Environmental Management Program- The INEEL's Environmental Management (EM) Program is responsible for managing a variety of radioactive and hazardous wastes that originated on- and off-site while conducting nuclear research and operations. Most of these wastes, and the environmental contamination that resulted from their handling, are a legacy of the Cold War. The EM program is treating, storing, and disposing of a variety of waste streams, cleaning up the environment, removing unneeded facilities, and preparing for the removal of DOE's inventory of spent nuclear fuel. This program is using the INEEL's challenges to solve problems for the INEEL and find solutions that also benefit DOE and the nation.
