Weapons production and environmental cleanup issues now overshadow DOE's original focus on energy research and conservation. Science and industrial competitiveness have also emerged as new missions. In addition, 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-95-85/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-95-85.htm GAO/T-RCED-95-85 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-95-85 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-95-85; Department of Energy: Need To Reevaluate Its Role and Missions; Agency missions Energy research Federal agency reorganization Mission budgeting Strategic information systems planning Energy industry Information resources management Management information systems Environmental monitoring General management reviews GMR
