Review of the Facility Representative Program at the Idaho Site

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enforcement and Oversight (Independent Oversight) within the Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS), performed an independent review of the Facility Representative (FR) program at the Idaho Site. The review was performed by the HSS Office of Safety and Emergency Management Evaluations by shadowing a DOE Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) assessment team during its periodic self-assessment of the program. The purpose of this Independent Oversight review effort was to evaluate the FR program and FR self-assessment methodology implemented at the Idaho Site.

This review was performed at the Idaho Site from November 13 to 16, 2012. This report discusses the scope, background, results, conclusions, and opportunities for improvement (OFIs) resulting from this review, as well as any items needing further follow-up by HSS.
