What the grant funds

The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the TBD hereafter referred to as the "Recipient" is to facilitate engagement among Tribal government officials from federally recognized Native American Tribes, with DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Integrated Waste Management (DOE-IWM), DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM), and Office of Packaging and Transportation (DOE-OPT) in planning and coordination for Departmental radioactive materials shipments, both ongoing and for future large-scale DOE transportation of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF), high-level radioactive waste (HLW), and other radioactive materials.
