The Energy Communities Alliance (ECA), in cooperation with the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG), held the first National Cleanup Workshop Sept. 29 and 30, 2015, in the Washington, D.C. area. The workshop brought together senior DOE executives, officials from DOE sites, industry executives, and other stakeholders to discuss EM’s progress in the cleanup of the environmental legacy of the nation’s Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear weapons program. The workshop focused on major cleanup successes planned for the next two years, contract and project management improvement, efforts to develop new cleanup technologies, and more.
Preparations are underway for the 2017 National Cleanup Workshop, to be held on September 13-14, 2017, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia. The conference approval package for DOE federal and contractor employees is currently being processed. DOE registration is not authorized at this time; however, upon approval of the DOE conference package, EM and ECA will use the registration process to control DOE attendance and travel costs. Employees should coordinate with their respective Conference Management point-of-contact if they have any questions.
