DOE's Management and Oversight of the Nuclear Weapons Complex
Abstract
We are here today to provide our views on the Department of Energy's (DOE's) management and oversight of the nuclear weapons complex. Today, the weapons complex is virtually shut-down. The complex faces a wide variety of serious environmental, safety, and operational problems, including facilities that have deteriorated; others that do not comply with environmental, safety, and health standards; radioactive wastes that have been stored for decades; and contaminated groundwater and soil that need to be cleaned up. The estimated cost to address these problems is staggering-ranging up to $155 billion. These and other problems have been due, in large part, to DOE's failure to effectively manage the nuclear weapons complex.
