... , represents one of the most technically challenging and complex cleanup efforts in the world. Furthermore, DOE noted that the future course of the Department's environmental cleanup activities will depend on a number of fundamental technical and policy choices, many of which have not been made (DOE 2008a, p.

... In order to conduct R&D toward bridging these gaps, the sites and national laboratories will need to maintain certain critical expertise and infrastructure for: • Handling radioactive materials, • Conducting engineering and pilot-scale tests, • Determining contaminant behavior in the environment, and • Utilizing relevant state-of-the-art science to develop advanced cleanup technologies. EM's Office of Engineering and Technology should partner with other DOE offices, other federal agencies, academia, and the private sector in order to provide the needed science and technology for advanced cleanup methodologies.
