Conference ·
OSTI ID:650218

Since its inception in 1943, Los Alamos National Laboratory`s (LANL`s) primary mission has been nuclear weapons research and development, which involved the use of hazardous and radioactive materials, some of which were disposed of onsite. LANL has established an extensive Environmental Restoration Project (Project) to investigate and remediate those hazardous and radioactive waste disposal sites. This paper describes LANL`s identification and resolution of critical issues associated with the integration and management of quality in the Project.
