💰Update on FY 2025 Reimbursement for Uranium and Thorium Sites
Update on Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial Action at Uranium and Thorium Processing Sites
Summary
This Notice announces the Department of Energy's (DOE) acceptance of claims in FY 2025 from eligible uranium and thorium processing site licensees for reimbursement under Title X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The FY 2025 DOE Office of Environmental Management's Congressional Budget Request included $5 million for the Title X Uranium and Thorium Reimbursement Program; however, the Congressional appropriation for FY 2025 is zero dollars ($0.00). Thus, the claims received in FY 2024 and claims received in FY 2025 cannot be reimbursed until there is a new appropriation from Congress.

The document outlines financial assistance available through the Title X Uranium and Thorium Reimbursement Program. While it indicates a Congressional appropriation of $0 for FY 2025, businesses can still submit claims for reimbursement. The implications may include uncertainty in funding but also the opportunity to seek recompensation for eligible remediation costs.
