All three portfolios are integrated into a single plan for the ORR that balances risks across regulatory, stakeholder, and mission priorities with the OREM program. Goals established in the OREM Program Plan FY 2022 to 2032 to address the environmental cleanup scope are:

• Complete ETTP cleanup and transition site to long-term stewardship;
• Reduce radiological risks at ORN;

• Ensure adequate onsite waste disposal capacity to support remaining cleanup.
