The laboratory's new Decontamination and Waste Treatment Facility is a $62 million complex that includes buildings designed for both temporarily storing waste and treating it for off-site disposal. Although construction was completed in 2001, the storage building did not begin operating until September 2002, and the treatment buildings remain unused to this day. GAO was asked to identify the cause of the delay in initiating storage and treatment operations at the facility, the effects of the delay in initiating treatment operations, and the steps taken to ensure that the latest estimated date for initiating treatment operations at the facility can be met. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-558/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-558.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-558/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-558.pdf GAO-03-558 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-558 Other Written Product GAO-03-558; Radioactive Waste: DOE Has Acted to Address Delay in New Facility at Livermore Laboratory, but Challenges Remain; Hazardous substances Radioactive wastes Waste treatment Schedule slippages Nuclear waste storage Federal facilities Title 10 Part 830 10 CFR Part 830
