Video A.1 (:17)
The Department of Energy (DOE) established the Office of Tech-
nology Development (OTD; EM-50) as an element of Environmental Restoration and Waste Manage-
ment (EM) in November 1989 as shown in Figure A.1. The organ-
izational structure of EM-50 is shown in Figure A.2.
EM
manages remediation of all DOE sites as well as wastes from current operations.
The goal of the EM program is to minimize risks
to human health and the environ-
ment and to bring all DOE sites into compliance with federal, state, and local
regulations by 2019. EM-50 is charged with de-
veloping new technologies that are safer, faster, more effective, and less expensive
than current methods. In an effort to focus re-
sources and address opportunities, EM-50 has developed Integrated Programs (IPs)
and Integrated Demonstrations (IDs).
An Integrated Program focuses on technologies to solve a specific aspect of a waste management (Video A.1) or environmental problem, and it can be either
