Energy Dept Takes Uranium Cleanup Claims But No Money Yet
Published Date: 7/14/2025
Notice
Summary
The Department of Energy is ready to accept reimbursement claims in 2025 from uranium and thorium site license holders for cleanup costs. But here’s the catch: Congress hasn’t approved any money yet, so no payments can be made until funding is secured. If you’re involved, get your claims in, but be patient for the cash!

Cleanup Claims Accepted; Payments Delayed
If you hold a uranium or thorium processing site license, the Department of Energy will accept reimbursement claims in FY 2025 under Title X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. DOE requested $5,000,000 for the program in its FY 2025 budget, but Congress appropriated $0.00, so claims received in FY 2024 and FY 2025 cannot be paid until a new appropriation is made by Congress.
