DOE-EM continues to be plagued by staffing shortages, GAO says
Despite efforts to increase hiring, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management continues to be understaffed, according to a recent Government Accountability Office report. The GAO found that, at the end of fiscal year 2023, DOE-EM had 263 vacant positions across its headquarters, cleanup sites, and EM Consolidated Business Center, resulting in a vacancy rate of 17 percent. The office is responsible for the cleanup of the environmental legacy resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research.
