Join the team that is performing the largest, most diverse and technically complex environmental cleanup programs in the world.

Fifty years of nuclear weapons production and energy research generated millions of gallons of radioactive waste, thousands of tons of spent nuclear fuel and special nuclear material, along with huge quantities of contaminated soil and water. The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management was established to clean up the legacy waste and environmental contamination from these operations. We are doing it in a manner safe for workers, protective of the environment, and respectful to the taxpayer. The program includes responsibility for the cleanup of 108 contaminated nuclear weapons manufacturing and testing sites across the United States. Specified in that responsibility is the need to:

* Safely disposition large volumes of nuclear wastes;
* Safeguard materials that could be used in nuclear weapons; and,
* Deactivate and decommission several thousand contaminated facilitates no longer needed to support the Departments' mission and remediate extensive surface and groundwater contamination.

The projected life cycle cost of the EM portfolio is $250 billion, and a current operating budget of $7 billion per year.
