Allows the Secretary, in entering into an agreement, to use procedures other than competitive procedures as described in specified provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. Requires any entity under contract to operate the IRRC to operate the Fast Flux Test Facility pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act and meet other requirements. Exempts the activities authorized under this Act from licensing or regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Establishes in the Treasury the IRRC Fund to consist of all amounts received under the assessments under this Act.
