DOE study finds that hundreds of U.S. coal power plant sites could be converted to nuclear power plants.

The fossil energy industry creates huge quantities of highly contaminated water as a byproduct. Learn why lowering the cost of treating this wastewater is both a practical necessity and a potential source of many benefits for the American public.

A real-time streamflow gaging station resulting from a collaboration involving the EM Los Alamos Field Office (EM-LA) was recently installed to enable Buckman Direct Diversion (BDD) staff to decide whether to cease diverting water from the Rio Grande.

Nicole Nelson-Jean, EM associate principal deputy assistant secretary for field operations, toured cleanup operations at the Portsmouth and Paducah sites and visited the Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO).

As the Hanford Site gears up to treat tank waste for disposal through the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) Program, workers are upgrading many site facilities to support 24/7 operations. One of those facilities is the 242-A Evaporator.

Marine energy is harnessed from the natural movement of water, including waves, tides, and river and ocean currents. But how much power could it generate? Learn eight things to know about this abundant renewable energy resource.

EM is entering the next phase of cleanup at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) after achieving a pivotal milestone: completion of demolition of the final 18 DOE-owned buildings on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site.

EM has developed a series of innovative initiatives to support improved groundwater monitoring and remediation across the DOE complex, including a new publicly available web-based application.

The EM Nevada Program recently completed a unique survey involving electrical energy from a controlled source and audio frequency signals to explore the geology that controls groundwater flow patterns.

Crews at the Hanford Site’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant recently finished testing “bubblers,” special equipment critical to transforming radiological and chemical tank waste into a glass form for safe disposal.
