Environmental Remediation and Waste Processing and Disposal is a grant from the Department of Energy that funds the cleanup of environmental contamination resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research.
Managed by DOE's Office of Environmental Management, the program addresses some of the world's most hazardous radioactive sites, including large amounts of radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, excess plutonium and uranium, thousands of contaminated facilities, and contaminated soil and groundwater.
Key activities include facility deactivation and decommissioning, radioactive waste management and disposal, safe packaging and transportation of hazardous materials, and soil and groundwater remediation at sites across the country.

On June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.

Full applications are due June 2 from the ~150 researchers DOE pre-cleared in March. Here's what the program rewards, why this year's announcement leans hard into Executive Order 14303 on Gold Standard Science, what untenured PIs at academic institutions vs. national labs should expect, and how to position for the FY27 pre-application gate next March.
