Over the past year, the Hanford Site’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant team has implemented innovative safety programs that have helped reduce injury rates to 75% below the industry average.

Meet James Peltz, federal program manager for Integrated Codes in NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing program. Hailing from Nevada, James is an avid outdoorsman and can regularly be found fishing, skiing, or tending to his yard.

In a recent visit to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk and DOE Office of Environmental Management Senior Advisor Candice Robertson took a tour that went 2,000 feet into Earth where transuranic waste is being emplaced in mined salt beds.

Crews are reducing risk at the Reduction Oxidation Plant, one of five former plutonium production facilities at the Hanford Site.

A new U.S. Department of Energy report finds more than 60 gigawatts (GW) of new nuclear capacity could potentially be built at operating or recently retired nuclear power plant sites across the country.

Emerging bioenergy technologies are transforming the foundation of our lives, everything from clothing to plastics to fuels. Through biotechnology and biomanufacturing, biomass across the United States can be converted into new materials and provide an alternative to petroleum-based production for fuels and products. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) is doing its part to strengthen America’s bioeconomy and supply chain to support energy innovation.

Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern or SWPA) recently had the opportunity to help bring to completion a new infrastructure improvement project along the Arkansas River in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

For nearly 20 years, cleanup crews at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site have benefited from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Contractor Assurance System (CAS).

After almost a year of collaboration, U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management crews at Savannah River Site recently completed sampling of heavy water moderator tanks, which will help determine the eventual disposition of the tritiated moderator.

Stakeholders, such as farmers, industry, and local, regional, and national planners, have a powerful, free, and easy-to-access data portal at their command to unlock the power of bioenergy: the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework, or BioenergyKDF. The portal, stewarded by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office, is the nation’s premier source of information on biomass potential, providing high-quality data that can guide funding in support of a robust bioeconomy with low-carbon energy sources.
