Hazardous Material Management for the NIMITZ-Class Nuclear Aircraft Carrier Program.

Abstract

The Nimitz-Class Nuclear Aircraft Carrier (the Nimitz Class), a Navy Acquisition Category IC program, is designed to support and operate aircraft to engage in attacks on targets afloat and ashore that threaten the Navy's use of the sea and to engage in sustained operations in support of other forces. Construction of the Nimitz-Class nuclear aircraft carriers began in October 1967. The Nimitz-Class consists of 10 carriers, of which 8 are operational. The two remaining aircraft carriers, CVN-76 and CVN-77, are scheduled for delivery in December of 2002 and 2008, respectively. The December 31, 1998, Selected Acquisition Report, estimates the cost for the CVN-76 and the CVN-?7 to be $5.4 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively.
