  3. EM Funding History $ in billions

  4. Major EM Accomplishments Site Completions • 86 out of 108 sites Liquid 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 disposal Other 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

  5. Major EM Accomplishments (cont’d) 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 Project Other 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

  6. EM Risk-Based Priorities Highest 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 disposal Lower Risk-Based Priorities • Soil and groundwater remediation • Nuclear facility D&D • Non-nuclear facility D&D

  7. Near-Term Scheduled Site Closures • Inhalation Toxicology Laboratory NM • Pantex Plant TX • Lawrence Livermore National CA • Laboratory-Site 300 • Miamisburg Environmental OH • Management Project • Sandia National Laboratories NM • Argonne National Laboratory-East IL • Stanford Linear Accelerator CA 2008 LLNL (Site 300) ANL-E Stanford Inhalation Lab 2009 Miamisburg SNL 2010 Pantex

  8. FY 2008 Budget Composition Other is comprised of: Program Direction, Technology Development, Contribution to the D&D Fund, Uranium/Thorium Reimbursements, Headquarters, and Community and Regulatory Support

  9. FY 2008 Budget Status

  10. EM Out-Year Budget Targets

  11. Management Initiatives • Maintain and demand highest safety performance • Assure effective identification and management of risks • Performance • Dealing with increased scope and requirements • Independent reviews – technical, cost, and schedule • Validate project costs, schedules, and assumptions • Improve senior management focus on project execution • Provide additional training for Federal managers and staff to enhance project management, and acquisition skills • Implement more effective acquisition process • Contract type • Fee structure • Ensure real-time feedback and application of lessons learned • Ensure proper organizational alignment of functions, authorities, and people

  12. Washington SouthCarolina EM Program FY 2008 Budget EM Budget $5.7 Billion New York Idaho Nevada Ohio Kentucky Tennessee New Mexico Legend: Over $1 billion $300 million to $1 billion $50 million to $300 million

  13. Corporate Performance Measures

  14. Summary • Budget based on prioritized risk reduction • Ensure all EM activities are conducted safely, and in accordance with environmental laws and regulations • Strive for operational excellence through technology, process improvement, innovation, effective project management, and high standards/accountability • Maintain effective communications with stakeholders • Accomplish our mission through partnering with industry and other stakeholders • New and improved EM website at www.em.doe.gov
