The Government Accountability Office should release a report on the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in the coming weeks, the Citizens Advisory Board for nuclear cleanup heard Monday.
Savannah River Citizens Advisory Board Chair Gregg Murray dropped the news at the outset of the two-day meeting, being carried via Youtube.
The report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is expected to address H Canyon, Murray said. Murray recently spent about 90 minutes meeting with GAO on another upcoming report by the congressional watchdog, which deals with DOE Office of Environmental Management public outreach, he said. H Canyon, which has been in operation since the 1950s, is currently used for nonproliferation and environmental cleanup, according to DOE.
The report Murray referenced could be out in late November or early December, a GAO representative told Exchange Monitor Monday.
On Tuesday, the Citizens Advisory Board was scheduled to hear a briefing from the National Nuclear Security Administration, which will take over landlord responsibility for the Savannah River Site effective in October 2024.
