Book Description
This paper discusses the initiative to transfer the regulation of Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The paper gives an overview of some of the major technical, policy and legal issues that accompany this initiative. The paper focuses on specific issues and how they may be affected by external regulation of occupational radiation protection at DOE facilities. Differences between the NRC and the DOE approach to regulating nuclear safety are compared and contrasted. Some projected impacts from this transition are examined. Finally, recommendations are provided that may enhance the transition, increasing the likelihood of successful external NRC regulation.

Department of Energy Uncertain Future for External Regulation of Worker and Nuclear Facility Safety

Pages : 0
Book Description
We are here today to testify on the status of the Department of Energy's (DOE) progress toward the external regulation of nuclear and worker safety at its facilities. DOE has recently completed a pilot program with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to simulate external regulation at selected facilities. Our testimony today discusses (1) DOE's changing positions on the desirability of external regulation for its facilities, (2) the disagreement between DOE and NRC on the potential costs and value added of external regulation, and (3) the uncertainties for the future of external regulation in DOE. Our testimony is based on our past and ongoing work on external regulation.

Book Description
Recurring problems in managing its programs and projects plagued the Dept. of Energy (DoE) to such a degree in the late 1980s and early 1990s that by 1995, DoE responded to calls for restructuring by initiating "unprecedented" reforms that it said would "fundamentally improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the department." This report: (1) describes actions taken by DoE to improve its performance in the early to mid-1990s; (2) assesses DoE progress since then in addressing management weaknesses and improving performance; and (3) identifies any underlying impediments to more effective management and improved performance at DoE.
