DOE’s Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) logged another successful year, achieving all of its EM priorities for 2023 and advancing cleanup across the site.

The EM Los Alamos Field Office (EM-LA) and its legacy cleanup contractor at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are making steady progress in a key program central to the legacy cleanup mission.

EM recently awarded performance-based fees payments to 14 of its contractors at sites across the DOE complex, including Hanford, Savannah River, Oak Ridge, Paducah, Portsmouth, Nevada, Idaho, Los Alamos, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and Savannah River National Laboratory.

The tools at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory provide deep insights into tiny organisms and their surrounding environments.

As part of the effort to detect nuclear explosive tests around the world – a vital NNSA mission – scientists gathered in Santiago, Chile, this month to discuss radioactive emissions from peaceful sources, such as during the production of medical isotopes.

Developing and maintaining a trained workforce is essential to continue advancing cleanup progress happening across DOE’s Oak Ridge Reservation.
