Abstract
Congress has directed the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) to submit to the Congressional leadership and intelligence committees an annual, unclassified report assessing the safety and security of the nuclear facilities and military forces in Russia. Congress has requested that each report include a discussion of the following: 1) The ability of the Russian Government to maintain its nuclear military forces. 2) The security arrangements at Russia's civilian and military nuclear facilities. 3) The reliability of controls and safety systems at Russia's civilian nuclear facilities. 4) The reliability of command and control systems and procedures of the nuclear military forces in Russia. This report is the fourth responding to this Congressional request. The report addresses facilities and forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Federal Agency for Atomic Energy (formerly the Ministry of Atomic Energy), and other Russian institutes. It updates the February 2002 report to Congress. This paper has been prepared under the auspices of the National Intelligence Officer for Weapons of Mass Destruction and Proliferation.
