Users
of innovative technology are honored
DOE’s Office of Environmental Management is
awarding certificates to recognize federal employees at DOE
field offices who have gone the extra mile in implementing innovative technologies. Part
of EM’s FY99 corporate performance measures were the deployments of 129 new
technologies during cleanup projects throughout the DOE complex. Conferring certificates
is one way EM is spreading the word about its success in conducting a quicker, less
costly, and safer cleanup.
EM has devised its certificate system to encourage increasing levels of technology use.
Bronze certificates recognize project managers who’ve successfully pushed for the
first-time deployment of an innovative technology at a site. Winners of silver
certificates are responsible for an innovative technology becoming part of a site
project’s baseline. For FY00 accomplishments, EM plans to also award gold and
platinum certificates: gold for technologies that have become baseline at multiple
projects within a field office and platinum for technologies that have become baseline at
multiple field offices.
The following 89 certificate winners are managers on projects during which almost 40
new technologies became part of the baseline (silver level) and almost 90 new technologies
were deployed for the first time (bronze level).
