The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board reviews and evaluates the
content and implementation of standards relating to the design,
construction, operation, and decommissioning of defense nuclear
facilities of the Department of Energy (DOE).
The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board was established as an
independent agency on September 29, 1988, by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2286-2286i).
The Board is composed of five members appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate. Members of the Board are
appointed from among United States citizens who are respected experts in
the field of nuclear safety.
Activities
The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board reviews and evaluates the
content and implementation of standards for defense nuclear facilities
of DOE; investigates any event or practice at these facilities which may
adversely affect public health and safety; and reviews and monitors the
design, construction, and operation of facilities. The Board makes
recommendations to the Secretary of Energy concerning DOE defense
nuclear facilities to ensure adequate protection of public health and
safety. In the event that any aspect of operations, practices, or
occurrences reviewed by the Board is determined to present an imminent
or severe threat to public health and safety, the Board transmits its
recommendations directly to the President.
