WASHINGTON, D.C. – DOE, in cooperation with the Energy Communities Alliance and Energy Facility Contractors Group, is set to hold the second DOE National Cleanup Workshop on Sept. 14-15, 2016, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Va.
The workshop will bring together senior DOE executives, DOE site officials, industry executives, and other stakeholders to discuss EM’s progress on the cleanup of the environmental legacy of the nation’s Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear weapons program.
More than 350 attendees, including senior Department officials, Congressional leaders, DOE contractors, and state, Tribal and local government leaders, participated in the inaugural 2015 workshop — the largest EM-focused gathering in the D.C. area last year.
More information on the DOE National Cleanup Workshop can be found here.
As the largest environmental cleanup program in the world, EM is charged with the responsibility of cleaning 107 sites across the country, totaling a combined area equal to that of Rhode Island and Delaware.
