Nuclear Safety Oversight

The Argonne National Laboratory operates one Hazard Category 2 nuclear facility and two Hazard Category 3 nuclear facilities. The ASO Manager, a qualified Senior Technical Safety Manager (STSM) is the delegated Safety Basis Approval Authority for the Argonne Hazard Category 3 or higher nuclear facilities.

The ASO Environment, Safety & Health Division (ESHD) is staffed with personnel providing in-field oversight of the nuclear facilities on the Argonne campus, as well as leadership of the applicable Safety Basis Review Teams for Argonne.

Environment, Safety and Health Division

The Environment, Safety and Health Division (ESHD) consists of a Senior Technical Safety Manager (STSM) Director, Facility Representatives (FRs) and ESH subject matter experts. Oversight performed by ESHD provides ASO management with accurate objective information on the effectiveness of Argonne work performance and practice. The oversight program focuses resources on selected assessments, operational awareness activities, performance measure monitoring and improvement, and monitoring Argonne systems and programs. The ESHD role involves routine presence in Argonne review of Contractor Assurance Systems (CAS), and participation in operational awareness activities to ensure the application of ISM core functions to all work. ASO ESHD has subject matter experts in various major disciplines related to ESH: environment, emergency management, health physics, industrial hygiene, nuclear safety, and occupational safety.

Infrastructure, Programs and Projects Division

The ASO Infrastructure, Programs and Projects Division (IPPD) is responsible for providing federal project managers for managing facility functions outlined in DOE Order 430.1B Change 2, Real Property Asset Management. As such, IPPD is responsible for the construction of new facilities at ANL, upgrades of existing facilities, maintaining/improving the integrity of the general-purpose infrastructure (site and facilities), utilities, and real estate. Argonne facilities include 4.2M square feet of floor space in over 100 buildings, valued at ~ $2B. Project management activities include projects as large as the $800M Advanced Photon Source Project or as operating funded maintenance projects valued at several thousand dollars. Typically, about 50 small projects are under construction at any one time. In addition, IPPD executes ASO's mission responsibilities for legacy waste shipments and decontamination/ decommissioning of existing facilities. IPPD Subjects/Programs Points of Contact List
