Defense Programs Strategic Vision for 2030
Washington, DC: National Nuclear Security Administration, Office of Defense Programs, 2005. Presumed first edition/first printing. Pamphlet. [2], iv, 17, [1] pages. Illustrations (most in color). Acronyms. In 2005 the Nation's nuclear weapons enterprise put forth a vision for evolving the program and its design and production facilities and the underlying technologies and infrastructure for the coming quarter century. This document reflects work performed over the preceding two years that resulted in developing this vision for the future nuclear weapons stockpile and its support NNSA infrastructure. This vision was derived from a number of sources, including the 2001 Nuclear Posture Review, discussions at the 2003 Stockpile Stewardship Conference held at U.S. STRATCOM, the Strategic Capabilities Assessment (SCA) and Administration guidance on the implementation of the Treaty of Moscow. The result was the issuance of the DP Strategic Vision in May 2004. Additional strategic management retreats and other discussions resulted in this updated version, that defines the future state to be used for planning purposes. From the NNSA website: "The NNSA is responsible for the management and security of the nation's nuclear weapons, nuclear nonproliferation, and naval reactor programs. NNSA has responsibility for strategic and program planning, budgeting and oversight of research, development and nonproliferation activities. NNSA responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies. NNSA provides safe and secure transportation of nuclear weapons and components and special nuclear materials. NNSA relies on contractors to manage site operations and to adhere to Department of Energy policies when operating the laboratories, production plants, and other facilities within the complex. NNSA implements an all-encompassing Stockpile Stewardship program that includes operations associated with surveillance, assessment, maintenance, refurbishment, manufacture and dismantlement of nuclear weapons as well as research and development and certification efforts. Condition: Very good.
