Nuclear Regulatory Commission federal obligations

$1.22 billion on 1,579 NRC awards

The precise total is $1,220,955,444.13. Divided by 1,579 awards, the implied mean is about $773,000 per award. Research, technical-support, and administrative contracts can occupy those rows; this packet does not split the 1,579 count by office, so reactor-oversight versus materials-license shares are not stated here.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year support vehicles can remain open, so $1,220,955,444.13 is not a single inspection year’s cash. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 1,579 awards at a mean near $773,000 describe a compact regulator file of technical-support and administrative contracts. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year support vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

CGAC 031 as the awarding-agency identifier

SpendingVault keys the NRC to /agencies/031/. CGAC 031 is the USAspending awarding-agency code. The $1,220,955,444.13 total and 1,579 award count roll up rows carrying that identifier. The award count is not a count of reactors, materials licenses, or inspections.

Award obligations versus fee-based regulation

NRC recovers much of its budget through licensee fees, a scorekeeping path separate from this USAspending rollup. This hub cites $1,220,955,444.13 in obligations through FY 2026 on 1,579 awards. Fee collections and inspection findings are not in the packet. Outlays are omitted.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that reading is wrong. Licensee-fee collections, reactor counts, materials licenses, inspection findings, or office splits belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Multi-year support vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

State geography for NRC awards

Place-of-performance may follow headquarters, regional offices, and national-lab support contractors. The state table is a coding view of the 1,579 awards that sum to $1,220,955,444.13 through FY 2026, not a map of operating reactors.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, headquarters, regional offices, and national-lab support contractors can fill cells that are not plant locations. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Read CGAC 031 as an awarding-agency rollup, not a reactor map.

NRC on the all-agencies list

Compare $1,220,955,444.13 and 1,579 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract. The hub does not advise licensees and does not grade plant safety.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 1,579 awards at a mean near $773,000 describe a compact regulator file of technical-support and administrative contracts. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Read CGAC 031 as an awarding-agency rollup, not a reactor map.

NRC obligations versus fee-based regulation

NRC recovers much of its budget through licensee fees, a path separate from this USAspending rollup. The packet facts are $1,220,955,444.13, 1,579 awards, CGAC 031, and FY 2026. Fee collections are not cited. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 1,579 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 031. Until that refresh, the documented book is 1220955444.13 in obligations. That figure is not a performance score, not an enacted one-year appropriation, and not a recommendation to apply for funds. It is the award-file rollup this packet carries through FY 2026.

The 1,579 count is not a reactor census. Rank the NRC only against other obligation totals from this extract. The state table is award coding, not a map of operating plants. CGAC 031 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/031/. The award population is 1,579 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays. CGAC 031 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/031/. The award population is 1,579 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays.

Questions

How much has the NRC obligated on USAspending through FY 2026?

Nuclear Regulatory Commission records (CGAC 031) sum to $1,220,955,444.13 across 1,579 awards in this extract. That figure is an obligation total from USAspending.gov through fiscal year 2026, not a licensee-fee collection and not a reactor census.

What is CGAC 031?

CGAC 031 is the USAspending awarding-agency code for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. SpendingVault’s NRC hub uses that code. The $1,220,955,444.13 obligation total and 1,579 award count roll up rows carrying 031 through FY 2026.

Does the award count include every technical-support contract?

Only if those actions appear as USAspending rows tagged to awarding-agency 031 in this extract. The published totals are $1,220,955,444.13 and 1,579 awards through FY 2026. Office-level splits are not in this packet.

Where can I see NRC spending by state?

The state table from the CGAC 031 agency page uses place-of-performance fields on the same obligation extract. Geography rows still sit under $1,220,955,444.13 and 1,579 awards through FY 2026.
