President Trump released his budget proposal for the 2018 FY on May 23, 2017, expanding on the budget blueprint he released in March.

They also provide for significant changes in energy policy including: restarting the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, reinstating collection of the Nuclear Waste Fund fee and eliminating DOE research and development programs.
