Abstract:

Changes in how the basic laws governing the cleanup of the weapons complex are administered can potentially reduce cleanup costs. For example, DOE has usually assumed that all of its facilities will be cleaned up so that their use would be unrestricted however, many facilities are so contaminated that unrestricted use is unlikely.
