What it does
The bill would reauthorize the West Valley demonstration project by increasing its annual funding authorization from $75 million to $150 million for fiscal years 2027 through 2037. It amends Section 3(a) of the West Valley Demonstration Project Act to reflect this funding increase. The change affects the Department of Energy’s cleanup and demonstration efforts at the West Valley site in New York, extending federal support for nuclear waste remediation activities over the next decade. The bill was introduced by Senators Gillibrand and Schumer and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
