Program description: The Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) is a government-owned and government-operated (GOGO) laboratory operated by the Department of Energy (DOE). It is located at the Central Facilities Area of the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The laboratory and its predecessor organizations have been part of the DOE Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) since 1949. The main RESL facility (CFA-690) was built in 1963. RESL is a critical resource for the DOE, the Office of Environmental Management (EM) and the Office of Environmental Safety & Health (EH). It provides DOE a reference laboratory to conduct key measurement quality assurance programs and provides technical support and quality assurance metrology that is directly traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Its key mission capabilities are in analytical chemistry and in radiation measurements and calibrations.
RESL’s mission is to provide cost-effective measurement quality assurance, free of conflicts of interest, for federal oversight of analytical and radiation protection programs. RESL’s vision is to be recognized for:
· Scientific and technical excellence as a DOE Reference Laboratory
· Broad scope of technical capabilities in radiation measurements and analytical chemistry
· Innovation in applying state-of-the-art technologies.
RESL’s goals are to:
· Provide state-of-the-art technical capabilities for its customers
· Exceed customer expectations
· Demonstrate technical and operational excellence
· Strengthen management systems (Quality Assurance [QA], Integrated Safety Management System [ISMS], information & records management)
· Increase the amount and quality of professional involvement.
