The Department of Energy’s new Tank Waste Corporate Board will hold its first meeting in Idaho today, seeking to strengthen tank waste efforts that have been ham-strung by funding cuts and significant stumbles on the construction and startup of a trio of plants that will treat the waste. In a statement yesterday, DOE spokesman Colin Jones said, "The Tank Waste Corporate Board (TWCB) is being re-chartered consistent with the vision for the new Tank Waste and Nuclear Materials Mission Unit. The Board will meet semi-annually and include a group of senior Department of Energy, contractor and laboratory managers, and staff to formulate and coordinate implementation of an effective and efficient national Tank Waste program.”
