Los Alamos is committed not only to excellence in science and technology but also to completing all work in an environmentally responsible manner. Every year, the Laboratory produces an Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) in compliance with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Order 231.1B—Environment, Safety, and Health Reporting.For the full ASER text, see Los Alamos National Laboratory document LA-UR-18-28565. Through the ASER, the Laboratory communicates to the public the impacts its operations might have on the surrounding environment and the approaches used to mitigate these impacts. This Environmental Report Summary magazine, produced primarily by Laboratory students, provides a nontechnical overview of the ASER and highlights many of the Laboratory’s environmental programs. The Environmental Report Summary recognizes efforts to create a sustainable future, control present processes to minimize impacts, and clean up past releases of chemicals, including radionuclides, to the environment. This publication summarizes data and findings from 2017, which was published in 2018. Comments are welcome at [e-mail].
