) radiation exposure limits and adherence to as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) principles. This report provides a discussion regarding radiation protection and exposure reporting requirements as well as information and analyses regarding aggregate, individual, site, DOE Program, transient workers, and a 45-year historical review of DOE exposure data. DOE continues to be diligent in protecting its workers and the public from exposure to radiation as proven by the results contained in this report.
