The Honorable Peter S. Winokur 

Chairman 

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 

625 Indiana Avenue NW, Suite 700 

Washington, DC 20004 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

The Department of Energy (DOE) 

acknowledges receipt of Defense 

Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (Board) 

Recommendation 2014–01, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response, issued on 

September 3, 2014, and published in the 

Federal Register on September 23, 2014. 

The Department shares the Board’s 

view that actions are needed to improve 

emergency preparedness and response 

capabilities at its defense nuclear 

facilities. As stated in my August 5, 

2014, letter to you, the Department’s 

emergency preparedness and response 

infrastructure, capabilities, and 

resources are of great importance to me 

and DOE’s senior leadership. 

Recommendation 2014–01 will 

complement the actions that the 

Department has already initiated to 

improve emergency management. I also 

stated that it is the Department’s 

responsibility to determine the requisite 

timeline to accomplish the actions in 

our Implementation Plan to address 

Board recommendations. 

I understand the Board’s enabling 

statute requires the Department to 

complete implementation of its plan 

within one year. I am placing a high 

priority on addressing the 

Recommendation; however, due to the 

complexity and broad reach of the 

Department’s actions, we probably will 

not be able to complete our corrective 

actions within one year, in which case 

we will make the necessary notifications 

prescribed by law. 

Therefore, with the exception of the 

‘‘end of 2016’’ timeline, DOE accepts the 

remainder of sub-Recommendation 1 

and all of sub-Recommendation 2. 

I share your intent to improve 

emergency management in the 

Department. In developing an 

Implementation Plan to address each 

specific action of this Recommendation, 

the Department will expeditiously 

proceed with improvements, 

accomplishing the highest priorities 

within a one-year period. We will 

prioritize efforts and will maintain a 

dialogue with your staff as we move 

forward to address your concerns. 

We appreciate the Board’s perspective 

and look forward to continued positive
