SEC. 2826. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING LAND CON-
VEYANCE, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds as follows: 
(1) The Secretary of the Army is proposing to 
convey 17.1 acres of real property in Mountain 
View, California, known as Shenandoah Square and
1279 
the existing 126 housing units on such property in 
order to raise capital to improve other military hous-
ing owned by private entities, despite significant 
military demand for affordable housing in the San 
Francisco Bay Area from personnel spanning across 
the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and 
Coast Guard. 
(2) Under the proposed conveyance, the existing 
126 housing units at Shenandoah Square would be 
demolished to allow for the construction of high-den-
sity residential housing. 
(3) Shenandoah Square is one of only 3 mili-
tary housing complexes in the San Francisco Bay 
Area and is home to many California National 
Guard personnel serving in the 129th Rescue Wing 
at Moffett Federal Air Field and civilians who per-
form mission critical work for the 129th Rescue 
Wing. 
(4) The San Francisco Bay Area is confronting 
one of the most severe affordable housing crises in 
the United States, which has led to a recruitment 
and retention crisis for the 129th Rescue Wing. 
(5) The residents of these units have expressed 
concern about their displacement from Shenandoah 
Square, as this property is located in one of the
1280 
most expensive housing markets in the country, Sil-
icon Valley, and there is great uncertainty about the 
affordability of new potential housing on the site. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the Secretary of the Army should explore all 
possible alternatives to a conveyance of Shenandoah 
Square, including subleasing the property to an entity that 
can better develop affordable housing on the property.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Department of Energy and its contrac-
tors rely to a significant extent on workers to bring 
attention to important nuclear safety concerns. 
(2) The Department of Energy, including the 
National Nuclear Security Administration, have a 
strong interest in preventing whistleblower retalia-
tion and in ensuring the work environment is condu-
cive to employees raising concerns.
1379 
(3) Retaliation against whistleblowers can lead 
to a chilled work environment in which employees do 
not feel free to raise important safety concerns. 
(4) The Comptroller General of the United 
States found in a 2016 report titled ‘‘Whistleblower 
Protections Need Strengthening’’ that the Depart-
ment of Energy had infrequently used its enforce-
ment authority to hold contractors accountable for 
unlawful retaliation, issuing only two violation no-
tices in the past 20 years. 
(5) The Comptroller General also found that 
the Department had taken limited or no action to 
hold contractors accountable for creating a chilled 
work environment. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) raising nuclear safety concerns is important 
for avoiding potentially catastrophic incidents or 
harm to workers and the public; 
(2) the Department of Energy should protect 
whistleblowers and take action against contractors 
and subcontractors that retaliate against whistle-
blowers; and 
(3) such action sends a strong signal to prevent 
or limit retaliation against whistleblowers.
1380 
(c) CIVIL PENALTIES.—The Secretary of Energy, in-
cluding by acting through the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security as appropriate, shall impose civil penalties under 
section 234 a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
U.S.C. 2282(a)), as the Secretary or the Administrator 
determines appropriate, on contractors, subcontractors, 
and suppliers for violations of the rules, regulations, or 
orders of the Department of Energy relating to nuclear 
safety and radiation protection. 
(d) CHILLED WORK ENVIRONMENT.—Not later than 
120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary shall clearly define what constitutes evidence of 
a chilled work environment with respect to employees and 
contractors of the Department making a whistleblower 
complaint under section 4602 of the Atomic Energy De-
fense Act (50 U.S.C. 2702), or any other law that may 
provide protection for disclosures of information by such 
employees or contractors, without fear of being dis-
charged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against as 
a reprisal. 
(e) NOTIFICATION.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than February 1, 
2019, and each year thereafter through 2021, the 
Secretary of Energy shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees an annual notification on
