OAK RIDGE, Tenn. – Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Under Secretary for Science Paul Dabbar visited Oak Ridge last week, where they learned about a partnership between EM and DOE’s Office of Science to identify effective and affordable solutions for mercury cleanup that can be used at the site and elsewhere in the U.S. During their time at the site, Perry and Dabbar toured the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Aquatic Ecology Laboratory, where EM is funding research to advance technology development for future cleanup projects.
