Emergency Preparedness Capability Assessment at the Pantex Plant

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Emergency Management Assessments, within the independent Office of Enterprise Assessments, assessed the validation of emergency preparedness capabilities at the Pantex Plant (Pantex). This assessment is part of a targeted review of emergency preparedness for high-hazard facilities within DOE and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). This targeted review evaluated the processes for identifying and maintaining emergency response capabilities in a state of readiness to protect the health and safety of workers and the public for any incident, whether natural or manmade, that requires response action beyond normal operations.
