(1) provide funds to remove potential nuclear 
weapons materials from vulnerable sites, including 
funds to cover the costs of— 
(A) transporting such materials from such 
sites to secure facilities; 
(B) providing interim security upgrades for 
such materials pending their removal from their 
current sites; 
(C) managing such materials after their 
arrival at secure facilities; 
(D) purchasing such materials; 
(E) converting such sites to the use of low- 
enriched uranium fuels; 
(F) assisting in the closure and decommis-
sioning of such sites; and 
(G) providing incentives to facilitate the 
removal of such materials from vulnerable fa-
cilities; 
(2) arrange for the shipment of potential nu-
clear weapons materials to the United States, or to 
other countries willing to accept such materials and 
able to provide high levels of security for such mate-
rials, and dispose of such materials, in order to en-
sure that United States national security objectives
are accomplished as quickly and effectively as pos-
sible; and 
(3) provide funds to upgrade security and ac-
counting at sites where, as determined by the Sec-
retary, potential nuclear weapons materials will re-
main for an extended period in order to ensure that 
such materials are secure against plausible potential 
threats, and will remain so in the future. 
(e) REPORT.—(1) Not later than 30 days after the 
submittal to Congress of the budget of the President for 
fiscal year 2006 pursuant to section 1105(a) of title 31, 
United States Code, the Secretary of Energy, in coordina-
tion with other relevant Federal Government and inter-
national agencies, shall submit to Congress a report that 
includes the following: 
(A) A list of the sites determined by the Task 
Force to be of the highest priorities for removal of 
potential nuclear weapons materials, based on the 
quantity and attractiveness of such materials at such 
sites and the risk of theft or diversion of such mate-
rials for weapons purposes. 
(B) An inventory of all sites worldwide where 
highly-enriched uranium or separated plutonium is 
located, including, to the extent practicable, a 
prioritized assessment of the terrorism and prolifera-
tion risk posed by such materials at each such site, 
based on the quantity of such materials, the 
attractiveness of such materials for use in nuclear 
weapons, the current level of security and accounting 
for such materials, and the level of threat (including 
the effects of terrorist or criminal activity and the 
pay and morale of personnel and guards) in the 
country or region where such sites are located. 
(C) A strategic plan, including measurable mile-
stones and metrics, for accomplishing the mission of 
the Task Force under this section. 
(D) An estimate of the funds required to com-
plete the mission of the Task Force under this sec-
tion, set forth by year until anticipated completion 
of the mission. 
(E) The recommendations of the Secretary on 
whether any further legislative actions or inter-
national agreements are necessary to facilitate the 
accomplishment of the mission of the Task Force. 
(F) Such other information on the status of ac-
tivities under this section as the Secretary considers 
appropriate. 
(2) The report shall be submitted in unclassified 
form, but may include a classified annex.
(f) POTENTIAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS MATERIAL DE-
FINED.—In this section, the term ‘‘potential nuclear weap-
ons material’’ means plutonium, highly-enriched uranium, 
or other material capable of sustaining an explosive nu-
clear chain reaction, including irradiated materials if the 
radiation field from such materials is not sufficient to pre-
vent the theft and use of such materials for an explosive 
nuclear chain reaction. 
(g) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is 
authorized to be appropriated to the Department of En-
ergy for fiscal year 2005 for activities of the National Nu-
clear Security Administration in carrying out programs 
necessary for national security for purposes of defense nu-
clear nonproliferation activities, $40,000,000 to carry out 
this section.
