Weapons production and environmental cleanup issues now overshadow DOE's original focus on energy research and conservation. New missions have also emerged in science and industrial competitiveness. At the same time, DOE suffers from significant management problems, ranging from poor environmental management of the nuclear weapons complex to major internal inefficiencies involving poor contractor oversight, inadequate information systems, and workforce weaknesses. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-95-105/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-95-105.htm GAO/T-RCED-95-105 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-95-105 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-95-105; Department of Energy: Research and Agency Missions Need Reevaluating; Federal agency reorganization Energy research Energy supplies Nuclear weapons Agency missions Environmental monitoring General management reviews Management information systems Contract administration Strategic planning Strategic Petroleum Reserve SPR GMR
