June 29 Briefs Excerpts: 

DOE Best Practices Document Posted 
According to U.S. Secretary of Energy, Ernest Moniz, the Department of Energy is in the business of solving complex problems each and every day. While solutions to scientific challenges may be diverse, many of the challenges faced in the operation of the DOE share common attributes despite varied missions, organizations and geography. The DOE Best Practices documents are being shared across the DOE complex, so that the department and its operating entities may capitalize on the many creative and successful practices that have been developed. You can access the current reference documents compiled by DOE’s Office of Enterprise Assessments on the energy.gov website: https://powerpedia.energy.gov/wiki/Strategic_Best_Practices 

Jefferson Lab Lessons Learned from the Feb. 24 Tornado Weather Event 
Midway through the afternoon on Feb. 24, 2016, parts of eastern Virginia and northern North Carolina were struck by tornadoes that developed when a line of strong thunderstorms moved across the region. The severe weather event provided an opportunity for Jefferson Lab’s Emergency Manager, Tina Menefee, to evaluate the lab’s response to the Tornado Watch and the subsequent Tornado Warning, identify problem areas and initiate corrective actions. There are several good tips that the Jefferson Lab community can take away from the event. See the full list of lessons learned in the all-staff memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/jlab-lessons-learned-feb-24-tornado-weather-eventme%20generator 

Personal Dosimeter Change Out Set for Friday, July 1 
Jefferson Lab's semi-annual personal dosimeter change out will take place during the morning of Friday, July 1. This includes the dosimeters of all staff, students, users and subcontractors. Be sure to put your dosimeter in its assigned place in the dosimeter racks no later than 10 a.m. on July 1. If you need to use your dosimeter during the change out period on July 1, you may exchange it that morning in the Radiation Control Dosimetry Office located in the ARC Library before 10 a.m. If you are leaving for an extended Independence Day holiday break, be sure to put your dosimeter in its assigned rack before departing. If you have any questions about he change out, contact Becky Mosbrucker, 269-7236. 

Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 1 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 1. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. Individuals planning to be in the Central Materials Storage Area (where the siren is located) while the test is taking place must have with them and wear two layers of hearing protection.
