Summary

The Secretary of Energy must send the Senate and House Armed Services Committees a report at least 120 days before a Department of Energy defense nuclear facility stops all production and processing. The report must explain what training and job‑placement help employees will need to get work in the facility’s defense environmental cleanup work and what the contractor who runs the facility should do to retrain and place its workers. When production ends permanently, the Secretary must send Congress another report with three things: a complete survey of the facility’s environmental problems; budget‑quality estimates showing the cost of the defense cleanup work; and a discussion of the planned cleanup schedule.
