The Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) and contractor UCOR have initiated the second phase of construction for the Environmental Management Disposal Facility (EMDF).

EM’s cleanup contractor at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site has partnered with an Idaho Falls-based small business through DOE’s Mentor-Protégé Program.

On March 12, 2024, EM released its Strategic Vision 2024-2034, a blueprint to the program’s anticipated cleanup achievements over the next decade.

DOE issued a request for qualification related to the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative to identify and evaluate qualified clean energy developers interested in leasing DOE-owned land for solar-powered commercial clean energy projects within the 310-square-mile Savannah River Site (SRS) located in Aiken, South Carolina.

DOE EM awarded $27.3 million to research and development to accelerate the Hanford's tank waste cleanup mission to fund 13 projects led by six national laboratories.

EM construction crews at the Hanford Site are laying it on the line — literally — to expand the treatment capacity of the site’s already robust groundwater cleanup program.

Each March, EM takes an opportunity to celebrate and highlight the extraordinary achievements and contributions of women across the DOE complex.

EM crews recently completed a virtual inspection of an underground tank that once stored liquid waste from spent fuel reprocessing operations at the West Valley Demonstration Project in the 1960s and ‘70s.

Rachelle Hubler has made a career supporting EM’s cleanup contractors at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site’s Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP), where she has been a driving force behind the facility’s success for 22 years.
