Highlights

This report, part of GAO's performance and accountability series, discusses the major management challenges and program risks facing the Department of Energy (DOE) as it seeks to maintain the nation's nuclear weapons capabilities, clean up the contamination resulting from nuclear weapons activities, and foster a reliable and sustainable energy system. Many of the challenges facing DOE are long-standing, and sustained management attention will be needed to correct these weaknesses. DOE must address shortcomings in its management of nuclear weapons and must improve its financial and contract management activities.
