Vignette B: DOE Announces the Completion of Cleanup Activities at GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy\u2019s Vallecitos Nuclear Center. From 1995 to 2006, the Department of Energy was focused on the accelerated cleanup of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons production site in Colorado. The original plan called for 65 years and  37 billion to remove the contaminants, including buildings and remaining chemicals. Under the leadership of six different project managers, the site exceeded its goal by finishing 54 years ahead of schedule and with more than  30 billion in cost savings. The key success factors were: A clear vision of the end state. Alignment of government agency and regulators. Sufficient site characterization to have accurate information for baseline and scope planning. Funding support. Fixed-price contracting with incentives for total project performance. Management of the contract instead of the contractor. Continued focus on the goal. These lessons learned were applied to the Vallecitos Nuclear Center in California. The Department of Energy will also apply the lessons to the clean-up of the 1.5 million cubic meters of solid waste and 88 million gallons of liquid waste from nuclear production to be generated in upcoming years.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
