DYK? The Manhattan Project National Historical Park offers a series of different Junior Ranger experiences based on the locations of the three park sites—Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and Los Alamos, New Mexico! Kids can unleash their inner explorer by diving into a world of science, technology, and history specific to these sites. Simply download a booklet, explore the park, crack some puzzles and earn a Junior Ranger badge or patch! What a way to celebrate #WorldRangerDay! Details here: https://lnkd.in/dTD-CmYt

About us
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management's (EM) mission is to address the nation’s Cold War environmental legacy resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. This legacy includes some of the world’s most dangerous radioactive sites with large amounts of radioactive wastes, spent nuclear fuel, excess plutonium and uranium, thousands of contaminated facilities, and contaminated soil and groundwater. Created in 1989, EM has the responsibility for completing the cleanup of this Cold War legacy and managing the remaining nuclear materials. As the largest environmental cleanup program in the world, EM has been charged with the responsibility of cleaning up 107 sites across the country whose area is equal to the combined area of Rhode Island and Delaware. EM has made substantial progress in nearly every area of nuclear waste cleanup and has completed cleanup at 92 of these sites.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 2024 Scholars got a chance to visit Catholic University’s Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL) where physicist Dr. Ian L. Pegg explained the process of vitrification and how glass is used to remediate nuclear waste. The Scholars were provided a glass pouring demonstration, and given a tour of the DuraMelter facilities, home to the largest test melter in the U.S. The group also made stops at the glass leaching, analytical, and nanotechnology laboratories. VSL is widely recognized as a center of excellence in glass science and technology. The laboratory’s experts have developed processes to more efficiently transform highly radioactive nuclear waste into stable glass that can be disposed safely. The laboratory is a contributor to key innovations in the vitrification technology central to Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant in Washington state.

EM congratulates a winning team of seven individuals across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and EM complex for receiving an American Chemical Society (ACS) award for their work in remediating millions of gallons of radioactive waste through EM’s Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) at the Savannah River Site. The ACS Heroes of Chemistry award recognizes the role of industrial chemical scientists and their companies in developing successful commercialized products embedded with chemistry for the benefit of humankind. The winning team members contributed both leadership and technical expertise leading to the long-term success and innovative science behind the SWPF project.

A new radio series on National Public Radio's (NPR) “Marketplace Morning Report”—one of the most popular business and economic news programs in the country—recently highlighted unique career opportunities and job training offered at EM’s Savannah River Site (SRS). NPR’s broadcast team conducted interviews with current SRS apprentices, program graduates, the SRS Apprenticeship School team, Augusta Technical College personnel and more. The series focuses on organizations that create physical, well-paid jobs during a digital age.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) goes under the hood to take a look at something all EVs share in common — a battery. Check it out ⬇️
If you want to learn about batteries and the clean energy transition, you’re in the right place. How are we working to meet the demand for batteries? How are we making them better and cheaper while using less critical minerals? How will batteries help meet the nation’s goal to get to net-zero carbon emissions? Get those answers and more from our newest podcast episode, “Fully Charged: How Batteries Are Combatting the Climate Crisis (Part 2)” 🎧Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eP79Z8aP Part 1: https://lnkd.in/erFttbUx

DOE Office of Environmental Management reposted this
Built nearly 100 years ago, the Hoover Dam is a hallmark of big and bold action in the U.S. We invested in America then and, under the Biden-Harris Administration, we’re investing in America now. By 2030, we expect to add the equivalent of over 300 Hoover Dams-worth of clean energy to our grid.
