The Independent Technical Review Program Office performs independent technical reviews (ITRs) of major projects, major system acquisitions, and major programs. The customers for these reviews have been the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, and the Office of Facility Transition and Management. The ITRs focus on five areas: phenomenology, process engineering, facility engineering, regulatory requirements, and project management and control. A portion of the review is typically devoted to recommending new paths forward for the organization(s) under review. A team of technical experts performs each review consistent with the tasks negotiated in a charter with the DOE customer. We emphasize that the ITRs are not audits.
