Description

Nuclear weapons continue to be an essential part of the nationäó»s defense strategy. The end of the cold war resulted in a shift from producing new nuclear weapons to maintaining the stockpile through refurbishment. Also, billions of dollars in scheduled maintenance for nuclear weapons infrastructure has been deferred. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has identified long-term stockpile modernization goals that include sustaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear arsenal and investing in a modern infrastructure. This report (1) identifies changes in estimates to the 2015 budget materials from the prior yearäó»s materials; (2) assesses the extent to which NNSAäó»s 2015 budget estimates align with plans for major modernization efforts; and (3) addresses NNSAäó»s goal of stopping the growth of its deferred maintenance backlog. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
