The recommendation is a response to the National Academies of Sciences’ (NAS) report, “Independent Assessment of Science and Technology for the Department of Energy's Defense Environmental Cleanup Program” (2019) which assesses the success of the EM Science and Technology (S&T) program; a program that defines needs for near-term and out-year cleanup of radioactive material. As Advisory Boards to DOE-EM, the EM SSAB Chairs collectively seek a continued EM focus on permanent reduction of risk to future human generations and the environment.
