Department of Energy: Observations on Using External Agencies to Regulate Nuclear and Worker Safety in DOE's Science Laboratories

Pages : 19
Book Description
Unlike other governmental, educational, and private sector research and development facilities in the United States, DOE's science laboratories are not regulated or licensed by external regulators, such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to help ensure safe operations. Instead, DOE and its predecessor agencies1 have, since 1946, been granted legislative authority to self-regulate nuclear and worker safety at all of their facilities, including the science laboratories. The merits of using external agencies to oversee safety in DOE facilities have been studied by the department and the Congress for nearly a decade. In 1999, we testified before this Subcommittee that DOE's changing positions and its inability to reach consensus with its likely regulators had left an uncertain future for the external regulation of the department's facilities. In this context, the conference report accompanying the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002 directed DOE to prepare an implementation plan for shifting regulatory responsibilities for nuclear and worker safety at its 10 science laboratories to NRC and OSHA. 2 DOE submitted its plan in July 2002.2.

Book Description
A respected resource for decades, the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals has been updated by a committee of experts, taking into consideration input from the scientific and laboratory animal communities and the public at large. The Guide incorporates new scientific information on common laboratory animals, including aquatic species, and includes extensive references. It is organized around major components of animal use: Key concepts of animal care and use. The Guide sets the framework for the humane care and use of laboratory animals. Animal care and use program. The Guide discusses the concept of a broad Program of Animal Care and Use, including roles and responsibilities of the Institutional Official, Attending Veterinarian and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Animal environment, husbandry, and management. A chapter on this topic is now divided into sections on terrestrial and aquatic animals and provides recommendations for housing and environment, husbandry, behavioral and population management, and more. Veterinary care. The Guide discusses veterinary care and the responsibilities of the Attending Veterinarian. It includes recommendations on animal procurement and transportation, preventive medicine (including animal biosecurity), and clinical care and management. The Guide addresses distress and pain recognition and relief, and issues surrounding euthanasia. Physical plant. The Guide identifies design issues, providing construction guidelines for functional areas; considerations such as drainage, vibration and noise control, and environmental monitoring; and specialized facilities for animal housing and research needs. The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals provides a framework for the judgments required in the management of animal facilities. This updated and expanded resource of proven value will be important to scientists and researchers, veterinarians, animal care personnel, facilities managers, institutional administrators, policy makers involved in research issues, and animal welfare advocates.
