Overall EM Complex Progress• Productivity Improvements:
– Reduced $50B from $192B to $142B (in unescalated dollars)
– Accelerated the completion date by 35 years to 2035
• Risk to Workers and Environment have been significantly reduced– Total Reportable Case Rate (TRCR) and Lost
Workday Case Rate (LWCR) have been reduced by 42% and 38% respectively

Overall EM Complex Progress (cont)• Getting Work Accomplished (FY03 Complex-wide
results)– Exceeded Transuranic (TRU) waste to Waste
Isolated Pilot Plant (WIPP) goal by 41% (6372m3)– Exceeded Mixed Low Level Waste (MLLW)
disposal goal by 58% (118,361m3)– Exceeded Facility Demolitions by 133% (135
facilities)– Exceeded Remediation Completions by 21% (260
sites)

Strategic Vision of Idaho Completion Project
• Clearly Define End States and Focus on Risk Reduction• Convert to Focused Contract for Cleanup• Build on Recent Productivity Successes and
Accomplishments• Continue to Focus on Safely Performing Work• Eliminate Legacy of Past Missions and Create
Opportunity for New

Recent ICP Performance:• Productivity Improvement – since FY02 the ICP has:
– Reduced $10.1B from $25.7B to $15.6B (in unescalated dollars)
– The ICP completion date is accelerated 35 years – Getting more work done safely
• Getting Work Accomplished (FY02 – 6/30/04)– Eliminated 270,000 sq. ft. of the remaining EM
footprint– Packaged and shipped 40% of remaining EM-
managed Special Nuclear Material (SNM) off-site

– Eliminated 80% of backlog MLLW and over 1000m3 of newly generated mixed waste
– Remove all spent fuel from INEEL’s last three aging basins
– Emptied and cleaned five 300,000 gal. And four 30,000 gal. tanks
– Completed the Glovebox Excavator Method Project (GEM) and remediated Waste Area Group (WAG) 4
