Nuclear Matters
Abstract
The purpose of the Nuclear Matters program, formerly called Counterproliferation Support, is to sustain the U.S. nuclear deterrent posture. The funds for this program are used to support research, development, test and evaluation efforts as well as studies and analyses for nuclear weapons security; use control; nuclear weapons stockpile safety, survivability and performance; and office management. Funds are also used to develop and implement plans for stockpile transformation; infrastructure analyses and assessments; DoD-NNSA Nuclear Weapons Council activities, as mandated by Title 10 USC, section 179; radiological and nuclear emergency response efforts; and manage international programs of nuclear cooperation, particularly with respect to enhancing international nuclear safety and security and office management. In fiscal year 2004, this program incorporated additional responsibility for policy development and implementation, and operations and oversight of nuclear weapons physical security and Personnel Reliability Programs for the protection of tactical, fixed and nuclear weapons systems, DoD personnel and DoD facilities.
