Yesterday, Appropriators released a two minibus package of FY 2020
measures for House passage today. Senate leadership will then plan to
hold votes to clear the funding legislation for Trump's signature before
the Friday funding deadline.
Division C of the Appropriations minibus outlines NE funding
levels. NE provides $1.49B, an increase of $167M above the FY 2019 level
and $669M above the request.
Nuclear Energy University Programs
(NEUP) - DOE has allocated up to 20 percent of funds appropriated to NE
research and development programs to fund NEUP. Furthermore, DOE is
directed to continue this practice, with no less than $40M for R&D
activities performed at U.S. colleges and universities. DOE is also
directed to provide both House and Senate Appropriations Committees
quarterly briefings on the status of NEUP and the university work being
funded.
