(1) The Department of Energy and its contrac-
tors rely to a significant extent on workers to bring 
attention to important nuclear safety concerns. 
(2) The Department of Energy, including the 
National Nuclear Security Administration, have a 
strong interest in preventing whistleblower retalia-
tion and in ensuring the work environment is condu-
cive to employees raising concerns.

(3) Retaliation against whistleblowers can lead 
to a chilled work environment in which employees do 
not feel free to raise important safety concerns. 
(4) The Comptroller General of the United 
States found in a 2016 report titled ‘‘Whistleblower 
Protections Need Strengthening’’ that the Depart-
ment of Energy had infrequently used its enforce-
ment authority to hold contractors accountable for 
unlawful retaliation, issuing only two violation no-
tices in the past 20 years. 
(5) The Comptroller General also found that 
the Department had taken limited or no action to 
hold contractors accountable for creating a chilled 
work environment. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) raising nuclear safety concerns is important 
for avoiding potentially catastrophic incidents or 
harm to workers and the public; 
(2) the Department of Energy should protect 
whistleblowers and take action against contractors 
and subcontractors that retaliate against whistle-
blowers; and 
(3) such action sends a strong signal to prevent 
or limit retaliation against whistleblowers.
