The task of restoring nuclear defense complex sites under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management (EM) Program presents an unprecedented challenge to the environmental restoration community. Effective and efficient cleanup requires the timely development or modification of novel cleanup technologies applicable to radioactive wastes. Fostering the commercialization of these innovative technologies is the mission of EM-5O, the EM Program Office of Science and Technology. DOE`s Federal Energy Technology Center (FETC) pursues activities integral to the EM-5O mission through its Cooperative Agreement with the EM Office of Science and Technology. On the road to commercialization, innovative technologies must overcome significant barriers with respect to technical issues, proof of performance, partnering, capitalization, and regulatory acceptance. The Energy {ampersand} Environmental Research Center (EERC), a not for profit, contract supported organization focused on research, development, demonstration, and commercialization (RDD{ampersand}C) of energy and environmental technologies, has entered the third year of a Cooperative Agreement with FETC designed to (1) overcome key barriers through technical support, real world demonstrations, and partnering; and (2) support the integration and deployment of winner technologies at EM sites. These activities, along with program management, make up the program areas of the FETC- EERC EM Cooperative Agreement (EMCA): Technology Commercialization, Technology Integration, and Management and Reporting.
