United STTS DPT of Energy Oakrdge

The Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management, part of the United States Department of Energy, 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 back to the community to stimulate new economic growth.

With a commitment to deactivation and decommissioning, the office oversees the stabilization and demolition of over 300 excess contaminated facilities, including the largest inventory of high-risk structures within the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Y12 National Security Complex. Their ongoing projects aim to eliminate hazards and lay the groundwork for significant transformations at these critical sites.
