This panel will explore how effective collaborations among government agencies, national labs, universities, industry, and stakeholders are essential to advancing nuclear waste management. We’ll present examples of how these partnerships contribute to deploying innovative technologies and methodologies, including in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Environmental Management (USDOE EM) efforts to address Cold War and Manhattan Project nuclear legacy waste. The discussion will focus on how these collaborations enhance safety, reduce costs, ensure reliable remediation, benefit the environment, develop sustainable infrastructure, and assist in deploying technologies beyond nuclear waste management. The panel will also address the gaps that still need to be overcome.
