Abstract:The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) manages a multi-billion-dollar environmental management (EM) program. In June 1996, the Assistant Secretary of Energy for EM, A1 Alm, issued a memorandum with guidance and a vision for a ten-year planning process for the EM Program.' The purpose of this process, which became known as the Accelerated Cleanup: Focus on 2006 (hereafter referred to as the 2006 Plan), is to make step changes within the DOE complex regarding the approach for making meaningful environmental cleanup progress. To augment the process, Assistant Secretary Alm requested the site contractors to engage in an effort to identify and evaluate integration alternatives for EM waste stream treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) that would parallel the 2006 Plan. In October 1996, ten DOE contractor installations began the task of identifying alternative opportunities for low-level radioactive waste (LLW).
