The Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board added two new areas of concern to its annual submission to Congress, highlighting the aging double-shell tanks at the Hanford Reservation and degrading fire protection pumps and tanks at the Savannah River Site’s A Area. The two issues were the only new entries on the Defense Board’s annual report, which was submitted to Congress Oct. 30 but released yesterday. The report included many areas of longstanding concern for the DNFSB, including: Los Alamos National Laboratory’s seismically vulnerable Plutonium Facility and Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Facility, LANL’s Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility, the Y-12 National Security Complex’s aging 9212 Complex, the Nevada National Security Site’s Device Assembly Facility, the Pantex Plant’s fire suppression systems, Hanford’s single-shell tank farms as well as its T Plant, and Savannah River’s aging H-Canyon facility and tank farms.
