**DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES**
**SAFETY BOARD**

**Sunshine Act Notice**

**AGENCY :**  Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Public Meeting and Hearing.

**SUMMARY :**  Pursuant to the provisions of
the ‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’

(5 U.S.C. 552b), and as authorized by 42 U.S.C. 2286b, notice is hereby given of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’s (Board) public meeting and hearing described below. The Board invites interested persons or groups to present comments, technical information, or data concerning safety
issues related to the matters to be
considered.

**TIME AND DATE OF MEETING :**  Session I: 1 p.m.—5 p.m., October 2, 2012; Session II: 6:30 p.m.—9 p.m., October 2, 2012. **PLACE :**  Knoxville Convention Center, 701 Henley Street, Knoxville, Tennessee

37902.

**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 Session I of this public meeting and hearing, the
Board will examine the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) efforts to mitigate risks to public and worker safety posed by aging
defense nuclear facilities at the Y–12 National Security Complex. The Board will receive testimony from NNSA and its contractors concerning the operations at existing Y–12 defense nuclear facilities, including Building 9212, Building 9204–2E, and Building
9215. The Board is interested in actions
taken to address recent issues with conduct of operations, maintenance, and work planning; the contractor’s processes for identifying and resolving safety issues; and the effectiveness of NNSA’s oversight for nuclear operations. The Board will also examine the status of emergency preparedness at Y–12 and will receive testimony concerning how well NNSA and its contractor are prepared to respond to severe events and site emergencies. The
Board is interested in lessons learned
from the events at the Fukushima Daiichi complex 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 receive testimony regarding factors that could affect the timely execution and safety of the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) project. These factors include the federal project team’s strategy for identifying and resolving safety issues in a timely manner. The Board is also interested in exploring the potential safety impacts of NNSA’s decision to accelerate the acquisition of select processing capabilities and defer others to a later date, as well as the potential for weaknesses in technology development to impact safety. The public hearing portion of this proceeding is authorized by 42 U.S.C.
2286b.
