GAO Reviews Security of DOE Controlled Nuclear Materials
Posted by K.E. White on January 30, 2010
Some fun facts:
- The Department of Energy(D.O.E.) possesses and secures its own nuclear materials.
- The D.O.E. sites storing these holding these materials are protected by private contractors.
- A separate agreement governs each nuclear site
Such a decentralized system–on its face–doesn’t seem best at cutting costs or ensuring effective security. But we should all read the GAO report first.
