S. 3666 reauthorizes the West Valley Demonstration Project, a federal nuclear waste management initiative, by increasing its annual funding and extending its timeline. The bill raises the project's annual budget from $75 million to $150 million per year and extends authorization through fiscal year 2037, compared to the previous expiration in 2026. This effectively doubles the project's funding while providing an additional decade of operation. The West Valley Demonstration Project, located in western New York, focuses on cleaning up and managing nuclear waste at a former reprocessing facility. The bill was introduced by Senators Gillibrand and Schumer in January 2026 and was referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for consideration.
