“Getting the Job Done”

1. “Getting the Job Done” May 2006 Nuclear and non-nuclear strike capabilities Command and Control, Intelligence, Planning Responsive Infrastructure Defenses Complex 2030 A Preferred Infrastructure Planning Scenario for the Nuclear Weapons Complex

2. Vision for the Future “We can, and will, change the size, the composition, the character of our nuclear forces in a way that reflects the reality that the Cold War is over. I am committed to achieving a credible deterrent with the lowest-possible number of nuclear weapons consistent with our national security needs, including our obligations to our allies.” President Bush, May 2001

3. Future Today Enablers of Transformation 2012 2012-2030 Future 2001 Increased confidence in warhead designs and demonstration of a responsive infrastructure will enable a reduction in total stockpile size

4. Principles for Change • Meet national security responsibilities to the current stockpile without interruptions. • Preserve a premier science and technology base as essential to future nuclear capabilities. • Demonstrate all phases of production required to maintain the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. • In partnership with the DoD, transform the stockpile consistent with the Nuclear Posture Review through concepts such as a reliable replacement warhead (RRW). Balance current life-extension programs for legacy weapons with a transition to RRW concepts. • Transform the complex to be more responsive and cost-effective. Start plans with an assumption that no additional new funds are available for transformation. Operations of the complex will be simplified and essential capabilities/capacities maintained.

5. Complex 2030 Scenario Version 8.1

6. Four Long-term Strategies and A Near-Term Commitment • In partnership with DoD, transform the nuclear stockpile • Transform to a modernized, cost-effective nuclear weapons complex • Create a fully integrated and interdependent nuclear weapons complex • Drive the science and technology base essential for long-term national security • Build confidence in the transformation process

7. Long-term Implementation Strategies • In partnership with DoD, transform the nuclear stockpile. • Transform to an RRW-stockpile by ~2030. • Transform to a modernized, cost-effective nuclear weapons complex. • Go to a consolidated plutonium center by 2022 with distributed modernization in place for remaining capabilities. • Start NNSA scoping of a programmatic environmental impact statement on future complex alternatives in 2006. • Consolidate CAT I/II special nuclear (SNM) materials – no CAT I/II SNM at national labs in the long-term, fewer locations within production plants. • Create a consolidated plutonium center for CAT I/II quantities of materials. • Modernize remaining production capabilities in place (e.g., uranium at Y-12).

15. Transform the Nuclear Stockpile Legacy Stockpile Program of Record Smaller but all Legacy Stockpile Legacy Stockpile Program of Record Smaller, Transformed, RRW Stockpile Things we will do: • Maintain the viability of legacy weapons until replaced. Assure confidence in the reliability, safety, security, and performance of the nuclear deterrent without underground nuclear testing. • Accelerate dismantlement completion from 2034 to 2023 of legacy weapons currently planned for retirement. • Engage in partnership with the Department of Defense to deploy reliable replacement warhead (RRW) concepts. Work with DoD to modify legacy stockpile Program of Record: • Suggest limiting number of W76-1 warheads completed in the Life Extension Program (LEP). • Suggest canceling the W80 LEP now and reducing warhead numbers. • Suggest reducing the number of B61-7 refurbishments and canceling the B61 non-nuclear LEP. • Suggest canceling the W78 LEP. • Implement a continuous design/deployment cycle that exercises the design and production capabilities and enables responsiveness of the nuclear weapons complex. • Sustain capability to test. Transformed, Smaller RRW Stockpile – Component reuse as near-term option with new components later

16. Modernize the NuclearWeapons Complex (Nuclear Issues) Near-term NEPA process likely not required to implement, i.e., this could be considered as the “no action” alternative. Go straight to Modernize in Place Go fast to a Consolidated Nuclear Production Center (CNPC) Program of Record Go to a consolidated plutonium center by 2022 with distributed modernization in place for remaining capabilities Near-term NEPA process likely required to implement. Go slower with a phased approach to a CNPC with Interim Facilities

17. Modernize the NuclearWeapons Complex (Nuclear Issues) • Start scoping of a potential National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process in 2006 on future complex alternatives and siting decisions. In addition, begin independent business case assessments to support decisions. • Reduce the number of sites with CAT I/II special nuclear materials (SNM): • Eliminate need for CAT I/II SNM security at SNL by end of 2008. • De-inventory CAT I/II SNM removed from LLNL by the end of 2014 (tied to CMRR). Move SNM in 2008 or earlier. • By 2022 LANL (the Laboratory) will not operate facilities containing CAT I/II quantities of SNM. The location and operator of the consolidated plutonium center will be determined following NEPA compliance actions. • Upgrade Y-12 as the NNSA CAT I/II uranium center: • Complete HEUMF and plan/build a UPF with a baseline capacity of 125 units per year. • Achieve significant reductions in Cat I/II SNM footprint at Y-12. • Plan, construct, and start up a consolidated plutonium center at an existing CAT I/II site for long-term NNSA plutonium CAT I/II R&D, surveillance, manufacturing, and storage/disposition operations. • Complete the consolidated plutonium center with a capacity to support 125 RRW war reserve pits per year by 2022. • Upgrade PF-4 to support an interim production rate of 30 to 50 RRW war reserve pits/year by 2012. • Complete CMRR with CAT I/II capability until 2022 to support PF-4 and closure of LLNL B332 and LANL CMR. • Upgrade Pantex throughput for increased assembly/disassembly operations. Use DAF as backup for weapon assembly/disassembly/dismantlement operations. • Transition large-scale hydrotesting to NTS. Prepare LLNL Site 300 disposition plan in 2007. • Retain tritium capabilities and consolidate R&D.

18. Modernize the Nuclear WeaponsComplex (Non-Nuclear Issues) • Establish a Supply Chain Management Center by end of 2007. • Create a smaller non-nuclear production facility that is occupied by 2012 for components that cannot be outsourced. • Outsource synthesis and formulation of high explosive (HE) materials as practical, outsource or consolidate large-scale HE production pressing, and consolidate HE machining to Pantex. • Consolidate HE R&D and laboratory-scale testing (without Cat I/II SNM). • Maintain secure transportation assets to support DOE-wide requirements. • Rely on capability computing at a single site at any one time (accessible complex-wide) and distributed capacity computing at multiple sites. • Operate high-energy density physics facilities (e.g., LANSCE, Omega, Z, and NIF), as well as other major science assets, as national, shared user facilities. • Cease NNSA operations at Tonopah Test Range by end of 2009 through use of alternative, non-NNSA operated ranges and elimination of joint test assemblies containing SNM through alternative designs and/or test techniques.

19. Create a Fully Integrated and Interdependent Complex • Create a more integrated and interdependent system of laboratories, plants, and test sites. • Use fewer, more standard, contracts to incentivize sharing of risks & rewards across the complex and implement approaches that balance mission, safety and security. • Use an independent, national-level organization to lead requirements development and cost estimating for construction projects and use a recognized contract management firm. • Implement uniformity across the nuclear weapon complex in business practices, information management, program management, risk management, and RTBF. • Ensure NNSA Leadership works in a uniform, integrated manner that balances competing priorities. • Establish structure (e.g., systems engineering and integration contractor and clear roles/responsibilities) to balance competing priorities across missions, risks, program elements, and distributed sites. • Implement an approach and culture that manages risk rather than seeks to eliminate it. Apply risk-informed decision-making to safety and security (both physical and cyber) decisions. • Implement actions in response to Defense Science Board February 2006 recommendations. • Ensure intellectual competition, peer review, and essential nuclear capabilities are sustained during consolidation of missions and elimination of redundancies. • Implement predictive surveillance evaluations to reduce flight-test requirements.

20. Drive Science and Technology Base • Establish a science and technology model by the end of 2007 that defines the needed capabilities required to sustain the stockpile in the long term. • Recognize that Work for Others plays an essential role in maintaining capabilities required for the NNSA mission. Encourage stronger Work for Others in key mission areas. • Manage the transition to a lower cost NNSA national laboratory complex. Develop a plan by the end of 2007 to eliminate duplicative facilities and programs and maintain key capabilities. • Partner with the Office of Science and other leading national R&D sponsors regarding the national laboratory complex. Define options and recommended path forward by the end of 2007. • Develop jointly funded, integrated programs within NNSA and the DOE Office of Science that develop the leading edge science and engineering capabilities needed for national security. • Implement joint planning between the Office of Science and NNSA starting a pilot in the FY 2008 budget cycle.

21. Responsive Infrastructure Objectives • Identify, understand, and fix stockpile problems in time to assure continued confidence in the reliability and safety of the stockpile. • Dismantle warheads on a timescale consistent with policy requirements. • Ensure warheads are available to augment the operationally deployed force on a timescale that supports DoD requirements. • Design, develop, certify, and complete first production units of refurbished or replacement warheads on a frequency that both sustains the stockpile and exercises the supporting infrastructure and critical skills. • Improve the capability to design, develop, certify, and complete production of new or adapted warheads in the event of new military requirements. • Produce required quantities of warheads in time to meet military requirements. • Demonstrate nuclear competencies that assure allies, dissuade adversaries, and ensure against technological surprise. • Sustain readiness to conduct underground nuclear tests. • Ensure an economically sustainable nuclear weapons enterprise.
