Engineering & Technology
EM E&T workers
Engineering & Technology subject matter experts help DOE achieve success in its mission and provides best-in-class engineering foundation, technical assistance, and new technologies to:

Resolve program uncertainties and risks in cleanup engineering and technology decisions,
Reduce costs and schedules for completion of the DOE mission to clean up the legacy waste, and
Eliminate environmental contamination brought about from five decades of nuclear weapons development and government-sponsored nuclear energy research.

Tank Waste and Waste Processing
The Department has approximately 91 million gallons of liquid waste stored in underground tanks and approximately 4,000 cubic meters of solid waste derived from the liquids stored in bins.

Groundwater and Soil Cleanup
The Department of Energy (DOE) has one of the largest groundwater and soil contamination problems and subsequent cleanup responsibilities for a single entity in the world. The DOE Environmental Management (EM) Office of Groundwater and Soil Cleanup is tasked with the characterization and cleanup of contaminated groundwater and soil.

Decontamination & Decommissioning/ Facilities Engineering
As the DOE complex sites prepare for closure, a large number of buildings and facilities must be deactivated and decommissioned.

These facilities contain many complex systems (e.g. ventilation), miles of contaminated pipelines, glove boxes, and unique processing equipment that require labor intensive deactivation and decommissioning methods. Although many technologies currently exist to address various aspects of decontamination, technology development and/or adaptation are needed to address unique contaminated buildings and facilities, as well as, to increase efficiency and worker safety.
