About Us
As a result of our nation’s development of its nuclear arsenal during the cold war,
weapons production and/or weapons plants around the country created a need for the
government to decontaminate these sites by cleaning up the residual from the nuclear
waste. In response to this need, in 1989 at the Department of Energy, the Office
of Environmental Management (EM) was created to assess and cleanup inactive waste
sites and facilities around the country. Our assessment and cleanup efforts include
ensuring the development and implementation of safe and effective waste management
operations, developing and implementing aggressive applied waste management operations
and applied waste research, and developing programs that utilize innovative and
cost effective environmental technologies to address permanent disposal of high
and low level nuclear waste.
Our Mission
To complete the cleanup of the contaminated nuclear weapons manufacturing and testing
sites across the United States.
Our Vision
Safely and cost effectively cleanup the legacy of the nation’s nuclear weapons program
using a highly qualified, motivated, and career oriented workforce that manages
at least 90 percent of its projects on cost and on schedule.
