Complex has been reassigned after a federal inspector allegedly found 
papers in a patrol vehicle that included answers to a test scheduled to 
be given to guards as part of an investigation following an 
unprecedented July 28 security breach.

A U.S. Department of Energy official said the stack of papers found last 
week also included a copy of a test designed to quiz a random sample of 
a few dozen guards on policies and procedures, as well as a “post check” 
interview sheet. The “post checks” question security officers on 
procedures and performance tests, such as deploying gas masks. The 
papers were not supposed to be shared, said the DOE official, speaking 
on background.

“That’s clearly something that we’ve never seen before,” said Bill 
Eckroade, principal deputy chief for mission support operations in DOE’s 
Office of Health, Safety and Security, or HSS.  “It gave us great 
concern.

“They were in a place that was unexpected and undesirable. They may have 
been used inappropriately.”
