These DASMA responsibilities and authorities are set forth in DOE Orders. This Operational Emergency Management Plan (OEMP) describes the operations and staffing of the DASMA organization to implement assigned responsibilities. This plan requires the support of not only the DASMA Office Directors but other Department of Energy Secretarial Offices. DP-22 will be the coordinating Office for DASMA in implementing this plan. The plan was issued by Brigadier General Paul F. Kavanaugh, United States Army, who was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Military Application (DASMA) in the Office of Defense Programs at the time. The Table of Contents includes Chapter 1: Plan for DASMA Emergencies and Incidents, Chapter 2: Procedures, and Appendices including References, Definitions, Duty Officer Plans and Procedures, DASMA Initial Response Team, Operational Emergency Management Team (OEMT), Telephone Directory, and Checklists. One of NNSA’s core missions is to ensure the United States maintains a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear stockpile through the application of unparalleled science, technology, engineering, and manufacturing. The Office of Defense Programs carries out NNSA’s mission to maintain and modernize the nuclear stockpile through the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program. Details about nuclear weapons, deterrence, and NNSA’s management of the stockpile can be found in the Nuclear Matters Handbook and the current Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan. Most nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile were produced during the 1950s and 1960s. At the time of their original production, nuclear weapons were not designed or intended to last indefinitely.
Because the United States also voluntarily ended underground nuclear explosive testing, NNSA uses a science-based assessment of the reliability of nuclear weapons to assess and certify the stockpile without nuclear explosive testing, called the Stockpile Stewardship Program. NNSA’s nuclear security enterprise is composed of a nationwide network of government-owned, contractor-operated national security laboratories and nuclear weapons production facilities. These facilities provide the necessary research, development, testing, and production capabilities needed to carry out stockpile stewardship. Part of keeping the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile safe and effective includes working with the Department of Defense, through the Nuclear Weapons Council, to maintain the quantity and quality of weapons necessary for U.S. national security needs.
