Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the extent to which the Department of Energy (DOE) considered nuclear events at its Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) in determining the INEL contractor's award fee, focusing on: (1) airborne radiation releases that may have exposed the public to radiation levels greater than current public exposure standards; and (2) events that resulted in one or more workers receiving radiation exposure that exceeded current annual standards.
