House panel boosts NRC funding for reactor reviews in FY-07

摘要

NRC's budget would get a $50 million boost on top of its $776.6 million fiscal 2007 request under a House Appropriations panel recommendation approved last week. The NRC would receive approval to collect an additional $40 million from its licensees for work on license application reviews for new reactors and $10 million from DOE for oversight of the Hanford vitrification plant.
