The Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management 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, enabling modernization at national security and science sites, and transferring cleaned land to the community to foster new economic growth.
With a commitment to deactivation and decommissioning, the office oversees the stabilization and preparation of over 300 excess contaminated facilities, including the largest inventory of high-risk structures managed by the Department of Energy. Their ongoing projects aim to eliminate hazards and facilitate major transformations at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Y12 National Security Complex.
