Abstract
The Department of Energy (DOE or Department) today is publishing a final rule on Personnel Assurance Program (PAP) procedures and standards for DOE and DOE contractor employees who are assigned nuclear explosive duties at DOE facilities. The PAP is a systematic program, previously established by internal DOE directive, to prevent accidental or unauthorized detonation of nuclear explosives as a result of assignment of nuclear explosives duties to employees who have become emotionally, mentally, or physically incapacitated. The rule includes medical standards for evaluating DOE and contractor employees in the PAP.
