                              INTRODUCTION

                         Response to Terrorism

      The conferees commend the personnel of the agencies 
funded in this bill for their dedication and professionalism in 
their response to the heinous and cowardly terrorist attacks on 
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
      The Army Corps of Engineers had a very prominent role in 
crisis response, engineering assessment, and recovery at the 
attack sites. The conferees believe that this disaster has 
again shown the wisdom of the current structure and alignment 
of the Corps of Engineers within the Department of Defense. The 
conferees continue to expect the Congress to be fully consulted 
before any proposed changes affecting the Corps or the unique 
role of the Chief of Engineers are implemented.
      The Department of Energy redoubled efforts to maximize 
and ensure absolute security of our Nation's nuclear weapons, 
nuclear materials, and critical scientific and weapons 
infrastructure. In a quiet, unheralded manner the professionals 
throughout the country at the Army Corps of Engineers and the 
Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation have spent 
much time and personal effort to ensure the safety of many of 
the Nation's critical water resources. The Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission remains vigilant about security at the nation's 
commercial nuclear power reactors. The conferees note that both 
Federal and contractor employees have made significant 
contributions at sometimes great personal sacrifice on behalf 
of our Nation, and we are grateful for their efforts.
      The conferees are aware that a number of requirements 
have surfaced since the terrorist attacks to address the cost 
of improved security at facilities funded in this bill. These 
requirements are evolving and are expected to be addressed 
within the $40 billion emergency supplemental appropriation 
that the Congress provided immediately following the terrorist 
attack. If additional requirements are identified during the 
year, the conferees expect each agency to follow normal 
reprogramming procedures to address those requirements. For the 
Corps of Engineers Operation and Maintenance, General, account, 
the Corps of Engineers shall submit to the House and Senate 
Committees for approval, any reprogramming of funds directly 
related to enhanced security at its projects. If all known 
enhanced security requirements cannot be fully met through 
fiscal year 2002 appropriations, the conferees direct that each 
agency in this bill budget for any such remaining costs in the 
fiscal year 2003 budget submission to Congress. The conferees 
direct the Secretaries of the Army, Energy, and Interior to 
each submit a report to the Appropriations Committees of 
Congress by February 15, 2002 which specifically identifies in 
detail all known physical security requirements that have 
surfaced since the terrorist attacks, and the degree to which 
each has been met through fiscal year 2002 appropriations and 
the fiscal year 2003 budget request.

      Pursuant to Public Law 105-104 and Public Law 105-105, 
the States of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia have been engaged 
in negotiations since 1997 over the reallocation of water 
storage in Federal reservoirs operated by the Corps of 
Engineers in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint and Alabama-
Coosa-Tallaposa River Basins. The conferees understand that the 
States may be close to reaching an agreement on new allocation 
formulas that will reallocate storage at the Federal reservoirs 
located on these river basins. The conferees recognize that 
these projects were constructed pursuant to Acts of Congress 
which prescribed how the reservoirs shall operate. The

considering a proposal to finance a major new software 
development from the assets of the Revolving Fund. This Fund 
was established in 1953 to acquire plant and equipment that 
would be utilized by more than one project. The conferees have 
noted that in recent years the Fund has been used to acquire 
and develop automation systems and have from time to time 
expressed concern with this use of the Fund. Before the 
conferees will concur in further use of the Fund in this 
manner, the Corps is directed to present appropriate 
justification to the House and Senate Appropriations 
Subcommittees on Energy and Water Development. This 
justification must include an appropriate and complete economic 
analysis.

                               TITLE III

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

      The summary tables at the end of this title set forth the 
conference agreement with respect to the individual 
appropriations, programs, and activities of the Department of 
Energy. Additional items of conference agreement are discussed 
below.

                           PROJECT MANAGEMENT

      The conferees strongly support efforts of the Office of 
Engineering and Construction Management (OECM) to improve the 
Department's construction and project management. The 
Department has announced plans to merge the Office of the Chief 
Financial Officer (the current location of OECM) with the 
Office of Management and Administration to form a new Office of 
Management, Budget and Evaluation. The Committees on 
Appropriations have been assured that this change will broaden 
the duties, scope, responsibilities, and authorities of OECM. 
The conferees understand that the Department intends to enable 
OECM to more effectively bring needed culture changes to its 
project management community.
      Congress supported creation of OECM as a final attempt to 
correct the Department's weaknesses in project management. The 
conferees expect OECM to be fully funded to support enhanced 
systems development and deployment, training, process 
improvements, and accountability. The conferees acknowledge 
that the expanded mission of this office encompasses project 
closure, facilities, and infrastructure management activities 
and urge the Secretary to give priority to retaining within the 
Department the technical skills needed for federal project and 
real property management. The conferees recommend that, at each 
site, the Secretary designate a management office to coordinate 
project and real property management improvements with this 
headquarters office.
      The conferees also expect the National Research Council 
to continue to monitor the Department's efforts in project 
management.

                     FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

      The conferees have provided funding in several programs 
for facilities and infrastructure improvement projects to allow 
the Department to begin to correct its worst deferred 
maintenance deficiencies and eliminate excess facilities. The 
conferees make this initial investment in critical 
infrastructure so the Department can begin to institute life-
cycle asset management improvement processes throughout its 
complex and expect that at least 25 percent of the funds 
provided will be spent to eliminate excess facilities.
      The conferees direct each site (not slated for closure) 
to prepare a ten-year site plan prescribing space utilization 
activities that stabilize, then reduce its baseline for 
maintenance costs by: (1) consolidating operations where 
practicable; (2) eliminating excess buildings; (3) employing 
cost efficiencies; and (4) addressing mission-critical 
requirements through an appropriate mix of renovations and new 
construction.
      Beginning in fiscal year 2003, to ensure sustained 
improvement in project and real property management, the 
conferees direct the Department to present an integrated 
facilities and infrastructure budget request. This budget 
should identify program maintenance projects for buildings and 
facilities by site. To the extent that indirect funding 
supports maintenance, the budget should also report, by site, 
expenditures in the previous year and estimate the percentage 
to be applied in fiscal year 2003. The conferees expect the 
Department to retain up-to-date corporate-level management 
information on the condition of its buildings and facilities 
and annual expenditures on maintenance for its complex.
      For new construction projects requested in fiscal year 
2003, the conferees expect the budget to show the square 
footage of each new project, and request funding for 
elimination by transfer, sale, or demolition of excess 
buildings and facilities of equivalent size. This excess 
reduction to new construction formula does not apply to 
environmental management closure sites. The conferees expect 
the fiscal year 2003 budget to contain funds to eliminate 
excess facilities based on the greatest impact on long-term 
costs and risks. The Department should apply this requirement 
to each site. Only if deemed impracticable due to critical 
mission requirements, through a case-by-case waiver approved by 
the Secretary through the Chief Financial Officer, should the 
requirement be met through the reduction of excess facilities 
at another site. The Department will collect information from 
all sites on the square footage of excess property sold, 
transferred, or demolished each year and submit a report 45 
days after the President's budget is presented to Congress.
      The conferees expect the Chief Financial Officer to issue 
such directives as are necessary to ensure that: each site 
prepares a ten-year site plan; annual property reports reflect 
accurately the Department's entire real property inventory, 
including the current status of maintenance and disposition of 
excess property at each site; program budgets request funding 
for elimination of excess facilities by square footage 
proportional to new facilities requested; and project and real 
property offices in the field adhere to corporate guidelines 
for managing new projects, closeouts, and maintenance of all 
facilities.

                     DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY STAFFING

      The conferees share the concerns raised by the House that 
the new National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 
structure may have had the unintended consequence of 
unnecessarily increasing the Department's overall personnel 
costs, particularly at the headquarters, from a Department-wide 
perspective. The conferees further agree that the Secretary of 
Energy should submit a report to the Appropriations and Armed 
Services Committees of Congress concerning staffing increases 
arising from the creation of NNSA, as the House intended, as 
well as the ``before and after'' staffing levels of each office 
and activity affected by the reorganization. However, the 
report should also address the broader administrative support 
staffing concerns below and potential staffing reductions to 
NNSA or other DOE offices if administrative support functions 
could be staffed more efficiently. The Secretary shall submit 
the report by January 31, 2002.
      With the new NNSA organization now in place, this affords 
a good opportunity for the Secretary of Energy and the Congress 
to take a fresh look at the management, effectiveness, and 
cost-effectiveness of the Department of Energy's administrative 
support functions at both the headquarters and field levels. 
Support functions includepersonnel, finance, contracting, 
facilities management, vehicle management, logistics, information 
management, public affairs, and congressional affairs.
      The conferees note that other organizations in the 
Department of Energy, such as the Inspector General and Naval 
Reactors, independently perform some of their own 
administrative support functions such as congressional affairs. 
The Inspector General of the Department of Energy has 
interpreted its charter under the Inspector Generals Act, 
particularly in regards to its perceived need to conduct its 
own congressional affairs, differently than any of the military 
services which, for example, use ``corporate'' congressional 
affairs offices to interface between the Congress and all sub-
elements of headquarters organizations including agency 
inspector generals.
      Fragmentation of administrative support functions may 
also dilute the ability of the Secretary of Energy to manage 
the Department to meet Departmental strategic goals such as 
improved financial and contract management. To the extent that 
the Department invests in unnecessary administrative support 
costs in a fixed or limited growth budget environment, 
resources are diverted from higher-priority mission areas.
      In submitting the plan on the staffing effects of the 
NNSA legislation and subsequent implementation, the conferees 
encourage the Secretary to focus on ensuring that the 
Department of Energy has the optimal administrative support 
structure to maximize mission effectiveness and minimize 
administrative support costs. As stated in the House report, 
the conferees encourage the Secretary to submit legislative 
proposals where appropriate to meet this objective.

                    ALTERNATIVE FINANCING APPROACHES

      The Secretary of Energy is directed to conduct a study of 
alternative financing approaches, to include third-party-type 
methods, for infrastructure and facility construction projects 
across the Department. This study is due to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 30, 2002.

                          EXTERNAL REGULATION

      The Department is directed to prepare an implementation 
plan for the transition to external regulation at the 
Department's non-defense science laboratories. For the purpose 
of preparing this plan, the Department should assume that the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would take over regulatory 
responsibility for nuclear safety at the Department's non-
defense science laboratories, and the Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration (OSHA) would take over regulatory 
responsibility for worker safety at these laboratories. The 
conferees expect the Department to coordinate with NRC and 
OSHA, and to build upon the previous external regulation pilot 
programs, in developing this plan. For planning purposes, 
external regulation would apply to the five multiprogram and 
five single-purpose laboratories under the Office of Science, 
and the Department should assume external regulation to become 
effective beginning in fiscal year 2004. The implementation 
plan for external regulation is not to address nuclear weapons 
facilities, environmental remediation sites, or other 
Department laboratories, facilities, and sites. The 
implementation plan should address all details necessary to 
implement external regulation, including an estimate of the 
additional resources needed by the NRC and OSHA, corresponding 
reductions in funding and staffing at the Department, specific 
facilities or classes of facilities for which external 
regulation cannot be implemented in a timely manner, necessary 
changes to existing management and operating contracts, and 
changes in statutory language necessary to effect the 
transition to external regulation. This plan is due to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by May 31, 2002. 
Note that this provision only requires the Department to 
produce an implementation plan for external regulation for a 
limited set of DOE facilities; the actual transition to 
external regulation for those facilities will require 
additional legislative direction.

                             REPROGRAMMINGS

      The conference agreement does not provide the Department 
of Energy with any internal reprogramming flexibility in fiscal 
year 2002 unless specifically identified by the House, Senate, 
or conference agreement. Any reallocation of new or prior year 
budget authority or prior year deobligations must be submitted 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in 
advance, in writing, and may not be implemented prior to 
approval by the Committees.

              LABORATORY DIRECTED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      The conference agreement does not include bill language 
proposed by either the House or the Senate regarding the 
Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program. 
The conferees recognize the benefits of LDRD and expect LDRD 
activities to continue at previously authorized levels. 
However, when accepting funds from another federal agency that 
will be used for LDRD activities, the Department of Energy 
shall notify that agency in writing how much will be used for 
LDRD activities. In addition, the conferees direct the 
Secretary of Energy to include in the annual report to Congress 
on all LDRD activities an affirmation that all LDRD activities 
derived from funds of other agencies have been conducted in a 
manner that supports science and technology development that 
benefits the programs of the sponsoring agencies and is 
consistent with the Appropriations Acts that provided funds to 
those agencies.

              ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY REQUIREMENTS

      The conferees agree with the House report language and 
support the reporting requirements for basic research for 
energy technologies, independent centers, augmenting Federal 
staff, budget justification requirements, sale of land, and 
reprogramming guidelines.

    REDUCTIONS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE SPECIFIC PROGRAM DIRECTIONS

      The Department is directed to provide a report to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by January 15, 
2002, on the actual application of any general reductions of 
funding or use of prior year balances contained in the 
conference agreement. In general, such reductions should not be 
applied disproportionately against any program, project, or 
activity. However, the conferees are aware there may be 
instances where proportional reductions would adversely impact 
critical programs and other allocations may be necessary.

                             Energy Supply

      The conference agreement provides $666,726,000 for Energy 
Supply instead of $639,317,000 as proposed by the House and 
$736,139,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
agreement does not include bill language proposed by the Senate 
earmarking funds for certain purposes.

                       Renewable Energy Resources

                             Nuclear Energy

      The conference agreement provides $250,456,000 for 
nuclear energy activities instead of $224,130,000 as proposed 
by the House and $264,069,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
conference agreement does not include language specifying 
funding allocations as contained in the separate House and 
Senate reports. Within the funds available, the conferees 
include $400,000 for the Secretary to contract with the 
nation's sole remaining uranium converter for the purpose of 
performing research and development to improve the 
environmental and economic performance of U.S. uranium 
conversion operations.
      Advanced radioisotope power systems.--The conference 
agreement includes $29,000,000 to maintain the infrastructure 
necessary to support future national security needs and 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration missions.
      Isotope support.--The conference agreement includes a 
total program level of $26,177,000 for the isotope program. 
This amount is reduced by offsetting collections of $9,000,000 
to be received in fiscal year 2002, resulting in a net 
appropriation of $17,177,000. The conference agreement includes 
$2,494,000 for the Isotope Production Facility at the Los 
Alamos National Laboratory.
      The conferees encourage the Department to continue to 
explore the concept of extracting medically valuable isotopes 
from the excess uranium 233 stored in Building 3019 at the Oak 
Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee. Within available funds, 
the Department is urged to proceed with a Request for Proposals 
(RFP) for this project after submission to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations of a budget-quality project plan 
which presents all costs, including the estimated life-cycle 
costs for storage and disposal of the excess uranium 233, and 
is crafted in a manner that would not increase the total costs 
for decontamination and decommissioning of Building 3019. The 
Department is reminded to consider the end use of the U233-
derived material for clinical trials when preparing the RFP and 
evaluating proposals for this project, and may require the 
contractor to be capable of meeting the Good Manufacturing 
Practice requirements of the Food and Drug Administration with 
respect to the production of actinium 225.
      University reactor fuel assistance and support.--The 
conference agreement includes $17,500,000, $5,526,000 more than 
the budget request. The conferees direct the Department to use 
the additional resources to begin implementing the 
recommendations contained in the April 2001 Final Report of the 
University Research Reactor Task Force of the Nuclear Energy 
Research Advisory Committee (NERAC), specifically, to establish 
geographically distributed regional university research reactor 
user facilities and geographically distributed training and 
education reactor facilities. The Department is expected to use 
a peer-reviewed process in selecting which facilities will 
receive Department support, and to involve fully the nuclear 
engineering and nuclear medicine communities in this process. 
The Department is directed to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations by May 31, 2002, on its plan to 
implement the NERAC Task Force recommendations. The program 
should also include substantial financial support from the 
nuclear industry.
      Research and development.--The conference agreement 
provides $51,000,000 for nuclear energy research and 
development activities.
      The conference agreement includes $7,000,000, $2,500,000 
more than the budget request, for nuclear energy plant 
optimization. The conferees direct the Department to ensure 
that projects are funded jointly with non-Federal partners and 
that the total non-Federal contributions are equal to or in 
excess of total Department contributions to projects funded in 
this program.
      The conferees have provided $32,000,000 for the Nuclear 
Energy Research Initiative (NERI).
      The conference agreement includes a total of $12,000,000 
for nuclear energy technologies, an increase of $7,500,000 over 
the budget request. The conference agreement includes 
$4,000,000 for completion of the Generation IV Technology 
Roadmap; and $3,000,000 for advanced reactor development 
consistent with the longer term recommendations of the 
Generation IV Technology Roadmap and to continue research begun 
in the current fiscal year on small, modular nuclear reactors. 
The conferees encourage the Department to implement the 
recommendations of the Nuclear Energy Research Advisory 
Committee's Near-Term Deployment Group to support industry 
applications to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for 
Early Site Permits, Combined Operating Licenses, and Design 
Certifications. The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 to 
share with industry the cost of these new NRC licensing 
processes. The conference agreement also provides $2,000,000 
for fuel testing, code verification and validation, and 
materials testing at national laboratories in support of 
license applications for new reactor designs.
      Infrastructure.--The conference agreement provides a 
total of $82,529,000. The conference agreement provides 
$35,357,000 for ANL-West Operations, which includes $2,000,000 
for the advanced test reactor research and development upgrade 
initiative. The conference agreement also provides $8,733,000 
for Test Reactor Area landlord activities. Funds provided by 
the Senate to initiate conceptual design for a remote-handled 
transuranic waste facility at ANL-West have been transferred to 
the environmental management program.
      The conference agreement provides the budget request of 
$38,439,000 for the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). No funds 
may be obligated for any purpose other than deactivation at 
FFTF until 90 days after receipt of the Secretary's 
recommendations for alternative actions at FFTF and the 
approval of those recommended alternative actions by the House 
and Senate Committee on Appropriations.
      Nuclear facilities management.--The conference agreement 
provides $30,250,000 as proposed by the House. This amount 
includes $4,200,000 for the EBR-IIshutdown, $16,200,000 for the 
disposition of spent nuclear fuel and legacy materials, and $9,850,000 
for disposition technology activities.
      Program direction.--The conference agreement includes 
$23,000,000 for program direction, a reduction of $2,062,000 
from the budget request.

                     Environment, Safety and Health

      The conference agreement includes $30,500,000 for non-
defense environment, safety and health activities, which 
includes $19,527,000 for program direction. When combined with 
$117,688,000 provided for defense environment, safety and 
health activities, the conference agreement makes a total of 
$148,188,000 available for environment, safety and health 
activities, a reduction of $1,912,000 from the total budget 
request for these activities. This funding reduction does not 
reflect any reduction in the Department's environment, safety, 
and health responsibilities, nor in the conferees' expectation 
that the Department will fulfill those responsibilities in a 
thorough and professional manner. However, the conferees do 
expect the Department to take steps to reduce its current 
headquarters staffing levels and reduce its reliance on support 
contractors to execute its responsibilities. The conference 
agreement includes $600,000 to be transferred to the 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration for worker health 
and safety at those sites transferred to non-Federal entities 
and for the Department's non-nuclear facilities not covered 
under the Atomic Energy Act.

                Technical Information Management Program

      The conference agreement provides $7,770,000, including 
$1,400,000 for the Technical Information Management program and 
$6,370,000 for program direction.

                          Funding Adjustments

      The conference agreement includes a general reduction of 
$18,000,000.

                  Non-Defense Environmental Management

      The conference agreement provides $236,372,000 for Non-
Defense Environmental Management instead of $227,872,000 as 
proposed by the House and $228,553,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.
      The conference agreement includes $43,000,000 for site 
closure and $64,119,000 for site/project completion activities, 
the same as the budget request. The conferees encourage the 
Department to accelerate cleanup along the Columbia River in 
Hanford's 300 Area.
      Post 2006 completion.--The conference agreement includes 
$125,753,000 for Post 2006 completion activities, an increase 
of $5,700,000 over the budget request. Additional funding of 
$3,700,000 is provided to maintain the cleanup activities at 
the Energy Technology Engineering Center in California. The 
conference agreement includes $2,000,000 for stabilization 
activities at the Atlas uranium mill tailings site in Utah as 
proposed by the House.
      West Valley.--The conference agreement provides a total 
of $90,000,000 for the West Valley Demonstration Site in New 
York. However, the conferees remain concerned about the lack of 
agreement between the Department and the State of New York 
regarding the scope of Federal cleanup activities at the site 
and the respective Federal and State cost shares for those 
activities. While the recent resumption of negotiations is 
encouraging, the lack of agreement remains, as the General 
Accounting Office noted, the most significant impediment to 
completing cleanup of this site.
      The conference agreement provides $90,000,000 for cleanup 
activities at the West Valley Demonstration Project in fiscal 
year 2002. Funding in subsequent fiscal years shall be reduced 
to the minimum necessary to maintain the project in a safe and 
stable condition, unless, not later than September 30, 2002, 
the Secretary: provides written notification to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations that an agreement has been 
reached with the State of New York defining the final scope of 
Federal cleanup activities at the West Valley site and the 
respective Federal and State cost shares for those cleanup 
activities; submits that proposed agreement to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations; and provides a written 
certification that the Federal activities proposed in that 
agreement will be in full compliance with all relevant Federal 
statutes, including the West Valley Demonstration Project Act 
of 1980 and the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, 
and are in the best interest of the Federal government. The 
Committees do not require the Secretary to submit a fully 
executed final agreement, but rather a draft agreement 
sufficiently complete to demonstrate that all principal issues 
in dispute have been resolved.
      Excess facilities.--The conference agreement provides 
$3,500,000, an increase of $2,119,000 over the budget request, 
for excess facilities to begin actual decontamination and 
decommissioning of excess facilities owned by the environmental 
management program.

             Uranium Facilities Maintenance and Remediation

      The conference agreement provides $418,425,000 for 
uranium activities instead of $393,425,000 as proposed by the 
House and $408,725,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning 
Fund.--The conference agreement includes $299,641,000 for the 
uranium enrichment decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) 
fund. Additional funding of $27,000,000 is provided for 
continued cleanup at Paducah, Kentucky, and $30,000,000 is 
provided for continued cleanup at the East Tennessee Technology 
Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
      The conference agreement does not include funding 
recommended in this account by the Senate for uranium 
conversion activities. This issue is addressed in the Energy 
Supply appropriation account.
      Other Uranium Activities.--The conference agreement 
provides $123,784,000 for other uranium activities. The 
conferees have included the budget request of $110,784,000 for 
operating expenses associated with the maintenance of 
facilities and inventories and pre-existing liabilities and 
consolidated the funding for these activities into one program.
      The conference agreement provides the budget request of 
$10,000,000 for Project 02-U-101, Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride 
Conversion Project, in Paducah, Kentucky, and Portsmouth, Ohio, 
and transfers this project from the uranium enrichment D&D 
program to other uranium activities.

proposed by the Senate to continue Project 96-U-201, DUF6 
Cylinder Storage Yard, at Paducah, Kentucky.
      Funding adjustment.--The conference agreement includes 
the use of $5,000,000 of prior year unobligated and uncosted 
balances.

                                Science

      The conference agreement provides $3,233,100,000 instead 
of $3,166,395,000 as proposed by the House and $3,268,816,000 
as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement does not 
include language specifying funding allocations as contained in 
the separate House and Senate reports. The conference agreement 
does not include bill language proposed by the Senate 
earmarking funds for specific purposes.
      High energy physics.--The conference agreement provides 
$716,100,000 for high energy physics, the same as the budget 
request. The conferees encourage strong support for university 
research and for research on low temperature superconductors to 
support high energy physics requirements. General Purpose 
Equipment and General Plant Projects should be funded for 
Office of Science laboratories at fiscal year 2001 levels. 
Funds provided by the Senate for a demonstration of the mass of 
the neutrino at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant have been 
transferred to the environmental management program.
      Nuclear physics.--The conference agreement provides 
$360,510,000 for nuclear physics, the same as the budget 
request. The conferees urge the Department to use these funds 
to enhance operation of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider 
(RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Thomas 
Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia.

includes $248,495,000, as proposed by both the House and 
Senate, for fusion energy sciences.
      Facilities and infrastructure.--The conference agreement 
includes $10,000,000 for a new Facilities and Infrastructure 
program, as proposed by the House, to address infrastructure 
needs at the Department's science laboratories.
      Safeguards and security.--The conference agreement 
includes $55,412,000 for safeguards and security activities at 
laboratories and facilities managed by the Office of Science.
      Program Direction.--The conference agreement includes 
$139,960,000 for program direction. This amount includes 
$63,000,000 for field offices, $72,500,000 for headquarters, 
and $4,460,000 for science education. The control level for 
fiscal year 2002 is at the program account level of program 
direction.
      Funding adjustments.--A general reduction of $12,800,000 
has been applied to this account, as well as the security 
charge for reimbursable work of $4,912,000 included in the 
budget request.

                         Nuclear Waste Disposal

      The conference agreement provides $95,000,000 for Nuclear 
Waste Disposal, instead of $133,000,000 as proposed by the 
House and $25,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. When combined 
with the $280,000,000 appropriated from the Defense Nuclear 
Waste Disposal account, a total of $375,000,000 will be 
available for program activities in fiscal year 2002. The 
conference agreement includes not to exceed $2,500,000 for the 
State of Nevada and $6,000,000 for affected units of local 
government.
      The conferees direct the Department to focus all 
available resources on completing a quality Site Recommendation 
report, and the accompanying final Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS), in a timely manner. The final Site 
Recommendation and final EIS were due in July 2001, and the 
conferees expect that these will be delivered to Congress no 
later than February 28, 2002. The conferees acknowledge that 
certain scientific and engineering work is directly related to 
the Site Recommendation and to resolving the technical concerns 
of the NRC and the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board, and 
that such work should not automatically terminate upon 
submission of the Site Recommendation. However, if the Site 
Recommendation is negative, the conferees expect the Department 
to terminate promptly all such activities and take the steps 
necessary to remediate the site.

                      DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION

                     (Including Transfer of Funds)

      The conference agreement provides $210,853,000 for 
Departmental Administration expenses instead of $209,611,000 as 
proposed by the House and $208,948,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Funding adjustments include a transfer of $22,000,000 
from Other Defense Activities and the use of $10,000,000 of 
prior year balances. Revenues of $137,810,000 are estimated to 
be received in fiscal year 2002, resulting in a net 
appropriation of $73,043,000.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the House allowing the Department to transfer funds 
previously appropriated for Year 2000 (Y2K) activities to this 
account. The Y2K funds expired on September 30, 2001.
      Specific funding levels for each Departmental 
organization are provided in the accompanying table.
      Office of Management, Budget and Evaluation.--The 
conference agreement provides $107,000,000 for the Office of 
Management, Budget and Evaluation. This is a new organization 
created by merging the Office of Management and Administration 
with the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (including the 
Office of Engineering and Construction Management). This 
reorganization is expected to improve program and project 
management by bringing together acquisitions, performance 
appraisals, and funding decisions.
      The conferees expect the Department to increase the 
current staffing levels and fully fund the program activities 
of the Office of Engineering and Construction Management.
      Corporate Management Information Program.--The conferees 
have provided a total of $15,000,000 for the Department's 
Corporate Management Information Program in two accounts: 
$5,000,000 in Departmental Administration and $10,000,000 in 
Other Defense Activities. The Department had requested a total 
of $20,000,000 in the Other Defense Activities account.
      Reprogramming guidelines.--The conference agreement 
provides reprogramming authority of $1,000,000 or 10 percent, 
whichever is less, within the Departmental Administration 
account without submission of a reprogramming to be approved by 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. No 
individual program account may be increased or decreased by 
more than this amount during the fiscal year using this 
reprogramming authority. Congressional notification within 30 
days of the use of this reprogramming authority is required. 
Transfers which would result in increases or decreases in 
excess of $1,000,000 or 10 percent to an individual program 
account require prior notification and approval.

                    Office of the Inspector General

      The conference agreement provides $32,430,000 for the 
Inspector General as proposed by the House instead of 
$30,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                    Atomic Energy Defense Activities

                NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

      The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a 
semi-autonomous agency within the Department of Energy, manages 
and operates the Nation's nuclear weapons, nuclear 
nonproliferation, and naval reactors activities.
      Nuclear posture review.--The conferees have provided a 
significant increase above the President's budget request and 
above the House bill in nuclear weapons activities, to include 
refurbishment of specific nuclear weapons as well as generic 
nuclear weapons-related process and infrastructure 
improvements. The basis for providing these additional funds is 
informal information provided by the NNSA at the Committees' 
request, rather than a formal budget request from the 
Administration. The information largely addresses on-going 
programs and generic process improvements, and does not 
identify the need to develop a specific new nuclear weapon in 
fiscal year 2002. The conferees agree that these investments 
are vital to ensuring that the NNSA can efficiently support 
Department of Defense schedules and requirements to maintain 
the highest levels of performance for our nation's nuclear 
weapons, while maximizing safety for NNSA employees and 
contractors performing the stockpile stewardship mission.
      The conferees are concerned that NNSA not spend funds 
early in fiscal year 2002 that turn out to be wasted effort 
once the Nuclear Posture Review and its implementation by the 
Administration and the Congress is completed. The conferees are 
also concerned that the NNSA not spend funds in fiscal year 
2002 that presuppose the outcome of the Nuclear Posture Review 
or thwart the ability of Congress to provide effective and 
timely oversight. It is the conferees' intent and instruction 
that the NNSA use the funds in its budget request and the 
additional funds provided herein for nuclear weapons activities 
only for generic process and infrastructure improvements and to 
continue on-going weapon refurbishment activities. NNSA should 
minimize weapon-unique investments in fiscal year 2002 in those 
instances where NNSA knows today that there is uncertainty 
about the long-term viability of the nuclear weapon or its 
delivery system. The NNSA may not use funds in fiscal year 2002 
to initiate new weapons development programs or to initiate new 
warhead refurbishment programs that have not been formally 
identified to and approved by the Congress, other than through 
formal written reprogramming requests to the Armed Services and 
Appropriations Committees of Congress.
      The conferees are concerned in particular about the W-80 
warhead refurbishment for air-launched cruise missiles. The 
Department of Energy has the means to extend the life of the W-
80 warhead by tens of years, yet the Department of Defense has 
yet to budget any funds to extend the life of its air-launched 
cruise missiles. Even if the life of the W-80 warhead and 
cruise missile were extended in an integrated and synchronized 
manner, the question of the desirability of extending the life 
of the B-52 aircraft fleet (already 40 years old) for a similar 
extended timeframe would need to be addressed by both the 
Administration and Congress. Because of the uncertainty 
surrounding these issues, the conferees designate funding for 
W-80 warhead life extension in fiscal year 2002 to be of 
special interest. Use of fiscal year 2002 funds for the unique 
costs to develop or implement W-80 warhead refurbishment that 
involve long-term life extension require advance written 
notification to and approval by the Armed Services and 
Appropriations Committees of Congress.
      NNSA budget justifications.--The conferees agree that 
NNSA budget justification material for major nuclear weapon 
acquisition programs is currently not sufficient toassure 
adequate Congressional oversight of these very important programs. 
NNSA, in conjunction with the Department of Defense, is expected to 
propose significant investment in strategic weapon systems (to include 
refurbishments and life extensions) during the next 10 years to meet 
military requirements once the Administration's Nuclear Posture Review 
is completed. The Congress will have to examine these proposals in 
detail and will likely be asked to agree to higher levels of annual 
spending for these initiatives. It is vital that NNSA articulate the 
investment costs and benefits of such proposals in a clear and 
consistent manner.
      The conferees direct the Administrator to submit Selected 
Acquisition Reports (SAR) once a year to the Armed Services and 
Appropriations Committees of Congress, to accompany the fiscal 
year 2003 and subsequent President's Budgets. The reports 
should be similar in content and format to those submitted to 
Congress by the Department of Defense pursuant to section 2432 
of Title 10 of United States Code. The NNSA should identify 
criteria for designating its major defense acquisition 
programs, as the Defense Department has done, and then report 
annually on systems which meet them. The NNSA should also 
identify criteria for when to start SAR reporting for a given 
weapon system, and when to end it. SAR systems are generally 
those which require a significant development cost (hundreds of 
millions of dollars) or significant acquisition cost (billions 
of dollars). The conferees anticipate that this reporting 
requirement will not place an undue burden on the NNSA. If a 
system is to be refurbished in a block-approach, the SAR report 
must address information on each and all blocks of the program.
      The conferees further direct that the Comptroller General 
review the NNSA's fiscal year 2003 submission of selected 
acquisition reports within 90 days of their submission to 
Congress, and assess whether they adequately and thoroughly 
identify information equivalent to what the Department of 
Defense provides Congress in its SAR reports. The conferees 
also direct the NNSA to include detailed information in the 
budget justification documents for its fiscal year 2003 and 
subsequent President's budget requests to Congress by weapon 
system. The budget should clearly show the unique and the 
fully-loaded cost of each weapon activity, to include 
refurbishments and conceptual study and/or development of new 
weapons.
      Construction projects.--The conference agreement includes 
a significant increase in funding for new and ongoing 
construction projects and a new program for facilities and 
infrastructure upgrades. While these increases are necessary to 
maintain the nuclear weapons complex, the conferees are 
concerned that these increases will tax the existing project 
management expertise of the NNSA and its contractors. To ensure 
that construction project funding is properly executed, the 
conferees direct the NNSA's Office of Project Management 
Support to review each of these projects and verify that the 
conceptual design and at least 35 percent of the detailed 
design are completed before construction funds are obligated. 
The NNSA is strongly encouraged to use the expertise resident 
in the Department's Office of Construction and Engineering 
Management for this purpose.
      Nuclear Weapons Council Reporting.--The Armed Services 
Committees require annual reporting on the activities of the 
Nuclear Weapons Council, a joint Department of Defense and 
Energy activity that manages nuclear weapons. This document is 
a key tool for the Appropriations and Armed Services Committees 
of Congress to perform effective oversight of our nation's 
nuclear weapons. The Secretary of Energy submitted the fiscal 
year 2000 report (dated October 1, 2000) on September 26, 2001. 
The conferees question the utility of a report (under 20 pages) 
whose information is about a year old when submitted, and 
whether the Departments of Energy and Defense take seriously 
the need to responsibly support Congressional oversight of 
nuclear weapons on a timely basis. Reports to Congress on a 
previous fiscal year's activities, to be relevant to the 
authorization and appropriations process, should be submitted 
for Committees to use during their hearings in the spring of 
the following year. Waiting until the end of the fiscal year to 
submit the information inhibits the hearing process, the 
authorization process, and the appropriations process as well 
as depriving Members of Congress charged with an important 
oversight responsibility from effectively performing their duty 
due to lack of timely information. The conferees direct the 
Secretary of Energy to submit future reports by March 1 of each 
year.

                           Weapons Activities

      The conference agreement provides $5,429,238,000 for 
Weapons Activities instead of $5,123,888,000 as proposed by the 
House and $6,062,891,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
Administration's budget request for Weapons Activities was 
$5,300,025,000 which included $271,137,000 for program 
direction activities. The conference recommendation transfers 
all program direction funding to the Office of the NNSA 
Administrator account which has the effect of reducing the 
fiscal year 2002 budget request for Weapons Activities to 
$5,028,888,000. Thus, the conference recommendation is 
$400,850,000 over the budget request for nuclear weapons 
programmatic activities.
      Statutory language proposed by the Senate to earmark 
funds for technology partnerships and community reuse 
organizations has not been included. The conferees direct the 
NNSA to fully utilize technology partnerships supportive of its 
missions, including the support of small business interactions 
including technology clusters around the laboratories.
      Reprogramming.--The conference agreement provides limited 
reprogramming authority within the Weapons Activities account 
without submission of a reprogramming to be approved in advance 
by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The 
reprogramming thresholds will be as follows: directed stockpile 
work, science campaigns, engineering campaigns, inertial 
confinement fusion, advanced simulation and computing, pit 
manufacturing and certification, readiness campaigns, and 
operating expenses for readiness in technical base and 
facilities. This should provide the needed flexibility to 
manage these programs.
      In addition, funding of not more than $5,000,000 may be 
transferred between each of these categories and each 
construction project subject to the following limitations: only 
one transfer may be made to or from any program or project; the 
transfer must be necessary to address a risk to health, safety 
or the environment or to assure the most efficient use of 
weapons activities funds at a site; and funds may not be used 
for an item for which Congress has specifically denied funds or 
for a new program or project that has not been authorized by 
Congress.
      Congressional notification within 30 days of the use of 
this reprogramming authority is required. Transfers during the 
fiscal year which would result in increases or decreases in 
excess of $5,000,000 or which would be subject to the 
limitations outlined in the previous paragraph require prior 
notification and approval from the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations.
      Directed stockpile work.--The conference agreement 
includes $1,045,814,000 for directed stockpile work instead of 
$1,043,791,000 as proposed by the House and $1,081,337,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      Campaigns.--The conference agreement consolidates the 
individual campaigns into six major groups: science campaigns, 
engineering campaigns, inertial confinement fusion, advanced 
simulation and computing, pit manufacturing and certification, 
and readiness campaigns. Funding for individual campaigns is 
shown on the accompanying table.
      For science campaigns, the conference agreement provides 
$269,703,000, an increase of $8,583,000 over the budget 
request. From within available funds, an additional $25,000,000 
is provided for advanced radiography to continue research, 
development and conceptual design for an advanced hydrodynamic 
test facility, including further development and evaluation of 
proton radiography techniques.
      For engineering campaigns, the conference agreement 
provides $245,225,000, an increase of $9,469,000 over the 
budget request, to meet additional program requirements.
      For inertial confinement fusion, the conference agreement 
provides $506,443,000, an increase of $39,500,000 over the 
budget request, and includes several program funding 
adjustments. The conference agreement includes $10,000,000 for 
the Naval Research Laboratory, the same as the budget request. 
Funding of $24,500,000 has been provided to further development 
of high average power lasers.
      The conference agreement includes $35,450,000 for the 
Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester, 
an increase of $2,000,000 over the budget request, to be used 
for development of critical short-pulse laser technologies that 
should be extensible to producing very high power laser 
capability on the National Ignition Facility as well as 
existing large fusion research lasers like Omega.
      The conference agreement provides an additional 
$7,000,000 for enhanced National Ignition Facility (NIF) 
diagnostics and cryogenic target activities, and $245,000,000, 
the same as the budget request, for continued construction of 
the NIF.
      The conferees understand the Department is preparing a 
National Petawatt Strategic Plan and support completion of this 
initiative, including within the strategic planning the 
research and development of supporting technologies necessary 
to ensure U.S. leadership in ultra-short-pulse laser 
technology. Funding of $3,000,000 is provided for conceptual 
and preliminary engineering design studies for a petawatt-class 
laser at the Sandia National Laboratory's Z machine, and 
$1,000,000 is provided to initiate development of critical 
short-pulse laser technologies like damage-resistant gratings.
      The conferees strongly support university participation 
in this program and have provided $9,886,000 for university 
grants/other ICF support, an increase of $4,500,000 over the 
budget request. This includes $2,500,000 to complete the 
installation and initiate operation of a petawatt laser or 
high-power, short-pulse laser at the University of Nevada-Reno. 
The conferees believe that early access to an operating 
petawatt-class laser will provide opportunities for exploring 
technology options to incorporate in the next generation of 
petawatt lasers. The conferees direct the Department to provide 
a monthly status report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the status of the University of Nevada-Reno 
project. The conferees have included the additional $2,000,000 
for university grants to encourage greater participation of 
universities in the Department's programs and as a means of 
training new scientists in high energy density and laser 
physics.
      For advanced simulation and computing, the conference 
agreement provides $729,847,000, a decrease of $8,185,000 from 
the budget request. The reduction in operating expenses should 
be taken against lower priority activities. The conference 
agreement allocates funding of $8,400,000 for Project 01-D-101, 
the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory at Sandia; 
$22,000,000 for Project 00-D-103, the Terascale Simulation 
Facility at Livermore; and $13,377,000 for Project 00-D-107, 
the Joint Computational Engineering Laboratory at Sandia. Each 
of these projects has experienced significant reductions in 
prior years due to funding constraints.
      For pit manufacturing and certification, the conference 
agreement provides $219,000,000, an increase of $90,455,000 
over the budget request of $128,545,000. On September 28, 2001, 
the NNSA Administrator notified the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations that the fiscal year 2002 projected cost for 
pit manufacturing and certification was $213,000,000. In 
addition, the conferees have provided the budget request of 
$2,000,000 for pit manufacturing and certification activities 
not specifically supporting the W88 and $4,000,000 for 
preconceptual design activities for a new pit manufacturing 
facility. From within the funds provided, the conference 
agreement includes full funding for subcritical experiments to 
be performed at the Nevada Test Site. Additional funding is 
provided within the Readiness in Technical Base and Facilities 
program to support facilities and activities critical to the 
success of the pit manufacturing and certification campaign.
      For readiness campaigns, the conference agreement 
provides $196,886,000, an increase of $31,869,000 over the 
budget request. This includes, at a minimum, an additional 
$24,000,000 for the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. No 
funding is provided for Project 98-D-126, Accelerator 
Production of Tritium, the same as the budget request.
      For readiness in technical base and facilities, the 
conference agreement provides $1,553,124,000, an increase of 
$106,136,000 over the budget request, and includes several 
funding adjustments.
      Within funds provided for operations of facilities, the 
conferees direct that, at a minimum, an additional $25,000,000 
be provided for the Pantex Plant in Texas and an additional 
$10,000,000 be provided for the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, 
Tennessee. The conference agreement also includes an additional 
$10,000,000 for the Z machinerefurbishment at Sandia; 
$10,000,000 to consolidate and enhance counter-terrorism activities and 
programs at the National Center for Combating Terrorism at the Nevada 
Test Site; and $1,500,000 for technology partnerships with industry as 
proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement does not provide additional 
funding to process uranium-233 as proposed by the Senate. This 
issue is addressed in the Energy Supply account.
      Within funds provided for program readiness, the 
conference agreement includes additional funding of $10,000,000 
for the operation of pulsed power facilities at Sandia National 
Laboratory. Additional funding of $9,094,000 above the budget 
request is provided to maintain Nevada Test Site readiness and 
maintain materials processing and component manufacturing 
readiness consistent with the 1993 Presidential directive 
concerning underground nuclear testing.
      Within funds provided for special projects, the 
conference agreement includes $1,000,000 for the Remote Sensing 
Laboratory to enhance pilot proficiency, aircraft safety, and 
aviation support elements; $1,000,000 for final funding for the 
tumor registry in the State of Nevada; $250,000 to prepare a 
plan to preserve the history of the Manhattan project; 
$1,000,000 for installation of exhibits at the Atomic Testing 
History Institute; and the budget request for the Los Alamos 
County Schools and the New Mexico Education Enrichment 
Foundation.
      The conference agreement includes $90,310,000 for 
materials recycling, $8,199,000 for containers, $10,643,000 for 
storage, and $88,923,000 for nuclear weapons incident response, 
as proposed by the Senate.
      For construction projects, the conference agreement 
includes several adjustments to the budget request. Funding of 
$22,830,000 is provided for Project 02-D-103, Project 
Engineering and Design (PE&D), including $4,000,000 for 
architecture and engineering services for modernization of 
surface support facilities for the U1A complex at the Nevada 
Test Site; $4,750,000 for Project 02-D-105, Engineering 
Technology Complex Upgrade at Livermore; $3,507,000 for Project 
02-D-107, Electrical Power Systems Upgrades at the Nevada Test 
Site; $16,379,000 for Project 01-D-103, PE&D, including 
$2,693,000 for electrical power systems upgrades at the Nevada 
Test Site; $67,000,000 for Project 01-D-108, Microsystems and 
Engineering Sciences Applications Complex at Sandia; and 
$2,000,000 for Project 99-D-108, Renovate Existing Roadways at 
the Nevada Test Site. No funds are provided for Project 01-D-
124, HEU Storage Facility at the Y-12 Plant in Tennessee.
      Funding of $3,300,000 is provided for Project 01-D-107, 
Atlas Relocation at the Nevada Test Site. The total estimated 
cost of this project has increased by $4,123,000 to 
$16,312,000.
      Facilities and Infrastructure.--The conference agreement 
includes $200,000,000 to establish a new program for facilities 
and infrastructure (F&I). The Department had requested no 
funding for this program. The conferees agree with the House 
report language on the F&I program and direct that at least 25 
percent of this funding be used to dispose of excess facilities 
that will provide the greatest impact on reducing long-term 
costs and risks.
      Secure Transportation Asset.--The conference agreement 
provides $123,300,000 as proposed by the Senate, an increase of 
$1,500,000 over the budget request.
      Safeguards and security.--The conference agreement 
includes $448,881,000, the same as the budget request, for 
safeguards and security activities at laboratories and 
facilities managed by the National Nuclear Security 
Administration.
      Program direction.--The budget request included 
$271,137,000 for program direction activities in this account. 
The conference agreement transfers this funding to the Office 
of the NNSA Administrator account.
      Funding adjustments.--The conference agreement includes 
an adjustment of $28,985,000 for a security charge for 
reimbursable work, as proposed in the budget, and a general 
reduction of $80,000,000.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation

      The conference agreement provides $803,586,000 for 
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation instead of $845,341,000 as 
proposed by the House and $880,500,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. The Administration's budget request for Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation was $773,700,000 which included $51,459,000 
for program direction activities. The conference recommendation 
transfers all program direction funding to the Office of the 
NNSA Administrator account which has the effect of reducing the 
budget request for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation to 
$722,241,000. Thus, the conference recommendation is an 
increase of $81,345,000 over the budget request.
      Statutory language proposed by the Senate to earmark 
funding for official reception and representation expenses has 
not been included. This activity is funded in the Office of the 
NNSA Administrator account.
      Limitation on Russian and Newly Independent States' (NIS) 
program funds.--The conferees are concerned about the amount of 
funding for Russian and NIS programs which remains in the 
United States for Department of Energy contractors and 
laboratories rather than going to the facilities in Russia and 
the NIS. The conferees expect the Department to continue to 
increase the level of funding provided to Russia versus the 
funding which remains in the United States for Department of 
Energy contractors and laboratories in each subsequent year. 
The conferees direct the Department to apply the lowest 
possible laboratory overhead rates and to increase the percent 
of funding spent in Russia. The Department is to provide a 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by 
January 31, 2002, and each subsequent year on the amount of 
fundingprovided to Russia and NIS in each program area. The 
Department should work with the Committees on the specific information 
to be included in the report.
      Nonproliferation and verification research and 
development.--The conference agreement provides $244,306,000 
for nonproliferation and verification research and development. 
This includes $19,510,900 for ground-based systems for treaty 
monitoring, an increase of $7,000,000 over the budget request. 
From within available funds, $4,000,000 is provided to 
establish the Remote Systems Test and Engineering Center at the 
Remote Sensing Laboratory and $2,500,000 for the Incorporated 
Research Institutions for Seismology PASSCAL Instrument Center. 
The Department is urged to review the potential value of the 
Caucasus Seismic Information Network to the nuclear explosion 
monitoring national security mission.
      The conferees continue to support more opportunity for 
open competition in appropriate areas of the nonproliferation 
and verification research and development program. The 
conferees expect the Department to continue to implement 
recommendations provided by the external review group in 
support of open competition and direct the Department to 
initiate a free and open competitive process for at least 25 
percent of its research and development activities during 
fiscal year 2002 for ground-based systems treaty monitoring. 
The competitive process should be open to all Federal and non-
Federal entities.
      Arms control.--The conference agreement provides 
$75,741,000 for arms control activities, instead of the budget 
request of $101,500,000, due to several funding transfers. The 
conference agreement transfers $4,000,000 for the Second Line 
of Defense program to the International Materials Protection, 
Control and Accounting program. Funding of $28,759,000 for the 
NIS nonproliferation program for the Initiatives for 
Proliferation Prevention and the Nuclear Cities Initiative has 
been transferred to a new program, ``Russian Transition 
Initiatives.'' Funding of $15,945,000, an increase of 
$7,000,000 over the budget request, has been provided for spent 
nuclear fuel activities in Kazakhstan. No additional funds are 
provided for spent nuclear fuel storage and a geologic 
repository in Russia.
      International materials protection, control and 
accounting (MPC&A).--The conference agreement includes 
$173,000,000 for the MPC&A program including $4,000,000 for the 
Second Line of Defense program which was transferred from the 
Arms Control program.
      Russian Transition Initiatives.--The conference agreement 
provides $42,000,000 for the Initiatives for Proliferation 
Prevention program and the Nuclear Cities Initiative. These 
programs were transferred from the arms control program. The 
conferees expect the Department to provide a single program 
manager responsible for both programs and have provided the 
Department the flexibility to allocate the funding between the 
two programs. The program manager should also ensure close 
coordination with other Federal agencies that direct money to 
scientists working in closed cities.
      HEU transparency implementation.--The conference 
agreement provides $13,950,000, the same as the budget request.
      International nuclear safety.--The conference agreement 
provides $10,000,000 for the international nuclear safety 
program, a reduction of $3,800,000 from the budget request. 
This funding is to be used only for activities in support of 
completing the upgrades to Soviet-designed nuclear reactors. 
From within available funds, the conference agreement provides 
$1,500,000 to transfer and implement proven U.S.-developed 
Mechanical Stress Improvement Process technology requested by 
the Russian Federation. The Department is to provide a status 
report on the progress of this project by March 31, 2002.
      Fissile materials disposition.--The conference agreement 
provides $302,422,000 for fissile materials disposition, an 
increase of $12,333,000 over the budget request. Limitations on 
the amount of funding which remains in the United States shall 
not apply to the fissile material disposition programs.
      The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 to support 
the joint United States-Russian program to develop an advanced 
reactor for plutonium disposition. The United States should 
take advantage of this technology for a possible next 
generation nuclear power reactor for United States and foreign 
markets. Therefore, the Department should explore opportunities 
to develop and exploit this technology for commercial purposes.
      The conferees are concerned that the Administration's 
consideration of alternative plutonium disposition and 
management scenarios, combined with a much lower than expected 
budget request, have introduced substantial instability into 
both the Russian and U.S. components of the plutonium 
disposition program. The conferees regard this program as one 
of the most important nonproliferation initiatives undertaken 
between the United States and Russia. It is also closely 
integrated into the Department's environmental cleanup and 
material management programs. The instabilities injected into 
this program are jeopardizing the future of this program, both 
in this country and in Russia, and may result in the permanent 
loss of this significant opportunity.
      The conferees understand that the issue of plutonium 
disposition at the Savannah River Site will be fully addressed 
in the Fiscal Year 2002 Defense Authorization Act. However, the 
conferees direct the Secretary of Energy to consult with the 
Governor of the State of South Carolina regarding any decisions 
or plans of the Secretary related to the disposition of surplus 
defense plutonium located at the Savannah River Site. The 
Secretary is also directed to submit to Congress a plan for 
disposal of surplus defense plutonium currently located at the 
Savannah River site and for disposal of defense plutonium and 
defense plutonium materials to be shipped to the Savannah River 
Site in the future. This plan is due by February 1, 2002.
      The conferees further direct the Secretary to provide 30 
days notice to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations before resuming shipments of defense plutonium 
and defense plutonium materials to the Savannah River Site.
      Until further approval from the Committees on 
Appropriations, the conferees expect that funds set aside for 
plutonium disposition in Public Law 105-227, the Omnibus 
Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 
1999, shall only be used in a manner consistent with the 
current plutonium disposition program.
      At the request of the Department, the conference 
agreement makes the following changes to the Department's 
budget request. Funding of $5,000,000 is reallocated from 
Project 99-D-141, the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility, 
to operating expenses in support of this project. Funding of 
$29,340,000, an increase of $5,340,000 over the budget request, 
is provided for Project 01-D-407, the HEU Blend Down Project. 
Funding of $65,993,000, an increase of $2,993,000 over the 
budget request, is provided for Project 99-D-143, the Mixed 
Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility. These increases totaling 
$8,333,000 are funded through balances remaining from prior 
year construction projects.
      Program direction.--The budget request included 
$51,459,000 for program direction activities in this account. 
The conference agreement transfers this funding to the Office 
of the NNSA Administrator account.
      Funding adjustments.--The conference agreement includes 
funding adjustments of $57,833,000. This includes the use of 
$42,000,000 of prior year balances, as requested in the budget; 
$8,333,000 from prior year balances in fissile materials 
disposition construction projects; and $7,500,000 from prior 
year unobligated and uncosted balances.

                             Naval Reactors

      The conference agreement provides $688,045,000 for Naval 
Reactors, the same as the budget request.

                      Office of the Administrator

      The conference agreement provides $312,596,000 for the 
Office of the Administrator instead of $10,000,000 as proposed 
by the House and $15,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
conference agreement consolidates program direction funds of 
$337,596,000 requested in the weapons activities, defense 
nuclear nonproliferation, and office of the administrator 
appropriation accounts. Total funding of $312,596,000 has been 
provided, a reduction of $25,000,000 from the original request. 
This reduction anticipates efficiencies to be gained through 
this consolidation and the use of prior year unobligated 
balances from the three merged program direction accounts.
      The conferees do not support increasing the total number 
of staff in the NNSA. While there is broad agreement that NNSA 
may not have the appropriate skill mix in its existing work 
force, there is also broad agreement that simply adding more 
people is not the answer.
      Statutory language providing $12,000 for official 
reception and representation expenses has been included.

           Environmental and Other Defense Related Activities

         DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

      The conference agreement provides $5,234,576,000 for 
Defense Environmental Restoration and Waste Management instead 
of $5,174,539,000 as proposed by the House and $5,389,868,000 
as proposed by the Senate. Additional funding of $1,092,878,000 
is contained in the Defense Facilities Closure Projects account 
and $153,537,000 in the Defense Environmental Management 
Privatization account for a total of $6,480,991,000 provided 
for all defense environmental management activities.
      The conference agreement provides for the purchase of not 
to exceed 30 passenger motor vehicles as proposed by the House.
      The conferees believe the significant cleanup issues 
before the Department at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in 
Kentucky require continued strong management oversight from 
Headquarters. The conferees direct that the Secretary provide 
for the management of environmental matters (including planning 
and budgetary activities) with respect to the plant through the 
Assistant Secretary of Energy for Environmental Management. The 
Assistant Secretary shall ensure that direct communication and 
thorough consultation exists at all times between herself and 
the head of the Paducah environmental cleanup programs on all 
relevant matters.
      Low level waste disposal.--The conferees agree that the 
Department, where cost-effective, should use existing Federal 
contracts for the disposal of low-level and mixed low-level 
waste at commercial off-site disposal facilities. Further, 
before proceeding with any new on-site disposal cell, the 
Department is directed to submit to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations an objective analysis comparing 
the life-cycle costs of on-site versus off-site disposal 
alternatives. Such analysis must address the concerns 
identified by the General Accounting Office in its recent 
report (GAO-01-441), which found that the Department has not 
made accurate estimates of waste volumes and transportation 
costs when comparing on-site versus off-site alternatives.
      Site/Project Completion.--The conference agreement 
provides additional funding to mitigate funding shortfalls at 
the following sites: $18,000,000 for the Idaho site; 
$20,000,000 for the Savannah River Site in South Carolina; 
$34,300,000 for the Hanford site in Richland, Washington; and 
$7,000,000 for South Valley, Kansas City, Pantex, and Sandia.
      The conference agreement includes $9,000,000 to expedite 
the remediation and conveyance of up to 2000 acres of land for 
the use of Pueblo of San Ildefonso and approximately 100 acres 
to the County of Los Alamos consistent with the direction of 
section 632 of Public Law 105-119.
      Funding of $20,000,000 has been provided for a new 
construction project, Project 02-D-420, Plutonium Packaging and 
Stabilization, at the Savannah River Site. At the request of 
the Department, the conference agreement consolidates funding 
from the following sources for this project: $7,500,000 from 
current and prior year balances in Project 01-D-414, Project 
Engineering and Design (PE&D); $4,000,000 from prior year 
balances available from cancellation of Project 01-D-415, 235-F 
Packaging and Stabilization project; and $8,500,000 from prior 
year balances provided to the Savannah River Site in fiscal 
year 2001 for plutonium stabilization activities.
      Funding of $2,754,000 is provided for Project 01-D-414, 
Project Engineering and Design, as proposed by the House.
      Post 2006 Completion.--The conference agreement provides 
additional funding over the budget request for several 
activities. Additional funding of $105,000,000 is provided for 
the Idaho site. From within these funds, $15,000,000 is to 
initiate activities associated with the demonstration of waste 
retrieval at the subsurface disposal area at the Idaho National 
Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL); $700,000 is 
to continue conceptual design activities for a subsurface 
geosciences laboratory at Idaho; $4,000,000 is for the

      Office of River Protection.--The conference agreement 
provides $1,033,468,000, an increase of $221,000,000 over the 
budget request, for the Office of River Protection at the 
Hanford site in Washington. Funding of $665,000,000 has been 
provided for Project 01-D-416, the Hanford Waste Treatment 
Plant, to vitrify the high-level waste in underground tanks.
      While the conferees share Washington State's concern 
regarding the Administration's inadequate budget request for 
the Office of River Protection and Hanford cleanup activities 
and recognize the right of the State to levy fines under the 
Tri-Party Agreement, the conferees question the 
constructiveness of the State's imposition of weekly fines due 
to the Department's failure to begin construction on the waste 
treatment plant. As demonstrated in this conference, the 
conferees continue to adequately support this project and 
believe the weekly fines may only be serving to distract site 
managers from the mission of cleanup.
      Science and technology development.--The conference 
agreement provides $255,768,000 for the science and technology 
development program. The conference agreement provides 
$4,000,000 for the next round of new and innovative research

      Limitation on multi-year funding agreements.--The 
Department is directed not to sign any new funding agreement 
that commits more than one year of funding for science and 
technology activities with any entity. The following types of 
agreements are exempt from this direction: basic and applied 
research projects that have been competitively awarded; 
competitively awarded science and technology projects that are 
phased such that funding for the succeeding phases is 
contingent upon successful performance, continued scientific 
merit, and mission relevance of the work to environmental 
management; and projects requiring significant infrastructure 
investment which will be cost shared between the Department and 
the performing entity. For new science andtechnology projects 
not meeting one of the above exemptions, the Department shall provide 
written notification to the Committees of its intent to enter into an 
agreement that commits more than one year of funding a minimum of 60 
days prior to award. This notification must provide a detailed 
description of the project, the expected benefits, and a justification 
for multiple year funding.
      Excess facilities.--The conference agreement includes 
$5,000,000, an increase of $3,700,000 over the budget request,

                   Advanced Accelerator Applications

      The conference agreement provides $50,000,000 to continue 
research on advanced accelerator applications, including 
$4,500,000 for research and development of technologies for 
economic and environmentally-sound refinement of spent nuclear 
fuel at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas; $4,000,000 for 
reactor-based transmutation studies; and $1,500,000 for the 
Idaho Accelerator Center. No funds are provided for Project 98-
D-126, Accelerator Production of Tritium.
      The President's National Energy Policy of May 2001 
acknowledged the potential of reprocessing and transmutation 
technologies to reduce the quantity and long-term toxicity of 
spent nuclear fuel, and recommended further consideration of 
such technologies. The Advanced Accelerator Applications 
program will provide the technical information to support a 
future policy decision on these options.
      The Department is directed to prepare a report for 
Congress by May 1, 2002, providing a comparison of the chemical 
and pyro-reprocessing, accelerator-driven transmutation, and 
fast reactor transmutation alternatives, fully disclosing all 
waste streams and estimating the life-cycle costs to construct, 
operate, and decommission and decontaminate all necessary 
facilities. The Department should also compare the 
proliferation resistance of the various technologies. The 
baseline for all comparisons should be the once-through fuel 
cycle as presently used in the United States, and the amount of 
spent nuclear fuel presently scheduled for disposal in the 
geologic repository. The conferees expect this report to 
present the Department's strategy for siting the new processing 
and disposal facilities that would be required for the various 
reprocessing and transmutation alternatives, again assuming a 
capacity sufficient to process the amount of spent fuel 
presently scheduled for geologic disposal. The conferees 
encourage the participation of international collaborators, 
industrial partners, and U.S. universities in this effort.

            Independent Oversight and Performance Assurance

      The conference agreement provides $14,904,000, the same 
as the budget request, for the independent oversight and 
performance assurance program. The conferees are aware that 
additional duties for environmental oversight have been 
assigned to this office and expect the Department to submit a 
reprogramming to transfer an estimated $7,000,000 to support 
these oversight activities which have been funded previously in 
the environment, safety and health program.

                Environment, Safety and Health (Defense)

      The conference agreement provides $117,688,000 for 
defense-related environment, safety and health activities. From 
within available funds, $53,438,000 is provided for health 
effects studies and $13,500,000 for the Radiation Effects 
Research Foundation, the same as the budget request. The 
conferees have provided $5,000,000 to continue a program at the 
University of Nevada-Las Vegas for Department-wide management 
of electronic records; $1,750,000 for the University of 
Louisville and the University of Kentucky to perform 
epidemiological studies of workers; and $1,000,000 for health 
studies of workers at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant.
      The U.S. government is currently renegotiating its 
diplomatic, defense, and economic relationship with the 
Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The 
conferees urge the U.S. government to provide a single, 
combined package of assistance to support the medical and 
public health infrastructure needs of the Marshall Islands and 
believe that the negotiations should include discussion of the 
transition of the environmental monitoring program to the RMI.
      The conference agreement includes $22,000,000 for program 
direction, a reduction of $1,293,000 from the budget request.

                           Denali Commission

      The conference agreement includes $38,000,000 for the 
Denali Commission instead of $40,000,000 as proposed by the 
Senate and no funding as proposed by the House. The conferees 
expect the Denali Commission to submit quarterly financial 
reports providing detailed accounting data on the expenditure 
of funds during fiscal year 2002 and thereafter. The conferees 
also expect to receive from the Commission a detailed budget 
justification if funds are requested in fiscal year 2003.

                     Nuclear Regulatory Commission

                         salaries and expenses

      The conference agreement includes $516,900,000 as 
proposed by the House and the Senate, to be offset by revenues 
of $473,520,000, as proposed by the House, for a net 
appropriation of $43,380,000. This reflects the statutory 
language adopted by the conference in the prior fiscal year to 
reduce the fee recovery requirement to 96 percent in fiscal 
year 2002. The conference amount provides an increase of 
$10,000,000 over the budget request, with the standard formula 
for fee recovery being applied to this added increment of 
funding.
      The conference agreement includes language prohibiting 
the implementation or enforcement of the revised 10 C.F.R. Part 
35, as adopted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on October 
23, 2000, with respect to diagnostic nuclear medicine, except 
for those parts of the new rule which establish revised 
training and experience requirements for persons seeking 
licensing as authorized users, until after the Commission has 
provided a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations explaining why the regulatory burden could not 
be reduced further in the new rule without adversely affecting 
public health and safety. The conferees direct the Commission 
to submit this report not later than January 31, 2002. The 
language included in the conference agreement is only an 
interim measure until a more permanent solution can be reached, 
either by the authorization committees or through a revised 
rulemaking.

                      Office of Inspector General

      The conference agreement includes $6,180,000 as proposed 
by the House, to be offset by revenues of $5,933,000, for a net 
appropriation of $247,000. This reflects the statutory language 
adopted by the conference in the prior fiscal year to reduce 
the fee recovery requirement to 96 percent in fiscal year 2002.

                  Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board

                         salaries and expenses

      The conference agreement provides $3,100,000 as proposed 
by the House instead of $3,500,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

      Sec. 501. The conference agreement includes language 
directing that none of the funds in this Act may be used in any 
way, directly or indirectly, to influence congressional action 
on any legislation or appropriation matters pending before 
Congress, other than to communicate to Members of Congress as 
described in section 1913 of title 18, United States Code. This

Development Appropriations Acts.
      Sec. 502. The conference agreement includes language

proposed by the Senate to require the Secretary of the Army to 
conduct a study on the environmental effects of oil and gas 
drilling in the Great Lakes and prohibit Federal and State 
issuance of permits or leases for new drilling from October 1, 
2001 through September 30, 2003.
      Provisions not adopted.--The conference agreement deletes 
Section 503 of the House bill providing that no funds may be 
used to determine the final point of discharge for the 
interceptor drain for the San Luis Unit of the Central Valley 
Project until certain conditions are met. This provision has 
been moved to Title II of the bill as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement deletes Section 505 of the House 
bill pertaining to the Buy American Act.
      The conference agreement deletes Section 506 of the House 
bill prohibiting the use of funds to drill for gas and oil in
