our rpe is we are continuing to ramp up our investment in rpe to $350 million. this is a 27.3% increase over our enacted balance in fy '12. again, this is an area where we've looked pretty hard at what we're doing in that program and we have actually terminated some of the grants that have been issued early on in that program. these projects were not meeting milestones, technical intent, and so we actually closed down those projects and put the money back into the -- into rpe, ready for deployment. in science, we're pretty steady here. we're just under $5 billion in our request for '13, which is a 2.4% increase over our enacted budget in 2012. there are other agencies that also received increases in their fy '13 requests, indicating an investment, continued investment in science activities. i would also say, too, like eere, we also made some pretty tough choices in what we were emphasizing in science and what we were not emphasizing as much, reflected in this budget. our nnsa budget, $11.5 billion this year, representing a 4.9% increase over fy '12. again, focus

rpe in 11 project received $47 million of rpe funding over the the last two years has attracted more than $200 million of private capital funding. after they did the research. and this is again based on this very strong performance and early successes, we think this is certainly money very well spent and we're asking for an additional increase in funding. . nuclear security, we're asking for nuclear security objects. and let me just ask you through this. nuclear security means we're responsible for our weapons systems. it means we're also trying to lock down and we're ahead of schedule in locking down all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world. we're also responsible for work in nonproliferation. in terms of the budget, in order to reduce the nuclear dangers, environmental risks, we're asking for $7.6 billion to maintain a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent. $2.5 billion for or nonproliferation work.

additionally the budget requests include $350 million for rpe to support research projects that could fundamentally transform the way we use and produce energy. rpe invests in high risk high reward research projects that if successful could create the foundation for entirely new industries. in addition to strengthening our economy, the budget request strengthens our security by providing 11.5 billion within the national nuclear security administration. the engineering capabilities within the nuclear securities enterprise will become more important in sustaining the u.s. newark deterrent. that's why the budget requests asks for $6.7 billion for weapons activity and $1.1 billion for the naval program. additionally it supports nsa's work to prevent terrorism. includes 2.5 billion to implement key nuclear security, nonproliferation and energy control activities. finally the budget request includes 5.7 billion to continue progress to clean up the cold war nuclear sites. the budget request makes strategic investments to promote prosperity and security. at the same time we recognize the coun

additionally, the budget request includes 350 million for rpe to support research projects that could fundamentally transform the ways we use and produce energy. rpe invests in high risk, high reward research projects that, if successful, could create the foundation for entirely new industries. in addition to strengthening our economy, the budget request strengthens our security by providing $11.5 billion to the national nuclear security administration. as the united states begins the star treaty, the science, technology and engineering capableties within a security enterprise will become more important to sustaining the u.s. nuclear deterrent. that is why the budget request includes weapons activities and $1.1 billion for the reactor program. initially, it's nsa's work to pro vent nuclear terrorism, which is one of president obama's top priorities. includes 2.5 billion to include arms control activities. finally, the budget request includes $5.7 billion to continue progress and clean up the nation's cold war nuclear sites. the budget request makes strategic investments to promote our

example, if you look across the department of energy, we have programs in the office of science in rpe and energy. we are coordinating across those different funding streams and want to maximize across those areas. we're doing this in solar energy, in batteries, in biofuels. coordinating the efforts. and we are approaching this in a business sense and that's what i mean across the lines of business so that we can with the precious u.s. dollars be the most effective in simulating new innovation that would not have occurred without us. we are undergoing a number of things to save taxpayer money through more efficient operations. let me give you a few. we're avoiding $3 million in costs through travel. we found the previous policy was to use refundable airline tickets and in most cases, you could save a lot of money by purchasing is nonrefundable tickets, that means you purchase three to four weeks ahead. there's rare examples where you would not use those tickets, we think we can save a lot of money in travel that way. we've overhauled the website and saved $10 million annually. we've re

science will increase understanding and spur new energy technology development, continued investments in rpe will support high-risk information energy projects, helping them to mature and attract nongovernmental funding. support for solar and wind and geothermal and biomass energy will develop our portfolio of available energy sources and enable a transition to cleaner technologies. and meanwhile funding for research on carbon capture and sequestration and methane gas hydrates and minimization of the impact of shale gas development will allow us to utilize fossil fuel resources in a responsible way. this budget also provides funding to address critical grid modernization issues through a new electricity systems innovation hub and significant funding increases for advanced energy efficient manufacturing. this holds a promise of providing jobs for the future. it's important to recognize that the research and development programs that i've mentioned here cannot fully meet the challenges of bringing new energy technologies to the commercial marketplace. the capital requirements to move promising

the budget asks for $250 million to fun rpe. they received moneys over the last four years and received private capital funding, after they did the research. this is based on the strong performance and early successes. we think this is money very well spent and we are asking for an additional increase in funding. to nuclear security. we're asking for 11.5 billion dollars sna to support the objectives. let me walk you through this. this means we are responsible for our weapons systems. we're also trying to lock down all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world. we are responsible for work and non-proliferation. in terms of the budget in order to reduce the dangers, environmental risks, we asked for $7.6 billion to maintain a safe nuclear deterrent. to put five brand dollars for our non-proliferation work. $5.7 billion to clean up the cold war legacy. with that i give it back to our visual expert. >> thank you. the next slides, but it is published on-line, so you can get the details, justification materials. if you do not hav

additionally, the budget request includes $350 million for rpe.pe invest in high-risk high reward projects that are successful to create the foundation for entitling new industries. in addition to strengthening the economy, the budget request strengthen our security by providing $11.5 billion to the national security -- the national nuclear security administration. as we began reductions, the science, technology, and -- engineering technologies will become even more important to sustain the u.s. nuclear deterrent. that is what the budget request includes $7.6 billion for weapons activities. it includes $1.1 billion to remove naval nuclear programs. additionally i do support work to prevent nuclear terrorism. that is what the president's top priorities. it will implement key nuclear security. finally, the budget requests $5.7 billion to continue progress cleaning up the nation's nuclear sites. the budget requests makes strategic investments to promote prosperity and security at the same time recognizing the fiscal challenges and cutting where we ca
