    Dear Senator Leahy%

         Subject: iQuestions Regarding Clinch River Breeder
                   Reactor Project Funding and Costsi
                   (GAO/EMD-82-123)

         On August 27, 1982, you requested answers for two specific
    questions concerning the Clinch River Breeder Reactor (CRBR)
    demonstration project. Your questions and our answers are
    discussed below.

    IF NO FUNDS ARE APPROPRIATED UNDER THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION
    WHICH IS EXPECTED BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER, WILL ANY CARRYOVER
    FUNDS BE AVAILABLE FOR SITE PREPARATION AND RELATED ACTIVITIES?

         As of August 31, 1982, the Department of Energy (DOE) records
    show $487,000 in unobligated funds that are available for use on
    any aspect of the CRBR demonstration project. DOE officials,
    though, expect most of these funds to be obligated by the end of
    fiscal year 1982. These officials cautioned however, that the
    unobligated amount of funds as of August 31, 1982, was a pre-
    liminary assessment and could change when their final monthly
    financial reports are prepared.

          In addition to the unobligated DOE funds, the CRBR project
    has available approximately $40 million in funds contributed by
    utility companies participating in the project. According to
    CRBR officials, these funds could possibly be used for site prep-
    aration and related activities with the approval of the Project
    Management Corporation. I/

          CRBR project officials stated that DOE funding for the
     project is no-year funding, i.e., the funds are available until



     I/Project Management Corporation is a non-profit corporation
       which represents the interests of the utilities in the CRBR
       project.
                                                               (305197)
