DOE OIG Reports: Grenade Launcher Qualification Requirements, Cyber Security Risk Management Practice

by on
  • Inspection Report – 40 MM Grenade Launcher Qualification Requirements at Department of Energy Sites, November 2008: “The Department of Energy and its National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), operate some of the most sensitive Federal facilities in the United States. Because of the mission requirements, safeguards and security is a top priority at these sites. As part of its security regime, the Department maintains a cadre of armed protective force officers to prevent and defend against malevolent acts. In recent years, the Department has worked to enhance security by increasing the capabilities of weapon systems used by the protective force officers. One such weapon is the 40 mm grenade launcher, which utilizes high explosive ammunition to defeat adversary personnel and equipment. A number of Department sites have procured these
    weapons.”

  • Audit Report – Cyber Security Risk Management Practice at the Southeastern, Southwestern, and Western Area Power Adminstrations, November 2008: “The Southeastern, Southwestern, and Western Area Power Administrations provide electrical power to customers in 29 states. To support this critical function, the Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs) utilize infornlation systems to conduct various activities, including financial management, marketing, and transferring wholesale electrical power across the Nation’s electrical grids. In particular, Southwestern and Western operate supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems – systems
    critical to controlling the flow of electricity to the power grid. The power grids are part of the U.S. critical infrastructure. Interruptions in these control systems for an extended period could adversely impact the PMAs’ customers.”
