Technical Report · Mon Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1990

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5133744· OSTI ID:5133744

This document provides an overall environmental, safety and health compliance assessment of the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The major focus of the current Compliance Assessment included environmental compliance, a Technical Safety Appraisal, and a management appraisal. Although a significant number of environmental, safety and health findings and concerns are contained in this Report, when viewed in context of the size of the operation and the number of ongoing activities and contractors, the ES H programs at the NTS are basically an immediate risk to public health or the environment.
