Major EM AccomplishmentsSite Completions• 86 out of 108 sitesLiquid Tank Waste• Long-lead procurement and construction underway on Waste Treatment Plant,

Sodium Bearing Waste Treatment Facility, and Salt Waste Processing Facility• All empty unused tanks grouted at Idaho National Laboratory• Over 2500 cans of vitrified high-level waste produced for disposalOther Waste• TRU / WIPP – Disposed of over 50,000 cubic meters of contact-handled

TRU waste – Initiated disposal of remote-handled TRU waste

• Low-Level and Mixed Low-Level – Approaching 1 million cubic meters disposed



Uranium/Plutonium• Initiated consolidation of weapons-usable surplus Pu from Hanford, Los

Alamos, and Livermore to Savannah River• DUF 6 Conversion Facilities at 70% completion

– all DUF6 cylinders now on-site• Long-lead procurement and construction underway on Building 3019 U-

233 Conversion ProjectOther Remediation• Decontaminated and decommissioned over 1700 nuclear, radioactive and

industrial facilities• Stabilized more than 100 contaminated groundwater plumes, and

remediated over 6,500 release sites

Major EM Accomplishments (cont’d)



EM Risk-Based PrioritiesHighest Risk-Based Priorities• Minimum safety and essential services across EM cleanup sites• Radioactive tank waste waste storage, treatment, and disposal (including

technology development and deployment activities in support of high-level waste)• Spent nuclear fuel storage, receipts and disposition• Special nuclear material storage, processing, and disposition• High priority groundwater remediation (selected Hanford, Paducah and Los

Alamos plumes)• Solid waste (transuranic and mixed/low-level waste) treatment, storage, and

disposalLower Risk-Based Priorities• Soil and groundwater remediation• Nuclear facility D&D• Non-nuclear facility D&D
