It is the policy of the Y-12 National Security Complex to promote implementation of the elimination or reduction of waste generation. In keeping with this policy statement, the Y-12 Pollution Solutions Awards were developed to recognize Y-12 employees, teams, and organizations who demonstrate a commitment to reducing pollution.  Based on the required criteria for pollution prevention, the following projects/activities from fiscal year (FY) 2006 have been selected to receive the Y-12 Pollution Solutions Awards. These were selected from the FY 2006 completed projects that are reported and tracked through the Y-12 Pollution Prevention Program.
