Appendix B ·eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Analysis of the EMSP Research Portfolio The committee generated Table B.1 during its analysis of the cur- rent EMSP research portfolio, based on the information available on the project database up to September 2000. Table B.1 does not take into account any renewal or new project introduced after that period. Only research projects directly relevant to HEW process operations are listed. The result of the analysis is shown in Appendix A, page 97. The project database is available on the World Wide Web at the fol- lowing address: http://emsp.em.doe.gov/portfol io/mu Itisearch.asp In the table, the title of the project is provided, with the EMSP pro- ject number shown in parenthesis. The letters in parenthesis attached to the project numbers correspond to the problem area under which the project is listed in the EMSP database. The symbols are the follow- ing: H LW: H igh-Level Waste MW: Mixed and Transuranic Waste D&D: Deactivation and Decommissioning NM: Nuclear Materials SC: Subsurface Contamination SNF: Spent Nuclear Fuel (defense-related) As shown, many of the projects are relevant to more than one process area and have been listed more than once in the table. Therefore, the total number of projects in the table is higher than the total number of grants. The purpose of this table is to show what areas of HEW cleanup are emphasized in the EMSP research portfolio. H ~ G H - L E V E E W A S T E 108
