The purpose for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) action is the title transfer of unneeded DOE real property located at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) in order to help support the accelerated cleanup of ETTP and to continue to support economic development in the region. DOE's action is needed to help reduce the eventual cost for building demolition and to reduce or eliminate ETTP site landlord costs. This would also help to free money for reinvestment in cleanup projects to further reduce risks at the site. DOE also recognizes that transferring unneeded property can help offset economic losses resulting from continued DOE downsizing, facility closures, and workforce restructuring.

A report by the International Nuclear Safety Advisory Group, International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA,

The Department of Energy and its facilities' management contractors have come under increased scrutiny regarding the management of sensitive personal property. The Department defined sensitive property as equipment susceptible to misappropriation for personal use or readily convertible to cash. Generally, this includes equipment such as computers, personal digital assistants, cameras, and communications equipment. The Department has made a significant investment in sensitive property. For example, our analysis of inventory records at the Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center disclosed that the acquisition cost of their active sensitive property inventories exceeded $152 million. Because of the importance of this issue, we initiated an audit at these sites to determine whether the Department was properly managing sensitive equipment.ety Board"}"}

Worldwide events have heightened concerns over terrorist attacks, particularly with regard to the possible use of weapons of mass destruction, including radioactive devices, in such attacks. A recent training exercise in Seattle, Washington, involving a simulated terrorist attack using a radioactive “dirty bomb” highlighted the importance of cooperation and coordination by Federal, State, and local governments in providing a rapid, planned response to a terrorist incident involving a weapon of mass destruction.ýïýïýïý
