摘要

Created in 1977 from diverse agencies, DOE manages the nation's nuclear weaponsproduction complex, cleans up the environmental legacy from the production of nuclear weapons, and conducts research and development on both energy and basic science. The relative emphasis given to these missions has changed over time. Early emphasis by the department on research and initiatives to cope with the global energy crisis quickly shifted to accelerated nuclear weapons production. However, by the late 1980s, DOE funding priorities again shifted to cleaning up the legacy of waste generated by the weapons complex, and this work remains DOE's largest budget category. Since then, DOE has placed increased emphasis on basic scientific research. DOE also has a role in helping to ensure the security of the nations energy infrastructure. The result is a department with complex and diverse missions. These diverse missions are largely implemented by contractors to carry out DOE's program and project activities at government-owned facilities and sites across the country. The department contracts out about 94 percent of its budget and has established an extensive network of field offices to directly oversee the work of these contractors and address other departmental responsibilities.
