STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
Senate Amendment to H.R. 5895 — Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2019

Department of Energy
Plutonium Disposition. The Administration greatly appreciates the Committee’s support for terminating the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility project and pursuing a plutonium disposition alternative. The MOX project is billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule. Terminating MOX and pursuing a less expensive and faster solution for disposing of surplus plutonium would save tens of billions of dollars going forward.
