DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES 

SAFETY BOARD 

Sunshine Act Notice 

AGENCY: Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board. 

ACTION: Notice of public hearing and 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of 

the ‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’ 

(5 U.S.C. 552b), notice is hereby given 

of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 

Board’s (Board) public hearing and 

meeting described below. The Board 

will conduct a public hearing and 

meeting pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2286b 

and invites any interested persons or 

groups to present any comments, 

technical information, or data 

concerning safety issues related to the 

matters to be considered. 

TIME AND DATE OF MEETING: Session I: 1– 

5 p.m., November 17, 2011; Session II: 

7–9 p.m., November 17, 2011. 

PLACE: Santa Fe Community Convention 

Center, 201 West Marcy Street, Santa Fe, 

New Mexico 87501. Parking will be 

available at no cost. 

STATUS: Open. While the Government in 

the Sunshine Act does not require that 

the scheduled discussion be conducted 

in a meeting, the Board has determined 

that an open meeting in this specific 

case furthers the public interests 

underlying both the Sunshine Act and 

the Board’s enabling legislation. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: In this 

public hearing and meeting, the Board 

wishes to further explore safety matters 

and gather other information related to 

public and worker health and safety for 

defense nuclear facilities at the Los 

Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). 

During Session I, the Board will 

examine the seismic safety of the 

Plutonium Facility. The Board will 

receive testimony on National Nuclear 

Security Administration (NNSA) actions 

to address Plutonium Facility seismic 

vulnerabilities that lead to severe 

postulated accident scenarios. The 

Board is also interested in the status of 

actions identified in NNSA’s response 

to the Board’s Recommendation 2009–2, 

Los Alamos National Laboratory 

Plutonium Facility Seismic Safety, 

which was issued on October 26, 2009. 

The Board will also examine the status 

of emergency preparedness at the 

laboratory and will receive testimony 

concerning how well NNSA and its 

contractor are prepared to respond to 

site emergencies, including threats from 

natural phenomena. The Board is also 

interested in lessons learned from the 

events at the Fukushima Daiichi 

complex, the recent Las Conchas fire, 

and the 2000 Cerro Grande fire and the 

actions taken to incorporate these 

lessons learned at the site-wide level 

and in defense nuclear facility 

operations. During Session II, the Board 

will examine NNSA’s efforts to mitigate 

risks to public and worker safety posed 

by existing aging defense nuclear 

facilities and NNSA’s efforts to ensure 

the integration of safety-in-design for 

modern replacement facilities. The 

Board will receive testimony on the 

operations and safety basis at existing 

LANL defense nuclear facilities, 

including the Chemistry and Metallurgy 

Research Building, Area G in Technical 

Area-54, and the Radioactive Liquid 

Waste Treatment Facility. The Board 

will also receive testimony on the 

integration of safety-in-design for the 

Chemistry and Metallurgy Research 

Replacement project, the new 

Transuranic Waste Facility, and the 

Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment 

Facility Upgrade project. The public 

hearing portion of this proceeding is 

authorized by 42 U.S.C. 2286b.
