About us
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management's (EM) mission is to address the nation’s Cold War environmental legacy resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. This legacy includes some of the world’s most dangerous radioactive sites with large amounts of radioactive wastes, spent nuclear fuel, excess plutonium and uranium, thousands of contaminated facilities, and contaminated soil and groundwater. Created in 1989, EM has the responsibility for completing the cleanup of this Cold War legacy and managing the remaining nuclear materials.As the largest environmental cleanup program in the world, EM has been charged with the responsibility of cleaning up 107 sites across the country whose area is equal to the combined area of Rhode Island and Delaware. EM has made substantial progress in nearly every area of nuclear waste cleanup and has completed cleanup at 92 of these sites.

In remarks made today at the #NationalCleanupWorkshop, Secretary Jennifer Granholm pointed to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s sacred obligations at each cleanup site—to ensure the surrounding air, water, and lands are safe, and to invite tribal nations, pueblos, and communities to the table to decide their own futures. Senior Advisor Candice Robertson emphasized that EM's achievements all come down to effective partnerships—from the EM federal and contractor workforce to congressional cleanup champions, tribal nations, and pueblos to states and regulators, intergovernmental groups, and local communities near EM sites.Read the full article at https://bit.ly/3XoEGqG!

It’s #StandUpToCancerDay and the U.S. Department of Energy - Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management’s cleanup effort is greatly contributing to the medical world through its inventory of uranium-233. A partnership agreement focuses on extracting thorium-229 (Th-229) from uranium-233 (U-233) for cancer treatments. OREM and contractor Isotek are leading an effort to eliminate the nation’s inventory of U-233 from storage at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.Isotek extracts the Th-229 before it’s shipped to TerraPower. Then, TerraPower uses that material to recover actinium-225 (Ac-225), a medical isotope behind a promising form of next generation cancer treatment called targeted alpha therapy. Ac-225 samples were sent to two pharmaceutical companies this year so they can start drug trials involving targeted alpha therapy in multiple disease areas.This incredible effort within EM’s cleanup mission is making a positive impact on helping save people’s lives. #KissCancerGoodbyeFind more information at https://bit.ly/4bGc8iE!
