PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND IN THE DEACTIVATION AND DECOMMISSIONING FOCUS AREA In November 1989, DOE established its Office of Environmental Management.5 The mission of the EM program is to bring DOE sites into compliance with all applicable regulations while minimizing risks to the environment and human health and safety posed by the generation, handling, treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal of DOE waste. The undertaking was projected to cost billions of dollars each year for many decades to come and to require additional remediation technologies (DOE, 1995a)

9 age DOE sites to use innovative technologies and to develop cost comparison data, the LSDP was established in 1995. The LSDP was intended to be a cornerstone of DDFA and provide a means for side-by-side comparison of "innovative" versus baseline technologies (DOE, 1996b)

Accordingly a new program, the Technology Deployment Initiative (TDI) , was established by OST in 1997 to promote deployment of previously developed OST technologies for actual cleanup applications (DOE, 1997c)

Cost savings versus the baseline technology were expected to provide incentive for the DOE sites to adopt innovative technologies. In June 1995 the DDFA acquired the services of the U.S.

were announced in 1998 as this report was being completed: Transuranic Waste Technologies at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Dismantlement of Tritium-Contaminated Facilities at Mound, Deactivation of 321-M Fuel Fabrication Facility at the Savannah River Site, and Fuel Storage Canals at the Idaho National Environmental and Engineering Laboratory . 15Five of about 50 expected Technology Summaries were published in February 1998.

Proposals from DOE field offices were sought for multiple deployment of technologies and processes for site cleanup (including environmental restoration and waste management, as well as D&D)
