GAO report urges DOE-EM to learn from other countries
Several countries, including Canada, France, and the United Kingdom, recently have taken steps to accelerate the cleanup of nuclear waste. In a new report, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that these actions should serve as lessons for the United States.
According to the GAO, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management should “strategically engage with other countries to identify and evaluate alternatives that could help reduce risks and costs or accelerate its cleanup activities.” The report noted that DOE-EM agreed with the recommendation.
