Request to testify on the Department of Energy's (Department) contract administration activities. The Department is one of the most contractor dependent agencies in the Federal government. It places great reliance on contract operations to accomplish its mission. The basic premise of this relationship is that contractors manage the day-to-day operations, while the Department is responsible for administering the contracts to ensure that the taxpayers receive fair value for their money and that the contractors are held accountable for their performance.

Statement of Gregory H. Friedman Inspector General, U.S. Department of Energy Subject: Department of Energy's Contract Administration Activities

On February 15, 2001, an unanticipated airborne release of Plutonium-238 (Pu-238) occurred from a glovebox at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos) Technical Area 55 (TA-55) Site. The incident resulted in the contamination of workers. As required, Los Alamos officials prepared an Occurrence Report outlining the circumstances of the incident. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) referred to the Ofice of Inspector General a complaint that questioned the thoroughness and competence of the evaluation of the incident by Los Alamos and the failure to consider the procedural violations that caused the incident. Consequently, the purpose of our inspection was to evaluate the facts and circumstances surrounding the reporting of the incident.
