Description

The National Nuclear Security Admin. (NNSA) is responsible for the nation's nuclear weapons programs. As part of this mission, it oversees dismantlement of retired nuclear weapons and disposition of their components. Dismantlement occurs at NNSA's Pantex Plant, and disassembly of canned subassemblies (CSAs) from dismantled weapons occurs at the Y-12 site. This report assessed NNSA's weapons dismantlement and component disposition efforts. It examines, among other things, (1) how NNSA measures progress toward its FY 2022 dismantlement performance goal, as well as any challenges it might face in achieving the goal; (2) the schedule for and any challenges in dismantling weapons to be retired as a result of the New START treaty; (3) physical capacity available at Pantex to meet or accelerate planned dismantlement workload; and (4) any challenges in disassembling and disposing of weapon components. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
