# 10 U.S.C. § 6285 - Life-cycle cost estimates of certain atomic energy defense capital assets
## Text
(a) In General.— The Secretary of Energy shall ensure that an independent life-cycle cost estimate under Department of Energy Order 413.3B (relating to program management and project management for the acquisition of capital assets), or a successor order, of each capital asset described in subsection (b) is conducted before the asset achieves critical decision 2 in the acquisition process.
(b) Capital Assets Described.— A capital asset described in this subsection is an atomic energy defense capital asset—
(1) the total project cost of which exceeds $100,000,000; and
(2) the purpose of which is to perform a limited-life, single-purpose mission.
(c) Independent Defined.— For purposes of subsection (a), the term “independent”, with respect to a life-cycle cost estimate of a capital asset, means that the life-cycle cost estimate is prepared by an organization independent of the project sponsor, using the same detailed technical and procurement information as the sponsor, to determine if the life-cycle cost estimate of the sponsor is accurate and reasonable.
(Added Pub. L. 11960, div. C, title XXXI, § 3111(a), Dec. 18, 2025, 139 Stat. 1434.)
