In the Matter of: Fuzhou Sunlight Lighting Electrical Appliance Company, Ltd. (lamps), DOE Case Number 2010-SE-1402, Notice of Allowance. After issuing a notice of a determination of non-compliance, DOE received updated test results from Fuzhou (who manufactures covered products sold by Westinghouse). DOE found that testing procedures now comformed to DOE testing standards, and that the results showed that all but one of these models complied with relevant energy efficiency standards. Here, the DOE permits Fuzhou to resume production and distribution of those compliant products.

The Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility that is part of the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) nuclear weapons complex. Los Alamos' primary mission is to ensure the safety, security and reliability of the Nation's nuclear deterrent force. To meet its mission, Los Alamos employees and subcontractors operate in close proximity to or in contact with special nuclear materials, explosives and hazardous chemicals. NNSA's Los Alamos Site Office is responsible for overseeing the operations of Los Alamos. Since June 1, 2006, Los Alamos National Security, LLC, has managed and operated Los Alamos under contract with NNSA. The Department considers safety an integral part of its mission, operating in compliance with nuclear safety requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 830 (10 CFR 830), Nuclear Safety Management. The Regulation, among other things, requires contractors to complete, and update as conditions change, Documented Safety Analyses (DSA) that identify hazards associated with relevant work processes and to design and implement controls over such hazards. Further, under DOE Order 414.1C, Quality Assurance, contractors are required to develop and implement a Quality Assurance Program to prevent or detect safety or other problems in the workplace. The DSA and Quality Assurance requirements are critically important and are designed, when properly implemented, to protect workers, the public and facilities from the potentially devastating effects of nuclear-related accidents. We initiated this audit to determine whether Los Alamos had fully implemented the required nuclear safety management regime.
