Mission Unique Facility

One-of-a-kind, physically unique, large-scale, technically complex, long-lived operations that are critical resources to the mission of the DOE and to the nation. These facilities are essential to the development of the innovative, breakthrough technologies required for DOE to deliver on its core mission. They each were specifically designed, constructed, and are being operated to provide mission-essential, unique capabilities and are not reconfigurable for alternate use. Examples of mission unique facilities include: Accelerators (Particle and Light Sources), High Performance Computing Facilities, Fission Reactors, Fusion Research Devices, High Performance Lasers, Other Large, Unique Production and Waste Processing Facilities.
