The Department of Energy (DOE) established the Office of Technology Development (OTD; EM-50) as an element of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management (EM) in November 1989 as shown in Figure A.1. The organizational 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 environment and to bring all DOE sites into compliance with federal, state, and local regulations by 2019. EM-50 is charged with developing new technologies that are safer, faster, more effective, and less expensive than current methods. In an effort to focus resources 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 unique to a site or common to
