Subtitle E—Nuclear Energy 
Programs 
SEC. 946. DEFINITION. 
In this subtitle, the term ‘‘junior faculty’’ means a 
faculty member who was awarded a doctorate less than 
10 years before receipt of an award from the grant pro-
gram described in section 949(b)(2). 
SEC. 947. PROGRAMS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall conduct pro-
grams of civilian nuclear energy research, development, 
demonstration, and commercial application, including ac-
tivities described in this subtitle. Programs under this sub-
title shall be focused on—
(1) enhancing nuclear power’s viability as part 
of the United States energy portfolio; 
(2) providing the technical means to reduce the 
likelihood of nuclear proliferation; 
(3) maintaining a cadre of nuclear scientists 
and engineers; 
(4) maintaining National Laboratory and uni-
versity nuclear programs, including their infrastruc-
ture;
444
(5) supporting both individual researchers and 
multidisciplinary teams of researchers to pioneer 
new approaches in nuclear energy, science, and tech-
nology; 
(6) developing, planning, constructing, acquir-
ing, and operating special equipment and facilities 
for the use of researchers; 
(7) supporting technology transfer and other 
appropriate activities to assist the nuclear energy in-
dustry, and other users of nuclear science and engi-
neering, including activities addressing reliability, 
availability, productivity, component aging, safety, 
and security of nuclear power plants; and 
(8) reducing the environmental impact of nu-
clear energy-related activities. 
(b) GOALS.—
(1) INITIAL
GOALS.—In accordance with the 
performance plan and report requirements in section 
4 of the Government Performance Results Act of 
1993, the Secretary shall transmit to the Congress, 
along with the President’s annual budget request for 
fiscal year 2007, a report containing outcome meas-
ures with explicitly stated cost and performance 
baselines. The measures shall specify performance 
goals, with quantifiable 5-year cost improvement and
445
reliability, availability, productivity, and component 
aging target levels for a wide range of nuclear en-
ergy technologies, and any other such goals the Sec-
retary considers appropriate. 
(2) SUBSEQUENT
TRANSMITTALS.—The Sec-
retary shall transmit to the Congress, along with the 
President’s annual budget request for each fiscal 
year after 2007, a report containing—
(A) a description, including quantitative 
analysis, of progress in achieving performance 
goals transmitted under paragraph (1), as com-
pared to the baselines transmitted under para-
graph (1); and 
(B) any amendments to such goals. 
(c) PUBLIC INPUT.—The Secretary shall consider ad-
vice from industry, universities, and other interested par-
ties through seeking comments in the Federal Register 
and other means before transmitting each report under 
subsection (b).
