Abstract | This technical document focuses on the Department of Energy's (DOE) efforts to restore the environment and manage nuclear waste. This student edition was rewritten and edited by a team of high school students in order to make it "user-friendly" for high school students and the general public.

The document contains the following: (1) introduction; (2) changes in attitudes at the DOE; (2) how EM is structured; (3) the definition of environmental restoration and waste management; (4) DOE's 30-year clean-up goal; (5) DOE's 5-year plan; (6) types of waste that EM manages and how it is stored; (7) a definition of radiation; (8) a description of how the waste is managed; (9) corrective activities that bring facilities into compliance with regulations; (10) remedial actions and decontamination and decommissioning; (11) technology development; (12) methods for the transportation of radioactive and hazardous materials; (13) facility transition and management; and (14) EM educational opportunities.
