BILLING CODE 3810-FF-P DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD Sunshine Act Meeting Pursuant to the provisions of the “Government in the Sunshine Act” (5 U.S.C. 552b), notice is hereby given of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's (Board) meeting described below. The Board will also conduct a public hearing pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2286b and invites any interested persons or groups to present any comments, technical information, or data concerning safety issues related to defense nuclear activities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). *Time and Date of Meeting:* 9-12 a.m., September 26, 2002. *Place:* Shrine Event Center, 170 Lindbergh Avenue, Livermore, CA 94551. *Status:* Open.
While the Government in the Sunshine Act does not require that the scheduled discussion be conducted in a meeting, the Board has determined that an open meeting in this specific case furthers the public interests underlying both the Sunshine Act and the Board's enabling legislation. *Matters To Be Considered:* The Board's meeting will examine the status of defense nuclear activities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The meeting will first focus on LLNL's implementation of DNFSB Recommendation 2000-2, *Configuration Management, Vital Safety Systems.* Next, the meeting will review LLNL's implementation of DNFSB Recommendation 94-1, *Improved Schedule for Remediation in the Defense Nuclear Facilities Complex,* and DNFSB Recommendation 2000-1, *Prioritization for Stabilizing Nuclear Materials.* Disposition of inactive nuclear material will be included in this discussion.
Additionally, the meeting will examine Laboratory support for nuclear explosive operations at the Pantex Plant. The Board's meeting will provide an opportunity for members of the public, DOE, and its contractor employees or their representatives to comment on or provide information directly to the Board regarding matters affecting health and safety at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, including, but not limited to, those subject areas and facilities the Board will review during this visit.
