Request
In FY 2012, the ongoing inactive actinides program will continue to support the treatment,
consolidation and disposition of NNSA special nuclear material (SNM) that is no longer required to
support the nuclear security enterprise mission. The FY 2012 activities will include the ongoing
treatment and disposition of NNSA materials currently stored at non-NNSA sites including the
Idaho National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Support will be provided to Department-level planning activities including the identification of
material sets with multiple program owners where a centralized and coordinated effort would be
the most efficient and effective means of consolidating and dispositioning the material.
Consistent with this effort, the Department has transferred programmatic and operational
responsibility for the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS) from the
Office of Health, Safety and Security to the NNSA's Office of Nuclear Materials Integration.
NMMSS, co-managed and funded with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is the national
system for tracking and accounting for source and special nuclear material that is domestically
held and for tracking imports and exports of these materials to and from the U.S. The Department
of Energy share of NMMSS funding requirements of $2,221,000 is included in the NMI
subprogram starting in FY 2012.
Energy Modernization and Investment Program 0 6,651 25,322
The Energy Modernization and Investment Program (EMIP) implements specific sustainability and
energy-savings projects across the nuclear security enterprise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
improve energy and water efficiency of enduring assets, improve metering, and support High-
Performance Sustainable Building (HPSB) compliance. The EMIP directly supports Executive
Order 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management,
Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy and Economic Performance,
DOE orders, and regulatory requirements. The EMIP is a key component of NNSA’s energy
management strategy to promote sustainability and reduce energy usage and therefore costs, and
complements other funding mechanisms.
The FY 2012 EMIP funding supports priority energy conservation projects that will reduce energy
consumption enhance energy independence and security and provide life-cycle cost effective
benefits. Projects that provide the most significant contribution towards achievement of NNSA’s
energy goals and result in cost savings will be selected from the EMIP Integrated Prioritized
Project List (IPPL) for execution. Example projects include: energy efficient upgrades to existing
facility and utility systems; water conservation measures; installation of advanced meters; and
high-efficiency new systems.
