[DOE LETTERHEAD]
NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
June 23, 2003
The Honorable John T. Conway
Chairman
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
625 Indiana Avenue, NW, Suite 700
Washington, DC 20004-2901
Dear Mr. Chairman:
Your letter of April 10, 2003, requested a
report within 60 days that addresses how the Department will resolve your
concerns in the current safety bases for some of the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory’s defense nuclear facilities. A response, developed by the National Nuclear Security
Administration’s Livermore Site Office and Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory is enclosed. I think it
represents a reasonable approach to address the issues raised in your letter. Livermore Site Office and Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory management would like to brief the Board in October on the
progress of addressing your concerns.
Ms. Camille Yuan-Soo Hoo, Manager of the Livermore Site Office, is
responsible for ensuring resolution of these issues. If you have any questions, please contact her at 510-637-1800.
Sincerely,
Linton F. Brooks
Administrator
