The Honorable John T. Conway,
Chairman, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, 625 Indiana
Avenue NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004 [[Page 13426]]
Dear Mr. Conway: This is to advise you, pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
2286d(e), that the Department of Energy will require an additional
45 days to respond to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
Recommendation 94-3, regarding seismic and systems safety at the
Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site.
The Department recently made some management changes at the
Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site. Because of these changes,
and the need for the development of acceptance criteria for safety
adequacy and systems for identifying facility upgrades, more time is
necessary to respond. In addition, the Department believes that it
is necessary to integrate its response to Recommendation 94-3 with
Recommendation 90-5, (Systematic Evaluation Program). The
Implementation Plan for Recommendation 94-3 will be provided to the
Board by April 10, 1995.
Sincerely,
Hazel R. O'Leary.
