Since its inception, the NDCEE has investigated nearly 200 technologies, which has resulted in more than 370 technology transfers and/or demonstrations. Under the NDCEE Program, technology is defined as "tangible systems or tools that are operated to extend human capabilities in performing practical functions." Based on this definition, technology is considered to include the following three categories:
- Equipment
- Materials
- Software tools
Equipment includes machinery, processes and devices, and associated operating software. Materials are physical items that are used as inputs to the manufacture or operation of equipment. Software tools are computer programs that perform technical functions or databases that store technical data on computer devices.
The below table shows the variety of technologies that the NDCEE has developed, investigated, demonstrated, and transferred including manufacturing materials and processes, environmental treatment and control devices, and site assessment and clean-up technologies. Details on each of these technologies can be found by clicking on the name of the technology in the table.
Note: Technology demonstration and transfer activities are driven by specific project requirements. For on-going tasks, technologies listed as demonstrated may be also listed as transferred in future updates.
