Title: Task 10 - Technology Development Integration. Semiannual report, November 1, 1996--March 31, 1997
Abstract: The Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) in conjunction with the Waste Policy Institute (WPI) will identify and integrate new technologies to meet site-specific environmental management (EM) requirements at contaminated sites appropriate to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) interests. EM technologies offered by developers will be evaluated to determine their complementary contribution to new cleanup systems focused on particular characterization and remediation problems at specific EM sites. The technology clusters identified will provide EM cleanup capabilities that are significantly faster, better, safer, and cheaper than systems that are currently available. Work will be performed under the DOE-EERC EM Cooperative Agreement (EMCA), which includes provisions to develop, demonstrate, and commercialize technologies that address environmental management needs of contaminated sites together with management activities which accelerate transfer of technologies. The effort began July 1, 1995.
