Page 5555 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 2286h–1 ‘‘(c) REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.—(1) Before submission of the first annual report by the De- fense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board under section 316(a) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 [subsec. (a) of this section] (as added by subsection (a)), the Board shall conduct a study on whether nuclear facilities of the Department of Energy that are excluded from the definition of ‘Department of Energy defense nuclear fa- cility’ in section 318(1)(C) of such Act [section 2286g(1)(C) of this title] (hereafter in this subsection re- ferred to as ‘non-defense nuclear facilities’) should be subject to independent external oversight. The Board shall include in such first annual report the results of such study and the recommendation of the Board on whether non-defense nuclear facilities should be sub- ject to independent external oversight. ‘‘(2) If the Board recommends in the report that non- defense nuclear facilities should be subject to such oversight, the report shall include a discussion of alter- native mechanisms for implementing such oversight, including mechanisms such as a separate executive agency and oversight as a part of the Board’s respon- sibilities. The discussion of alternative mechanisms of oversight also shall include considerations of budg- etary costs, protection of the security of sensitive nu- clear weapons information, and the similarities and dif- ferences in the design, construction, operation, and de- commissioning of defense and non-defense nuclear fa- cilities of the Department of Energy. ‘‘(d) REQUIREMENTS FOR FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.—The fifth annual report submitted by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board under section 316(a) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954
