Summary:

The Department of Energy (DOE) faces a monumental task in addressing the legacy of safety and environmental problems created by almost a half century of nuclear weapons production and, at the same time, addressing important issues about the size and structure of the complex in light of a substantially reduced nuclear weapons arsenal. The cost will be large and the difficulties immense. This testimony discusses the (1) progress DOE has made in developing and implementing a safety policy and culture, (2) major challenges DOE faces in cleaning up the weapons complex, and (3) key issues DOE faces in reconfiguring the complex in light of weapons reductions.
