The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) facility. Brookhaven is a world leader in brain research, including how drugs, mental illness, nicotine, alcohol and even normal aging affect the brain. A Brookhaven collaboration was the first to discover that a drug used to control epilepsy stops cocaine's addictive effects in animals. In subsequent studies, Brookhaven researchers found that the drug effectively blocked test animals' craving for nicotine, heroin, alcohol and methamphetamine.

7. EMS managed as an integrated project
Formal Project Management Plan
Established scope, schedule, cost, technical tasks, project controls and tracking systems
Implementation Strategy
Phased implementation using Pilot Project
Integrate EMS with Management System Initiatives (ISM, QA, IA)
Enhance ISO requirements with EPA MOA Criteria
Compliance Assurance, Pollution Prevention, and Community Outreach
Challenges
Meet requirements of contract, MOA, and stakeholders
Change culture, Change operations, Change image

12. EMS Implementation at BNLLessons Learned Build on Existing Systems and infrastructure (very important!)
Work Planning/ISM: Env Aspects, Operational Controls
Quality Mgmt: Document Control, Nonconformance
Human Resource: Structure & Responsibility
Emergency Management: Emerg Preparedness & Prevention
Integrated Assessment: Monitoring & Measuring, Audits
Integrated Planning: Objectives & Targets, Env Mgmt Programs
Training & Qualification: Training, Awareness, Competence
Tap invaluable resource: People
Systems Thinkers on Team, Pilot process first
Team approach -- increases ownership, innovation, and value
Senior Managers-- unwavering commitment & support
13. EMS Implementation at BNLLessons Learned Use Web-based systems
Procedure and documentation delivery
Patience…maturation of system takes time
Anticipate “Requisite floundering” stage
Expect resistance to organizational change
Self-Examine, Self-Identify & Self-Correct
Test programs & provide feedback
Minimize external audit costs by minimizing findings - be prepared
Set & prioritize your own improvement agenda
Design for Successes
Plan early victories
Celebrate & recognize efforts
Creates momentum
