Weapons activities.--This program includes the following activities:
Stockpile Stewardship.--This activity provides for the research,
development, and engineering activities to support the safety and
reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile, without underground
nuclear testing, through a science-based Stockpile Stewardship
program. The core stewardship program supports Stockpile Stewardship
by maintaining core competencies at the weapons laboratories and the
Nevada Test Site, and through research on enhanced safety and
reliability of the enduring stockpile and dismantlement techniques.
In addition, the core stewardship program maintains the capability
to execute an underground nuclear test if directed by the President.
Research and development on inertial confinement fusion is also
included and the transfer of nonsensitive Defense Programs' funded
technology to the private sector is promoted.
Stockpile Management.--This activity provides for the
maintenance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, capabilities to
modify or produce new weapons if required, lifetime surveillance of
the stockpile, and retirement and disposal of weapons and weapon
components. The Stockpile Management program also supports
activities that include maintenance of technical and operational
capabilities for responding to nuclear/radiological accidents and
incidents worldwide. This program also provides for nuclear
materials surveillance for storage, handling, shipping,
safeguarding, control and accountability, and disposition for
defense programs nuclear materials located at Defense Programs'
facilities.
Within the Stockpile Management Program, the Department has been
pursuing a dual track strategy to produce tritium for the Nation's
enduring nuclear weapons stockpile. It plans to select a primary and
backup option in 1998. The budget includes $157 million to pursue
the option that is selected. If the Department selects the purchase
of irradiation services from commercial light water reactors as the
primary option, it will be able to meet current requirements within
the funds available. If the Department selects accelerator
production of tritium as the primary option, it will need to seek
relief from the current target date for initiating new tritium
production or seek additional funding.
[[Page 360]]
Weapons Program Direction.--This activity provides personnel and
contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and the
administration of selected Defense Programs' missions.

Environmental Management.--The Office of Environmental Management
(EM) manages the thousands of contaminated areas and buildings, huge
waste volumes, and nuclear materials left over from the nuclear weapons
production process. In June 1996, EM began working toward a long-range
goal of completing cleanup at most sites within a decade. FY 1999
represents the first fiscal year in which the budget structure is based
on projects. This budget structure differentiates by completion dates
and end states rather than by activities performed.
The FY 1999 budget request will support the following major program
areas:
Site/Project Completion.--Includes sites and/or projects that
will be completed by 2006 at EM laboratories or other facilities
where DOE will continue to have a presence beyond the year 2006.
Examples of sites with projects included in this account are Idaho
National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho; Hanford,
Washington; and Savannah River, South Carolina.
Post 2006 Completion.--Includes projects that will continue
after 2006. Included are various projects at Hanford, Washington;
Savannah River, South Carolina; Idaho National Engineering and
Environmental Laboratory, Idaho;
[[Page 361]]
Nevada Test Site, Nevada; Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee; and the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (Carlsbad), New Mexico.
Office of Science and Technology.--Conducts technology
development activities which focus on the Department's major
environmental management issues to reduce risk to workers, the
public, and the environment, reduce cleanup costs; and/or provide
solutions that do not exist to current problems shared by multiple
sites. Includes the Environmental Science program which conducts a
targeted long-term basic research program for Environmental
Management problems to significantly reduce long-term cleanup costs
and risks to workers and the public; ``bridging the gap'' between
broad fundamental research such as that performed in DOE's Office of
Energy Research, and applied technology development which has been
historically supported by Environmental Management. In addition, the
Office is responsible for developing risk policy, requirements and
guidance to ensure that risk analysis theory and processes are
integrated into coherent decision making processes.
EM Program Direction.--Provides salaries and benefits, travel
and other contractual support costs for the Federal workforce at
Headquarters and in the field which support the Environmental
Management Program.
Activities performed include: environmental restoration, which
provides for assessments, characterization, remediation, and
decontamination and decommissioning of contaminated DOE facilities
and sites; waste management, which provides for the safe, treatment,
storage, and disposal of wastes generated by defense activities;
and, nuclear material and facility stabilization, which provides for
stabilization, safeguarding, interim storage, and stewardship of
excess nuclear materials, including spent nuclear fuel, awaiting
ultimate disposition.
EM will continue to improve the efficiency of its programs
through a variety of management and contracting strategies. In
addition to privatization efforts, emphasis will continue on the
reduction of support costs and implementation of performance-based
contracts.
Asset Management Pilot Projects.--The Asset Management Program
is designed to provide a financial return to the Federal government
by disposing of unneeded assets. Six pilot projects have been
identified for asset disposition. Revenues received in excess of the
cost of sales, leases, and disposition are returned to Treasury.

Environmental Management Privatization.--Provides funding
necessary to proceed with privatization of various DOE environmental
management projects that will treat some of DOE's most contaminated
soil and highly radioactive waste, as well as deactivate
contaminated nuclear facilities that cost excessive amounts of money
to maintain. This new approach to cleanup relies on the private
sector to construct and operate facilities or proceed with cleanup
actions on a fixed-price, fee-for-service basis. These competitively
awarded projects are expected to save approximately 30 percent or
more over the life-cycle of the projects, when compared to DOE's
traditional approach of designing, constructing and operating a
government-owned facility. Funds in this account will allow DOE to
enter into these contracts and assures private investors that funds
will be available to pay for services once the facilities are built.

Other defense activities.--This program includes the following
activities:
Nonproliferation and National Security.--The Department's
Nonproliferation and National Security activities consist of the
following areas: Nonproliferation and Verification, Research and
Development, Arms Control and Nonproliferation, Intelligence,
Nuclear Safeguards and Security, Security Investigations, Emergency
Management and Program Direction. These activities provide policy,
direction, technology development and implementation, and leadership
in national and international efforts to reduce the danger to U.S.
national security posed by weapons of mass destruction. Key mission
areas are: (1) preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction
materials, technology, and expertise; (2) detecting the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction world wide; (3)
reversing the proliferation of nuclear weapons capabilities; and (4)
responding to weapons of mass destruction emergencies.
Fissile Materials Disposition.--The Fissile Materials
Disposition Program is responsible for defining and implement
[[Page 363]]
ing a path forward for the verifiable storage and disposition of
U.S. weapons-usable fissile material (highly enriched uranium and
plutonium) and for providing technical support for efforts to attain
reciprocal actions for the disposition of surplus Russian plutonium.
The Department is preparing to dispose of surplus weapons highly
enriched uranium by blending it down to low enriched uranium for use
as commercial reactor fuel. The Department is pursuing a hybrid
plutonium disposition strategy that allows for immobilization of
surplus plutonium with ceramic material surrounded by vitrified high
level waste, and burning of surplus plutonium as mixed oxide (MOX)
fuel in existing domestic commercial reactors. Over the next two
years, DOE will complete site-specific environmental reviews and
detailed cost proposals for both disposition approaches; make a
Record of Decision on site(s) for disposition facilities; begin
detailed design of two of the three disposition facilities; and
complete tests, process development and technology demonstrations
required for plutonium disposition. Near term efforts also involve
continued efforts to consolidate the storage of weapons-usable
fissile materials, pending disposition; and development of a pilot
scale plutonium conversion system in Russia. The budget includes $28
million to begin design of a MOX fuel fabrication facility in the
United States. The Administration will not construct new facilities
for disposition of U.S. plutonium unless there is significant
progress on plans for plutonium disposition in Russia.
Worker and Community Transition.--This program provides for the
development and implementation of plans under section 3161 of the
National Defense Authorization Act of 1993, to provide options to
assist workers affected by workforce restructuring including
preference in hiring, outplacement assistance, relocation
assistance, and incentives for early retirement or separation. This
program also provides impact assistance to local communities, as
well as disposition of assets excess to current Department needs.
Naval Reactors.--This program performs the design, development,
and testing necessary to provide the Navy with safe, militarily
effective nuclear propulsion plants in keeping with the Nation's
nuclear-powered fleet defense requirements. During 1999, the program
expects to reach 4,900 cumulative reactor-years of safe operation,
and will continue to support and improve operating reactors and
plant components. In addition, the program will continue to develop
nuclear reactor plant components and systems for the Navy's new
attack submarine, procure equipment needs for development and
testing activities, and maintain or shut down aging facilities as
appropriate.
International Nuclear Safety and Security.--The International
Nuclear Safety Program reflects the Department's commitment to
improve the safety of Soviet-designed nuclear reactors abroad. Since
1992, DOE has led the U.S. Government's effort to reduce the health
and environmental threats posed by the continued operation of aging
nuclear reactors in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries in the
region. The request supports improvements in management and
operational safety, engineering and technology upgrades, and
encourages development of a U.S. equivalent nuclear safety culture.
Environment, safety and health (Defense).--The Office of
Environment, Safety and Health is a corporate resource that provides
Departmental leadership and management to protect the workers,
public, and environment. The programs in the Other Defense
Activities are Oversight, Health Studies, and Radiation Effects
Research Foundation support as well as Program Direction.
