Request
($000)
The increase is primarily to provide funds to complete the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) mandated closure of
Building 419 at LLNL Livermore Site in FY 2012. In addition, there
are minor increases in compliance requirements at LLNL Site 300 and
Pantex associated with respective Federal Facility Agreements. +3,017
Nuclear Materials Integration
The net decrease is consistent with program plans, and reflects a ramp
down of activities at LLNL associated with the removal of security
category I/II special nuclear material which is planned for completion
by the end of FY 2012; a planned decrease for the treatment and
packaging of NNSA materials at the Idaho National Laboratory, a
decrease in other inactive actinide programs, and an increase reflecting
the transfer of funding for the Nuclear Materials Management and
Safeguards System. -8,164
Energy Modernization and Investment Program
The increase provides funds to execute priority EMIP projects that will
save on energy usage and cost, and contribute towards the
achievement of NNSA's mandated sustainability and energy
conservation goals and includes funding for a conceptual design report
on alternative strategies that will satisfy the Mission Requirements for
the proposed path forward on the NNSA Service Center Facility. +18,671
