Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) is an independent U.S. government agency established to ensure the safety and health of workers and the public around nuclear facilities owned by the Department of Energy. It monitors these facilities, assesses their safety practices, and makes recommendations to improve their operations. The board conducts inspections and reviews safety policies to prevent accidents and radiological hazards. By providing oversight and guidance, the DNFSB plays a crucial role in promoting safe nuclear operations while protecting both the environment and public health.
