This report presents the results of one in a series of Technical Safety Appraisals (TSA) of Department of Energy (DOE) operations (nuclear and nonnuclear) being conducted by the Assistant Secretary of Environment, Safety, and Health, Office of Safety Appraisals. TSAs are one of the initiatives announced by the Secretary of Energy on September 18, 1985, to enhance the DOE environment, safety, and health program. This report provides the results of a TSA of the University of California - Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (UC-LBL) site. LBL is a multiprogram national laboratory managed by UC for DOE. Its role fulfills a four-part mission to perform innovative multi-disciplinary research in the national interest in energy sciences and technology, high-energy and nuclear physics, and environment and health, to develop and operate unique national experimental facilities for use by qualified investigators, to educate and train future generations of scientists and engineers, and to foster the transfer of technology to US industry.
