- Abstract
- This edition of the Annual Summary of DOE Fire Protection Programs continues the series started in 1972. Since May 1950, an annual report has been required from each field organization. The content has varied through the years and most of the accident data reporting requirements have been superseded by the Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting System administered by EG&G, Idaho. However, this report is the sole source of the information relating to fire protection systems, and to the actions of the operations office and to headquarters that are of general fire protection interest. The fire protection program is the only safety program that compiles and publishes such data. As such, it is a principal medium of communication between headquarters and the operations offices. This report differs from prior reports in that for most sections this Annual Summary covers two calendar years. This change was necessitated due to personnel staffing vacancies at headquarters. With the recent addition of personnel, future Annual Summaries should return to a single year format. Operations offices and contractor organizations are encouraged to use this as a source manual. The data relating to DOE-wide activities will serve as a basis of comparison for the same subjects within the more limited range of their own organization. Similarly, those organizations contemplating fire protection projects should review the information on accomplished CY 1988-1989 projects, and planned CY 1990 projects, and contact the personnel most intimately involved. Their experiences can serve to facilitate improved design and planning throughout the DOE organization.
