§18752 Property Interests Relating to Certain Projects and Protection of Information Relating to Certain Agreements

Summary

Lets the Secretary assign fee title or other ownership rights that the Secretary got under agreements for certain federally funded advanced nuclear reactor projects to any entity, including the United States. "Property interest" means real or personal property as defined in 2 CFR 200.1 (as of November 15, 2021). It does not include intellectual property created with the project funding. "Advanced nuclear reactor" is defined in section 16271(b) of this title. Qualifying projects include those funded under the Department’s funding opportunity DE–FOA–0002271 (including ones funded as of November 15, 2021); projects paid for using amounts made available for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program under the "Nuclear Energy" heading in title III of division C of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116–94; 133 Stat. 2670); any other project funded under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program; or any federally funded project about advanced nuclear reactors under a development-and-demonstration program. When the Secretary assigns fee title or other ownership, the assignment is retroactive to the date the project first received the federal funding described above.
