Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

Site Stewardship
Long Term Stewardship (LTS) activities at SNL continue to support remedial actions completed at
263 of 265 release sites. In FY 2012, NNSA LTS activities include program management, maintenance
of remedies at a number of environmental restoration sites at SNL/New Mexico, and groundwater
monitoring at SNL /California. Energy Modernization and Investment Program activities are aimed at
achieving Departmental energy efficiency goals. The 2012 EMIP activities support priority energy
conservation projects that will reduce energy consumption, enhance energy independence and security
and provide life-cycle cost effective benefits. Projects that provide the most significant contribution
towards achievement of NNSA’s energy goals and result in cost avoidances/savings and social benefits
will be selected from the EMIP Integrated Prioritized Project List (IPPL) for execution.
Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization Program (FIRP)
The SNL uses FIRP funding for projects that support refurbishment of building systems and utilities for
mission-critical Defense Programs facilities and infrastructure. Recapitalization projects planned for
FY 2012 include chiller replacements supporting Sandia’s scientific and classified computing resources,
exhaust fan and air handling unit replacements in facilities involved with critical R&D, production, and
machining activities, and additional road repairs. The SNL will also increase its participation in the
complex-wide Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP) by adding the SNL Albuquerque roofs to the
RAMP inventory, along with the SNL Livermore site’s roofing assets that were added in FY 2010.
Defense Nuclear Security
The Defense Nuclear Security program at SNL provides laboratory protection measures consistent with
requirements documented in its Site Security Plan (SSP). In FY 2012, SNL will continue to focus on
improving the efficiency of the security program, including modernization of the security infrastructure
and implementation of technology upgrades.
Cyber Security
The NNSA Cyber Security program implements a flexible, comprehensive, and risk-based cyber
security program that (a) protects the NNSA information and information assets as appropriate; (b) is
predicated on Executive Orders; national standards; laws and regulations; and Departmental and NNSA
orders, manuals, directives and guidance; and (c) results in a policy-driven cyber security architecture;
aligned with the NNSA Enterprise architecture; a programmatic framework and methodology that is
based on current policies and procedures; and a management approach that integrates the components of
a comprehensive cyber security program; ensures alignment of the program with NNSA and
Departmental strategic plans and relevant plans of the CIO.
The SNL will continue improving the efficiency of the security program, including modernization of the
security infrastructure and implementation of technology upgrades. The SNL will also establish a
comprehensive self-assessment program for cyber security. The SNL will lead the effort to deploy a
virtual collaboration computing incident response capability complex-wide.
Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development
The SNL Nonproliferation and Verification R&D program develops new and innovative remote sensing
technologies; radiation detection technologies, and other detection and analysis capabilities supporting
nuclear fuel cycle monitoring missions; nuclear forensics missions; develops, demonstrates, and
validates improvements to data processing and analysis tools in support of ground-based nuclear
