OREM is working on a growing number of exciting projects across the Oak Ridge Reservation. In 2016, the cleanup program reached new heights by completing projects no one else in the world has ever achieved, and it has initiated a new phase of cleanup that enhances safety and lays the groundwork for modernization at the Y-12 National Security Complex and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
EM sites reduced operating costs by more than $100 million in fiscal year (FY) 2016, responding to a challenge from EM leadership to free more funding for cleanup.
Community leaders and area economic development officials joined OREM and the Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee on Dec. 8 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of an innovative program designed to attract new industries and jobs to a former uranium enrichment complex.
OREM’s Transuranic Waste Processing Center recorded an outstanding year by exceeding all of its goals as workers continued to process and prepare Oak Ridge’s inventory of transuranic waste for offsite disposal.
Nine new faces will join the proceedings when an Oak Ridge citizen’s advisory board convenes this fall to provide input to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on its cleanup mission across the Oak Ridge Reservation.
