Analytical Laboratory Capabilities at the Hanford Site

The Department of Energy (DOE) Richland Operations Office (Richland) was responsible for environmental restoration and waste management programs at the Hanford Site (Site). In support of these activities Site contractors used both on- and off-site analytical laboratory services. The objective of this audit was to determine if Richland had made the best use of the capabilities of the on-site analytical laboratories.
