The Rocky Flats Closure Legacy report is organized into the following topical
areas. The first five sections focus on the strategic issues necessary to
establish and sustain the closure project:
The remaining ten sections focus on issues associated with implementation of the
project:
The sections are designed to be independent, but also mutually reinforcing.
Each section may be read as a stand-alone report, and enough background is
provided to give the context and relevance of the section’s topic area within
the overall Rocky Flats Closure Project. In contrast, a user that reads the
entire report from cover to cover will see certain themes and fundamental
aspects of the project repeated, being reinforced and interwoven through
multiple sections. The intent of this design was to make the lessons readily
accessible to readers with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests. The
effect can be compared to viewing the same events through different colored
lenses, such that the focus of each section is highlighted against the backdrop
of the total project. The most fundamental themes and lessons, present to some
degree in almost every section, are reflected in the Executive Summary as the
“bottom line”.
The section format is designed to facilitate both general scanning for topics
of interest and detailed discussion of the section topic. Margin quotes are
provided to focus attention on key elements of the discussion. A “case study”
format, with underlined titles at the beginning of a topic covered in the next
few paragraphs also facilitates identification of topics of interest. The
“Introduction” subsection is followed by a “Discussion” subsection that
contains the details of the project approach and is sometimes further
subdivided. The section concludes with a “Key Success Factors” subsection that
summarize what Rocky Flats learned in the topic area. Citations are provided
both by section and summarized in Appendix 1.
