Audit of Relocation of Administrative Personnel from A-Area to B-Area at the Savannah River Site
Evaluation of "The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Cyber Security Program-2003"
The Security Afforded Selected Tritium Reservoir Shipments (U)
The Department’s Unclassified Cyber Security Program-2003
While improvements were made during the last year, we noted that
additional work is needed to correct problems with risk-based security
management, continuity of operations, configuration management, and
access controls. Despite policy changes and prompting by the
Department of Energy's (Department) Chief Information Officer (CIO),
sites and organizations had also not significantly improved computer
incident reporting.

Savannah River Site's Waste Solidification Building
The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) plans to
spend about $58 million to design and construct a facility at the Savannah River Site
which will treat radioactive liquid wastes. The proposed facility, commonly referred to
as the Waste Solidification Building (WSB), will produce several waste forms acceptable
for disposal at existing sites around the complex. This effort is a part of the Department's
Plutonium Disposition Program. NNSA approved the conceptual design for the WSB in
July 2002. Construction is scheduled to begin in December 2004, with expected facility
operation beginning in 2007. We conducted this audit to determine whether the
Department has a complete plan to dispose of waste generated from the Plutonium
Disposition Program. adc=

Security Over Wireless Networking Technologies
An increasing number of the Department of Energy's organizations are using wireless
communications devices and networks. Such technologies enable the transmission of data
without physical connection using radio frequency. Wireless technologies range from such
complex systems as wireless local area networks, cell phones, and personal digital assistants to
relatively simple devices that do not process or store information, such as wireless headphones,
and microphones.
