- Review the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management’s (DOE-EM’S) current technology development efforts, including processes for identifying and selecting technologies for development and
- Review and assess technologies and/or alternative approaches for the DOE-EM cleanup program that could reduce long-term costs, accelerate cleanup schedules, mitigate uncertainties, vulnerabilities, or risks; or otherwise significantly improve the cleanup program.
The Academies appointed an expert committee to carry out this examination and prepare a technical report with findings and recommendations.
