The bill provides $25.8 B for the DOE as a whole, compared to the President's request level of $29.5 B. The DOE Office of Science will receive $4.9 B, compared to the President's request level of $5.4 B and the FY 2011 appropriation of $4.8 B. Within DOE, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will receive $11 B, compared to the President's request level of $11.7 B and its FY 2011 appropriation of $10.5 B. The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES) is within the Office of Science and the Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Program is within NNSA.

The bill provides OFES with $402 M, compared with the President's request of $400 M and the FY 2011 appropriation of $376 M. The report accompanying the bill states:

"The conference agreement provides $402,177,000 for Fusion Energy Sciences, of which not more than $105,000,000 is for U.S. contributions to ITER. The conference agreement includes $24,741,000 for the High Energy Density Laboratory Plasma Program, of which $12,000,000 is to be evenly distributed among heavy-ion fusion, laser-driven fusion and magneto-inertial fusion. The conference agreement includes direction for the submission of a 10--year fusion plan as provided by both the House and Senate."

The bill provides the ICF program with $476 M, the same as the President's request level. The report accompanying the bill states:

"The conferees provide $476,274,000 for the Inertial Confinement Fusion and High Yield Campaign, which includes $62,500,000 for Omega at the University of Rochester, $48,000,000 for the Z facility at Sandia National Laboratory, and $5,000,000 for the Naval Research Laboratory, as requested."
