We’ll be discussing a recommendation from the Government Accountability Office about involving the public in tank closure decisions at 1:30pm pst. Full language below.

GAO recommendation #3: The Secretary of Energy should direct the Assistant Secretary of the Office of Environmental Management to assess DOE's efforts to involve stakeholders in the Hanford tank closure process to ensure that DOE engages them in the decision-making process, communicates with them throughout the process in a way that addresses their concerns regarding technical challenges, and provides them with transparent information about the science and rationale behind decisions.
