  To require the Secretary of Energy to submit to Congress a plan to 
   ensure that all amounts accrued on the books of the United States

    hexafluoride will be used to treat and recycle depleted uranium 
                             hexafluoride.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. UNITED STATES ENRICHMENT CORPORATION.

    (a) Plan.--The Secretary of Energy shall prepare, and the President 
shall include in the budget request for fiscal year 2000, a plan and 
proposed legislation to ensure that all amounts accrued on the books of 
the United States Enrichment Corporation for the disposition of 
depleted uranium hexafluoride will be used to commence construction of, 
not later than January 31, 2004, and to operate, an onsite facility at 
each of the gaseous diffusion plants at Paducah, Kentucky, and 
Portsmouth, Ohio, to treat and recycle depleted uranium hexafluoride 
consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act.
    (b) Limitation.--Notwithstanding the privatization of the United 
States Enrichment Corporation and notwithstanding any other provision 
of law (including the repeal of chapters 22 through 26 of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2297 et seq.) made by section 3116(a)(1) 
of the United States Enrichment Corporation Privatization Act (104 
Stat. 1321-349), no amounts described in subsection (a) shall be 
withdrawn from the United States Enrichment Corporation Fund 
established by section 1308 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 
2297b-7) or the Working Capital Account established under section 1316 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2297b-15) until the date 
that is 1 year after the date on which the President submits to 
Congress the budget request for fiscal year 2000.
    (c) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
Congress should authorize appropriations during fiscal year 2000 in an 
amount sufficient to fully fund the plan described in subsection (a).

            Passed the Senate July 16, 1998.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
