Welcome to the Department of Energy's Analytical
Services Program (ASP) web site.
The ASP is a corporate Departmental program, crossing
all Departmental program line organizations and assuring
DOE managers, workers and the public that the data
results acquired from analytical environmental laboratories
are valid, reliable and defensible, and that treatment
and disposal of DOE low-level radioactive and mixed
waste is accomplished in accordance with all applicable
regulations and in a manner protective of human health
and the environment.
The ASP has three component elements: the Department
of Energy's Consolidated Audit Program (DOECAP), the
Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP),
and the development of software toolkits to support
field environmental sampling and enhance environmental
decision-making, and accompanying field training of
the software packages. The ownership of the ASP resides
within the Department's Office of Health, Safety and
Security, Office of Corporate Safety Analysis, Office
of Corporate Safety Programs. This web site is designed
to share information on the purpose, process, and
results of the ASP.
Ever wonder how the DOECAP has reduced the number
of annual audits of commercial analytical environmental
laboratories, and waste treatment, storage and disposal
facilities by over half the number at a cost savings
to the taxpayer of over $1.3 million? The MAPEP has
over one hundred participating environmental laboratories,
and a dozen international laboratories involved in
quality assurance proficiency testing and evaluation
to assure the quality of analytical data reported
to the Department's field sites. Software is being
developed to better plan and design environmental
field sampling and improve upon environmental decision-making.
Training is scheduled at various Department field
sites to roll out the new software toolkits.
Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
