The Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration are dedicated to preventing the illicit or unintended transfer of strategic equipment, commodities, and materials to destinations, end-users, and end-uses of concern. These strategic items may present significant risks to the national security and nuclear nonproliferation objectives of the U.S. Government. DOE/NNSA requires that these items be controlled per the federal requirements established in 41 CFR 109 DOE Property Management Regulations.

41 CFR 109-1.53 defines High Risk Property as property that, because of its potential impact on public health and safety, the environment, national security interests, or proliferation concerns, must be controlled, and disposed of in other than the routine manner. Organizations in possession of DOE property must identify High Risk Property and control its disposition to eliminate or mitigate such risks. In no case shall property be transferred or dispositioned unless it receives a High Risk assessment and is handled accordingly.

This website provides resources, training, and information designed to assist in the control, protection, utilization and disposition of High Risk Property.
