Nuclear Energy R&D awarded by Department of Energy

$3,684,681,280.77 in USAspending.gov obligations sit on Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration (CFDA 81.121) where the awarding agency is Department of Energy (code 089), across 377 awards. NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION is CFDA 81.121; DOE is agency 089. This page is that program–agency join, not a reactor-license docket, a megawatt-capacity table, or a national-lab ranking. Obligations are not outlays.

Key figures

  • Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration via Department of Energy: $3,684,681,280.77 in USAspending obligations (CFDA 81.121, agency 089).
  • Join obligations of $3,684,681,280.77 equal the CFDA program total of $3,684,681,280.77.
  • The table lists 377 awards, not a census of reactors.
  • The join is Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration × Department of Energy, not a nuclear-plant ranking or a named vendor roster.
  • Figures are obligations, not outlays.

Nuclear Energy R&D overlapping DOE — CFDA 81.121

The pair is Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration × Department of Energy. $3,684,681,280.77 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 81.121 and awarding-agency 089. The join obligation $3,684,681,280.77 equals the CFDA program total of $3,684,681,280.77 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Nuclear Energy R&D slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Energy caused Nuclear Energy R&D activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a nuclear-plant ranking or a named vendor roster.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Energy. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $3,684,681,280.77 as obligations on the Nuclear Energy R&D–DOE pair.

CFDA 81.121 as the nuclear energy R&D side

CFDA 81.121 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $3,684,681,280.77. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Energy slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $3,684,681,280.77 as cash Treasury already sent. Labs, vendors, and reactor projects are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 81.121 at /programs/81.121/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 81.121 awarded by agency 089 only.

Agency 089, Department of Energy

Department of Energy is awarding-agency 089 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Energy at /agencies/089/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Nuclear Energy R&D. Reading $3,684,681,280.77 as Department of Energy’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $3,684,681,280.77. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts.

377 awards as a CFDA table, not a reactor census

The extract lists 377 awards on the Nuclear Energy R&D × Department of Energy table. That is an award-record count, not a census of reactors. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $3,684,681,280.77 by 377 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Capacity rankings this nuclear–DOE join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $3,684,681,280.77 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Nuclear Energy R&D over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Energy specialized in Nuclear Energy R&D because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $3,684,681,280.77 labeled as Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration obligations awarded by Department of Energy.

Hubs for CFDA 81.121 × agency 089

Open /programs/81.121/ for CFDA 81.121, /agencies/089/ for Department of Energy, /programs/ (All programs) for other catalog lines, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for other pairs. None of those links convert this cell into a nuclear-plant ranking or a named vendor roster, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: Nuclear Energy Research, Development And Demonstration and Department of Energy, $3,684,681,280.77, USAspending.gov, obligations only.
