Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
The activities for this focus area include, but are not necessarily limited to carrying out focus groups, surveys, development of communication tools and educational materials, and carrying out case and organizational studies to determine whether, and if so how, improved DOE organization, public involvement practices and procedures, and training would foster confidence in such approaches. This includes an analysis of relevant successful examples of stakeholder involvement in nuclear waste management policy or similarly complex decisions in the United States and other countries.
