CRESP I: Projects 1995-2000
Background:
CRESP I began operation in 1995 after receiving a competitive cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy. A key purpose of CRESP was to test the viability of the 1994 National Academy of Science conclusion… “the Environmental Management Office of DOE needs an independent institutional mechanism to develop data and methodology to make risk a key part of its decision making.”
CRESP I worked to fulfill its mission by improving the scientific and technical basis of environmental management decisions leading to:
- advance protective and cost-effective cleanup of the nation’s nuclear weapons, and
- enhance stakeholder understanding of the nation’s nuclear weapons production facility waste sites
