    Now, after further review of the plutonium and uranium materials stored in vaults, and considering DOE’s recent adoption of a phased canyon strategy for current and potential nuclear material management missions, DOE has decided to: (1) add an additional method, Processing and Storage for Vitrification in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF), to those being implemented for the management of plutonium and uranium stored in vaults; and (2) amend its September 6, 1996, ROD to stabilize the plutonium-239 and neptunium-237 solutions stored in H-Canyon and obsolete neptunium-237 targets stored in K-Reactor to oxide forms using the H- Canyon facilities. These management methods were fully analyzed in the Final EIS.

    In 1991, Lockheed Martin Energy Systems (Energy Systems) determined that new bioassay and environmental sampling laboratories were needed to meet increasing workload and staffing requirements. Energy Systems proposed and the Department of Energy (Department) approved a solicitation for a private company to construct a facility which Energy Systems would lease back on behalf of the Department. Energy Systems entered into a lease for this purpose in August 1994 and moved into the facility in October 1995. We initiated this audit to determine if the Department’s acquisition of the Union Valley Sample Preparation Facility (UVSPF) was necessary and cost effective.
