This panel will focus on the unique challenges and innovative solutions associated with the cleanup of the three sites that comprise the Oak Ridge Reservation. These sites are: the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Y-12 National Security Complex, and the East Tennessee Technology Park (the former K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Plant). The cleanup mission of the Oak Ridge Reservation is critical to address environmental and human health risk issues both on and off the Reservation, to enable the ongoing modernization of the Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration Missions, and to achieve the reindustrialized ETTP site end-state through the creative reuse of DOE assets. The panel will include presentation and discussions that highlight some of the innovative approves used in Oak Ridge to advance the cleanup mission given the challenges that our country is facing today. Two IPads donated by UCOR will be given away to the eligible participants attending this session.
