requires DOE to reimburse eligible
uranium and thorium licensees for
certain costs of decontamination,

was extracted or concentrated from ores
processed primarily for their source
material contents. To be reimbursable,
costs of remedial action must be for
work that is necessary to comply with
applicable requirements of the Uranium
Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of
1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) or, where
appropriate, with requirements
established by a State pursuant to a
discontinuance agreement under section
274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954
(42 U.S.C. 2021). Claims for
reimbursement must be supported by
reasonable documentation as
determined by DOE in accordance with
10 CFR part 765. Funds for

Decontamination and Decommissioning
Fund established at the Department of
Treasury pursuant to section 1801 of the

2297g). Payment or obligation of funds
shall be subject to the requirements of
the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C.
1341).

Law 102–486, 106 Stat. 2776 (42 U.S.C.
