Nuclear Surety

Abstract

Because of their political and military importance, destructive power, and the potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized act, nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon systems require special consideration--nuclear surety-- and must be protected against risks and threats inherent in their peacetime and wartime environments. Oversight of the DoD nuclear surety program is provided by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Matters.
