Abstract:

The National Nuclear Security Administration works with contractors to design and make explosive materials for nuclear weapons. Challenges to carrying out this work include: Deteriorating conditions in many labs and other facilities. Dwindling supplies of specialized explosive materials. Delayed security clearances for new staff. NNSA did issue a plan to address these challenges. But it didn't follow strategic planning practices that ensure accountability over progress. For example, it generally didn't include measurable performance goals that identify timeframes and responsible parties. Our recommendations address this and other concerns.
