Nuclear Sites
The Department of Energy List


On January 10, 2000, the Department of Energy released to the public the following long list of sites that were related to the production of nuclear weapons or reactors. The release of this list satisfied the requirements of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act of 2000. The list covers three types of facilities:

  • Privately-owned facilities and plants where atomic weapons employees processed, produced, or handled materials for nuclear weapons (coded as "AWE").

  • Department of Energy facilities, including those operated by private contractors (coded as "DOE").

  • Privately-owned companies that processed, produced, or handled beryllium for the Department of Energy or its predecessors (coded as "BE").
