Accountability and Control of Warheads in the Custody of the Department of Defense and the Energy Research and Development Administration

Abstract

The record systems the Defense Nuclear Agency and Energy Research and Development Administration use for accountability and control of nuclear weapons were found to be functioning properly. No discrepancies were noted between the active stockpile and accountability records. However,- Defense Nuclear Agencys inspection function would be more effective if the units to be inspected were selected independently rather than taken from lists of units nominated by the military services.
