Abstract	This report provides an assessment of safety issues at the Department of Energy (DOE) test and research reactors. Part A identifies six safety issues of the reactors. These issues include the safety design philosophy, the conduct of safety reviews, the performance of probabilistic risk assessments, the reliance on reactor operators, the fragmented character of the DOE management structure, and the safety implications of the current budgetary climate. Part B provides an assessment of technical issues to each of five reactors, such as: (1) Advanced Test Reactor (ATR); (2) Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBRII); (3) Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF); (4) High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR); and (5) High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). Each section includes the recent operating history and conclusions and recommendations on the technical issues. Over 400 documents are listed in the bibliography grouped by kind of reactor. Appendices include a "Statement of Task" by DOE and National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council and "Biographical Sketches of the Members." (YP)
