Very good. xii, 72 pages. Illustrations. References. Appendices (includes Biographical Sketches of Committee Members and Acronyms. To manage the massive cleanup of sites involved in the production of nuclear weapons materials throughout the Manhattan Project and the Cold War, the Department of Energy (DOE) established in 1989 its Office of Environmental Remediation and Waste Management, renamed the Office of Environmental Management (EM) in 1994. Because of the complexity of cleaning up this legacy of waste and contamination, limited experience, and changing requirements, identifying actual costs and time required to complete the cleanup was a challenge from the beginning. In June 1998, EM issued its first comprehensive plan Paths to Closure (DOE, 1998a) for accelerating the cleanup and reducing costs. Currently, according to EM's plan for accelerated cleanup, the total life cycle cost is estimated to be about $142 billion, with completion in 2035. EM is considering how the schedule and costs might be reduced further, without compromising its commitments to health and safety. EM commissioned this study by the National Academies' Board on Radioactive Waste Management (BRWM) to provide technical advice for EM's accelerated cleanup program, specifically by identifying opportunities for EM to improve its capabilities for characterizing and treating the legacy wastes and contamination that are within the scope of the accelerated cleanup program. While acknowledging that site cleanup is a multifaceted challenge, including establishing cleanup goals, legal and regulatory compliance, and public confidence, the committee confined its study to the technical issues set forth in its Study Prospectus and Statement of Task. EM's technical capability to manage its wastes and environmental contamination is essential for accomplishing the cleanup regardless of how non-technical issues surrounding site cleanup may change over the time.
