2026 Progress at DOE's Office of Environmental Management

America's future is being built on the progress we make today. Across the nation, this department is turning challenges into opportunity to advance cleanup, strengthen communities, and support America's energy future. At Portsmouth, cleanup progress is helping pave the way for new economic opportunity and the world's largest AI data center. At Savannah River and Whip, teams are developing next-generation technology to make waste shipments smarter and more efficient. At Oak Ridge, crews are advancing critical missions to eliminate legacy nuclear risk. At Savannah River National Laboratory, teams are using AI and machine learning to make cleanup smarter and more cost-effective. In Idaho, historic facilities are being safely deactivated and demolished, while innovative storage solutions support the future of nuclear research. And in Mohave, 16 million tons of radioactive material have been safely removed, clearing the way for the site's renewal and future use. And that hardly scratches the surface. What we have already achieved this year is more than cleanup. It's science and innovation in action. It's environmental stewardship. It's economic opportunity. It's strategic partnerships and it's national security. With every milestone, we are reducing risk, unlocking opportunity, and strengthening America's future. The mission is clear, the momentum is real, and the results will only get better.
