Key Considerations for Oak Ridge's Future

•East Tennessee Technology Park - Lifecycle Cost Risk
–Roughly ½ of the EM-OR budget is spent on minimum safe/essential services, and ~40% of that is spent at ETTP
–As ETTP facilities continue to degrade, the cost for D&D continues to increase
Y-12 National Security Complex - Environmental Risk
Nearly 20 million pounds of mercury was used at Y-12; approximately 2 million pounds are unaccounted for and roughly 700,000 pounds are believed to have been released into the environment
•Oak Ridge National Laboratory - Nuclear/Rad Risk
–Over 26 million curies are currently stored at ORNL along side billions of dollars of Science investment
