This panel session focuses on the US DOE Office of Environmental Management's actions taken in response to the January 2015, Inspector General's Audit Report on the Department of Energy's Management of High Risk Facilities. DOE EM, in collaboration with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the Office of Science (OS), and Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) initiated a joint working group to aid in the risk prioritization, life cycle cost analysis and improved disposition planning of excess facilities across the US DOE complex. WM attendees interested in DOE plans to implement this strategy are encouraged to attend this panel session.
