All: I confirmed today on the monthly CD telecon that the carryover strategy is the following: avoid it. If it can't be avoided, minimize it, in which case you should let me know well in advance so I can justify it and make sure the money doesn't disappear. Any questions, please ask. -andrew

29 Jun '09

Everyone, More on the House marks from Congressman Simpson of Idaho. I am not sure there is much news here, but I thought you would appreciate getting the full picture (at least as much as I have). Regards, Alex ________________________________ From: Sandra B Knoll [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 3:54 PM To: Aljayoushi, Jihad Subject: Simpson House Info 7. Congressional update: INL increases sought under House funding bill >From Communications & Public Affairs: WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson, a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, today announced the inclusion of substantial increases in funding for Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Cleanup Project as part of legislation funding the Department of Energy in Fiscal Year 2010. The legislation was approved this morning by the Subcommittee. "Thanks to the hard work and dedication of those who work at INL, substantial new resources are headed Idaho's way to improve facilities, expand reactor development, continue fuel cycle research, and push the development of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies," said Simpson. "The new funding in this bill can only be seen as a complete endorsement by Congress of the leadership role INL is playing in our nation's nuclear renaissance. I am grateful to my colleagues on the Subcommittee, Democrat and Republican alike, for demonstrating such strong support for nuclear energy and the work being done here in Idaho." Among its many provisions, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill includes: * A $54.03 million increase over the current fiscal year for Idaho National Laboratory facilities. Total Idaho Facilities Management funding is targeted at $194.03 million. The additional funding is available for a variety of uses including new buildings, renovation of existing buildings, equipment purchases, and the Advanced Test Reactor's operation as a National Scientific User Facility. * A $76 million increase over the current fiscal year for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) bringing total funding to $245 million. The NGNP is designed to produce both electricity and heat for industrial applications. INL is the Department of Energy's lead laboratory on research and development of the NGNP. * $10 million for INL's Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program. The Program focuses on maintenance and life extension of our nation's current fleet of nuclear reactors. * A combined total of $19.34 million is provided for INL's collaboration with NASA on the supply of energy sources for deep space missions. * $1 million for equipment purchases at the Center for Advanced Energy Studies at INL. * $475 million for cleanup activities at INL, which is level funding with the current fiscal year but a $69 million increase over President Obama's requested amount. The Energy and Water Development bill is expected to be considered in full committee in two weeks and by the full House sometime in July. _________________________ Sandy Knoll Business Manager AFCI Technical Integration Office Idaho National Laboratory Voice: 208-526-3136 Fax: 208-526-2930 _________________________
