The 2001 Industry Partnerships for Environmental Science and Technology Conference was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) on October 30 - November 1, 2001, at the NETL site in Morgantown, West Virginia. NETL sponsors this annual conference to provide a forum for private sector organizations, potential users of technologies, and other interested parties to review the status of technology-based solutions being developed under the Office of Environmental Management (EM) /Office of Science and Technology's Industry Programs.
The conference addressed technical accomplishments and technology needs, and laid the groundwork for future opportunities for partnerships and new solutions for EM cleanup. Presentations, panel discussions, and a poster session featured the private sector and universities to develop and deploy technologies that address environmental restoration and waste management needs at DOE facilities.
Nearly 165 representatives from private-sector organizations, academia, national laboratories, other DOE organizations, and other government agencies attended the 2½-day conference, which included two plenary sessions, a poster session, and a panel discussion on future needs in applied research and development. The six technical sessions covered (1) transuranic and mixed waste; (2) subsurface contaminants; (3) small business innovation research; (4) university research; (5) tank waste; and (6) deactivation and decommissioning. The panel discussion focused on future opportunities in EM science and technology—applied R&D needs and technology gaps.
The papers and presentations in this document were produced from electronic files provided by the authors. They have been neither refereed nor edited. The proceedings are provided on CD-ROM, but are also available at www.netl.doe.gov (click on Events or Publications).
I would like to acknowledge the session chairs and moderators for helping make this conference a success: John L. Murphy, Robert C. Bedick, Jagdish L. Malhotra, Karen L. Cohen, Clifford P. Carpenter, and Ron K. Staubly.
