Reconstitute the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management
Printed page 398 12. Department of Energy and Related Commissions
“Reconstitute OCRWM. OCRWM, as already established by statute, should be tasked with developing the next steps on Yucca Mountain and nuclear waste management.”
What has happened
- Not started
The Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management was not reconstituted. It appears on no DOE organization chart, and the functions the Quote would give it — next steps on Yucca Mountain and nuclear waste management — sit where they have since 2010, in the Office of Nuclear Energy's Office of Spent Fuel and High-Level Waste Disposition.

Research notes
Covered by the negative search run once for all the nuclear-waste asks: a search of all the federal records we keep for “Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste” and “OCRWM” returned nothing.
#1010 and #1011 depend on this ask and are likewise not started.
