Overview of the DOE's program to develop safer, more efficient, and less costly contaminant sensors and environmental and process monitors for remediating nuclear weapons production sites and facilities.

Historically, CMST-CP grew out of the DOE's site cleanup program that was begun November 1, 1989, and gained recognition as a "crosscutting program." From the beginning, the CMST program specialized in technology assessments, gap analyses, and information exchange, in addition to funding and managing numerous technology development projects. Genesis and History of the CMST Program provides a brief retrospective.
