This book addresses remedial action and waste management problems that the DOE and the nation are now facing that are the result of 50 years of nuclear weapons development and testing?problems that require a reengineering of systems and a reexamination of the scientific, engineering, and institutional barriers to achieving cost-effective and safe stewardship of the nation's resources. Improving the Environment evaluates the DOE's environmental management program in four areas: regulatory measures, organization and management, priority-setting, timing and staging, and science and technology.Table of Contents Front Matter Part 1: Synthesis Report Part 2: Evaluation of Regulatory Measures Part 3: Priority-setting, Timing, and Staging Part 4: Utilization of Science, Engineering, and Technology Part 5: Integration of Science, Engineering, and Health in ProgramImplementation References Appendix A: Charge to the Committee Appendix B: Workshop Agendas Appendix C: Biographical Information on Committee Members Appendix D: Biographical Information on Workshop Speakers andParticipants
