Download or read book Nuclear Weapons written by Gene Aloise and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Nuclear Security Admin. (NNSA) manages and secures the nation¿s nuclear weapons stockpile, with annual appropriations of $6.4 billion. NNSA oversees eight contractor-operated sites that execute its programs. Two programs make up 1/3 of this budget: Readiness in Technical Base and Facilities (RTBF) Operations of Facilities, which operates and maintains weapons facilities and infrastructure, and Stockpile Services, which provides R&D and production capabilities. This report determines the extent to which NNSA¿s budget justifications for: (1) RTBF Operations of Facilities; and (2) Stockpile Services are based on the total costs of providing these capabilities. Also discusses the implications of a smaller stockpile on these costs.

Book excerpt: The congressionally mandated report A New Foundation for the Nuclear Enterprise (the "Augustine-Mies" report), released in November 2014, concluded that "the existing governance structures and many of the practices of the [nuclear security] enterprise are inefficient and ineffective, thereby putting the entire enterprise at risk over the long term." Following the release of the Augustine-Mies report, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 called for DOE to develop an implementation plan for responding to the recommendations in that and similar reports. The NDAA also called for a 4 1â"2-year study, joint between the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the National Academy of Public Administration, to evaluate the implementation plan, to track the actions proposed in that plan, and to assess progress. This report is the second in a series of reports to be issued over 2017â€"2020 as part of that study.

Download or read book National Nuclear Security Administration Action Needed to Address Affordability of Nuclear Modernization Programs written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " To ensure that the nation's existing nuclear weapons remain safe and reliable, the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review identified a set of long-term modernization goals for the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile that include sustaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear arsenal and investing in a modern infrastructure. NNSA, which is responsible for the stockpile, is charged with carrying out these goals. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 includes a provision for GAO to report annually on NNSA's nuclear security budget materials. This is the sixth year that GAO has undertaken work in response to this provision. This report assesses the extent to which NNSA's fiscal year 2017 nuclear security budget materials (1) differ, if at all, from its budget estimates and plans for modernization activities as presented in its fiscal year 2016 budget materials and (2) align with NNSA's modernization plans. GAO analyzed NNSA's fiscal year 2016 and 2017 nuclear security budget materials associated with those years' Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plans, and interviewed officials from NNSA and the Office of Management and Budget.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO has identified challenges in determining and comparing costs across NNSA’s eight sites. Congress needs this information to carry out its oversight responsibilities and make budgetary decisions. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 required NNSA to implement a common financial reporting system across all sites. Separately, in 2013, NNSA awarded a single M&O contract for the Y-12 and Pantex sites, which included a requirement to consolidate the two sites’ business systems. This report examines (1) the status of the effort to consolidate the business systems at Y- 12 and Pantex and the extent to which CNS and NNSA followed guidance and leading practices, and (2) the steps NNSA has taken in implementing common financial reporting across all eight sites and the extent to which this effort follows leading practices. GAO is making seven recommendations, including that NNSA should implement a common work breakdown structure and should follow leading practices to collect and document requirements to define project scope.

Download or read book National Nuclear Security Administration written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective management and oversight of contracts, projects, and programs are dependent upon the availability of reliable enterprise-wide financial management information. Such information is also needed by Congress to carry out its oversight responsibilities and make budgetary decisions. However, meaningful cost analysis of NNSA programs, including comparisons across programs, contractors, and sites, is not possible because NNSA's contractors use different methods of accounting for and tracking costs. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 required NNSA to develop and submit to Congress a plan to improve and integrate its financial management. An explanatory statement accompanying the act included a provision for GAO to review the adequacy of NNSA's plan. This report evaluates the extent to which NNSA's plan (1) addresses the objectives of the act and (2) follows leading practices for planning. GAO reviewed NNSA's plan and compared it with legislative requirements and leading practices for planning and interviewed NNSA officials.
Download or read book National Nuclear Security Administration written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NNSA is responsible for overseeing the work of seven M&O contractors that execute its programs across eight nuclear security enterprise sites and evaluating their performance. NNSA directed its M&O contractors in 2011 to implement CAS-systems designed and used by contractors to assure their own performance-that NNSA could also leverage for oversight purposes and thereby improve efficiency. To determine the extent to which to use contractor-generated information made available through CAS, NNSA is to apply a framework for evaluating the risk of contractors' activities, their past performance, and their CAS maturity. GAO was asked to review NNSA's implementation of its framework for using CAS. This report examines the extent to which NNSA has fully established policies and guidance for using information from CAS to (1) oversee M&O contractors and (2) evaluate M&O contractors' performance; and whether NNSA has determined it has sufficient, qualified personnel to implement its framework for using information from CAS for these two purposes. To conduct its work, GAO surveyed all NNSA field offices and analyzed key policies and guidance on NNSA's use of information from CAS.

GAO analyzed NNSA financial data and other pertinent documents, and interviewed officials from multiple agencies. "
