Abstract
Prioritizing the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) targeted R&D program s upporting weapons-complex clean-up has been problematic. Considering issues common to all R&D evaluation, linking R&D prioritization to clean-up proje ct prioritization, the latter aligned with institutional goals, offers a pr agmatic solution. This method is illustrated with results of a clean-up pri oritization model of DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory site.
