Description

The Dept. of Defense (DOD) and the Dept. of Energyäó»s (DOEäó»s) National Nuclear Security Admin. (NNSA) are jointly responsible for managing aspects of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The Nuclear Weapons Council (Council), established by Congress in 1986, includes five senior officials from both departments; it facilitates coordination between DOD and NNSA and establishes program priorities. DOD and NNSA are working to modernize the nuclear enterprise, including delivery systems and nuclear weapons, and they project that this work will cost about $332 billion through 2025. This report addresses (1) how the Council carries out its statutory and regulatory responsibilities and any challenges it faces in doing so; and (2) the extent to which the Counciläó»s actions are consistent with key practices for interagency collaboration. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
