Summary

Directs the Secretary to develop a multi-year critical technology strategy for each critical technology listed in the National Critical Technologies Report. Authorizes the Secretary and the directors of departmental laboratories to enter into partnerships that build on the core competencies of the laboratories to conduct research, development, demonstration, or commercial application activities in areas listed in the Report or in energy efficiency or supply, high-performance computing, the environment, human health, advanced manufacturing technologies, advanced materials, transportation, space, or quality technologies, or technologies listed in the annual defense critical technologies plan. Requires the Secretary to establish a: (1) Laboratory Partnership Advisory Board within DOE; and (2) program to encourage scientists and engineers from departmental laboratories to serve in the research facilities of governments, educational institutions, and industrial organizations in the United States and foreign countries. Directs the Secretary to report to specified congressional committees on opportunities for minority colleges and universities to participate in DOE or departmental laboratory programs. Requires the Secretary to establish a career path program to recruit employees of the national laboratories to serve in DOE positions. Amends the Federal criminal code and the Federal Procurement Policy Act to make certain post-employment restrictions inapplicable with respect to the national laboratories. Amends the High-Performance Computing Act of 1991 to provide for cost-shared projects involving DOE or DOE laboratories and non-Federal entities to test and apply high-performance computing and high-speed networking technologies. Authorizes appropriations. Directs the Secretary to solicit contract proposals for the deployment of a commercial uranium enrichment plant using the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation technology.
