The Department of Energy's (Department) spent nuclear fuel
Operations program at the Savannah River Site (Site) will likely require
Extended H-Canyon to be maintained at least two years beyond defined
operational needs. The Department committed to maintain
H-Canyon operational readiness to provide a disposal path for
degraded spent nuclear fuel, which may pose an immediate safety
and health risk, until a treatment or packaging capability is
available. However, as of January 2006, the Department had not
approved a specific technology to prepare the Site's spent nuclear
fuel for disposal.

This report presents the goals, objectives, and strategies for measuring the OIG’s FY 2006 actual performance and FY 2007 planned activities.
I am pleased to present the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG’s) combined Fiscal Year 2006 Annual Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Performance Plan. During Fiscal Year (FY) 2006, we examined a variety of issues of vital importance to the Department of Energy and the Nation. Our efforts identified the need for corrective action
on an array of issues ranging from systemic and situational vulnerabilities in Department security to cost and performance irregularities associated with the Nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile to the need for improved management oversight in the administration of Department contracts.

Implementation of the Department of Energy's Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry
The data in the Department of Energy's (Department) Beryllium-
Associated Worker Registry (Registry) was neither complete nor
fully accurate. Further, the Department had not used the Registry
to evaluate health effects of beryllium exposure or the prevalence
of beryllium disease, two of the objectives of the Chronic
Beryllium Disease Prevention Program (Prevention Program).
