Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB)

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) is an independent government organization that oversees the safety of U.S. nuclear weapons facilities. Its role is to review, analyze, and make recommendations to ensure these sites operate safely, preventing accidents and protecting workers, the public, and the environment. The DNFSB does not have regulatory authority but provides expert advice to the Department of Energy and other agencies, helping them maintain high safety standards in handling and storing nuclear materials.
