Nuclear energy R&D obligations in Maryland

Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration (CFDA 81.121) obligations coded to Maryland total $926,983,692 on USAspending.gov across 7 awards. Seven instruments against $927 million produce a mean of about $132.43 million per award. This page joins DOE catalog 81.121 to the MD geography tag. It is not a reactor, demonstration, or megawatt census and not cash already paid.

Key figures

  • CFDA 81.121 shows $926,983,692 in Maryland obligations on 7 awards.
  • The mean is about $132.43 million per award.
  • The catalog is Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration, not environmental cleanup.
  • Maryland is a place-of-performance tag, not a reactor, demonstration, or megawatt census.
  • Figures are obligations, not outlays.

Nuclear energy R&D tagged to Maryland

CFDA 81.121 is titled NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION. Filtered to Maryland place of performance, obligations sum to $926,983,692 on 7 awards. The national Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration hub includes every state. Maryland's spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $926,983,692 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of reactors, demonstrations, or megawatts in Baltimore, Annapolis, or Rockville.

DOE nuclear research often posts as a concentrated R&D file rather than one row per reactor. The join does not name recipients, split the Baltimore–Washington corridor and the Eastern Shore, or count reactors, demonstrations, or megawatts. Packet facts stop at $926,983,692, 7 awards, MD, and 81.121. Correlation is not causation.

81.121 is not environmental cleanup in Maryland

DOE environmental cleanup and other energy-demonstration catalogs sit on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $926,983,692 would invent a broader total than this 81.121 × MD cell contains. Facts available: Maryland, CFDA 81.121, $926,983,692, 7 awards. Recipient names, subawards, and reactor, demonstration, or megawatt counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration, not a ranking of Maryland outcomes. Dividing $926,983,692 by 7 yields about $132.43 million per award—a DOE nuclear R&D or demonstration instrument, not a typical electricity bill. Unique recipients are unpublished. 7 is not a count of reactors, demonstrations, or megawatts.

Maryland geography on the Nuclear Energy R&D tag

MD is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Baltimore, Annapolis, or Rockville can share the tag. Awards coded to Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, or West Virginia stay outside $926,983,692 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. Baltimore-region and other in-state research addresses share one MD tag. The code does not convert $927 million into a site map.

Maryland federal spending is the all-program parent. 81.121 is one row on Maryland programs. $927 million is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration in Maryland for the filtered table, CFDA 81.121 for 81.121 without a Maryland filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $926,983,692.

Reading 7 awards under $927 million

$926,983,692 ÷ 7 is about $132.43 million per award. That average is a DOE nuclear R&D or demonstration instrument, not a typical electricity bill. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 7 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 7 finished R&D awardss.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $926,983,692 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 7 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $926,983,692 without changing the join key of 81.121 and MD.

What the Nuclear Energy R&D–Maryland pair does not prove

A large 81.121 total tagged to Maryland does not measure whether a demonstration reached commercial operation, and it does not equal cleanup work. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $926,983,692 on 7 awards for Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration in Maryland.

Keep both sides of the join: Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration and Maryland, obligations only. Do not annualize $926,983,692 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 7 as a reactor, demonstration, or megawatt census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a program story.

Using the Nuclear Energy R&D–Maryland overlay

The overlay target is the Maryland × CFDA 81.121 table. Open Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration in Maryland when you want the same $926,983,692 / 7-awards cell in the site's data chrome. CFDA 81.121 drops the Maryland filter. Maryland federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Maryland programs lists other catalogs beside Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration. All spending ties is the directory of other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Maryland won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 81.121 plus MD. Obligations of $926,983,692 are not outlays. Cite Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration together with Maryland whenever you reuse $926,983,692. 7 remains an award-record count on USAspending.gov, not a person, facility, or project census.

Questions

How much nuclear energy R&D funding is obligated in Maryland?
USAspending.gov shows $926,983,692 in CFDA 81.121 obligations coded to Maryland across 7 awards. The join uses the program number and Maryland place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays. Keep Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration and Maryland together when citing $926,983,692.
Is this the same as DOE cleanup in Maryland?
No. This cell is CFDA 81.121 only. DOE environmental cleanup and other energy-demonstration catalogs are other catalogs. Mixing those numbers would invent a total larger than $926,983,692. 7 is a record count, not a reactor, demonstration, or megawatt census.
Do 7 awards mean 7 reactors?
7 is a USAspending award-record count, not a reactor, demonstration, or megawatt census. The implied mean is about $132.43 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. Obligations of $926,983,692 are not outlays. Keep Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration and Maryland together when citing $926,983,692. The overlay remains the live 81.121 × MD table on USAspending.gov.
Is $927 million Maryland's full federal energy spend?
No. $926,983,692 is only the 81.121 × Maryland cell. Other CFDA programs with Maryland place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 81.121 is not limited to Maryland. Obligations of $926,983,692 are not outlays.
