Washington DC: United States Congress, House of Representatives, House Armed Services Committee, Special Panel on Department of Energy Reorganization, 2000. Contemporary Xerox-style copy. Staplebound. [3], 5p pages, Appendix A (1 page), Appendix B (1 page), Appendix D (30 pages--statutory language). Congress passed a substantial reorganization of the Department of Energy (DOE) in Title 32 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (P.L. 106-65). The legislation created a new semi-autonomous agency within DOE, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), with responsibility for the nation's nuclear weapons, non-proliferation, and naval reactors programs. Congress took this action in response to a major espionage scandal, decades of documented mismanagement at the Department, and numerous reports and studies that detailed weak management, confused lines of authority, and lack of mission focus within the Department's military nuclear programs. A Special Oversight Panel on DOE Reorganization was created to work with the NNSA on the timely and effective implementation of the DOE reorganization mandated by the new law. The Panel has a number of concerns with the implementation plan. Key among them is that the plan overemphasizes DOE control over the NNSA, undermines the semi-autonomy of the NNSA, and would violate key provisions of Title 32. It would place DOE personnel and officers in key NNSA positions by "dual-hatting" them. The plan would also retain DOE management and budget processes, organizational structures, and lines of authority that the Panel believes to be flawed and that Title 32 was intended to reform. The implementation plan provided no guidance concerning budget reforms required by Title 32 or use of tools to restructure. More

Washington DC: United States Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, 2015. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Wraps. 20 pages plus covers. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is the U.S. agency responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear explosive testing; works to reduce the global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad. Established by the United States Congress in 2000, NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the United States Department of Energy. More

When this hearing was held, the United States had exported nuclear materials, equipment, and technologies to the member states of the European Atomic Energy Community, known as EURATOM, for more than 35 years. This cooperation had been governed by an agreement for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, which was first concluded in 1958 and had been amended several times. An agreement was reached to replace the agreement with a new one which was approved by the General Affairs Council of the European Union and by President Clinton. The Senate hearing was to consider the content and merits of the new agreement. More
Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1994. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. ix, [1], 82 pages. Footnotes. Figures. Tables. Boxes. Glossary of Abbreviations. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The primary purpose of this report is to identify options for enhancing the effectiveness of export controls in slowing or preventing the spread of capabilities to develop and produce weapons of mass destruction. Nevertheless, reducing the burdens of export regulation on U.S. exporters has been a major focus of discussions about revising the Export Administration Act. Therefore, the report also examines policy options directed mainly toward the goal of reducing these burdens, but with special emphasis on their implications for nonproliferation policy. OTA prepared this report as part of an assessment on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, which was requested by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, and endorsed by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and the House Committee on Armed Services.

Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. 12 pages counting covers. Illustrations (color). Map. Cover has wear, soiling, and a scuff at upper right corner of front cover. Some scuffing at upper right corners. The mission of the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC) is to prevent proliferation, ensure peaceful nuclear uses, and enable verifiable nuclear reductions. NPAC provides a comprehensive approach to strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes, achieving its mission through four subprograms: International Nuclear Safeguards, Nuclear Controls, Nuclear Verification, Nonproliferation Policy. There is a complicated network of federal agencies and interrelated regulations that govern exports collectively referred to as “Export Controls.” In brief, Export Controls regulate the shipment or transfer, by whatever means, of controlled items, software, technology, or services out of U.S. (termed an “Export”). In the nonproliferation area nuclear materials and technologies and technical data are subject to such controls. More

Illustrations (color). The Y-12 Site Office was incorporated into the Nuclear Production Office. The NNSA Production Office (NPO) ensures the safe, secure and cost-effective management of the Pantex Plant, Amarillo, Texas, and the Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, Tenn. Pantex handles nuclear weapons surveillance and life extension programs; weapons dismantlement; the development, testing and fabrication of high explosive components; and storage and surveillance of plutonium pits. Y-12 is responsible for uranium storage, processing and manufacturing operation, the production of uranium feedstock for the U.S. nuclear navy, and supports international nuclear nonproliferation programs. NPO was established in June 2012. Mission Statement “Enhancing and ensuring the future of the Nuclear Security Enterprise through effective nuclear production operations”; Mission Execute effective contract management and oversight to safely and securely maintain the nuclear weapon stockpile for the Nuclear Security Enterprise; provide enriched uranium for naval, research, and isotope production reactors, and support nonproliferation activities to reduce the global nuclear threat; Vision Make the world safer by maintaining our nation’s nuclear deterrent and reducing global nuclear security threats.

Washington, DC: United States, Department of Defense, 2010. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Glued binding. [4], xvi, 49, [1] p. Illustrations [most in color]. The Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) is a process “to determine what the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. security strategy should be. President Barack Obama's 2010 Nuclear Posture Review was preceded by high expectations because of his 2009 speech in Prague, Czech Republic where he prominently outlined a vision of a world without nuclear weapons. His NPR was hoped by observers to make concrete moves toward this goal. The finished 2010 policy renounces development of any new nuclear weapons such as the bunker-busters proposed by the Bush administration, and for the first time rules out a nuclear attack against non-nuclear-weapon states who are in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This rule specifically excludes Iran and North Korea. More
