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 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: 

1:00 p.m.–5:30 p.m., March 14, 2013; 

Session II: 7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m., March 

14, 2013. 

PLACE: Amarillo Civic Center, 401 S. 

Buchanan Street, Amarillo, Texas 

79101. The Board will convene the 

hearing in the Regency Room which is 

accessible from Entrance 4 on the 

Johnson Street side of the Civic Center. 

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 Government in 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 receive testimony from the 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration (NNSA) and its 

contractor concerning the safety culture 

at the Pantex Plant. Areas of inquiry 

will include identification of shortfalls 

in the Pantex safety culture, potential 

impacts that a flawed safety culture may 

have on nuclear explosives operations, 

and management approaches to 

improving safety culture. The Board 

will also examine the status of 

emergency preparedness at the Pantex 

Plant. The Board will focus on plans 

and capabilities to respond to a site 

emergency, demonstrated performance 

in drills and exercises, and preparation 

for severe events resulting from natural 

phenomena, such as the event that 

occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi 

complex. During Session II, the Board 

will receive testimony concerning safety 

at Pantex defense nuclear facilities. The 

Board will examine issues related to 

nuclear explosive safety, fire protection 

systems, and facility structures. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Manager, Defense Nuclear Facilities 

Safety Board, 625 Indiana Avenue NW.,

participation in the hearing is invited. 

The Board is setting aside time at the 

end of each session of the hearing for 

presentations and comments from the 

public. Requests to speak may be

who wishes to comment or provide 

technical information or data may do so 

in writing, either in lieu of, or in 

addition to, making an oral 

presentation. The Board Members may 

question presenters to the extent 

deemed appropriate. Documents will be 

accepted at the hearing or may be sent
