The Department of Energy's Emergency Communication Network (ECN) is a high-speed, global, emergency communications network that supports the exchange of classified and unclassified voice, data, and video information for managing national emergencies, as well as emergencies involving the Department's facilities and operations. The ECN currently connects the Departments Headquarters to 28 sites, including other Federal agencies and the Russian Federation's Ministry of Atomic Energy in Moscow.

In 1992, Congress passed Title X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Title X) which established the authority and framework for providing Federal assistance for the remediation of contamination at active uranium and thorium sites. Congress authorized the reimbursement of cleanup costs, on a cost-sharing basis, and has established a reimbursement limit of $365 million (plus inflation). Title X required the Department to administer all claims related to active uranium and thorium licensees. Federal regulation also provided the Department with claim approval authority and authorized it to obtain assurance as to the appropriateness for costs claimed by auditing documentation used to support claims for reimbursement.
