In 2002, at the direction of the Secretary of Energy, EM conducted a self-assessment of the overall status of the program under DOE Order 435.1 Radioactive Waste Management, and found a number of areas that needed improvement, including contract strategies and approaches; risk prioritization; and internal business practices.
