Browse Department of Energy decisions

The published Energy Department hearing decisions. Filter by result, concern, or year. Reading a decision is free.

Two things to keep in mind about these numbers

These are hearing decisions only. The Energy Department resolves many cases without a hearing. What is here is the set that reached a hearing and produced a published decision, so it does not describe how the Energy Department decides cases overall.

A favorable decision is not the final word. In the Energy Department process a decision in the individual's favor can still be appealed by the agency, so a favorable result here is what the judge decided, not necessarily the settled outcome.

Department of Energy only

This list holds no DOHA cases, and no figure on this site adds the two records together. The words differ as well: a Department of Energy applicant receives a Notification Letter with a Summary of Security Concerns attached (not a Statement of Reasons), the government is represented by DOE Counsel (not Department Counsel), the rulebook is 10 CFR Part 710, and a review of the result is heard by the DOE Headquarters Appeal Panel. Results are favorable or not favorable to the individual, never granted or denied.
