1Table 1 of Appendix A to Subpart B of 10 CFR 

830 lists acceptable methodologies for developing 

safety analyses to meet requirements in 10 CFR 830. 

Such methodologies are referred to as ‘‘safe 

harbors.’’ Throughout this document the phrase 

‘‘onsite transportation safe harbors’’ refers to both 

DOE Order 460.1D, Hazardous Materials Packaging 

and Transportation Safety, and DOE Guide 460.1– 

1, Implementation Guide for Use with DOE O 

460.1A, Packaging and Transportation Safety, as 

they relate to the preparation of an onsite TSD for 

radioactive materials that are not of national 

security interest.

Recommendation 2023–01 

AGENCY: Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board. 

ACTION: Notice; recommendation. 

SUMMARY: The Defense Nuclear 

Facilities Safety Board has made a 

Recommendation to the Secretary of 

Energy concerning the U.S. Department 

of Energy’s (DOE) regulatory safety 

framework related to onsite 

transportation and safety deficiencies in 

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s 

transportation safety document. 

Pursuant to the requirements of the

the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 

Board is publishing the 

Recommendation and associated 

correspondence with DOE and 

requesting comments from interested 

members of the public. 

DATES: Comments, data, views, or 

arguments concerning the 

recommendation are due on or by 

March 11, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments concerning 

this notice to: Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board, 625 Indiana Avenue NW, 

Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004–2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Recommendation 2023–1 to the 

Secretary of Energy 

Onsite Transportation Safety 

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2286a(b)(5) 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, As 

Amended 

Introduction. The Defense Nuclear 

Facilities Safety Board (Board) has 

evaluated Los Alamos National 

Laboratory’s (LANL) safety basis for 

onsite transportation, detailed in the 

laboratory’s transportation safety 

document (TSD); the safe harbors 1 for 

onsite transportation of radioactive 

materials identified in the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s (DOE) Nuclear 

Safety Management rule, 10 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 830; and 

the ability of DOE’s safety oversight 

framework to identify and correct safety 

issues with its safe harbors and the 

TSDs at its defense nuclear facilities. 

The Board identified safety 

weaknesses in LANL’s onsite TSD, 

stemming in part from weaknesses in 

the safe harbors that govern TSD 

development, and communicated its 

safety concerns to the Secretary of 

Energy in a January 6, 2022, letter. The 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration’s (NNSA) management 

and operating contractor at LANL, Triad 

National Security, LLC, implemented 

compensatory safety measures for onsite 

transportation of radioactive materials 

in March 2023, following a letter of 

direction from the NNSA Los Alamos 

Field Office (NA–LA). Triad formally 

incorporated the compensatory 

measures into revisions of the LANL 

TSD and technical safety requirements 

(TSR), which NA–LA approved in 

August 2023, with two conditions of 

approval (COA) [2]. These measures and 

COAs represent an improvement to the 

safety of onsite transportation of 

radioactive materials at LANL; however, 

more work is necessary to ensure the 

LANL TSD appropriately identifies all 

hazards, analyzes all pertinent accident 

scenarios, and evaluates the 

effectiveness of all credited safety 

controls. 

NA–LA had approved Triad’s 

deficient TSD on the basis that it met 

the applicable safe harbors for safety 

analysis identified in 10 CFR 830. Until 

DOE revises the safe harbors for onsite 

transportation of radioactive materials 

to provide clear and effective safety 

requirements, the risk remains that 

LANL or other defense nuclear sites 

may regress to inadequate TSDs that fail 

to provide an effective set of safety 

controls. The Board has concluded the 

following: 

(1) The recently approved 

compensatory safety measures are 

welcomed; however, the LANL TSD 

requirements and their implementation 

do not ensure that onsite transportation 

activities at LANL are conducted in a 

manner that ensures adequate 

protection of public health and safety; 

(2) The requirements of the safe 

harbors do not ensure that onsite 

transportation activities are conducted 

in a manner that ensures adequate 

protection of public health and safety; 

and 

(3) DOE failed to address known 

safety deficiencies in its safe harbors for 

onsite transportation of radioactive 

materials and neglected to take timely 

action to correct the safety issues with 

the LANL TSD. 

Background. 10 CFR 830 specifies 

that onsite transportation of radioactive 

materials at DOE sites may be 

conducted either in accordance with 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

regulations or under a specific type of 

documented safety analysis (DSA) 

known as a TSD. Table 1 in Appendix 

A to Subpart B of 10 CFR 830 identifies 

the following safe harbor methodology 

for preparing DSAs/TSDs for onsite 

transportation activities: 

• Preparing a Safety Analysis Report 

for Packaging in accordance with DOE 

Order 460.1A, Packaging and 

Transportation Safety, October 2, 1996, 

or successor document; and 

• Preparing a Transportation Safety 

Document in accordance with DOE 

Guide 460.1–1, Implementation Guide 

for Use with DOE O 460.1A, Packaging 

and Transportation Safety, June 5, 1997, 

or successor document. 

Following a safety review of the 

LANL TSD, the Board identified safety 

issues with both the LANL TSD and the 

onsite transportation safe harbors in 10 

CFR 830. The Board documented these 

safety issues in a letter to the Secretary 

of Energy dated January 6, 2022. DOE 

responded on September 13, 2022, 

stating its agreement with, and plans to 

address, the Board’s safety concerns. 

However, DOE’s response only partially 

addressed the safety concerns identified 

by the Board. Furthermore, DOE did not 

ensure that LANL took timely action to 

implement compensatory measures at 

LANL that are needed to provide 

adequate protection of workers and the 

public during onsite transportation 

activities in the absence of an adequate 

TSD. 

Analysis. Attachment B, Findings, 

Supporting Data, and Analysis, provides 

additional detail and supporting 

analysis for this recommendation, the 

conclusions of which are discussed 

below. 

LANL Transportation Safety 

Document—10 CFR 830 defines a DSA 

(including TSDs) as ‘‘a documented 

analysis of the extent to which a nuclear 

facility can be operated safely with 

respect to workers, the public, and the
