JCCES Program Implementation Partners
The mission of OST is to provide the full range of science and technology resources that are needed to deliver and support fully-developed, deployable technological solutions to the environmental remediation problems faced by EM. The OST International Program (IP) Office is responsible for the identification, evaluation, acquisition, and demonstration of international technologies that can accelerate DOE cleanup operations. The goal of IP is to pursue collaborations among governmental organizations, educational institutions, and private industry to identify technologies that can address the environmental remediation needs of DOE. Through international agreements, OST engages in cooperative exchange of information, technology, data on technology development and demonstrations, as well as scientific exchanges. In keeping with EM ’s mandate to protect public health and the environment, IP seeks out and leverages foreign technology, data, and resources for the cost- effective remediation of DOE ’s nuclear weapons sites. IP works closely with foreign governments, industry, and universities to obtain innovative environmental technologies, scientific and engineering expertise, and operational experience that will support EM ’s objectives. Where appropriate, these international resources are used to manage the more urgent risks at DOE sites, secure a safe workplace, help build consensus on critical issues, and strengthen DOE ’s science and technology program.
Located in Katowice, in southern Poland, IETU conducts scientific research that provides the basis for the formation of Poland ’s national environmental policies and regulations. Working closely with government agencies, universities, and the private sector, IETU conducts environmental research projects for local and national policy makers. In addition, IETU conducts environmental education campaigns through the dissemination of publications and the hosting of workshops and training courses. Through international agreements, IETU collaborates with the global environmental community, leveraging foreign technology, data, and technical expertise. IETU maintains a staff of approximately 100 who focus primarily on the following environmental issues:

Based in Tallahassee, Florida, IICER serves as a conduit through which the United States can benefit from the expertise and experience gained by Central and Eastern European scientists from years of addressing environmental contamination problems under extreme and difficult conditions. IICER assists DOE by identifying technical experts and technologies in CEE that have potential application to the environmental remediation needs within the DOE complex. Promising technologies are evaluated rapidly in order to provide OST with cost and performance data on these technologies. For additional information regarding FSU and IICER, contact:

The Office of Science and Technology in Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental
Management conducts an aggressive technology development program for the deployment of
innovative solutions to address DOE’s environmental remediation needs. OST investments
provide the scientific foundation for new approaches and technologies that bring about
significant reductions in risk, cost, and schedules for EM mission completion.
In 1992, following a decision by the Polish Minister of Environmental Protection and
Natural Resources and Forestry, 
FSU conducts international environmental research that is used by international and
federal agencies and by U.S. private firms to facilitate collaboration with environmental
research organizations in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and other Central and
Eastern European countries. Under its cooperative agreement with DOE, IICER oversees
numerous tasks that contribute to the success of OST ’s International Programs.
