|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Acceleration of Manufacturing.— The Administrator shall require the nuclear security enterprise to accelerate the modernization of manufacturing processes for depleted uranium by 2030 so that the nuclear security enterprise—
|
||
|
||
(1) demonstrates bulk cold hearth melting of depleted uranium alloys to augment existing capabilities on an operational basis for war reserve components;
|
||
|
||
(2) manufactures, on a repeatable and ongoing basis, war reserve depleted uranium alloy components using net shape casting;
|
||
|
||
(3) demonstrates, if possible, a production facility to conduct routine operations for manufacturing depleted uranium alloy components outside of the current perimeter security fencing of the Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and
|
||
|
||
(4) has available high purity depleted uranium for the production of war reserve components.
|
||
|
||
(b) Annual Briefing.— Not later than March 31, 2023, and annually thereafter through 2030, the Administrator shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on—
|
||
|
||
(1) progress made in carrying out subsection (a);
|
||
|
||
(2) the cost of activities conducted under such subsection during the preceding fiscal year; and
|
||
|
||
(3) the ability of the nuclear security enterprise to convert depleted uranium fluoride hexafluoride to depleted uranium tetrafluoride.
