Two years after DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided a model of nearly every building in America, commercial partners are using the tool to design energy-efficient buildings and cities and link energy efficiency to real estate value and risk.

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) today released its EM Program Plan, a 2022 priority outlining a decision roadmap the cleanup program will use as a guide over the next two decades.

EM is slated to decommission a building at the Savannah River Site (SRS) containing residual plutonium once used to power deep space missions after workers finished deactivating the facility.

To mark Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Week, we spoke with three students in the Summer 2022 class of the Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) program. See what these students love about their HBCUs and their MLEF experiences.

For the first time in Oak Ridge history, EM crews have begun demolishing a former reactor facility, reaching another important milestone for cleanup at the site.

Following a record-breaking simulant run at EM’s Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) earlier this summer, engineers are inspecting reaction vessels and other equipment of the liquid waste treatment facility before initiating radiological operations.
