Develop new Nuclear Waste Fund funding and accounting mechanisms
Printed page 398 12. Department of Energy and Related Commissions
“Develop new NWF funding and accounting mechanisms that allow licensed nuclear operators to guarantee resources for future nuclear waste disposal while also maintaining control of those resources.”
What has happened
- Not started
No new Nuclear Waste Fund funding or accounting mechanism was developed. P.L. 119-74 appropriates $12,040,000 for nuclear waste disposal from the Fund, the same flat line as the year before, and no rulemaking, legislative proposal or policy statement on letting licensed operators guarantee and retain disposal resources was found.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
Covered by the negative search run once for all the nuclear-waste asks. The fee on nuclear generators has been set at zero since 2014 by court order, which is the background the Quote is reacting to; nothing in the window changed it.
