Extension of prioritization effort for Environmental Management
As a result of the success of the prioritization work for the United States Department of Energy, the prioritization effort has been extended to cover Deactivation and Decommissioning (EM-23).
This program focuses on providing technical assistance to the sites to identify emerging technologies, technical approaches, lessons learned from past and ongoing site closures, and best practices form the commercial nuclear sector and international nuclear community that will improve safety and to reduce risk and cost associated with deactivation and decommissioning activities.
With a large number of projects but a limited budget, the prioritization effort will determine the mix of projects that give the best value for money for the Office of Environmental Management while taking into account the views of the many different stakeholder groups.
