The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board is
an independent federal agency established by Congress in 1988. The
Board's mandate under the Atomic Energy Act is to provide safety
oversight of the nuclear weapons complex operated by the Department
of Energy (DOE). The nuclear weapons program remains a complex and
hazardous operation. DOE must maintain readiness of the nuclear
arsenal, dismantle surplus weapons, dispose of excess radioactive
materials, clean up surplus facilities, and construct new facilities
for many purposes. The constant vigilance of the Board is required to ensure that all of these activities are carried out by DOE in a manner
that provides adequate protection for the public, workers, and the environment. |
