; and (E) $63,814,078 for fiscal year 2025. . (b) Fuel cycle research and development Section 953 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16273 ) is amended to read as follows: 953. Fuel cycle research, development, demonstration, and commercial application (a) High-Assay, low-Enriched uranium research, development, demonstration, and commercial application for advanced nuclear reactors (1) Definitions In this section: (A) High-assay, low-enriched uranium The term high-assay, low-enriched uranium means uranium with an assay greater than 5 weight percent, but less than 20 weight percent, of the uranium-235 isotope. (B) High-enriched uranium The term high-enriched uranium means uranium with an assay of 20 weight percent or more of the uranium-235 isotope. (2) Program (A) Establishment Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall establish a program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial application to make available high-assay, low-enriched uranium for use in civilian advanced nuclear reactors. (B) Nuclear fuel ownership Uranium made available under this subsection shall remain the property of the Department, which shall be responsible for the storage, use, and disposition of all radioactive waste created by the irradiation, processing, or purification of such uranium, and shall not be deemed to be a sale or transfer of uranium subject to sections 3112 and 3113 of the USEC Privatization Act ( 42 U.S.C. 2297h–10 and 42 USC 2297h–11). (C) Goal In carrying out the program under this subsection, the Secretary shall demonstrate the capability to produce high-assay, low-enriched uranium, with the goal of having the capability of producing amounts needed to provide a reliable and available supply for advanced nuclear reactors by December 31, 2025. (D) Factors for consideration In carrying out the program under this subsection, the Secretary shall take into consideration options for providing high-assay, low-enriched uranium for use in civilian advanced
