Independent Assessment of Conduct of Operations at the Hanford Site 324 Building Disposition Project

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of the effectiveness of conduct of operations implemented by the Central Plateau Cleanup Company (CPCCo) at the Hanford Site 324 Building Disposition Project from August through October 2022. This assessment evaluated the effectiveness of CPCCo in managing and maintaining a conduct-of-operations program, including performance-based observations of 324 Building operations and radiological control practices. This assessment also evaluated the effectiveness of DOE Richland Operations Office and Office of River Protection (together “DOE Hanford”) oversight of the CPCCo conduct-of-operations program and radiological control practices.
