The Administration has requested a 5.1 percent or $568.2 million increase for the National Nuclear Security Administration for FY 2012. Under this request, funding would increase from the FY 2011 Administration request of $11,214.8 million to $11,782.9 million.
An FY 2011 appropriation bill has not been passed for the NNSA. However, the Department of Energy has based its comparisons on the FY 2011 request, and not on the FY 2010 appropriation.
