U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (TN-03) speaks at the Vision 2020 event in Oak Ridge Oct. 13, celebrating the completion of cleanup operations at the East Tennessee Technology Park. U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Gov. Bill Lee (R-TN), and Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette also spoke at the event. “I am honored and excited to be a part of today’s celebration with Sen. Lamar Alexander, Gov. Bill Lee, and Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette,” Fleischmann said. “I applaud the DOE’s Environmental Management program and the thousands of East Tennesseans that have worked for years to make today a reality. The realization of Vision 2020 — the completion of cleanup operations at the East Tennessee Technology Park, now the Heritage Center — is a tremendous milestone for nuclear cleanup in the state, as well as in the country. I will continue to work tirelessly in Congress to make sure that the cleanup progress that we are celebrating today continues until we have successfully fulfilled our obligation to clean up legacy nuclear sites.”
