While most of the attention fell on the deferment of the Chemistry Metallurgy Research Replacement Facility, President Obama’s FY13 budget called for an increase in appropriation when it comes to cleanup.
The request is up $51 million from $188 million to $239 million, and will allow LANL to pursue cleanup in accordance with the consent order with the state.
The increase includes an extra $36 million to expedite the removal of above ground TRU waste and an extra $13 million to meet milestones on soil and water remediation.
The budget allocation also took two construction projects at LANL.
The TRU waste facility construction was earmarked for $24 million and the Reinvestment Project, which is in Phase II at TA-55, was slated for $8.9 billion.
