    The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board reviews and evaluates the
    content and implementation of standards relating to the design,
    construction, operation, and decommissioning of defense nuclear
    facilities of the Department of Energy.
    The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board was established as an
    independent agency on September 29, 1988, by the Atomic Energy Act of
    1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2286-2286i).
        The Board is composed of five members appointed by the President
    with the advice and consent of the Senate. Members of the Board are
    appointed from among United States citizens who are respected experts in
    the field of nuclear safety.

    Activities

    The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board reviews and evaluates the
    content and implementation of standards for defense nuclear facilities
    of the Department of Energy (DOE); investigates any event or practice at
    these facilities which may adversely affect public health and safety;
    and reviews and monitors the design, construction, and operation of
    facilities. The Board makes recommendations to the Secretary of Energy
    concerning DOE defense nuclear facilities to ensure adequate protection
    of public health and safety. In the event that any aspect of operations,
    practices, or occurrences reviewed by the Board is determined to present
    an imminent or severe threat to public health and safety, the Board
    transmits its recommendations directly to the President.
