The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management supports the development and
deployment of innovative environmental cleanup technologies. Environmental Management's Office of
Science and Technology (OST) manages and directs a national program that provides the scientific
foundation, new approaches, and new technologies that are intended to significantly reduce the risk, cost, and
schedule for completion of the Department's cleanup mission. OST's policy is to perform peer reviews to
evaluate the technical merit and plausibility of new technologies prior to expending Department resources on
field tests.
