About Q clearance in brief
Q clearance or Q access authorization is the Department of Energy security clearance required to access Top Secret Restricted Data. A Q Clearance is equivalent to a United States Department of Defense Top Secret clearance. As of 1993, Q Clearances required a single-scope background investigation of the previous ten years of the applicant’s life by both the Office of Personnel Management and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The security clearance process at the DOE is adjudicated by the DOE Office of Hearings and Appeals where an individual whose security clearance is at issue may seek to appeal a security clearance decision. In the show Archer Season 6 Episode 7 \”Nellis\”, Sterling Archer uses Q clearance to gain access to Area 51 after landing illegally on the air strip.
