Hello, I am Nicole Nelson-Jean, Associate  Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary   for Field Operations at the Department of  Energy's Office of Environmental Management.   As the largest environmental cleanup program in  the world, the Department of Energy's Office of   Environmental Management, or EM, is responsible  for safely completing cleanup resulting from   decades of nuclear weapons development and  government-sponsored nuclear energy research.   Decades of government-funded nuclear weapons  development and energy research left an   environmental legacy impacting 107 sites in  35 states. To restore the land at these sites,   the U.S. Department of Energy established  the Office of Environmental Management   in the late 1980s. Today, it manages the largest  environmental cleanup program in the world.   Sixteen sites remain with  active environmental cleanup—the   largest of which is the Hanford Site  in the southeastern Washington State.   Hanf
