DOA Oak Ridge Operations

The Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) is dedicated to the safe cleanup of environmental legacies resulting from decades of nuclear weapons development and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. Their mission focuses on protecting regional health and the environment by removing risks and enabling modernization at national security and science sites.

OREM oversees a range of projects aimed at deactivating and decommissioning contaminated facilities, including the largest inventory of high-risk structures within the Department of Energy. Their efforts not only facilitate the demolition of hazardous sites but also support economic growth by transferring cleaned land back to the community.
