Review of Selected Elements of Emergency Management at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory

This report provides the results of an independent oversight review of selected elements of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) emergency management program.  The review was performed between September and November 2010 by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Safety and Emergency Management Evaluations, which is within the DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security.  The focus of the review was to verify the status of corrective actions from a prior emergency management program inspection, assess two recent event after-action reports, and assess the DOE ORNL Site Office and University of Tennessee-Battelle, LLC emergency management self-assessment and issues management programs.
