activities by 1998.
(c) UNITED STATES SITE SELECTION.—The Sec-
retary shall—
(1) immediately initiate a process for identify-
ing candidate sites within the United States which
meet the site requirements for the construction and
operation of ITER; and
(2) propose within 90 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act a process for selection of a site
within the United States by June, 1996, if the Unit-
ed States is selected as the host country for ITER
pursuant to the international agreement described in
subsection (b).
(d) FINAL COST ESTIMATE.—The Secretary shall
provide to Congress within 90 days following the comple-
tion of site-specific design activities a detailed estimate of
the final projected total cost and cost to the United States
of the construction and operation of ITER based on final
site-specific engineering and construction designs.
SEC. 8. REPORTS AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) CONTINGENCY PLAN.—Within 120 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit
to Congress a report on the feasibility of conducting a par-
allel design effort on the Tokamak Physics Experiment to
augment the capabilities of the Tokamak Physics Experi-
ment in the event that an international agreement cannot
be reached on the site selection or construction of ITER.
(b) PROGRAM REPORT.—Within 180 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, and biennially thereafter,
the Secretary shall prepare and submit to the Congress
a report on the Fusion Energy Research Program and the
progress it has made in meeting the goals and require-
ments of this Act.
(c) COORDINATION WITH DEFENSE FUSION RE-
SEARCH PROGRAMS.—(1) The Secretary shall, to the max-
imum extent practicable, coordinate the research and de-
velopment activities of the civilian Inertial Fusion Energy
Program and the defense Inertial Confinement Fusion
Program to maximize the benefits to both programs.
(2) Within 120 days after the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of De-
fense, shall submit a report to Congress with recommenda-
tions for sharing budget and other resources in order to
enhance the civilian energy applications of the defense In-
ertial Confinement Fusion Program.
(d) REPEAL.—Section 2114 of the Energy Policy Act
of 1992 (Public Law 102–486) is repealed.
SEC. 9. UNIVERSITY RADIATION SCIENCE AND TECH-
NOLOGY PROGRAM.
The Secretary shall combine the Nuclear Engineering
Research and Education Program, the University Re-
search Reactor Program, and the University Reactor Fuel
Assistance Program to form a new University Radiation
Science and Technology Program to be included as a sepa-
rate and distinct part of the University and Science Edu-
cation Program of the Department.
SEC. 10. FUSION ENERGY FACILITY FUND.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES.—The Secretary shall
establish a fee, payable by persons who sell electricity for
ultimate consumption, at a rate of 0.1 mills per kilowatt
hour.
(b) COLLECTION.—The Secretary shall establish pro-
cedures for the collection of such fees. The Secretary may
use the services of any Federal, State, or local agency or
instrumentality to collect such fees, and may reimburse
such agency or instrumentality a reasonable amount for
such services.
(c) USE OF FUNDS.—Funds received under this sec-
tion shall be deposited in a separate account in the Treas-
ury, and shall be used, to the extent provided in advance
in appropriation Acts, only for the design, engineering,
and construction of ITER, facilities related to ITER (in-
cluding a materials testing facility and a blanket testing
facility) and the Tokamak Physics Experiment.
(d) TERMINATION OF FEES.—The authority to as-
sess and collect fees under this section shall expire at the
earlier of—
(1) the achievement of a balance in the account
established under subsection (c) sufficient in the
judgment of the Secretary to satisfy the obligations
of the United States in the design, engineering, and
construction described in subsection (c); or
(2) the completion of ITER construction.
SEC. 11. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
(a) FUSION ENERGY RESEARCH PROGRAM.—There
are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for car-
rying out the Fusion Energy Research Program
$380,000,000 for fiscal 1995, $425,000,000 for fiscal
year 1996, $475,000,000 for fiscal year 1997, and such
sums as may be necessary thereafter.
(b) ALTERNATIVE FUSION RESEARCH.—From the
sums authorized in subsection (a), there are authorized
to be appropriated to the Secretary for carrying out the
Alternative Fusion Research Program under section
5(c)(2), $26,000,000 for fiscal year 1995, $31,000,000 for
fiscal year 1996, $31,000,000 for fiscal year 1997, and
such sums as may be necessary thereafter.
(c) TOKAMAK PHYSICS EXPERIMENT.—The total
amount to be appropriated for the complete design, devel-
opment, and construction of the Tokamak Physics Experi-
ment shall not exceed $700,000,000.
(d) UNIVERSITY RADIATION SCIENCE AND TECH-
NOLOGY PROGRAM.—There are authorized to be appro-
priated to the Secretary for carrying out the University
