Our Mission Statement

The Environmental Management (EM) Program Mission in Oak Ridge is to complete cleanup safely with reduced risks to the public, workers, and the environment at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Y-12 National Security Complex (NNSA), and Off-site areas. These risks include potential exposure to contamination and industrial hazards resulting from decades of uranium enrichment (ETTP), research (ORNL), and weapons-related operations (NNSA).
