The senior advisor at EM’s Idaho National Laboratory Site said there are people who don’t want to fill out applications or sign up for events like the panel session they participated in at the 2024 Waste Management Symposia focusing on EM's Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP) and advancing a sustainable, diverse science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) pipeline.

EM senior leaders William “Ike” White and Jeff Avery joined officials from the United Kingdom and Canada on the margins of this year’s 2024 Waste Management Symposia.

A perfect fit for this year’s Waste Management Symposia theme, “Proud of our Past, Poised for the Future,” this panel focused on the past 50 years of environmental remediation and engaged with the audience on challenges and opportunities as cleanup progress continues.

As EM continues to advance the legacy cleanup mission underway at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), a key focus is instilling a strong culture of operational excellence and effective communication, EM and contractor representatives said here last week.

EM’s liquid waste contractor at the Savannah River Site (SRS) this month marked the first direct transfer of decontaminated waste from the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) to the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF), an important new step in optimizing waste processing.

Public tours are set to resume this month for a limited time at the Hanford Site’s B Reactor National Historical Park, part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, which also includes facilities in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Future scientists, engineers and mathematicians recently put their knowledge to the test during the annual DOE Savannah River Regional Science Bowl Competition, which attracted nine teams from South Carolina and the greater Augusta, Georgia, area.

In the half century since the inception of the Waste Management Symposia, many EM sites have come full circle, cleaned and transformed into wildlife refuges, wetland preserves and national parks, U.S. Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk remarked in a prerecorded video message to the audience at the annual conference.

You may have seen the movie about Oppenheimer but how much Manhattan Project history do you really know? Are you up for a challenge to find out?
