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

Major EM Accomplishments (contd)

• 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

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 DD
• Non-nuclear facility DD

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
