OSTI ID:461276

The objective of the Plutonium Environment, Safety, and Health (ES&H) Vulnerability Assessment Project was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the ES&H vulnerabilities arising from the Department of Energy (DOE) storage and handling of its current plutonium holdings. The purpose of this assessment was to identify and prioritize ES&H vulnerabilities that could lead to unnecessary or increased radiation exposure of workers, release of radioactive materials to the environment, or radiation exposure of the public. The results will serve as an information base for identifying interim corrective actions and options for the safe management of fissile materials.
