Nuclear Regulatory Commission federal obligations in Virginia
$106,103,963.83 in USAspending.gov obligations is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission total coded to Virginia, across 137 awards. The pair is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission plus Virginia, not a plant budget. Awarding-agency 031 and Virginia (VA) are the pair. One hundred thirty-seven records against $106,103,963.83 is a thin NRC file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. The implied mean is about $774,481 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- NRC in Virginia: $106,103,963.83 across 137 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $774,481 per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 031 × VA is not a measure of licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
- Richmond, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, and the rest of the counties share one VA place-of-performance tag.
NRC awards tagged to Virginia
Nuclear Regulatory Commission as awarding agency, Virginia as place-of-performance: 137 records summing to $106,103,963.83. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission award coded outside VA is out. An award in Virginia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, District of Columbia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A Rockville-coded award is MD even if staff commute from Northern Virginia. Awarding agency 031 is the NRC parent key. Regional offices are unpublished splits.
One hundred thirty-seven records against $106,103,963.83 is a thin NRC file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 137 as 137 licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants. The overlay Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Virginia is the both-keys table. Virginia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is the agency book without a VA filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named plants are unpublished. Assigning $106,103,963.83 to a single site is a new extract, not this join. Correlation is not causation: Virginia did not cause $106,103,963.83 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 031 × VA only.
Licensed reactors are a different series
$106,103,963.83 does not measure licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 031 and a VA place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 031 is the NRC parent key. Regional offices are unpublished splits.
Do not treat 137 awards as a census of licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Virginia federal spending or Nuclear Regulatory Commission matched $106,103,963.83 and 137, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, North Carolina, and District of Columbia NRC joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not add a Maryland NRC total into this Virginia cell. They are different place-of-performance keys.
Virginia statewide, not a Surry-versus-North Anna map
Place of performance VA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, District of Columbia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A Rockville-coded award is MD even if staff commute from Northern Virginia. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Richmond, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, and the rest of the counties share one VA stamp.
Named plants are unpublished. Assigning $106,103,963.83 to a single site is a new extract, not this join. This packet does not split $106,103,963.83 by city, county, or named facility. 137 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Thin files still record obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $106,103,963.83 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 137-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $106,103,963.83. Do not add a Maryland NRC total into this Virginia cell. They are different place-of-performance keys.
Citing the NRC–Virginia join
Cite USAspending.gov: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (agency 031) obligated $106,103,963.83 on 137 awards coded to Virginia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants. The pair is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission plus Virginia, not a plant budget.
Prefer Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Virginia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Virginia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to VA. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is the 031 parent without the VA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $106,103,963.83. A usable footnote names Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Virginia, $106,103,963.83, and 137. The compact headline $106.1 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $774,481 is $106,103,963.83 divided by 137. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
Questions
- How much has the Nuclear Regulatory Commission obligated in Virginia?
- USAspending.gov records $106,103,963.83 across 137 awards with awarding agency 031 and a Virginia tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Virginia is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $106,103,963.83.
- Is $106,103,963.83 a measure of licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants?
- No. The packet publishes $106,103,963.83 and 137 awards for agency 031 inside VA coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays. Keep both keys.
- Does 137 NRC awards mean 137 Virginia reactors?
- No. 137 is the award-record count for 031 × VA. Combined with $106,103,963.83, the average is about $774,481. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 137 is not licensed reactors, inspection counts, or named plants. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
- Where is the live NRC–Virginia table?
- Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Virginia is the overlay. Virginia federal spending and Nuclear Regulatory Commission are the parents, not addends. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $106,103,963.83. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.
USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays.
