Nuclear Weapons Complex

Improving DOE's Management of the Environmental Cleanup Gao ID: T-RCED-92-43 March 30, 1992

Sound, credible management systems are essential to the Department of Energy's (DOE) cleanup of the nation's nuclear weapons complex. Addressing the environmental problems created by nearly half a century of nuclear weapons production is a herculean task. DOE and Congress will need to make hard choices between the weapons complex cleanup and other national needs. Management systems to set priorities, estimate project costs, and track programs will be critical to this decision-making. While DOE is making progress on these systems, further steps are necessary to improve the prioritization system and determine how it will be used, refine how DOE estimates costs, and complete and expand the Progress Tracking System.
