   Be advised that this is very old information...I last held a security 
clearance something like twelve years ago, and it was through 
DoD/DISCO, not DoE.

   You go to work for an organization without a clearance.  They apply 
for a clearance for you.  When you get that clearance, and subsequently 
leave that organization, your clearance persists for six months, then 
expires.  I don't know if there's anything involved in "moving" your 
clearance to a new company or agency, as I've never had to do that.

   Things may be a bit different now...9/11, no more cold war with the 
Soviet Union, etc.
