A National Cleanup Workshop panel comprised of federal and contractor leaders and community stakeholders from across the DOE complex shared insights into succession planning to help develop EM’s future workforce.

As EM looks ahead to advance its cleanup mission, leaders from various program offices shared their perspectives on past achievements, current progress and future challenges during a panel session at the National Cleanup Workshop.

U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) crews at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) met an EM 2022 priority by launching demolition of the Main Plant Process Building (MPPB) last week.

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 crews are taking the first steps to bring the massive Alpha-4 facility at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) to the cold-and-dark stage, a process in which they remove all utility sources to the building as a precursor to demolition.

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.

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.
