This section orders a study on shrinking the volume and toxic lifetime of nuclear waste. Based on that study, the Secretary must give Congress a 5-year research plan on new waste-reducing technology. Congress authorized $4,700,000 for fiscal year 1993 and needed funds for 1994.

(a) Study. The Secretary had to study how to minimize the volume and toxic lifetime of nuclear waste. This includes analyzing whether existing technology can do this and assessing how much research and development new technology would need. (b) Program. Based on that study, the Secretary had to give Congress a 5-year plan for a research and development program on new technology to minimize nuclear waste's volume and toxic lifetime — and so reduce the hazards it causes. (c) Authorization of appropriations. Congress authorized $4,700,000 for fiscal year 1993, and whatever sums are needed for fiscal year 1994, to carry out this section.
