GOP budget plan in US House calls for cuts at Hanford nuclear cleanup site

Cuts that Republicans in the U.S. House are seeking to the nuclear cleanup at Washington’s Hanford site would go deeper than steep reductions the Trump administration proposed.
Hanford’s fiscal 2026 budget is almost $3.3 billion. The Trump administration wants to chop that by roughly $400 million. The GOP-controlled House wants to subtract another $55 million. The Republican-dominated Senate has yet to unveil its proposal.
The combined proposed cuts translate to a $2.77 billion Hanford budget for the 2027 federal fiscal year, which begins in October, according to the House Appropriations Committee’s proposed budget for the U.S. Department of Energy.
The proposed Hanford cuts appear to be driven by the Trump administration’s efforts to drastically increase the defense budget.
