WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Monday signed a $27.3 billion energy and water bill -- including slightly more than $2 billion for Hanford's cleanup.

The bill, however, gave Bush most of what he sought for early work on a long-delayed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nev., but gave him less than he wanted for research on low-intensity nuclear weapons.

The legislation allocated about $7 billion to the Department of Energy's nuclear cleanup programs, including $2.04 billion to Hanford.

That Hanford amount, which DOE has said is enough to keep all cleanup work on schedule, has remained intact through the past few months of congressional committee work.

The legislation allocates $1.079 billion to DOE's Office of River Protection, which manages Hanford's radioactive waste tank farms and the current construction of a waste glassification complex.

Another $963 million is earmarked for DOE's Richland office, which manages everything else at Hanford.

However, Hanford is not guaranteed to receive those amounts for fiscal 2004, which began Oct. 1.

DOE's headquarters traditionally does some last-minute shifting of its sites' budgets after Bush signs the appropriations bill.

After DOE makes its final adjustments, the field offices -- such as the two at Hanford -- then will receive their final budgets for fiscal 2004.

The legislation, which is packed with hundreds of water projects from coast to coast, including many the administration did not request, was approved by the House 387-36 and by the Senate on a voice vote.

The energy-water bill approved by the House provided half of the $15 million Bush proposed for research on "bunker-buster" bombs, designed to destroy underground targets.

It also had all $6 million he wanted for research into "mini-nukes" of less than 5 kilotons, though the administration will get $4 million of that amount only after giving lawmakers a report on the status of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile.

The bill included $580 million for Yucca Mountain, about 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

The spending, up $123 million from last year, was opposed by Nevada legislators who have long fought location of the waste site in their state.

The legislation funds programs of the Energy Department, the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation, the Army Corps of Engineers and several other agencies.
