Summary:

In order to better manage the billions of dollars it is spending to clean up the nation's nuclear weapons complex, the Energy Department (DOE) has begun several productivity improvements. One such improvement involved the hiring of up to 1,600 new employees, who are expected to save millions of dollars by replacing contractor staff and improving the productivity of the environmental cleanup. This report reviews DOE's process for hiring the new employees. GAO (1) identifies the process DOE used to justify the new hires, (2) determines whether DOE's justifications support the claimed cost savings and productivity improvements, and (3) discuses how DOE plans to ensure that the expected cost savings and productivity improvements will be achieved.
