Details of the budget request include:

  • Funding of $503.5 million for nuclear reactor safety, including $420.7 million for operating reactors and $82.8 million for new reactors.
  • Funding of $144.9 million for nuclear materials and waste safety.

  • Funding of $18.8 million for international activities.
  • Funding of $10 million for the University Nuclear Leadership Program.
